Twisted Tales

 Once upon a time, upon a hill was an old, yet lively village. In this village lived a young girl named Belle, she lived with her father and adored books. In this village, also lived a man named Gaston, he was the strongest man throughout the whole village and adored by all its women. But alas, Gaston only wanted one woman, this woman was Belle. Belle, on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with Gaston, he was everything she despised and was against morally. He was all about himself, he was rude, dirty and not very intelligent. He tried to be her and make her fall in love with him, it never worked. He was at a loss, he didn't know what to do, he sat upon the fountain in the middle of the village and pondered on how he could make Belle fall in love with him. "Beware! The end of our time is upon us!" screamed the little old village lady. Over the years time was not kind to her mind, she claims she is a magic, no one believes her. But, as she passed by, Gaston had an idea and was very desperate, so he approached her asking for a love potion so Belle would fall in love with him. She led him into her tiny run down cottage. Her house is filled sticks, vials of strange liquids, water, mud, leaves and berries. She threw a couple of sticks, some berries, water and a vile of liquid into a stained clay pot. She then poured the potion into a tiny vial and handed it to Gaston. He grabbed the vial, and without hesitation started to leave. "Wait! You need to pay me for the potion, they aren't free you know?" He laughed and ran out. "YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS, HEED MY WARNING!" He ignored her and laughed. He prepared a glass of water for Belle and mixed the potion in it. He found Belle sitting alone under a tree just outside the village and proceeded to offer her a drink as it was a hot summer day. "I am quite parched, thank you Gaston." She tells him. She drinks the water and Gaston proceeds to smirk as he thinks he has finally done it. Belle start choking and falls to the ground and it was not long before she stopped breathing. In shock, Gaston falls to his knees in sadness and confusion. It was not long before nightfall and the village was asleep, he then drug her body to the fountain and dropped her body in, he planned on it looking like she had fell in and drowned. He then ran to the witches cottage only to see that the cottage was not there, all that remained was a note that read, " I told you that you would pay, the price was her life."
