Beauty And The Beast retelling. This is my own retelling of beauty and the beast, I love the movie and books so I had to write my own. Arabella was a simple girl living a simple life in a simple village in The Kingdom Of Adrielith. She never expected for her loving, but coward of a father to sell his daughter in exchange for debt. Lease of all being sold to King Ethan. Ethan takes this as a chance to break the curse put on him many years ago by a beautiful enchantress, Carmen. To break the curse he must fall in love, true and loyal love. He turns into a hideous beast every full moon and has been for 100 years. Will Arabella be the one to break the curse? Or will she be to scared and run from the beast. For who could ever learn to love a beast? Especially one who hides behind a crown.
