Chapter One
The Curse
Once upon a time many years ago, a young prince was cursed by a witch of immense beauty. She cast a spell the spell on the prince because of his unkindness and hatred. The witch came to him looking as a poor sickly woman asking for food and shelter, but the prince, because of her appearance, sent her away into the snowy storm. She changed into her true form, a beautiful enchantress. The prince begged for forgiveness, but the deed was done. The spell was cast to the prince,
"I cast this spell upon thee until thy wicked heart shows love and compassion to a woman. The woman must also share the feelings to you. You shall be shown by the beast you are by night and man by day. But also be warned, a rose will be given to you, the spell will grow shorter as the petals fall. Soon the spell will keep as a monster night and day."
The spell was cast and the prince lives as the spell goes. If the beast cannot find love by the last petal fallen, then the prince will remain a beast, forever.
