ignore the grammer please i just wrote this 10 minutes ago havent checked it but wanted to know if its a grabber... I have a second and third idea on how to start the story so wanted to get thoughts on this way first.

Beauty and the beast

eye of the beholder

The angery mob of towns people slammed there make shift battering ram over and over into the

porcullis guarding the door. The beast waining in strength, hope and love Lay in his bed listening to

there screams from his partially open window.

"Beauty..." Was all he mumbled weakly. As his heart broke even more knowing she would never return to a mosnter like he. Beast had spent so much time trying to show her he wasnt this thing she sees now, this monsterous form. She was so beautiful so perfect, as he had once been. Love came easy the first sight of her for who could not love a beautiful specimen such as she?

As he laid there lamenting his lost perfect love he heard glass breaking somewhere in the house.

"BEEEEAAST!!!" Someone yelled in tortured rage.

'This is someone like himself someone who is angery. Someone who is beyond angered at a

situation beyond there control yet with the desire to do somehting anything he can about it. Better die by his hand than that of the modd still futily trying to break down the front door.' The beast rose to unsteady legs and trudged out his bedroom down the hall and to the balcony overlooking the entry hall.

Standing below upon the ground floor stood a glorious man. He was everything the beast had once been before the witch cursed him and his Manor. The man below was close to perfect and the beast lightly entertained that had things been diffrent and he was normal this man could have been a friend though a lowly peasant he had the perfection needed to be seen around the Adam while he was out carousing.

The man looked up at the beast Hatred and rage burned in his perfect eyes. Quickly he brought up his crossbow to bear on the Beast. "You evil thing will not take away my betrothed!" He stated taking aim.

"Gaston!... No.." Squeeked a high beautiful voice from the smashed in window.

"Stay out of this belle. This monster, this ugly horrid beast has gone to far and needs to be

slain." Gaston said through clenched teeth.

"Belle its alright.." Is all the Beaast can get out before his head falls in shame. The perfect

man was correct. This beastly monster I had been cursed into becoming needed to be destroyed. This BEAST I am needed to be eneded. He deserves Belle in all her perfection. They made a fine couple and would have fine beautyful children. If only she had seen me before in my days of perfection.

"I will not let you harm him Gaston." Belle almost screamed as she ran across the floor and up

the stairs after entering through the broken glass window.

"No Belle stay away from it! The monster does not desevrve your love or protection!" Gaston

screamed turning to watch belle run up the stairs. Yet also inadvertantly pointing the ready crossbow at her as well.

'In his rage all it would take is one twick and belle would die at this second in front of me'

The beast thought. "Gaston! You are hear to face me! RROOOOAAARRR!!" The beast Lept from the top toward Gaston Using up most of his strength in the roar and the rest in the leap. Having performed this leap many times at full strength he knew he would easily survive the jump but hoped Gaston was as perfect at his aim as he was in his looks.

"ADAM NOOOO!" Belle screamed in horror watching him roar and jump at Gaston.

Taken off guard by the roar and jump Gaston swung the crossbowback toward the beast who was already jumping. This shock made him pull the trigger far to soom the bolt flew into empty victomless space. Gaston was not one to freeze in the face of danger. In fact he lived for these times. Dropping the crossbow he reached for his belt knives is one smooth move.

Gaston and the beast slammed together and rolled across the floor tumbling. There were only a

few real swings and once the rolling stopped so did all movement rfrom both of them.

The bandging from the townfolk had changed tones they were now pounding on the door having made it past the porculous gate. Belle stood in stuned silence for what seemed forever holdigng her breathe.

"adam.... Adam... ADAMMM!!" She screamed over and over lound and louder as she ran toward the crumpled pair. Belle used all her strength rolling the beast onto his back a knife was lodged into his shoulder and a two woulds could be sceen in other areas on his body. "Adammm!" Belle becan to cry then to sob uncontrolable as she lifted the beasts head and partially into her lap. Her first tear hit the prone beast and something magical happened. The beast began to glow with a soft yellow light. The same light that had changed him and his manor was now changi
