The Beauty that I love...

A Short Story written for the Beauty and the Beast promotion About how words can bring us together, the sheer joy and fascination of words can draw us to each other and how people can become alive with excitement of creating and reading words.

Belinda and her mother live in poverty. Their only hope of escape is if Belinda can use her natural beauty to make the prince fall in love with her, but when Belinda meets him, she finds she can't help but be honest with him. She assumes that once he knows the truth, he will throw her out of the palace- or worse. But it turns out the prince has a secret of his own... This is a twist on the traditional Beauty and the Beast tale, written for @BeautyandtheBeastUK 's short story competition. It's about the lengths we'll go to for the ones we love, and the power of inner beauty.

Beauty. It is never skin deep. We know that we have to look further than that. What we do not know is sometimes we need to look even deeper, past the skin and into the shadows of the darkest parts of our hearts to find it. After all, we are all born beautiful; some of us just lock up our beauty in the deepest, blackest part of our souls.
