"Whooa.....,what are you doing with this mask?,your handsome huh...I guest much good looking than me..."Yes it is true that Ethan was really good looking person,that's why he can made all the girls fell in-love with him easily,when her girlfriend Myrna saw him with other girl, because of that coincident Myrna was the one who give the mask to him and put it on his face then said"Never remove that mask, especially for the girl's,if any man saw your face it's okay nothing will happen,but..,if you let a lady saw it you will turn into a monstrous ugly beast!!!!!!!"-that's the story why he keep's on wearing the mask."What is your problem?, ahhmmm...is there any magical thing's regarding this mask?"the prince wear it."say goodbye to your lovely lady...,and say hello to the new you..."Prince Wolfer give him an evil smile.

The soldier's bring Ethan into a small dark room.

"Goodnight Smyr,shall we meet again?" "Of-course,I will" When she get inside-her sister hurriedly asked"What happen?,hey!share something." " Amm..he's nice,he always keep me safe and he was such a gentlemen....." Prince Wolfer sat on his favorite chair and keep thinking about the mask,he doesn't have any idea why Ethan need's to wear it." Where is he?,I want to talk to him.." the soldiers bring their master to Ethan." Wolfer take a sit.,and watch the poor Ethan.He look at the prince with his sorrow face and silently said"Did you meet her?" "Yes..,definitely""can you tell me some of what she say to you?"She said every time she was reading a letter she felt like there's an angel guiding her,but I did n;t came here to talk about that,tell me what is your name?" "Ethan" "no,your real name.." "I can only say Ethan..." "Why!!! you had so many secret's!" "It's simply because I'm only living because of those secrets" "How about this mask?what is the reason you need to hide ?" "sorry,it's hard to explain,you will never understand.." "I guest I knew already..you are nothing but just crazy! yes you are insane.." The Prince and lady Smyr often meet each other,until one day he asked Ethan to write." Why I need to write a letter,both of you already seeing each other?" "She's missing your letter...,it must be continues" "I'm gonna write for you? to make her deeply fall in love with you?hah..never!" "Fine..,you don't want? I think it's better if I just kill you,right?" "yes.....much better there's no reason for me to live" "oh,your making thing's hard,mmm,how about if I am going to kill the one you loved?" "you cannot do that.." "no,it was so easy,she's just a girl" Ethan had no choice so what he did is write,for the sake of his Smyr" It almost a month,Ethan is writing a letter for Prince Wolfer. Everyday he's crying he write's two letter's -one is for Prince and another one that contain's all his sacrifices in the hand of the Prince..then he will kept it..One day,Smyr tried to read once again the letter's she receive to Ethan.She saw a letter tell's about a necklace it state's that-he will gonna show it to Smyr,if the day come's they see each other.She was thinking why Ethan didn't let her to see it until now"maybe he just forget it.."She decided to mention it to Ethan(Prince Wolfer)."Ah...the necklace!?oh..of-course I remember that." "where is it?,you said you're gonna show it to me" "ammmhhhh...-yah, wait I knew it was here." Prince Wolfer tried to find inside his pocket."sorry,I forgot I put it under my pillow,maybe next time okay?" Smyr smiled,but she was worried to the guy's expression,she felt something strange.She tell's it to her sister when she got home."So your saying that your not sure if he's your real admirer,is that what you're trying to say?huh....?"Aaa-I don't know,I'm confused..." "the best thing you can do is asked him to write for you,on the spot personally observe his hand written,his style and how he wave the words." "great! nice idea,thank's sis" "what if he cant write,what will you do" "I hope his the one...."-she said silently. "Where is the necklace?!!!!,I need it" Ethan stock at the moment...- "What?,a necklace ?""yes you said you re gonna show it to Smyr" "I've lost it" "impossible..."Prince Wolfer command his soldier to find the necklace."If necessary take off his clothes!!!!!" The soldiers made their effort but they didn't found it. "I'll guest he's just hide it.maybe it need's a thing that will make him a very good and nice puppy " "What is that thing my Prince?" "Torture......" So they tie Ethan,punch and punch until it burst a blood,they kick him,they do not let him eat,they almost tried to kill Ethan.No mercy......all parts of his body being sliced by a sword,they breaks his fingers. When the evils left he stocked his eyes at the pen,crying "why....all this things happening to me,I already pay all my sin's what's more?,what's more......I'm already dead,ever since that day.."then...his eyes slowly closed.... Ethan was sleeping until he heard a crying lady.-"Please ..!let me go!,keep your hands away from me."It was a lady who disguise into a soldier to rescue Ethan.He hurriedly wear his clothes and cover his face.Then the soldiers put the girl inside the room too."Go be with him! you come to rescue him,fine better to see you both..,"dead!" "Master!!!!it's glad to see you alive" "master?,who are you?" "did you remember Mrs. Ana?" "Hmm,yah my mama Ana? she's the one who took's care of me." "I'm her daughter,Anie,She's been worrying since you left,before she die she asked me to find you"There was a tears run down from Ethan..after he heard the lady'said to him."you must not came here,your just a girl how would you rescue me from a monster Prince like Wolfer" They been together almost half of the day,until evening,because of weakness Ethan remain sleep..Anie was wondering also why he need's to cover his face.She tried to remove the cover and she was surprise when she saw Ethan handsome image.Ethan awake and see her,he sat down and cover his face again."What did you do?" He's heart pumps so terrible suddenly he begin to change..he's hand,feet nails,his hair,he touch his face and he feel that it's changing..the most terrible time that Ethan never want to come had came...-he turned into a wild monstrous Beast. Anie was so scared ,her whole body was shaking.The guard came-he saw Ethan he lay his knee and backward crawling"Monster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"The Beast go angry he use his strength,he destroyed the gate an he escape..the soldier'a tried to fetch him,but they all failed.

