Beauty and the Bird
A Beauty and the Beast retelling: Once Upon a Time... there was a cursed forest where animals who could live forever existed. The animals lived in harmony with one another and away from the prying eyes of humans. However, this immortality had an unimaginable price: if the animals were ever to be killed and die, they would turn into the worst possible thing imaginable... a human. As far as they know, no animal has been killed, until now. "The beautiful red bird soared through the ocean blue sky and perched on the top tree branch. There it sang the most beautiful tune. As he starred at the bird, he noticed how the feathers shined in the sunlight. The bird had a bright red body but the top of it's head was dark black. As he put his gun down he heard a shot and quickly looked up. The bird fell from the tree. It had been killed."Lengkap

The Rose of Anthacena
A futuristic retelling of Beauty and the Beast. (But the futuristic part is relatively non-existent.) Violet O'Reilly is a girl from Ireland who--with her father, step-mother, brother, and step-sister--leads a happy, comfortable life. But after her merchant father's fortune changes, so do their lives. When her father becomes a thief, Violet must travel to the Beast's mansion in order to pay for his crime. Note--I wrote this a couple years ago, which means it's not great. It also has yet to be revised at ALL. I know certain parts don't make sense or are really stupid, but I just haven't gotten around to fixing them yet.Lengkap
