This story is mostly based of The Hunchback of Notre Dame but it will have influences of other fairytales too. Last week I had a nostalgia attack and decided to download all my childhood movies especially the ones that were on tape I figured a way to adapt the story to modern days. By the way who should be the goat? I'm thinking of Sweets to play that one.
I read adaptations of Cinderella and Beauty and Beast but I never found one for this which may very well be the least fairy-taley Disney movie ever (Frollo telling Esmeralda he'll save her life if she becomes his sex toy is priceless).
I'll stop the rambling now. Enjoy.
Once upon a time… oh my god I sound so corny. Moving on, not that long ago or maybe a long time ago if you consider 20 years an eternity; there was this bitch named Hannah. Hannah was a crooked cop whose only job was to arrest the ones who committed any crime, basically the job of any law enforcement professional. However if they were willing to pay a generous amount of cash she would let them walk away. Her idol was the step-mother from Snowhite and she too, aspired to be the most beautiful woman in D.C accusing any woman prettier than her of a crime they didn't commit and ending up in the chair.
One unfortunate night she and the other cops finally caught the Keenan's. They successfully arrested the man but the woman ran away with a two-year old child. By the J. Edgar Hoover F.B.I Building Hannah pushed the woman down the stairs at 3Am. Her death was instantaneous like the child's cry.
Hannah walked down to where the little girl was crying over her mother's lifeless body to make sure Ruth Keenan was gone, she looked the child in the eye and pulled her gun pointing it to the little girl's head.
"Burley don't!" Hank Booth yelled from the behind.
Hannah looked back to see the not so young man beg "Shut up Hank! There's no way that she is wobbling out of these steps alive!"
"What did she do? She's a person for god's sake!"
"Well I'm not letting her get to her teen years with Miss America looks that will make me look like Jack Skelington!"
"You'll probably be in you 4th marriage by then, why do you care?"
"I don't want my hypothetical husband cheating on me with her."
"Grow up Hannah she's a toddler!"
"What do I need her for?"
"I'll raise her and then she can become your file organizer. You've been rambling about how you need one for months."
"Where will she live?"
" She'll live with me and my grandsons until she's 10 and then I'll move her to the dome room at the top of the Jeffersonian and check up on her every day, and bring her food. No man besides me will see her."
Hannah walked to the baby and saw the necklace with the name Joy.
"Okay 'Joy', from now you'll be Temperance since I'll make sure you'll never know what your name means." she pulled the necklace from her neck and threw it to a reflecting pool nearby.
Hank picked the girl up and tried to calm her. The poor baby had her world upside down and had just become an orphan. If it hadn't been for Hank she'd be dead too. Her unique shade of blue that colored her irises was a color Hank had never seen before, her lips red like a rose, the pale skin, and the delicate features of a porcelain doll… Hannah could very well wish to keep her in a dome for her whole life sorting paperwork but any guy would hit the Jackpot if he could ever find a girl a 1/10 as beautiful. Hannah wasn't bad looking, but Joy/Temperance would win any day of the week.
"Temperance." He said out loud. "It's kind of pretty. Let's face it hun that bleach blonde tramp could have picked out worse."
Is it a nice beginning? Should Sweets become the goat? Next chapter I reveal who's playing the gargoyles. Please Review :)