They have no match to a Beast.Ethan went back to his house at the forest while Anie saw the secret letter's she keep it and grab the opportunity to escape.Prince Wolfer together with Smyr was having a walk at the forests when the soldier came and news-"He escape!!!!!!the lady too..!!"-said the soldier catching his breath."What!!!shi---,how???!" "Who escape?"-Smyr asked."Nothing,dont think about it okay?ahmm,sorry but I need to fix a small problem,see you later."Prince run and shout to Smyr "I love you!!!!!"Smyr tried to response but she felt different.,so she just continue to walk and think of what happen."Damn soldier's!!!all of you was useless!" "but prince we cannot fight him,he turned into a Beast!","a beast?ha-how?" "We don't know I'll just leave him with the lady.then when I came to look for them I already saw a beast"The prince think deeply'I guest I have an idea why he need's to wear this mask, every time that there is a man who saw his face,it's alright but if it was a lady-he will turn into a Beast"the soldier's agree."I need the necklace,and I need him","But how? it's too difficult" "I don't care use your head!!!!!!!!,if we didn't caught him,he can came back and kill us.." Because lady Smyr enjoy the atmosphere of the surroundings she lately notice that it's getting dark already,she heard some noise ,it's like someone's watching for her she tried to sense what's going around until she saw a man wearing a black hood,then it run's away,"Hey!!wait who are you?!"Smyr try to run after him but it was so fast.He hide at the cave he's been so tired...there was a soldier found him'Aha,there you are!" They throw their sword straight to his feet so that he cant be able to walk.the beast got hurt he get mad,he get the sword and throw it back to the soldiers and run...he came to his house very exhausted and he felt so weak.He get the pen and a sheet of paper,with his hand filled with blood..he write.. My lady....I'll guest it was the last letter I can write for you.I'm sorry If I didn't let you saw the real me, things-became much worst this time.My life will be no longer but I wish when I die you came here and touch my hand...then you will see a thing that will serve as a key for you to know,who exactly I am......
