Prologue;

Once upon a time there was a far away land filled with dreams. The birds sang and danced, where the sunlight broke through the tree's that seemed to cover up the sky. The grass was bright and fresh, you know when you get that new grass smell? It was even more beautiful and the reason was because every flower you could imagine was in that valley. There roses were clinging to the tree's, trying to get more sunlight, there thorns piercing the wood. High perched rocks where water fell from them, while sparkling in the heat.

But beyond that valley was a shining castle, which a young prince lived in. And although this young prince had everything his heart desired, servants that were the closest thing to brothers and sisters he had to care for him and tend every one of his needs, girls swooning over his looks and desperately wanting to be his wife. However the prince was spoiled, arrogant, selfish and unkind.

But then one winter's night, an old beggar lady came and knocked on the castle doors. The prince opened up the doors and the beggar lady spoke. She told him her name was Imogene, then handed him a single, black rose that seemed to sparkle in the moonlight, and that all she wanted in return was some shelter. Repulsed by her appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away with once again his arrogant attitude.

The woman warned him not to be deceived by appearances, and that beauty was found within a person's heart not just on the outside. The prince turned the woman away again, and suddenly the old woman's ugliness melted away and turned into an enchantress. Her golden hair flowed downward, and her old rag turned into a stunning dress. She seemed to glow with power and sheer beauty. The prince tried to apologize but it was too late. The enchantress had seen that there was no love in the prince's heart, so as punishment she transformed him into a hideous beast, and cast a powerful spell on the whole of the castle and all who lived there.

Ashamed of his monstrous form, the prince concealed himself away in the castle, with a magic sword which was his only connection to the outside world. But also the black rose she offered, which would bloom until his 21st year, and if he could learn to love, and a woman to love him back with what he had on the inside and not just his appearance by the time the last petal fell, only then would the spell be broken. If not the prince would be doomed to live his life as a lonely beast with no one to love or for himself to be loved.

As the years past, the prince fell into despair, losing all hope, because for who would learn to love the beast? Who would see the true prince he was on the inside.

The true Jace Wayland.

So this is another story that just entered my mind. To be honest I will be spending all the free time on this that I have, and I really hope you guys enjoy it.

Basically this is like Beauty and Beast (hence name) with all the Characters in the Mortal Instrument series that I can/could fit in the story. It will have the songs in, and also if anyone has songs they have written if it fits in with the story I would add it and give credit when needed. It will have more fluff in and some more twists than the normal 'B&B'

Please review, its gives me basicully really does help motivate me. Thank you anyway for reading it and if you review/add favourite I will love you and so will Jace in his most non-beastly way possible?

Disclaimer : I do not own any of the Mortal Instrument Charecters/The Beauty and Beast plot, only some idea's.
