PREVIOUSLY CALLED "BEAUTY'S MELODY" "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." ~Martin Luther King Jr. ~~~~~ In the beginning, there was a boy. A girl. And a beast. For years, legends rumor that there is a beast roaming in the Péige Forest near a northern village in the kingdom. It is merciless, ruthless, and undeniably dangerous to all those who come near. Hundreds of men have attempted to kill it only to never be heard of again. It has been a year since Mira's older brother has been gone after venturing off to kill the beast. And like all the others, everyone suspects he is dead and the pain comes right after when they find out that it is true. Determined to take revenge, her youngest sister goes off on her own into the Péige Forest to avenge her brother. Mira now has no choice but to save her siblings in a hunt that could very well end her life. But when she gets separated from her family for good, nothing seems certain anymore. Not even the strange, kind man, who never reveals his identity, she met along the way. He promises to help her find her siblings only with the condition that she would not come close to him. That one decision would change life forever, plunging her in a world of light and dark, hatred and love. ~~ A Beauty and the Beast Retelling Edited by flowergirl82 Cover by me Cover picture by Emily Soto (http://goo.gl/tYZhQP)

From the day Braxton Marlow realized his parents would never tell him what his christening curse was, he has plotted to seek out the faery who cursed him, Faery Splendor, and discover for himself what dreadful fate awaits him. However, just as Braxton is about to complete the final leg of the faery's quest, his father calls for him and his two brothers to take on a different journey. The goal is merely to catch a golden bird; it ought to be simple. But after a series of blunders, which really could have been avoided if Braxton's brothers had only listened to the fox accompanying them, the hunt turns into a chase across the lands of five different nobles. Worse still, the children of the Grant family have been kidnapped, and their fates seem somehow intertwined with the Marlows' quest.

I took a breath and quickly wiped a stray tear from my eye, "I'm tired of living in their shadows, waiting for them to finally realize that I still exist. I tell myself to be strong, to ignore the pain that they cause me, but I can't. I love them. I love them and they don't love me." His face softened as he put a hand on my cheek and rubbed away another tear. I gave him a helpless shrug, "When will it be my turn for a happy ending?" ********* Everybody knows the story. Peter Pan flew to the nursery window of Wendy, John, and Michael Darling and took them all to Neverland where they had marvellous adventures filled with flying children, evil pirates, and mischievous mermaids. Most would call it a classic. But there is nothing classic about this tale. Little do story tellers know, there was a fourth Darling child who lived in the nursery. Ophelia Darling was seemingly forgotten when her siblings flew to Neverland, and now she's more alone than ever. Her siblings have shared an experience and made memories that she will never be able to compete with. Ophelia decides that there is nothing more vile in the world than the boy named Peter Pan, who stole her siblings from her. Join Ophelia Darling as she fights her way back into her siblings lives, and somewhere in the process, discovers that life is nothing like the way stories say it is. It's much more complicated.

• a modern retelling of the frog king • There are no witches and curses, no princesses and golden balls, no frogs and magical transformations into princes. There's just life and its struggles. But sometimes that's enough. Lives change and it all begins with a rainbow, an iPhone, and being in the right place at the right time. After all, a knight in dented armour is better than no one at all, right? • this is a story I'm writing for a school paper, and I desperately need feedback (especially since English isn't my first language). Therefore, comments and tips and even the negative stuff would be very welcome. Summary might change over time •

Nearly a year ago, Princess Maria Rosalina was informed that her almost fiancée was murdered by a beast, but the worse part was that he had previously married a servant in secret without telling anyone of his marriage. Luckily the engagement wasn't announced, but now her mother's dead and her father married the girl. When the two marry, the Princess discovers a mirror that isn't what it seems, and decides to find some answers from this magic mirror, but will she like what she finds? And will her own secrets remain hidden? Author Note: Sometimes (ok it happens many times) I have grammatical errors. If you see any, please comment and I will fix it as soon as I can. I also welcome any feedback, so please feel free to comment! Also I plan on updating every Sunday, hopefully it'll happen, if not, I apologize in advance... And hopefully you'll enjoy this book!

***FREE STORY***Antoine, his daughters Marthe, Marie and Beauty must leave fashionable Paris for rural Avon, in the shadow of enchanted forêt de Fontainebleau. News from Paris offers the family a glimmer of hope, until Antoine comes face to face with a ferocious Beast... Wattpad Reader Reviews: @nycgal38 I love the beginning! I'm thinking at this point it would make a wonderful bedtime story. It's so beautifully described! @thebeast86 This is so well written. I LOVE your writing style ❤❤❤ @AmandaUrie23 I love how in your version of beauty and the beast, you've given the beauty's sisters more character and made them more realistic as opposed to most accounts where the sisters are just bland and mean. I also like how you've given Belle a backstory. The best part in all of this is the historical accuracy, and the proper use of royal titles. It's my first time reading this and I'm so excited for what's to come! @MellifluousSkies This feels like a brand new story, as I am reading it, even though it is "a tale as old as time". Great story telling...I love the filling out you have done with such a classic tale, adding more background and feelings to really give the story a large presence. Brava! @random__thoughts I'm so glad that I found this! It's amazing and deserves way more attention! @mirabellaspencer I love love love ur book beauty and the beast. The way that u changed the story but yet kept it the same was amazing. @juliadarcy87 Omg Disney skipped the plan to eat her haha. @eldorado16 Love the first line! And impressed by how Beauty seems to bring out the best in everyone - except her sisters. @AmericanBeauty_y I effing love this story! I don't understand why it isn't more popular
