What?? Me? Sharing a snippet without being tagged? Say it isn't so! 😂 I wrote the first part of my beauty and the beast au for @onceuponatimeficfest yesterday and I am getting so excited about it! Of course it's only the first draft so it is subject to change.
Until the doors swung open and revealed an old man. He coughed loudly, catching the attention of Lou and most of the people in the room
"Please," he coughed. He was wearing a thin cloak and his face was dirty. "Please, can I stay the night here? It's so cold and I promise I'll be gone before the sun rises in the morning," the man pleaded, visibly shivering.
Lou scoffed. "You think we as royals want to be associated with the likes of you? You are dreaming. Go and run along now you old troll."
The man pulled out a single red rose from under his cloak and fell to his knees, offering it to Lou. " I know it's not much of a payment, but it's all I have to give."
Lou laughed in his face. "No. Get out of my castle."
There was chatter around the room still but at the Princess's cold demand, it went silent. Everyone turned to the King and Queen sat in their thrones at the back of the room, wondering if they were going to reign in their daughter.
Neither of them said a word.
A moment of silence passed before the old man finally turned to walk out
"You should not have turned me away, little girl," he said.
Before Louise could respond to that, they all had to shield their eyes to the brightest light anyone had seen. Right where the old man had been, dirty and cold, now stood a handsome prince-worthy man before them. He had stunning brown eyes and brunette hair, a jawline to cut glass and cheekbones to match.
"Who are you?" Someone asked from the crowd of people.
"I was called upon by your parents, Princess Louise. You have failed the test. From now on, you will live as ugly in appearance as your personality. Until you learn to love yourself and another loves you as well."
The man raised his hand and recited a spell, the bright light returning but this time for Louise. Where Lou was once a beautiful princess with brunette hair flowing past her shoulders, she was now a hideous beast. Brown fur all over her body, fangs and paws with claws.
The only thing kept the same, the only part of her that was beautiful, were her blue eyes.
