Page 2 of Heir of the Beast

~Though this is a random picking, I know much about you—possibly more than you might even know about yourself. I see you now, reading this missive, with a frown upon your beautiful little face.~

~But rest assured, Viola, I do have your best interest at heart, and that is quite a bit better than what you’re used to.~

~I know you have lived a life of fear with no family, orphaned as a small child. What a poor, poor child you used to be, quite heartbreaking, having to grow up too fast.~

~But you were once a dreamer, full of hope and excitement, seeing the beauty in everything and giving humanity the benefit of the doubt. Indeed, a wonderful girl inside and out.~

~But now you wallow in paranoia. Getting mixed up with the wrong crowd can prove to be devastating to one’s person.~

~Your innocence is leading you down a path of such darkness and despair, I fear. It does sadden me, for being the Fairy Godmother, I do despise such a tragic story.~

~But I have brilliant news, Viola. I, the Fairy Godmother, have an offer that may change your life forever. God knows you need it. You can only go up, dear girl.~

~I am giving you a chance to find a happily-ever-after.~

~On behalf of Fairy Godmother Incorporated, you will be able to compete against four other ladies for an opportunity to win a happily-ever-after.~

~Keep in mind that this offer is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity full of adventure, danger, and the ultimate prize of true love.~

~Love is the secret to life, Viola, and it could be yours. Please take a moment to imagine falling in love with a handsome, dashing prince.~

~I know your first instinct is to throw this letter away, but please do not, dear girl. For Heaven’s sake, this is your only chance at happiness—trust me, I’ve checked.~

~Did I mention that people want you dead? Quite disconcerting.~

~I’m the All-Knowing. Fate is my specialty. Destiny is my hobby. Bloody hell, child, I’m the keeper of the most powerful emotion of all…true love.~

~The choice is yours.~

~This offer will last until tomorrow night when the clock strikes twelve. If accepted, all details and answers to questions will be provided to ensure complete and total understanding.~

~The meeting will take place at the French Quarter past the tall, charming man in white. Please do not be late, or this fantasy will be nothing more than a rotting pumpkin.~

~Upon accepting this offer, you will agree to pay for this experience by handing over half of all your assets, including but not limited to bank accounts, IRA’s/401K’s, jewelry, vehicles, clothes, shoes, electronics, real estate, animals, and animal’s belongings.~

~If failed, all family ties will break, and you will be alone in the world. All competitors will travel to the same kingdom; the choice of kingdom is random by a spinning wheel of destiny.~

~This trip is known to cause vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, dizziness, lightheadedness, drowsiness, uncontrollable tremors, fatigue, and in rare cases, death.~

~Everything about the Fairytale Challenge will rely solely on Fate, and all aspects will be unpredictable and potentially dangerous, even possibly resulting in your demise.~

~Each contestant will have their chance at the spinning wheel, where they will find out what their fate will be for the next three months of the challenge.~

~Whether a contestant spins to be a princess or a pauper, they will have to make the best of it to catch the prince’s eye and heart.~

~Godspeed,~

~Fairy Godmother~

~Fairy Godmother, President & CEO, Fairy Godmother Inc.~

~“Where dreams come true.”~

Do you see what I mean?!

This lady knows bits about my life, and I know for sure that I have told no one of my bad life choices. That was between me, myself, and I, mainly because I have no friends and family that I wish to claim.

Seconds pass as I stare, heart pounding with indecision. The only way this makes a little sense is if this letter invitation is genuine. Which it most definitely is not.
