But thought the years the prince became unappreciated of everything. It would be on the prince 13 birthdays when his life would be different. On the evening of his birthday an old lady came to the mansion wanting shelter from the rain. But the prince refused to let her in.

"I don't think so you're a commoner I don't let people like you into my mansion" said the prince as he closed the door.

"Oh please its horrible out I will give you this rose if you let me in" said the old lady showing the prince the rose.

"I told you no now get away from here" said the prince as he tried closing the door again.

But when he closed the door it flew open to revel a beautiful young lady with long chestnut hair and green eyes that sparkled like emeralds with a long red dress on that looked like it was made for a queen standing there. What the prince saw next shocked him.

"Mother I had know idea it was you" said the prince falling to his knees.

"My son I have seen the way you treat people, for your punishment you will be turned into a monster" said his mother.

"No mother please I can change" begged the prince as he hug to his mothers dress like a child.

"I'm sorry my son but until you learn to love another you will remain a monster if you do you will become a prince once again, but if you don't you will remain a monster for the rest of your life" said his mother as she put the curse on her son, the mansion and all who lived there.

His mother was getting ready to head out the door when suddenly she wiped around and told her son

"You have until you are 18 to fined one to love you as you are, here is a magic mirror to show you the outside world but it will not show you the girl that will break the spell if you ask it that question the mirror will shatter into a thousand pieces" said his mother.

"Good luck my son" said his mother as she faded into the dark and rainy night.
