Kapitel 1: The Onset

Many fairy tales begin with those magical, famous words that are known by everyone, young and old. We anticipate stories full of wonder, of love and happy endings. Stories that will show that good will prevail and in which evil will never be able to win. These stories always, always accompany us. Conveyed on different ways and with different words. We cherish them as memories that were told to us by our parents, by our heroes and loved ones.

Switch off the lights, crawl under you blanket and remember those words that always take you on a journey. Once Upon a time...

Once upon a time there was this girl, with long, brown hair, curly at tips and eyes as green as the needles of a fir and as deep as the ocean. She was not like those other girls, that fit perfectly well into those standards set by society. Well-behaved and perfect housewifes. No, this girl was ingenious, combative and strong-minded, not one to submit herself to anyone. However, she ain't the only one that determines the course of this story.

How about a boy? No. Better, a beast, once a boy and turned into a gruesome monster by a witch. He thought himself to be too awesome, too great of a person to be in company of "ordinary" people. Now cursed and forgotten by a world, living in a dark and cold castle together with his enchanted servants and underlings. His humanity dwindling with each day passing by until the last petal of the blood red rose will have dropped to the bottom of that glass jar.

How will their world change, when they clash? When vicious wheelings and dealings will scream for blood and death, will love be the force to bring back the light to the dark that constitutes human abysses?

Notes:

This is a rewrite of my story Beauty and the Beast based on Disney's Beauty and the Beast. (Old Account: Kindacute)

I don't own the original idea and I don't own the characters.

I would love to know what you think of this story and I apologize for any mistakes concerning the language. English is not my native tongue and I don't have a BETA-Reader :)

Best Wishes
