A/N: Just a little three chapter thingy which basically retells the BATB story from the beast's point of view. See if you recognize the first bit and the dialogue .
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. And as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there.
Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his 21st year (I'm going that 21st year means 21st birthday it is the simplest theory to go by). If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast?
Ten years past and the beast became more like the animal. He no longer used his name but was simply the beast. He only dressed in breeches and a dark clock, but he knew in time even them he would disregard in time. He hated any image of what he had become destroyed all the mirrors in the castle expect for the mirror which was given to him by the enchantress. He watched as the village outside the wood continued with life forgetting their once cruel ruler. Then one day, completely out of the blue the beast's world changed…
A man entered the castle unknown to the beast, his servants happy to have someone to serve besides their cruel master joyfully welcomed the man. The beast still selfish inside grow jealous and lashed out at the man throwing him in the dungeons for trespassing. Before he retreated once more to the safety of the west wing.
Time passed, how long the beast didn't know, it could have been he did not know but he saw a horse enter the castle grounds being ridden by a cloaked figure. The rider was by far as most likely some relation to the rider. He watched for a minute as the rider dismounted, the Beast held back a gasp he saw the rider was a woman, he thought for a moment that if he could make her love him he could break this darned cruse.
He watched as she walked through the castle calling "Papa" out. She managed to find her way to the dungeons and to her father. He watched as her father tried to get to leave but she refused to leave, it was then that he pulled them apart scaring the poor girl.
"Who's there? Who are you?" the poor girl was terrified as she asked this question into the dark.
"The master of this castle." He answered in a gruff tone.
"I've come for my father. Please, let him out! Can't you see? He's sick!" She was the strong woman the beast could see it now in the anger of her voice, he would not that slip.
"Then he shouldn't have trespassed here!" he shouted, not shouted roared.
"But he could die! Please, I'll do anything!" the Beast knew even then that she was the not the type of woman to beg, but he couldn't let her see this.
"There's nothing you can do! He's my prisoner." He answered harshly.
"Oh there must be some way I can... wait! Take me instead." She begged he couldn't ignore this it was a chance, his only chance to break this cruse, the rose had already begun to wilt.
"You! You would take his place?" he asked her couldn't believe his eyes this beautiful woman would exchange her life for her father's.
"Belle, no! You don't know what you're doing!" Her father tried to argue but the girl, Belle, the beast now thought didn't listen.
"If I did, would you let him go?" she said with some strength in her words.
"Yes. But you must promise to stay here forever." The Beast added harshly.
"Come into the light." Her question was innocent enough and the Beast did as she said. He watched as her eyes widened as she took in his terrible forum. She gasped out and looked away as to her he was the body of evil himself.
"No, Belle! I won't let you do this!" Her Father tried to protest once more but to no avail. She looked at him once more having made her decision.
"You have my word." She said to his terrible face.
"Done!" He roared grabbing the old man from his cell before leaving the girl, Belle to her fate…
