The Princess and The Beast
Chapter One: The Transformation
Once upon a time, there lived a very handsome prince. Although beautiful on the outside, it did not make him beautiful on the inside. The prince was anything but kind.
He was selfish, rude, uncaring, and conceited. The prince lived in a gorgeous castle and had servants who spoiled him. One day, an old beggar woman came to the castle seeking shelter from the bitter cold with a single daisy as payment.
"What do you want, anciana?" Asked the prince.
"Please sir, may I come in your castle for the night? I promise to leave first thing in the morning. Take this daisy as payment." Said the old beggar. The prince had a good look at the old homely woman with long silver hair. She had the oddest looking eyes he had ever seen. Olive green and mustard yellow. Pale deathly skin. She was just plain ugly. The prince sneered at the old woman and the tacky daisy.
"No, you may not, you viejas bruja!" The prince said.
"Your Highness, do not judge a book by its cover, it might just surprise you…" The old woman warned. But once again, the prince turns her away.
"Didn't I already tell you to leave, fea anciana?" With that, he threw her out. But before he could close the doors the woman's ugliness seemed to melt away. In her place stood a beautiful enchantress. The long gray hair became short and blonde, olive green and mustard yellow eyes turned into a lovely jade, sickly pale skin became perfectly tanned.
"Your Highness, I tried to warn you of appearances but you didn't listen. For that you and your servants who spoil you rotten shall be punished. The monster you are on the inside shall take your appearance." She said. "Your servants will be household objects. You have no love or kindness in your heart. You may be handsome on the outside, but where it counts you are as ugly and petty as they come. And I will change that."
"No! Por favor… forgive me almighty enchantress, I didn't know! Please, give me another chance!" The prince begged.
"I am sorry. But you only had one chance, and you judged me based solely on appearance." The enchantress said. "The daisy I presented you with is enchanted. It shall bloom till your twenty-first year. You have until the last petal falls to find some one who will look past your ugliness and love you. Since you are under my spell I might as well ask for your name."
"It's Antonio, you witch!" The prince spat.
"Now now, I'd watch your tongue if I were you, Antonio. I can do far more than this. I can make you blind if I so choose. Well I will take my leave now. Good luck finding someone to break the spell."
The now cursed Prince Antonio fell into a depression.
For who could ever learn to love a beast…?

Well, I got this idea and why not do something different? So I made this. If you guys want to give me ideas they are quite welcome.
So, who do you guys think should be Cogsworth (the clock) and Lumiere (the candle)? I was thinking Gilbert and Roderich. Send me a PM to tell me your ideas. By the way, Lovi won't be named Lovina. It will be Princess Katirina Romana Lovina Chiara Vargas. Sorry if I spelt the names wrong, I don't know how to spell them.
