A/N: This is going to be a short story, but it will be awesome nonetheless! The setting of this story is Twilight Princess. It's going to be a Beauty and the Beast version but not the Disney one! And not entirely the original version either… But in a way it's my own Beauty and the Beast version of LOZ (It's not going to go with the Twilight Princess plot!)It will have my OC, Mistique as the Beauty. Link never lived in Ordon, but Mistique does. Enjoy, and read and Review! ^_^

The morning sun shone brightly across the little village of Ordon making it glow golden from its natural beauty. The Ordona Providence though very far from other villages and especially Hyrule Castle, provided resources for the inhabitants of this small area and they all lived quite well and happily amongst each other.

In the village of Ordon, there was a group of young children and their names were: Colin, Talo, Malo, Beth, and two young women called Ilia and Mistique. Colin was the son of the best swordsman of all Ordon, Talo and Malo's father was a very skilled carpenter that helped build this village, Beth's parents owned the local store, Ilia's father was the mayor of the entire village, and Mistique sadly had no biological relatives since she came into the village as an orphan from a distant and long forgotten village. But that didn't mean she didn't have a family of her own; Russl, Colin's father had brought her into the family with warm and loving arms which she happily accepted when they found her.

The group of friends all looked out for one another, cared for each other despite all the troublemaking some made, and small arguments between themselves. The one who acted like the referee and a mother to them all was Mistique. Everyone in the group looked up to Mistique greatly, even Ilia who was the same age as she. Mistique was different from all the other girls in both her village and probably most in the Kingdom of Hyrule; she was trained to attack and defend when necessary with swords and her fists, she read books of everything, and instead of dreaming to find the perfect husband to spoil her with gifts, she dreamed to go on an adventure one day and see what destiny had to offer her with love. Plus, Mistique was not a bad horse rider since she had her own horse, Helio.

But the main thing that drove young men crazy when they would see her was her beauty. Mistique was a very beautiful girl with twinkling grey eyes, her long black hair that looked almost like fine silk, and a beautiful body to go with all that. Sometimes she would drive Beth with jealousy without even trying, caused older women to envy her youth, and she had many admirers once they made eye contact with her. However, Mistique's attitude was humble and very selfless.

Life for Mistique in Ordon was simple and every other day there would be something different, such as a monkey riding one of the goats around the ranch, but Mistique longed to one day leave and find her own adventure in the world one day just like the Chosen Hero that was chosen by the Gods. She envied him so much, even if she didn't know the Hero personally.

"Hey Mistique!" Ilia called out as her friend began daydreaming.

One thing Mistique did a lot while she was not busy was daydream and come up with ideas to help her train, help the village or come up with her own story of her adventure one day.

"Yes?" Mistique replied, coming back to reality.

"I was asking you if you were done helping Fado out," Ilia replied. "You know how he can't handle the goats sometimes."

The two friends were walking back from Ordon Pond since they had gotten some water and dry leaves to start a small supper right now in Mistique's own house.

"Oh yes," Mistique said. "I did the whole day! Now the goats are safely back in the barn and I can relax for the rest of the day!"

Mistique had a strange job here in the village. She worked with Fado, the ranch owner, as his ranch hand. Many had thought it was strange for a young woman to take this kind of job, but she loved the job very much and she could handle the goats better than Fado himself.

Ilia giggled. "Well, I'm glad you're done. You deserve a break from all the work."

Her dear friend Ilia was too a pretty girl. Her hair was light brown and short, and she had gentle green eyes. She and Mistique had been best friends since childhood and the two cared for each other very much.

"I wonder what goes on in your head," Ilia wondered. "Your mind works so…strange… In a good way though! I never knew how you were able to fight those horrific monsters."

When some Bulblin monsters had charged the village with attacks and tried to kidnap the children, Mistique had surprised them with her attacks and flawlessly defeated each and every single one of those monsters with her own sword. However, a Bulblin had managed to slash Mistique's arm with his club slightly, though it still managed to cause an injury.

"I can't be the Hero though!" Mistique exclaimed, but grateful. "I wish I could have more than that and an adventure…"

"The Hero is so handsome…" Ilia sighed. "I believe his name is Link… And he has a beautiful horse that he has to ride around the whole land!"

Mistique sighed. She and Ilia were opposites in a way; Mistique wanted to quench her thirst for adventure, and Ilia wanted to own her place to raise horses and take care of them. But the two friends did long to meet the Hero, Link.

"It's getting late," Ilia added looking up at the sky as it began to set. "We should get home as quickly as possible. Remember what Russl said that there still might be some monster in the woods still."

Secretly, Mistique wanted to go in the woods and take a look for herself, but she knew that Russl would not let her, especially after the attack from the Bublin horde. The two friends finally arrived in the village, said goodbye and Ilia went home and Mistique went to say goodnight to her family before she went to her own house at the entrance of the village.

"Hey guys!" Mistique said coming in the door.

Her family, Russl, Colin, her mother Uli and her newborn baby sister, Aurora, were all in the kitchen putting stuff away and apparently getting ready to go to bed for the day. Mistique joined her family and helped around the house. All of her family was very close and the conversation carried throughout the kitchen.

"So Mistique," Russl started as he put some of his swords against the wall. "One of my colleague's son really wants to see you again."

Mistique sighed. Russl knew that this bothered her a lot; the son of Russl's colleague had tried to give Mistique very expensive gifts and also tried to woo her with strange romantic poems and songs. One day Mistique couldn't take his attempts any longer and threatened him to slice his head in half if he did not stop with the . And since then, Russl has made fun of his daughter, though it irritated her.

"Father," Mistique said sounding slightly annoyed, though there was a hint of laughter hidden in her voice.

Russl laughed and replied, "You only call me father when you get mad at me. I was just joking Mistique."

His daughter finally laughed and the family continued to talk and laugh with each other until it was time for Mistique to leave. She said goodbye to all of her family and began to make her way home until Russl reminded her, "And don't be going out there for that monster in the woods!"

Mistique nodded like a teenager "listening" to her parents and headed home. But once inside, however, she realized that some of her food was gone, and so was a blanket, a few of her pictures had fallen off the walls, and there was little black hairs on the rug. Wondering if it had been the monster who had ransacked her home, she stood up taller and took out her sword ready to confront what had stolen her stuff. Mistique took her sword, and forgetting Russl's words, she headed to the Faron woods.

After a few minutes, Mistique finally arrived at Faron woods and carefully looked around for any source of evil or life. The woods seemed deadly quiet, so Mistique went over to the lantern salesman's, (Coro's), house to see if he had heard anything suspicious. She practically floated across the path thanks to Russl's teaching, and reached Coro's house. Apparently, he had gone to sleep outside as he always does, but right when Mistique was going to go and wake him up, she heard a twig snap.

The beautiful girl quickly drew her sword up and looked around for the source of the noise. She heard some quiet rustling that drew her attention to a large opening a few feet away from Coro's house. Quietly and carefully, Mistique approached the area with caution her sword ready to strike. She pressed herself against the wall near the edge of the opening, waited a few seconds, and finally entered the opening with a daring entrance.

But just as there seemed to be no danger, Mistique heard some snarling and a ferocious bark. From the front, a black wolf or beast of some sort, had lunged itself at Mistique and threw her on the ground with her sword falling out of her hand.
