Chapter 1: In her eyes

---

'Once upon a time in a faraway land...and 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...and old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose. In return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her repulsive appearance the prince sneered at the gift. And turn the old woman away, but she warns him not to be deceived for Beauty is found within.

But when he dismissed her away, the old woman's ugliness melted away to revile 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 place a powerful spell on the castle...and ALL who lived there.

Ashamed of his monstrous form the beast hid inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she offered was truly an enchanted rose that would bloom until his 21st year, if he could learn to love another and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell will be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time...as the years pass, he fell into despair and lost all hope for who could ever learn to love a beast?'

A lone girl lazing on the couch watched as one of her favorite Disney movies was just lounging with her one of the dogs was sleeping on their bed. While the second one was with her on the couch. She having JUST graduated about two weeks ago from high school. Thinking next month she would find a part-time job. In the meanwhile, she just wanted to spend some quality time with her dogs.

Gazing at the television with the movie moving through its plot. (Y/n) watched as Belle, was heading on her way back from the bookstore to her house. Not before the ignorant thug Gaston blocked her path. It never ceases to amaze (Y/n) how why do guys always think when a woman says no, they think it means yes. But thinking women react at the same way at times when it is a guy.

Madellaine, her female mutt, rose her head watching Gaston not taking a hint. Caused her to growl at him. And Madellaine loves everybody. In this case however, she is willing to start a list of one. (Y/n) pulled herself up petting the mixed mutt's head. Calming her down for that isn't the right place and time. 

  "Yeah...Madellaine I don't like him either...The beast is SOOOO much better than him. Plus, how much gloating about yourself to one person can ANYONE take...?"

It seems Madellaine understood because she snorts at him. When he started laughing at how Belle's father's invention exploded in their house! He and Le Foe were watching her help her crazy father. (Y/n) glanced at the clock for it was 12 o'clock. It was time to give her dogs a snack. (Y/n)'s second dog was a bit older than Madellaine. His was named Eugene a German Shephard. As he stood in front like a tin solider in front of the snack cabinet.

Eugene was the mature male rescued dog. He looked like he would be better off on the farm. For he seemed like he wanted to be alone. Madellaine is the same. She is a rescued like Eugene. Except she was sort of a love bug. No matter who you were. She was a little slightly too friend with males. Eugene on the other hand was just protective. No, he isn't bold enough to bite anyone. Eugene was more of well-guarded breed. He doesn't just lower his guard in front of anyone.

The first time Eugene met (Y/n), and her family was around Christmas time. He was alone scoping out the people. Until he spotted (Y/n), her mom, and her two older sisters. With Madellaine. Maybe there was something different about them, whether they had a scent he found comforting. There isn't a defined answer to that. Eugene just rose with a light wag as (Y/n) kneeled down. As he came over and hugged you. Literally.
