Once Upon A Time..

*Indeed the smaller Onceler screams, his voice echoing through out the abandon like castle. Queen whips back and feels his heart pound loud in his chest, though, is quick to relax, assuming this beastly other is someone he knows* 

o-oh dear! Mr. Monster, you gave me a fright! Please dont do that on a little lady like me, you nearly scared me half to death 

*giggles awkwardly while hand holds over his chest* 

But what’re you doing in a lonely castle like this when your work is in the city? …..

Mr. Monster, could you step a bit closer? I can’t see your face.

Another bone-chilling growl escapes the beast’s throat as Queen stumbles over his words, though Beast was only half-listening-- until Queen asks him to show himself. There’s a brief moment of hesitation before he steps towards the other, bringing himself into the light, slowly straightening his posture until he’s towering over the intruder, his muzzle curled into an angry snarl, and two fierce blue eyes bore into Queen.

A monster indeed stood before him, but it wasn’t the monster he knew.

[The Beast immediately halts and turns sharply to face you.]

--EXCUSE ME?

Love me? LOVE ME!?

YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST WALTZ INTO MY CASTLE UNANNOUNCED, SPEWING THE VERY SAME LINES AS THAT GODS-FORSAKEN WITCH WHO CURSED ME TEN YEARS AGO!?

[He stands; completely towering over you-- an altogether terrifying and imposing image. His voice is loud enough to rattle the very walls; and the castles vast and open hallways only amplify its ferocity.]

I WAS A CHILD; I HAD JUST TURNED TEN. TEN, FOR CHRIST’S SAKE!! WHAT SORT OF PERSON THINKS ITS OKAY TO ARBITRARILY DECIDE TO TURN A CHILD INTO A MONSTER!? TEN YEARS HAVE I BEEN FORCED INTO SOLITUDE BECAUSE OF THAT WITCH, TOO AFRAID TO STEP OUTSIDE BECAUSE I WILL ONLY EVER BE SEEN FOR WHAT I APPEAR TO BE-- A HORRIBLE, MONSTROUS BEAST.

[The Beast looms ever close to you, backing you towards the doorway.]

Take your bleeding heart and get out of my castle. I don’t need your “love”.

[Angry growl]

[A loud growl chills your bones.]

No. I don't leave the castle, and the villagers have forgotten about my existence.

[SNARLS]

*A small sharp squeak leaves the other’s lips, his heart pounding like crazy*

H-haha. 

Calm down my heart, it’s just the old plumbing, haha that’s it. Yeah, it’s an old place 

..

mmnh should of had Lorax come with me though, it’s a bit spooky in here…and dark. 

[There’s a heavy thud and the scraping of claws against marble; the growling seems to be growing louder, angrier.]

[Hot air blows against the nape of Queen’s neck, and a deep, gruff voice booms in his ears.]

DIDN’T YOU SEE THE SIGNS?
