Beauty and The Beast

Long ago, in the land of Equestria, in a small town named Ponyville, there were many ponies of all species. Unicorns, Pegasi, and Earth Ponies... But there was one pony who caught the eyes of every stallion, and when I say every stallion, I mean not a single stallion didn't notice this mare! Her name, was Bella, Bella Mare. She was a gorgeous, elegant, intelligent, beautiful and responsible mare, who never fell in love with any stallion in town. The only thing she loved, was her beauty, she had the most love able eyes, the most elegant hair, a perfect, shiny, white coat that sparkled in the light of the sun and shined in the light of the moon. The only ponies that could compare to her beauty, were Princess Celestia and Luna, that, unfortunately, drove her completely mad. Every night, she would look into the stars and sware on the Princesses names that she would be much more beautiful than they were. She applied countless and countless beauty conditioners and items that would make her look more beautiful! Necklaces, Earrings, Bracelets! All of these things, however, could not compare to the princesses and make her more attractive and beautiful. One faithful day, she received her breakthrough, she gained word of a untrustworthy witch at works in the Everfree forest, who could cast any spell and enhance and beauty! This, coincidentally, was just what she wanted to hear. One day she ventured out to the Everfree to meet with this witch. She had been walking around for days seemingly, when she finally came along a house, sitting outside rocking in a chair, was an old mare, who looked very unappealing. She approached the witch and asked if she could be made to be more beautiful than the rulers of the fair land. The witch was about to finalize the denial, when Bella sweetened the deal and added that she would repay her in cash and a job. The witch led Bella into her home, where she had this special bottle of a syrum. The witch have her this valuable warning: "Remember, this potion will show your inner beauty, for if you do not like how you look, you will remain that was for eternity!". The witch then handed Bella the bottle and without haste, Bella drank it instantly. The witch's eyes opened widely as she took a gasp to gain air. The witch called Bella the most horrific creature to ever step foot in Equestria! Bella couldn't believe the witch and ran home to see herself in the mirror. When she got home, she began to cry at the sight in the mirror. She cursed at the reflection, punched the mirror, bucked at it, and even broke it. When she held a piece of it in her hoof, staring back at her was an eyeless, green, ragged monstrosity of a creation. She couldn't take it, she wanted everypony to suffer her pain, she wanted everypony in Equestria's beauty! She grabbed a match from her counter, lit it, and threw it on her bed! The flames began to engulf the bed, then the wood in the room, then the entire house. Bella sat there, alone, starring at the the mirror with an outraged expression. She began to become engulfed in the flames and quickly died due to suffocation by the smoke. By the time the firefighters got there, her body and the house were nothing but ashes... Except the mirror... It stayed intact through all the damage. Later that day, ponies ran to the witch's house for an explanation on why Bella murdered herself. When they arrived at her house, they found her body, mutilated and marked with the words "Blood Mare, Bloody Mare, Bloody Mare!". Everypony then made up the superstition that if you say her name three times in the dark into a mirror, she will appear, drag you into the mirror world she created to entertain herself, try to take the beauty of you, which she will fail in and become enraged, either kill you or steal your purity, and then put you back right where you were, in the dark bathroom. Those who have tried this experiment, have either never been the same... Or never seen again...
