Hello they're my pretty little darlings! ^_^ My real name is classified. You may call me narrator, or N. Why I do not tell you my name? Well then I would have to kill you. I am forced to keep my name secret. I am your storyteller from here on out unless said otherwise. Fairy tales are always about princes and love and all that other crap. Leave now if you want this version of Beauty and the Beast to be as such. I see none of you left. Well how brave you must be. All right then, time to begin.
It was a night of unforgettable terror. Morbid temptations of lust filled the atmosphere. No one dared to venture outside his or her little sanctuaries. For it was nights like this that she wandered about. Who is she? No one knows her true name, for she will never say…if anyone dared to be near her. She is a young creepy girl. One that you are automatically intimidated. You fear for your life as you stand like stone as she passes. No one ever had the guts or power to kill her, and anyone that tried would disappear. She wears a gothic kimono from the darkest parts of Japan…far away from the peaceful little village that they called home. Some say she's a wandering spirit lost and alone. Many say she's a killer. Chinuru (to smear with blood; to kill) ikinonewotomeru (to choke the life out of) are all Japanese words they use to describe her. "She haunts them to death. She possesses and kills you from the inside out." The mothers' tell their curious children. Despite what most thinks, she only wants a place to call home. That's all she ever wanted. She's a witch.
Belle, the youngest of the three children of a merchant, was always teased. Her name meant beauty, but her gothic appearances made many say otherwise. Her sisters' teased her worse than the villagers, but her father loved her the way she was. Her two sisters were snobby and arrogant. Everyone thought they were angels, but only the small family knew the truth. The merchant, whose name is Charles, was very wealthy. While the two sisters spent money on clothes and jewels, young Belle only bought what was necessary for her, dark magic books, and all with her own money she earned from helping at a book shop. Then, one day, Charles's shop was condemned. The health inspector came and just shut it down without any reason. The family was thrown out on the street. Belle managed to get the bookstore owner to keep them in shelter if Belle worked overtime. It worked for awhile until the sisters screwed it up.
After living on the streets for a week, Charles gets news of a new shipment of goods coming into the dock. They were one of the trade ships he sent away. He decides to return to the city to see if any monetary value his goods had. Before he left he asked his daughters' if they wanted anything. The two sisters screamed jewels and dresses, for they thought his wealth had returned. Belle said, "If it wouldn't be a burden father. I would like a red or black rose. No roses have grown here for years and they are my favorite flower." She didn't want to sound whiney or greedy. Charles finds out that his ship cargo had been taken to pay off his debts. He cried silently thinking of how he disappointed his daughters. He heads back home with his head down. After a couple hours he finds himself lost. Seeking shelter from the harsh winds and the night ahead, he stumbles across a decrypted mansion. "It will have to do," he thought. When heading to the house, he fell across a garden of roses…literally.
