Chapter 1: The Wrong Name

It was a was a bright and sunny day as a girl in a blue dress and apron emerged from her home, the sunlight casting a golden glow around her brown hair. She was going in to town to return a book she had borrowed from the book shop. Her name is Belle.

When she crossed the small bridge that led into town, people began to stare at her. By now, this was completely normal. People were always staring at her for one reason or another. Whether it was her beauty, her interest in books or more recently, her scars.

She was the latest person of interest of the handsomest man in the village, Gaston. He may have looked appealing to others on the outside, but Belle knew the truth. Gaston was rude and self-centered. To make things worse, Gaston physically abused her to try to get her to give in and marry him. Belle knew he only wanted to marry her because of her beauty, Therefore she refused without a second thought. Her actions were not without consequences. Now, her body would be forever scarred by him.

"Good Morning Belle," The baker said, pulling her out of her thoughts.

"Good Morning," Belle replied.

"Where are you off to?"

"The book shop."

Belle then proceeded to talk about the book she had finished reading, but the baker was too busy yelling at his wife, so she went on her way.

She reached the book shop in no time by riding on the back of a wagon. Belle opened the door to book shop smiling. The book seller was the only person, besides her father who didn't make a fuss about her the marks that covered her body. When Belle felt at her lowest, she felt that she was given the wrong name, for Belle meant beauty,

"Ah, Belle," the shop keep said.

"Good Morning," Belle said cheerfully, "I've come to return the book I borrowed."

"Finished already?" he said, surprised as he took the book from her.

"I couldn't put it down," she said, already scanning the various shelves of books, "Have you gotten anything new?"

"Not since yesterday," The book seller said, chuckling as he put the book away.

"I'll borrow this one," Belle said, handing the book to him.

The bookseller really wasn't all that surprised when he saw the book she had chosen, for she had already read the book twice. Belle then proceeded to explain why she loved that book so much. The bookseller let out a light chuckle and told her that if she loved the book so much, then she could keep it. Belle thanked the bookseller and started on the way back home, reading along the way.

As she neared the bridge that separated her from her home, she ran into the last person she wanted to see, Gaston.

"Hello Belle," he greeted.

Belle was tempted to run, but decided to be polite, "Hello Gaston."

Gaston took the book right from Belle's hands.

"Gaston may I have my book back please?" she asked, reaching for it.

They proceeded to argue about women and books.

"Belle, you should get your head out of those books and pay attention to more important things, like me" he said, flashing a smile at her.

Here we go again, Belle thought, rolling her eyes.

Gaston tried to get her to come with him to somewhere that she didn't really care for. Belle tried to excuse herself as quickly as she possibly could after she retrieved her book, but stopped short when she heard an explosion from behind her.
