Hello-
Sorry for not updating on my other story. I just really REALLY wanted to do a Beauty and the Beast/Twilight story
The first few chapters will be pretty much exactly like the movie B&B but it will be all different and twilightish after a while. Please read it will get better!
Disclaimer: No, I was not brilliant enough to think of these character of Twilight or the plot of Beauty and the Beast.
Time Period: sometime between 1600-1700
Once upon a time in a far away land, a young prince lived in a ancient but beautiful castle.
He was the younger of his two other brothers. All three were very devious. But as the years went by the two eldest brothers found someone they loved with all their being but as a result, the youngest brother slowly grew very, very alone.
Due to his apparent loneliness his father and mother, the king and queen, doted upon him constantly. The prince became very accustomed to getting what he wanted.
Although gifts, praise and everything his heart desired was given to him, the prince became detestably spoiled, selfish and unkind.
But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single beautiful rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Disgusted by her haggard appearance the prince refused the gift and turned the old woman away, but she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty was found within.
Despite her heeding words, he turned her away again.
Suddenly, the old women's ugliness melted away to revel a beautiful enchantress. Once the prince realized his error, he begged for forgiveness.
The goddess knew better, for she had seen that there was no kindness in his soul, no generosity in his mind, and no love in his heart: As punishment she transformed him into a monster, a beautiful monster, but a monster nonetheless and the enchantress placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there.
The prince fell to the ground shrieking in pain.
While he writhed on the palace floor, she placed the rose at his feet;
"If you can learn to love another with your mind body and soul, and you, my demonic prince, earn her love in return by the time the last petal falls off this rose, the spell will be broken. You have one hundred years, and if you fail to love and be loved in return, you and the members of this castle will remain cursed eternally." bellowed the Divine Angel.
With that she left him thrashing in pain as the fires of the curse consumed him, his family and castle twisting into a cruel fantasy which would soon become their reality, all due to their dear, selfish prince.
After three days the castle became frozen in time: never changing. If a glass was broken, it would appear back where it originally was the next morning. Any food eaten would appear back in the cabinet as soon as the door would close.
With that, the prince's family had to remain with him in the frozen castle, to endure his punishment alongside him.
Once the prince woke he was more beautiful then the goddess herself. But it came with a price, with his beauty came a lust for blood. Any servants who remained in the castle were hunted down by him instantly, and any poor soul that stumbled onto the grounds had no chance of survival.
Ashamed of his monstrous being the Beast concealed himself inside his castle, only leaving to hunt. Consumed in his guilt, the prince often hid away from his family in his room, locked away only accompanied by a single, enchanted rose.
The rose she offered him was truly an enchanted rose which for it continued to bloom until his ninety ninth year as a monster.
As the years past he fell into despair and lost all hope; the prince sunk into a bitter state of misery.
For who could ever learn to love a beast?
