A long time ago, there was a prince who was cursed for being vein..

The curse changed him into a horrid beast, fur covered his body, he was much much larger than a normal man, and he had horns that grew in above his ears. His servants were cursed as well, they could never leave the castle grounds.

This curse can only be broken when the beast falls in love, and someone falls in love with him. But it cannot be one of the servants, the curse made sure of that. They must serve him until the end of time if the curse is never broken, but they could never love him.

There was a young man in a village, he was beautiful but not fully aware of it. He knew he was good looking, but he never thought anything of it because he was too busy keeping up with his own business and helping his father out around the house.

"Son, I need you to run down to the bakery and get us some rolls for dinner." His father told him, he had his face buried in a book so he hadn't really paid much attention to what was being said. "Tobias, are you listening to me?" He asked.

"Yes, Papa. I was just finishing this sentence" the young man rolled his eyes and sat his hardcover book down. He stood up from the chair and grabbed the basket he'd need to carry them back "I'll be back in a little while" he said briefly and walked out of the door.

It was a beautiful day out, the weather was warm and the breeze was refreshing. He couldn't help but enjoy the fresh air, followed by the smiling faces of the other people in the village. "Good morning, lovely day isn't it?" One of the older ladies asked.

"Oh it's beautiful, I'm glad I didn't decide to stay indoors today. I'd have missed out on such a beautiful day" Tobias said with a cheerful tone, although a lot of people called him Beauty. It was mostly because of his beautiful personality, and sometimes his feminine quality.

His two toned eyes continued to follow the path he had to walk down the small town, his slender fingers were gripping at the basket while he just let the wind blow through his black hair. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, not expecting anyone to walk out in front of him until his face hit someone's back.

"Hey, watch it!" Simon said, he quickly turned around to see the beautiful young man holding onto his nose that just got bumped by his back. "Oh.. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you" he said, mesmerized by the other males beautiful face. It brought a smile to his face almost instantly to see him.

"It's fine, I should've been watching where I was going" Tobias said, his hand moving up to fix the small strand of hair that fell in his eyes. He didn't want to chit chat so he quickly moved aside and began to move again.

"Who on earth was that beautiful creature?" Simon asked his companion as he watched him walk away, his eyes wandering over the small males slender form as he began to walk down the path.

Henke rolled his eyes, he had obviously had a thing for Simon since day one but it wasn't obvious to him. "That would be Tobias, most people call him Beauty because.. well" he rolled his eyes again and brought his hand to Simon's shoulder "you shouldn't be worried about him, you have a lot more things to do than chasing down someone who isn't even in your league." He said, in an attempt to persuade him to forget about the beautiful young male.

"He's gorgeous, wait here" Simon said, completely ignoring his companion so he could jog down the road and catch up to Tobias. "Let me walk with you, someone so beautiful should never have to walk alone" he said, trying his hardest to sound as suave as he could.

"I.. really don't know what to say to that, you can walk with me if you would like to. I'm just going to the bakery to pick up some things for my father" Tobias explained, although he hadn't really needed someone to accompany him, he didn't want to be rude.
