Rina and the Beast



Inspired by the classic tale of Beauty and the Beast
For for those who still believe in fairytales...



Prologue

   She was beautiful. When I saw her enter my mansion that night, I knew right away that she was beautiful, but I sensed that something was wrong about her.
She was... too beautiful.
Her long hair, her pale skin, her long dress, she was just too beautiful, and yet, I couldn't stop looking at her, gaping at her.
"Why, young man. Have you never seen an enchantress before?" her voice sounded like wind through the trees on a spring day.
Hearing her say the word enchantress made my blood run cold. I'd heard tales about enchantresses casting curses on people for misdeeds, and I knew she had come to punish me for mine. I wasn't exactly the nicest guy around.
"Young man, you know why I am here. You have been cruel all your life, and it is time to pay for your crimes. You are as stubborn and cold-hearted as a beast, so you shall now be seen as one. If, within ten years, you fall in love with a woman and she loves you back, you will change back. If not, you will live your life as a beast."
There was a flash of light, and I felt like my body was on fire. Bones shifted around, changing size, fur sprouted all over me, my legs and arms thickened until I stood on all fours. I felt my teeth grow longer until two fangs stuck out slightly, even with my mouth shut.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" I yelled.
'My voice! I sound like an animal!' I thought.
"Young man, I already told you what I have done. You have ten years to break the spell. If not," she shrugged her shoulders coldly, "then you'll stay a beast."
She disappeared suddenly, leaving me to discover how to survive in this new body by myself. I stumbled over my new legs to the window and looked outside, seeing only trees. My mansion was surrounded by a forest, invisible to all around me.
I ran up to my room, tearing it apart, destroying the furniture and posters. If I was an animal, I'd live as one.
'For how will I find a girl who'd love a beast, let alone within ten years? It's hopeless...' I thought with despair.
