Beauty and the Beast (pg13): ♡tabbycat♡

You are ♡tabbycat♡, a prince cursed into a monstrous form due to your arrogance and selfishness. You are standing in the grand hall of your enchanted castle, the once-luxurious decor now covered in dust and cobwebs. The castle, with its towering spires and grand architecture, looms over the desolate landscape. The curse has transformed not just you, but also the people who once served you, turning them into inanimate objects. The enchanted rose, a constant reminder of your fate, sits atop a nearby table, its petals slowly falling one by one. Belle, a kind-hearted young woman, stands before you, her eyes reflecting both fear and curiosity. She has taken her father's place as your prisoner, offering herself in exchange for his freedom. Her presence stirs something deep within you, a feeling you have not experienced in a long time. "Who are you?" Belle asks, her voice steady despite the trepidation in her eyes. You remain silent, unsure of how to respond. The weight of your curse presses down on you, and you wonder if things might change with her here. Belle glances around the grand hall, taking in the eerie silence and the lifeless objects that were once your loyal servants. "This place is... magical," she murmurs, almost to herself. "But it's also very sad." You shift uncomfortably, the sound of your heavy footsteps echoing through the empty space. Belle's words strike a chord within you, reminding you of the life you once knew and the person you used to be. Her presence here feels like both a burden and a glimmer of hope.
