based off of a book i got called 'the darkest part of the forest' by holly black. which is so good.

the horned prince was legendary in the small town of fairfold. rumors spread all across town about how he got there, but none knew the truth.

his dark brown hair was a mess, but it suited him. he had a red streak in his hair and he had an amazing sharp jawline that made the girls soak with one look at him. but there's was one thing that was off about him.

he was put in an enchanted sleep and then was put in a glass coffin.

y/n and her best friend, jolene, wanted nothing more than to get the horned prince out of the glass coffin. they, like everyone else in fairfold, would gently touch the glass coffin and tell him stories about how they would free him. but all he had to do was wake up.

it was a calm morning when y/n went to school. but when she entered school, chaos drowned it out. she went straight to her locker and looked around for jolene. she came up behind y/n with an excited face.

"you won't believe what happened, y/n! holy s.hit!" she yelled.

"what happened? the whole school is going crazy," y/n chuckled while pulling out your books from your locker.

"the prince. he's awake," she said. y/n instantly dropped her books and it made a loud slam that caused everyone to go silent.  y/n's mouth went clack as she stared at jolene.

this had to be some kind of joke.

"let's go look for him."

y/n checked the time on her iphone as she stood outside of the glass coffin. it was almost midnight and there was no sign of the horned prince anywhere. her and jolene we're searching for hours, but y/n was not going to give up. she felt like it was almost a duty to find him.

feeling exhausted, she turned and bumped into someone and fell on her butt. she looked up in fear and saw beauty staring back at her. the horned prince was standing before her, staring at her as he reached out his hand to help her up. he looked even more beautiful in person.

y/n was at a loss for words. the boy that she dreamt of since she was a kid was finally awake and standing in front of her.

"uh, im y/n-"

"i know. y/n y/l/n, daughter of (your parents names) , and sister of (brothers name. if you have any). i know exactly who you are, y/n," his deep husky voice sounded worn out, like he had just lost his voice. but she strangely liked it.

she looked dumbfounded. "but h-how?"

he smiled. "because i need you. i need your help."

"what makes you think i'll help you?"

"because of this," he grabs her hand and pulls her in to make their lips collide in a kiss.
