A little girl with red curly hair ran to her mom and dad.

"So did you get it, Merida?" asked Eleanor.

"Yes, and you know what?" said Merida smiling up at her mom and dad.

"What?" asked Eleanor.

"I saw a wisp!"

"A wisp?" said Eleanor.

"Better be careful or else they might bite,"said Fergus.

"They don't have teeth," said Merida. Fergus rolled his eyes and walked away to the wooden table.

Eleanor lifted up Merida and held her in her arms. "Your father doesn't believe in those things."

"Well he should because they're real." Merida saw a shadow behind them and screamed. Eleanor turned and saw the bear.
Fergus called his men and he took his sword and charged at the fearsome bear.

Eleanor took Merida and hopped on the horse.

"What about dad?" asked Merida, pointing at Fergus.

"Your dad's going to be fine," said Eleanor. She and Merida rode back to the castle.

The bear tried to shove Fergus away but he still kept on coming. All the men took their spears and threw it at the bear.
The bear got angry. Fergus tried to stab it but the bear took the sword from Fergus and cut his leg. Fergus screamed in pain. Some men went over to help their king while others tried to fight it.

Jack and Kristoff ran out of the woods and saw them fighting against the bear. Kristoff looked in fright as well as Jack.

Jack looked at his hand, "Shoot! I forgot my staff!"

The bear stood up and it was like 13-foot-tall, and before he could attack the helpless man who was lying on the ground, Jack took a wooden chair and slammed it on the bear's back making the chair break.
The bear turned around and glared at Jack.

Jacks eyes widen and he muttered, "Huh oh."

The bear roared at Jack's face.

"Get down!" Jack ducked when he heard the voice. He saw an arrow flew to the bear but it broke when it made contact with its body.

What is this bear made of? thought Jack, he stood up and turned to the person who had shot the arrow. He was surprised to see that it was a girl who looked no older then him. She threw the bow away and threw the sword to Jack. Jack caught it just in time and blocked the bear's hand giving it a cut. The bear growled in pain. The girl took out two swords and ran to the bear, she jumped up and tried to cut the bear but the bear shoved her away. Kristoff lifted the table and threw it at the bear knocking it backwards. The girl stood up and cut the bear's leg making it fall down with a loud thump. Before they could do anything, the bear got up and dashed into the woods.

"That's right, and don't ever come back!" said Kristoff.

Jack and the girl were breathless. "That is some bear," said Jack.

"That's Mor'du," said the girl.

Jack turned towards her. "What?"

She brushed her silky red hair, "That was the demon bear, Mor'du."

Jack nodded, "Oh. And does it come here often?"

The girl shook her head, "No, but my uncle fights him couple times."
