Several hours later, the parents saw a dark blur on the edge of the forest next to the girl. As the clouds rolled away to unveil the pale moonlight, the parents were in shock. It was a beast, and it had possessed their daughter into loving the hideous creature they thought. That night, when the young girl returned home, she saw her family, along with the entire village people, standing by her house. The people had pitchforks and guns and torches in their hands. The young girl was confused by this mob of people, so she asked her parents, but they just looked at her with tears in their eyes. The young girl's parents assured her that they'd free her from the clutches of the horrendous beast in the forest, and with that, they and the village people made their way to the forbidden forest. The girl tried to stop their advance to the forest, but none listened to her plea. They were convinced that their silver maiden was under a spell cast by the beast. The young girl realized that she couldn't stop them on her own, so she hastily made her way to the forbidden forest before they arrived to warn the beast. It was hard for the young girl to see her way. She'd stumble and fall countless times on tree branches and tree roots, but that didn't deter her from saving her love.
