A/N: Welcome to my first fanfic on this new account. I decided to go ahead and publish this finally, even though it took a few days to write and re-edit and all. Fairy Tales have always been my absolute favorite, so I decided to do this. College is finally over for me and I'm free! I loved Disney Movies ever since I was young, and this is going to be more of a Mortal Instruments Twist on the on Disney/Original Version.

Disclaimer: I Do Not Own The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare or Beauty and The Beast. I do own my OC Selene.

Prologue

Once upon a time, in a very far away land called Idris, was a young prince by the name of Jace Herondale, he lived in a beautiful shining castle with his adopted siblings Alec, Isabelle,Selene, and Max. Although the prince had nearly almost everything his heart wanted and desired, he was spoiled, selfish, rotten, self-centered, and unkind.

Alec, Isabelle, Sel, and Max were not like their brother, they were kind-hearted and gentle. But then, one cold, stormy winter's night, an old beggar woman arrived on the castle ground's. A snowstorm had been due for weeks to hit Idris, and it was coming down faster than the people excepted.

Knocking on the castle's large door, she waited patiently for an answer. A few minutes later, it slowly opened to reveal a tall, young and handsome young man standing in the doorway. He asked her what she was doing there, and she explained to him that she'd lost her way and needed a place to rest for the night. In return for shelter from the bitter, nasty cold as payment, she offered him a beautiful red rose.

Repulsed by her ugly, haggard appearance, Jace sneered at her gift and turned the old crone away, telling her to leave immediately. But she warned him, not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty was found within everything. And after he dismissed her once again, the old woman's ugliness suddenly melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress.

Jace, realizing his mistake, immediately fell to his knee's and tried to apologize, begging for her forgiveness. But it was far too late, for the enchantress had clearly seen there was no love, pity, or compassion in his heart. As a punishment, she transformed him into hideous, beastly monster, mostly to reflect the coldness, bitterness, and hatred that his heart was full of, and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there.

Ashamed and repulsed of his monstrous appearance, Jace concealed himself inside of his parents' castle, with a magic mirror which was his only window to the outside world, and a black leather cloak to disguise the ugliness beastiness which now inhabited his face, body, and soul.

The rose, which the enchantress had offered was truly a magical, enchanted rose, which would bloom until the year he turned twenty-one. If he could learn to love another person, and earn their love in return by the time the very last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain the beastly monster for all time. As in forever.

As the years, passed, Jace fell into complete despair, and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast?
