"True Heart of the Beast"
by
Hailie USA
Once, there was an ugly ogre, who lived by himself in a swamp. One day, he was riding into the village on a cartwagon, when the wagon suddenly went berserk!!

The ogre got hit on the head, and was knocked unconcious. When he awoke, he found himself lying on the floor of an old rusted cage. Soon later, a knight walked up to him with a message from the Prince.

They message said he was to go and rescue the Princess from the firebreathing dragon's lair.

It was a hard battle, but he rescued the princess after two days of fighting the dragon. She was very grateful, because now the ogre could take her to marry the prince. This broke the ogre's heart, for she did not know this, but he had fallen in love the first moment he saw her.

But she had a dark secret. After sundown, she would turn into an ugly beast. She would tun into a female ogre. She had resented to tell her rescuer this, because she thought it might affend him. I mean, after all, he was an ogre too.

So in the end, she never married the prince, because, the ogres fell in love, and when the male ogre kised her, she became an ogre for life, and to the male ogre, she was still beautiful.
