Don't hate me for this being so long lol! Is not terribly offensive but hopefully twisted enough for your liking - well, bestiality is pretty fucked up right here.
For my two fairytales I chose Little Red Riding Hood and Beauty and the Beast. This is my version - Once Upon A Twisted Time.
I would love to see a rendition of any or all of the three main characters - Red, Belle and the Beast.
Once upon a time there was a handsome young Prince. The Prince loved to sit all day in his royal rose garden and delight in the beautiful blooming roses that were so soft and pure and red in colour that he knew only his true love would too poses such qualities.
There was a beautiful girl in the village who lived with her grandmother just outside the gates to the royal gardens. Her long hair was red as blood, and her skin as pure as rose petals, and she fancied herself to be the Prince’s true love. She would creep between the bars of the garden gates and sit with the Prince, constantly parading her beauty and comparing herself to the blooming roses. But she was vain, and cared for nothing more than the Prince’s riches and power. He rejected her advances, and banished her from his royal garden, claiming that she was not pure of heart, and could never be his true love.
The girl swore her revenge, and the Prince was not aware that the girl’s grandmother was actually an evil old witch. The witch cast a spell on the young Prince, damning him to live out the rest of his days as a hideous beast. Should he ever reveal his true identify he would be cursed forever, but should a maiden with the purest of heart ever admit to loving such a foul creature, he would be released from the curse and allowed to return to his royal form. The girl and the witch laughed at their cruel deed, knowing full well that no one could ever love such a monstrous creature, least of all a fair maiden.
The Prince, transformed beyond any recognition, was called ‘Beast’ and chased from the land by the scared villagers. He was able to escape into the dark and lonely woods, taking with him a single red rose from his beloved garden. He fashioned a home in the depths of a dark cave, and planted the rose in the dank soil, where it bloomed for the Prince, despite not ever seeing the sun.
Many years later, a woodchopper and his daughter moved to the land, she was a beautiful girl, but it was her loving nature and pure heart that was her true virtue. Her father would go to the woods to earn his living chopping trees, and every time he returned, he would bring back a wild rose as a gift for his daughter. A beautiful rose for a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart, he would tell her.
One day he was chopping wood in the forest near his new home and had found he had lost his way. Night fell upon the forest and the woodchopper could still not find his way back home. He came across a deep cave and entered, knowing he needed shelter for the night and would try to find his way again at daybreak. In the middle of the cave a deep red light drew his attention, and in the centre of a large room he saw a rose in full bloom, as red and pure as the heart of his child. He knew he must pick it for her, and he did. As he pulled the rose from the dirt, a monstrous roar filled the cave, and a beast, so foul and hideous lunged from the dark depths.
The beast reared up on its hind legs and towered over the woodcutter. ‘You dare to steal my rose! My red and pure light, my beautiful companion!’ The beast had nothing left in his life except for his solitary rose, and the woodcutter, frightened for his life told the beast how he was picking it as a gift for his daughter, who was his own pure and beautiful companion. The beast was intrigued by the woodcutter’s description of his daughter, and agreed to let him take the rose as a gift to her if would bring her back to be the beast’s companion in exchange.
The woodcutter fearfully agreed, and being a man of his word he found his way home at daybreak and tearfully explained to his daughter the cruel fate he had signed her away to, in exchange for his own selfish life, and the rose. He begged her to not go, that he could not bear to think of her living in a dark cave with a foul creature. But the gifted rose was so beautiful that the girl took pity on her father and told him not to cry, for she would gladly fulfil his promise to the beast and go to be its constant companion.
And so, clutching the rose, she left her father with head held high and a heavy heart.
The beast fell in love with her from the very first sight, for she bloomed so bright from within, and had a heart so pure that the beast had hope once again in his life. He fashioned a soft bed for her from wild petals, and every morning gathered fresh berries and water for her meals. And soon she was not afraid of him. They would sit in the cave and talk of lands filled with roses, and streams and birds, and love. The beast loved her more every day, and the girl fell in love with him in return, but she never dare speak of her love, and so the fallen Prince remained cursed.
One day he could bear it no longer, and confessed his love to her, that she filled his dark ugly life with light and beauty and that if he could not have her as his bride he would fade away into darkness and nothing. The girl was swept away by his fever, and so they lay down together in a night of passion and embrace. The next morning the girl awoke, horrified at what they had done. She could not speak of the love that she felt for the beast, and believed her purity and virtue had been lost. She knew their actions to be as wrong as if she had lay with any other of God’s wild creatures, and so she fled, screaming and crying into the forest, clutching the ever-blooming red rose to her broken heart.
The beast too was heart-broken, and searched the woods for her, howling into the darkness at his loss. He searched without rest for days and days, determined to reveal the truth to his young love, that her purity and light and virtue had not been disgraced. He would tell her the truth, even if it meant he remained cursed as a beast for all days, for he loved her that much. He eventually came across a small house in the wood, and had to rest his weary feet. The house was dark and empty, the hearth was cold. The beast, exhausted, wrapped himself in an old shawl he found on a chair and lay down on the soft bed.
The beast was awaken from his deep sleep, a girl’s voice calling outside the door. In his mind he imagined it to be his lost love come back to him, but the girl entered the cottage and it was not her. This girl had long blood-red hair, and a dark soul. In his weariness he did not recognise her, and under the covers she could not discern his true form. ‘Grandma, what big eyes you have.’ She exclaimed with a frown, the beast replied ‘All the better to see the light that is true love.’ ‘Grandma’, she said again, ‘What big ears you have.’ ‘All the better to hear the beat of a heart so pure.’ He replied. ‘But Grandma, what big teeth you have.’ Before the beast could answer, the girl jumped up, recognising the hideous features of the cursed Prince-beast who had rejected her all those years ago. She shrieked in anger that he still lived, and her cries caught the attention of a woodcutter who was working in the nearby woods. He burst into the house swinging his axe and demanded to know what was happening. The cruel red-haired girl saw her opportunity, and started shaking and crying, pointing at the beast, ‘That BEAST! That beast ate my poor old grandmother and was about to eat me too.’ The woodcutter saw the beast, and recognised his foul features. He knew that the hideous creature must also have killed and feasted on his own daughter who was so beautiful and pure, that he swung his axe high and with one mighty thud, drove the axe straight through the creature’s heart. The Prince died a lonely and humiliating death, a tear in his eye as the red girl smiled her wicked smile.
His young love had run through the woods for days and days, unable to stop crying for her love of the creature, that gentle and beautiful creature, unable to stop her tears for the fact that she could never admit her feelings for him. She came to a cliff, and with the beautiful vibrant rose still clutched in her hand, and the beast forever clutched in her heart, she flung herself over the edge, into the dark abyss below.
The End ... And no one really lived happily ever after.
