Of Night and Day
Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket.
Well, I'm being silly by doing this, but I'm adding a new story to my list. I'm sorry!!! O_O It's just, I really want to write this… So, anyway… Here is a Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella and Fruits Basket crossover for all you lovely people.
Just one little note, and this should be obvious after reading the first chapter, but the year will not be stated, so I thought I should go ahead and point out that this story takes place in an Old-English sort of setting. Not Japan, not present times. I just thought it'd be fun. But the main themes of the story will apply, and I'll do my best to keep the characters in character (I don't usually have a problem with that, though).
Prologue- The Beast in the West Corridor
He was still a beast, he realized as he stared down at the huge claws that used to be very human hands. Every morning, he would wake up, praying that everything was only a dream. He was not truly ostracized, starved and spat at by his own family. He was not really locked up in the west corridor of the castle, far from all the joy of his family members.
On the far east side of the castle slept the prince, who, at first glance, appeared to have no care in the world. He ate well and dressed well. He lived a comfortable life, one would only think.
At least the prince could wake up to smiling faces. The beast woke up to his own hideousness. He could hardly sleep though his hunger at night.
And although the beast had previously heard that a cure for his curse existed, he didn't believe in it for one second. True love- to him, the thought was absurd. The thought of true love only made the curse seem more hopeless.
After all, if you could choose a prince or a beast, would you really desire the beast?
Prologue end
That was short, I know. But I like my prologues to be short, sweet and to the point. I think there's enough there, though. Haha! Anyway, I should be able to work on these stories more, because I finally caught up with the times and bought a flash drive.
Enough talking, though. Please support and review my new story!
