Ella's always been a simple child. She didn't want anything other than a book in her hands and her brother by her side. When her brother finally figures out his invention and ventures out to find someone to buy it, he doesn't return. A creepy mansion, some talking furniture and, oh yeah, a giant animal big enough to kill her with one big step. What's the worst that could happen? This is a retelling of the fairytale Beauty and the Beast.

Allura means beauty. Though she is trapped in her father's service, she learns to be free in her imagination, in her singing and books. When her father is held hostage by a strange red-eyed beast and sells Allura for his own freedom, Allura faces the choice to rescue him or to take her chance for liberation. She chooses the path of love and is given a magic blessing in the form of a rose to take with her. What will she find? Her death? Or perhaps true love?

Author Note: This story was written because of a task I recently took on to re-write a favourite fairy tale. I chose this one because my Mother used to tell it to me all the time as a child without a book to read from. I loved it and it makes me remember her with happy memories even though she has now joined the mysterious after-life.

He who breaks, must repair. Or spend eternal life in despair. No love, no place, No human face Canines, claws and red eyes. There is no time, for goodbyes. He will hunt, he will howl. Listen out for his growl. Only one cure for the curse. Perhaps she will only make it worse. Her love and kindness. Will shake the blindness. Treasure, love and protect. Hold no ounce of regret. Under the full moon, his time will come. Then you need to be the one. -------------------- This is a short novella, so I apologise if you feel it is rushed at any point. This is inspired by Beauty and the Beast, so you will see some similarities. © All Rights Reserved. 2020 to pandaeyes90

https://www.instagram.com/kim_berly024?igsh=a3FzNnI5NDE1Zm4y #Unedited This is my own short remake of 'Beauty and the Beast'. The names, setting and plot twist will be slightly different but I still hope you guys give it a chance. Only Belle's name will remain unchanged. ** Belle is the youngest daughter of seven children. Her father is a well known detective in the state of New Jersey. When he is being called to Seattle for a 'killer beast in the woods', the family packed and made their way there. Her whole family didn't like the idea of moving to a new place, except Belle that was more than excited and eager to meet the legendary beast. A/N: Since this story will be short, I'll publish all the chapters at once and mark it as complete. I really hope you guys like it. Imp. The kingdom Angride is not real. It's just a fictional name from my mind.
