The Enchantress' Curse
4/9/2017
It was a dark, cold night of France. The townspeople of a village were snug in their beds as a party went on in a castle ruled by a Prince. His name is Jack Napier, and he was the most spoiled Prince ever born. His parents gave him anything to satisfy his happiness, but it was never enough. As he grew older, he became unkind and never cared about anyone but himself and what he truly desired, mostly he judged people by their looks and actions. But that one night will change his life forever.
The Prince was in his dressing room as one of his servants, Harleen, was applying his make–up for his party, making him look completely irresistible and handsome. "There, you're all set, your highness," Harleen smiled as the Prince stood up from the chair. He was dressed in fancy elegant attire with the make–up to top off. He said nothing as he left, making Harleen wish that he could've said something nice to her, but she knew he didn't care for her. She followed him to the throne room, seeing him dance with the other women in the room as the music played while Selina and Pamela sang along. She stood by the other servants as they stood close to the throne. "Harleen?" a male voice asked. She turned her head to see her friend, Jonathan, looking at her with concern. "Oh, hey John," she said to him. "Is everything alright, Miss Quinn?" Jonathan said, still sounding concern. "You looked disappointed." She nods, her smile falling. "Yeah, I wish the master was nice for once, but sadly…" she said, her sentence ailing to end. "We all know why," Jonathan said. "And I do wish the same as you do."
As the night went on, a terrible snow storm came, and soon a knock at the door was heard. Edward gently opened it and saw an elderly but wise female beggar on the other side, dressed in rags as sprinkles of snow covered it. She carried a rose in one hand and nothing else. "Bonjour mademoiselle," Edward said politely. "Would you like to come in?" The beggar nods and tells him thank you. "I hope the master doesn't mind you staying," he says hopefully as he leads the woman to the throne room. As soon as the two entered, all heads were turned, mostly towards the beggar, as the music and singing stopped. The Prince walked over to Edward, looking stern and angry. "What is she doing here?!" the Prince demanded, pointing at the beggar. "Well sire, she needs shelter. It's a nasty storm outside," Edward said calmly and politely, trying not to stammer while looking at the Prince in the eyes. "No beggar is staying in my castle!" he exclaimed. "She can walk to the village where she belongs!" Most of the audience gasped in shock of the horrid words that came from the Prince's mouth.
"Please sir," the beggar said nicely, stepping close to Edward as she looks at the Prince as he and Edward looked back at her. "All I want is to stay just for this one night and I'll be gone at dawn, just please let me stay, I have nothing else to offer but a rose." Then she holds it out to him. The Prince glared at her as Kirk, one of the many servants, joined at the Prince's side. "Don't listen to her, she's not worth your time taking care of," Kirk said to the Prince in a nasty tone. "She can find her way to the village… unless she's too blind as a bat." There were whispers behind him and the Prince, but eventually, he snatched the rose from her. "Leave!" the Prince said, throwing the flower at the tiled ground. "You're not welcome here, old hag!" Another gasp from the audience as Edward gave the Prince a nasty look. "You should be ashamed of yourself!" Edward said to the Prince. "She's a kind lady and she means no harm, but you reject her because of her looks?! You're a disgrace to me and to her!" Candle light was suddenly blown out as the windows opened, letting in cold air and snow as the room became dark.
"The lad is right," the beggar said, picking up the rose. Soon she was enveloped in bright light as everyone backed away, and soon saw who she truly is; a beautiful Enchantress with golden blonde hair and an emerald green dress. "Your actions forced me to put this upon you; you're nothing but a black–hearted prince who's nothing but a disgrace upon this whole village, even to your loyal servants!" the Enchantress yelled. The Prince started begging for forgiveness, kneeling down at the Enchantress, but she had no second thoughts on accepting it. "Listen to this well and clear," she said, holding out the rose. "This enchanted flower is now your hourglass. If you don't find true love once the last petal falls, you remain a beast forever. But if you do, I shall lift the curse upon you, your subjects and your castle, do you understand?!" the Prince nods and she cursed him into a monster. Then she placed a curse on the castle and every subject but Edward. She turns to him with a smile. "You are a true, kind man," she said as she walked to him. "I must thank you for what you've done."
"You're welcome," he said. "But I wish to stay here and I do not want to leave." This shocked the Enchantress. "Why? You get your freedom from here. That's my gift for you," she said kindly. "But my freedom doesn't replace my friendship with the other servants here," Edward said sadly. "If I leave and never get to see them again, I'll miss them." The Enchantress understood and cursed him as well. Then she leaves with the rose left behind, surrounded in a glass case. She also gives the cursed Prince a handheld mirror, the only way to see the outside world.
With the curse placed, a huge area surrounding the castle becomes an eternal winter. Time frozen still for the only area as the rest of the world goes on. And for the servants and the Prince, all memory of the castle and everyone who lived there was forgotten from their loved ones and from the village. But if the Prince finds true love and earned from another, the spell will be broken… but if not, he is doomed to remain a beast forever. But who would ever love a beast?
