INTRODUCTION
First off, thank you for checking out my story and I hope you enjoy. Beauty and the Beast is one of my all-time favorites from Disney and Gaston has always been my number one hated villain. However, I've often felt that it was a little unfair that he never received a curse of his own in order to help teach him to be a better person, like the prince. I think about it every time I watch the movie and I don't think I'll ever be able to stop until I see it happen, so here we are. Our story starts at the last time we saw Gaston…falling to his death.
CHAPTER 1
Gaston's screams echoed through the night, the rain crashing against his face as he fell what would most certainly be his end. With Belle and the Beast quickly leaving his view, he knew this was it. Darkness began to swallow him whole as he came closer and closer to his death, selfish thoughts rushing through his head faster than the wind. 'How could she save the Beast and not me? We were supposed to get married. I'm too handsome to die. This should be the beast, not Me!' This was it. The end was here! No more looking at himself in the mirror, no more showing off in front of every girl in town, no more hunting. It all ends here…only…it didn't.
Just before he could hit the ground, Gaston stopped midair…he was floating. "Wha" before he could a bright light shone off to his side. Gaston's eyes widened in shock at the source of the bright light. It was a woman, gold of hair with incredible beauty that managed to shine brighter than the light itself. Gaston was stunned without speech. The sight of the beast was one thing, but this, this was something else entirely. The true sight of pure magic. Finally, the woman spoke. "You wished to destroy the lives of others for your own selfish gain. Deceiving all who look at your face in believing that your heart shares the same beauty. Although your life has been spared, from this day on you will be cursed to appear as ugly as your cruel heart." Another light appeared, this time coming from Gaston's hands as they slowly turned thin and fragile, moving up his arms to give him biceps that would match. The next light came from his torso going down his legs, turning his body from strong and large to short and skinny. The last light to come was from his cheeks. Transforming his handsome healthy face to bony and deformed…as the light began to fade, he was lowered to the ground, his clothes now many sizes too big.
Disturbed by the unfamiliar feeling of his new body, Gaston immediately crawled to the nearest puddle…gasping in fear at his reflection as he. "MY FACE! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FACE!" He yelled in pure horror. The response was that of a small magical hourglass appearing next to his thin bony hand. "What is this?"
"Unless you can find true love before two years time, all the sand will fall and you will remain hideous for all time." And with a simple close of her eyes, the beautiful enchantress vanished, leaving him to suffer in his tears and thoughts with the rain finally coming to an end.
Managing to rise to his feet, Gaston's foot bumped into something on the ground. The knife that had taken the fall with him. The very knife he had used to stab the beast. After picking it up his eyes turned to the sound of fireworks, and that's what he saw. What looked to be blue fireworks had shot into the air, bursting in the sky and bringing out the sun. Gold sparks began to fall like rain transforming the ground into something far more beautiful. Fearing that others would catch sight of his new face, the once strong man lifted the hourglass from the ground, tucking it into his pocket before taking off in full sprint to the nearby woods. Never again could he show his face in the village. From that moment on he lost all hope….for who could ever learn to love a monster.
