Teddy Bear (Being Rewritten)

Beauty and Beast

(Extra chap!!)

I sighed as I held the book to my chest, happy that the ending held once again, a happy ending! I saw by the water fountain, the sheep baa-ing at me as they rubbed against me. I stood, and twirled on the flat edge of the fountain, my blue and white long shirt, almost dress fluttered a bit, my brown pants and black boots getting wet as I played in the water.

I decided to go home then to my father, hoping that maybe my siblings would be home. But on my way there my book was snatched by Gaston!!

"Hey! Give that back!" I asked as I reached to take it from his large hands, but he only held it higher making me lean into his strong build to get it.

"Sorry sweet Belle, but why do you read such stories?" He asked as he dangled my book with a look of disgust on his face.

"Cause! They're interesting unlike your self!" I said as I jumped up once more, and captured my book back.

Gaston folded his large arms across his chest and smirked at me. "I can be interesting, in bed." He smirked as he leaned in, and I leaned away.

"I'm sorry, but I don't understand, excuse me as I leave." I said glaring at him, and quickly leaving back home where father was working on yet another invention.

"Ah! Jade my boy, mind helping me out here?" He asked as he countinued to tinker.

"I don't mind at all." I said and helped him.

Hours later, I was a mess and so was Father, but we were happy as his machine worked and he was going to take it to the fair for a prize right away.

"But it'll be late halfway through, why not wait till morning?" I asked him as I put the machine in his cart and put one of our horses to the wagon to help bring it along.

"I'm sure dear, I'll be back soon, don't worry, Irrene and Ivan should be back with me possibly if they are in that town as well." He said and put his coat on, grabbing a map as well.

I sighed, but smiled as he got on the large horse. "Alright, oh when you do get back, be sure to go to Emeralds book shop, he's been wanting to talk to you."

My father smiled proudly at the mention of the book shop keeper's name and request. "I'll be sure too!"

I nodded and off he went.

*****

I knock at the door made me stand from my seat and open the door to see the one person I'd rather not see right now.

Gaston.

"Gaston, what do you want?" I asked as I glared at him.

"Ah, nothing much, I've heard your a good cook?" He said as he pushed past me and into my home. "That's great in a marriage you know." He said as he sat at my table and put his nasty boots on my books.

I quickly pushed his feet off the table and pick my books up and wipe them off. "So, I don't care about marriage Gaston." I told him as I set my books on the bookshelf.

"Oh surly you do, you could marry me? I hunt, I am the most manliest man in this village, we can always adopt children you know." He said as he took one of my pastries and ate it.

"Sorry Gaston, but I'm not interested, surely the triplets would be in the better choice?" I asked as I pushed him out my door, throwing his boots at him and slamming my door on his face.

I sighed as I heard him huff and leave.

I was on a hill, flowers growing around me as I read another book of mine, another favorite.
