I never thought fairy tales could actually be real. But my belief that they weren't quickly came crashing down when I, Katherine Cain, met a man completely opposite of me; Virgo Dacien. You see, half of my face is a birthmark, making me look extremely different from everyone- ugly, as everyone preferred to say. Virgo on the other hand? His hair was black as night, his eyes the lightest shade of blue, with a chiseled, stubble covered jaw, and the most perfect teeth i'd ever seen. And he was outrageously strong..... and terrifyingly warm. Though, I can't complain much. His strength saved me from plummeting to my death and his heat warmed me from a chilled breeze. But little did I know, Virgo was much more than a man, but a beast, and he was about to drag me into a fantasy world filled with mythical fights, a rejected luna, and a target being placed on my back that everyone, myth and reality alike, wanted to take a shot at at any given chance. Will he be able to save me?

I scrunched my brow in confusion, turning my car on and rolling the window down to question him. “Sorry? For what?” “I shouldn’t have acted like that back there,” he continued, rubbing the back of his neck in nervousness. “It’s just-” “It’s okay,” I smiled, cutting him off gently. “You’re the only one that has ever really stuck up for me before. I should be the one apologizing for making you feel like you had to do that.” Virgo bent down to lean on my door, his smile contagious, “I’m happy I got to meet you, but I have some business to attend to now.” Hiding the fact my heart dropped with his goodbye, I nodded with a smile, unable to say anything- because the only thing to say was goodbye back, and I honestly didn’t want to. Virgo gave my car a couple taps as he straightened up, backing away from the car as my queue to
It ended up taking us an hour and a half to reach my little red car. Surprisingly, it was still the only car parked outside of the dense woods, but I tried to ignore it. He seemed somewhat sporty, so I assumed he may have walked. After a short drive, we arrived at a somewhat-popular mom-and-pop 50’s style restaurant before parking and nearly rushing inside. Our stomachs had become in sync with demanding food, and upon entering we had unanimously chosen a table in the far back of the restaurant. The 50’s feel to it made it feel like walking through a time machine; and no matter how many times I walked through the front door, it never ceased to amaze me. But, almost as soon as we sat down and placed our orders, Virgo excused himself to go to the bathroom. At first, I thought nothing of it, but after our food had arrived and I received a refill on my drink, he still hadn’t come back and I had already begun to fill with embarrassed dread. ‘Of course,’ I slumped in my seat, ‘it was t
Virgo Dacien. He’s a bit odd, and that’s a lot coming from someone like me. As we began walking back towards where my tiny, red, compact car was parked, which was no short stroll either, the strange man didn’t seem bothered in the slightest. Though I couldn’t help but think of the slightest chance his prettiness was the lure to something sinister; After all, if the murderer isn’t masked, then it was always one of the best-looking people in a horror movie who was the one stabbing everyone. “If I wanted to kill you,” he broke the silence, as if he were reading my mind, “what would’ve been the purpose of saving you in the first place?” I looked up at him, his tall stature towering over my short, 5’4 frame, just as he looked down at me, our eyes meeting. I instantly blushed, looking away as my face turned red. “I’m sorry,” I muttered softly. Why am I apologizing for simply looking at him? “Sorry?” He huffed, “you don’t need to apologize; but what made you want to join the fish?” I
I never thought fairytales could be real. To believe in them would’ve been considered childish. But when I found out they were more than just real, and I was suddenly sucked into one, it took me a long time to realize I was finally free.... ----------- I’m ugly. I’ll admit it. At least that’s what everyone I’ve ever encountered made me feel. My mother sent me to foster care when I was 10, my dad having left before I had a chance to even remember his face outside of old photos; and I truly believe that my mother only waited until I was 10 because she couldn’t find someone to take me sooner. I also have no siblings because my parents, after seeing me, didn’t want to have any more hideous children. My parents are perfect in every way, and to produce a child like me? They believed they were cursed. To look good and to have ugly children. The ultimate conundrum to them. So, my mother got her uterus removed, and I'm sure her sperm donor cot a vasectomy. And that’s just my family.
