Issy felt like a string had broken,and something had snapped.She felt like something had disappeared or been torn away.She didnt like that feeling.She didnt like the cold,and she felt cold.It was as if all the warmth had gone,and her happiness had somehow fanished.She didnt know what she'd done,or said.She new she shouldnt have said anything in the first place.She knew she shouldnt have wanted to talk to him,or wanted to know him.She was letting herself slip,and she was hurting.

Issy sniffed a little and rubbed her eyes.Why was she even crying.She knew why she was crying.Because she'd tried to befriend the beast,and the beauty gotten shouted at and pushed away.She had been pushed away from any part of him.Her thoughts made new tears stream.She heard his voice.Softly,gentle.His voice in all the silence."I tried.."she whispered,her voice breaking.
