This is a story inspired by Beauty and the Beast by Walt Dysney. I got a lot of help from my good friend and I'd like to say thank you to her. This story is dedicated to her. Zaiden is a young, handsome, rich man with his whole life ahead of him. He is perfectly happy living his life, being rude to others and not caring about anyone other than himself. But, it all changes when a fairy comes to his door disguised as an old woman. She asks for shelter and a warm meal but because she had no money, he turned her down. She saw he had no kindness or love in his heart for anyone or anything except himself and money, so, she cursed him. His looks, changed, his house changed, his servants turned to stone. His life was turned upside down because of his mean character. And the only way to be free from the curse, is true love. Emily is just a young, normal girl. She enjoys spending her time in the woods with a good book, or with a notebook and pen surrounded by flowers and butterflies. At times, she dreams of what it would be like to have some one that loves her for her. Some one that she can love. But, sometimes, she shrugs it off as a dream that will never come true. Then one day, she gets found in the woods by a hideous man. He takes her by force and she's made to live in his cabin, not allowed to leave at all. Who is this man that captured her? Will Emily ever be free? Will she figure out who he is and why he wanted her? Will Zaiden ever be free from his curse? How will such a beast ever find love? Will these two people ever find their happily ever after? Find out in The Maiden's Mystery!
