(My turn to do a Beauty and the Beast, don't know if this fandom has one like this but hey why not? I saw Beauty and the Beast….ASJHFNHISHNGFPOJHAFIJ! I loved it soooooo much! XD Which is why I'm doing this, cause you know how my mind wonders and creates things. I don't own Beauty and the Beast or Doctor Who!)
Once upon a time, in the constellation of Kasterborous there is a planet called Gallifrey, and on that planet, was a superior race known as the Time Lords. These species of aliens are known for their technology and able to bend time itself. Travel through time as it was, but that's not where are story starts. On this time, it is the Prydonian Chapter. This is how the story all began. The planet Gallifrey is known for its red-orange sky, with silver leaves that shown when the two suns hit them just right, and the red grass where the children would play. The cliffs or the hills are where most Gallifreyans would like to start a family. Each having a household, settle and thrive. The House of Oakdown is one of these houses. The husband and wife of the house were respected Time Lords. The father worked among the politicians and the wife of the Celestial Intervention Agency. The two loomed a child they named Koschei. The boy had blue eyes and smooth, brown hair. He was a bright child who liked to read. He was a wonderful child to have, polite and kind to others. That changed when the boy turned eight.
He was taken unto the untampered schism and gazed into it. He stood there, not out of fear, but interest. 'Look at what you can own,' a dark voice whispered to him. He was enchanted with the idea of owning all that power. He was a changed boy. He started getting interested in other systems and learning how to control the minds of people. Husband and wife were worried about their child, they kept a close eye on him and noticed how he would clutch his head, as if in pain. Then the tapping. TAPTAPTAPTAP. TAPTAPTAPTAP. The heartbeat of a Time Lord. His parents tried everything, but nothing could be done. All they had to do was see if it would disappear in time.
Koschei started acting unfair, selfish, and having dark desires. He demanded things from his parents and always got what he wanted, using his 'delicate' situation as a means to get the things he craved. This went on till the husband was killed, shot during an assassination attempt, the wife dying of broken hearts. Although between them was an arranged marriage, they did love each other very much.
With their passing, Koschei was now the heir to the estate and all who served in it. He was only two hundred and thirty. Young but old enough to have the estate. He inherited all the money and used it for all the most beautiful things and hosted beautiful parties. Filled with the most beautiful people.
One night, he hosted a party for his two hundred and eightieth birthday. He hosted the party in the ball room, it was big enough to fill hundreds of people. He wore the red and gold robes, his face painted with gold eyeshadow and lips painted red. He watched as maidens danced away with men, all colors and sizes danced together at the most fabulous party. He couldn't help but feel lonely. He may seem cold but he did miss his father and mother. He put them out of his mind for now and walked onto the dance floor and twirled anyone who he happened to pass.
He twirled a maiden when all of a sudden mysterious, cloaked figure entered the room. The crowd hurried to one side of the room, trying to get away in case this figure would mean harm to them. Koschei walked forward. He could see from the long hair that shown that it was a woman. She glanced up at him. She was hideous. She had scars and her eyes had bags and her eyes were a dull color. He merely looked at her, "What is it you want, old woman?"
She looked into his eyes and pleaded, "Please, I just need shelter from the horrible wind. May I please stay, just until this has passed." She reached into her cloak and produced a beautiful, silver rose. It's had a faint glow when the lights hit its petals. He blinked. "I offer this rose, not just any rose, an enchanted rose for shelter." He glanced at the company he was keeping. He looked back at her.
He laughed. Grabbing the rose he looked at the woman, "What sort of gift is this? What use do I have for a rose?" He threw it to the ground in front of the woman. She stared at the rose.
Koschei kept laughing, the crowd falling soon after, trying to be brave when in fact the woman terrified them. She grabbed the rose, a glowing light erupted from the hood that she pulled over her head. The laughter died down, then the screaming began. Koschei's eyes widen when the haggard appearance of the hideous woman turned into a beautiful enchantress.
As she hovered above the ground, Koschei became frightened. He got down on his knees, clasping his hands together, "Please, I'm sorry for treating you horribly. I didn't mean any of it." He prayed she would forgive him.
"I have looked into your hearts and see no love or kindness. You are a dark soul and you will be punished." She held out her hand and Koschei began to feel strange. His hair started growing at a rapid pace, he grew fangs, claws and horns. He fell to his knees, looking at his reflection in the floor, he let out a roar of terror. The crowd ran. Leaving Koschei to his fate, even the servants weren't spared. For everyone in the estate was cursed.
The Oakdown estate was forgotten by the world and all who lived there was erased from the minds of the Time Lords. For the rose she gave him was truly an enchanted rose. If he could learn to fall in love with another and earn their love in return, by the time the last petal fell, then the spell will be broken. If not, he would be doomed remain a Beast for all time. As the years passed, he grew into despair and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast?
(I hope you really love this! I know I have several other stories to finish, but this was in my head and I like writing stuff like this! Please review!)
