An Untraditional Fairy Tale

Our story was one filled with heartache.

But overpowered by love.

It wasn't a traditional happy ever after.

But it was one I wanted to be part of. . .

Charles 
The first second I saw her, I felt feelings for her that I didn't know existed.
She was born to be mine. She was
everything. . . the bright stars that lit up my darkness. The angel that would save me from hell. She wanted a fairy tale but I wasn't born to be Prince Charming. All I could offer was a horror story. I just had no idea how horrible a story it would be. . .
She was stolen from me by monsters from my past, they dimmed the bright lights in her soul, but I'd walked in the darkness for years, I knew where to find her. I knew I'd revive her. And knew I'd end her pain when I ended the lives of those who caused it.

I'd happily play the villain in this story, as long as I wasn't hers.

Pepper 

I fell in love with him before I ever saw his perfect face. He was raised through hate but he taught me what love was. But then I was taken from him and hurt in ways worse than I'd imagined possible. They broke my skin, my bones, my mind, I should have died but my God saved me. . . he was the sun behind my dark clouds, giving me the power to survive the unsurvivable. He was my justice. He was their karma. He was my king.

He was my reason. My happy ending.

He didn't think he could be the hero in my story. . . He was wrong.
