5-Merida: The Beast

Chapter 5; Merida's POV-"The Beast"

I got changed and walked out of the room, seeing a dining table with a brown furry monster sitting at the end. I gasped. It was, for some reason, in a weirdly shaped suit with a cape that draped along the floor. He was quite large, very bulky, dark brown fur. Most of him looked so mean, like I was reliving an odd version of my father's past... But I wasn't, and I looked him right in the eyes and I saw kindness, not hatred like my father had always explained. He smiled a crooked smile, stood up from his seat and chuckled before saying, "why, Belle! You look different today... But always beautiful!" I smiled, no one had ever said that to me. That I was beautiful...

My huge, red, curly hair that bounced everywhere wildly was usually a turn off to many guys, resulting in me taking the "manly" role to take care of myself and brothers. I had never thought of having a...relationship, you could say. I didn't find that men (or even women!) had appealed to me... The only person I loved was myself, and I couldn't imagine it any other way.

"My name is Merida! And thank you, you look-uhh...handsome today!" I never had complimented anyone like that before. The only reason I knew what to say was because my mother says that to my dad EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. And it sickens me and my brothers every single time she says it!

"Thank you--Merida." the Beast said politely. I had a lot of questions to ask Mr. Beast over here.

"Uhh, Beast... I have some questions to ask you. Just to-you know- get to know you better!" I told lil' Beastie.

"Of course, Merida! Let's talk over breakfast." he smiled, gesturing to the quite large table that he was standing next to. I nodded, I was very hungry! He took my hand and led me to the other end of the table and pulled out the chair for me to sit. I held his hand as I sat in the velvet cushioned seat. My hand looked tiny compared to his, well, beastly hands. Once I sat down, he pushed my seat in so I could be a perfect distance from the finely set table. This castle was MUCH more fancy and elegant than mine! I will have trouble fitting in here...

Beast sat down on the other end, smiling at me, his eyes filled with love... I stared back, a shy smile on my tiny face. Beast and I were like that for a good 15 seconds when all of a sudden, a candelabra with 3 sticks, all lit, came to life. I stared at it, making sure I wasn't hallucinating. He smiled, "Merida! Merida! What would you like for ze breakfeest today?" it said in a French accent.

"Anything would be fine, Mr. uhh... What was your name again?" I asked, embarrassed and sure that Belle would know this.

"Why! Lumiere! Your best friend in ze whole castle!" he said grinning.

"Well, Lumiere, I'll take anything. Anything delicious, that is. Haha" I told the odd yet friendly French candlabra. It nodded then asked Beast the same question. His reply was the same.

"So, Merida, you had questions to ask me?" The Beast asked gently. I nodded.

"Yes, I do. One of which is what is your real name? I just call you Beast but I would like to know the real you... Also, how come there are all these living objects yet some objects aren't alive? And why are there even living objects..?" I pondered to Beast.

"Well, my name is Adam. Also, some objects were there before. And those living objects are people, they were cursed like me. I became...well, this. A beast. And the others became random things around the castle." He explained. I nodded, showing I understood. Adam then smiled a huge grin, showing his sharp white teeth. I giggled at the sight of this. "W-what are you laughing at?" he asked.

"You! You look so silly when you show all your teeth haha. But it's cute and nice. I like it." I told him. He smiled even bigger, maybe to annoy me, maybe because I told him it's cute and nice and that I like it. I don't know.

Right after that, Lumiere brought out the food. Before placing it down, a ton of plates, spoons, forks, knives, glasses, EVERYTHING you would use for dining came to life. Including full wine bottles and other things. They started doing a little dancing number and singing. I think it was called "Be Our Guest"? I don't really know... But it was cool! It was so pretty and I laughed and clapped while Adam watched my reaction. As soon as they were done, they scattered and then plated our food for us. "Enjoy," Lumiere smiled. Adam and I thanked him for the entertainment and food.

"Lumiere, before you go, may I request a few things from you?" I asked. He nodded, then walked over so I could whisper to him. "I, for one, need a green dress with a cape. I also would like big turkey legs for dinner. And if you could, supply me with a barrel of apples? Just put it in my room. I hope that's not too much to ask for..!"

"No no, Merida, of course I can do zat. for you!" Lumiere then proceeded to wink at me, making me laugh again. He then gestured to the table filled with food, "Eat, my dear." I nodded.

After all, I was still hungry.

I started off with some oatmeal topped with blueberries and strawberry slices. As I spooned through the oatmeal, I sipped some cranberry juice. I finished the bowl of gooey oats in only a few minutes. I then moved to a batch of scrambled eggs and 3 waffles. While swallowing my food, I downed the cranberry juice. I then decided that cranberry juice was too bitter for my liking and I would drink apple juice instead. It tasted much better than the tart, bitter cranberry juice...

Adam and I soon finished breakfast. He asked me to join him in the gardens. I definitely agreed and he led me outside to the green gardens. There were flowers and trees with hedged surrounding. It was...amazing... This reminded me of the forest back at home. I wondered if I should tell Beast my interests, like archery and apples. Or should I act like Belle would, graceful and like a princess. Like my mother would want... I chose not to say anything until I would feel ready. It might be a while though. He pointed out all the flower types. Soon, Lumiere and his friends, a clock-Cogsworth, a teapot-Mrs. Potts and Mrs. Potts son, a teacup-Chip brought us some bird feed so we could feed the birds. They were red and blue and oh, so, cute! I never thought I would ever say that... What. Is. Happening. To. Me?

It must be the love of that big ol' beast.

I hope you enjoyed the second cheaper of Merida! I enjoyed it and as I was editing, I read all the voices in the accents(horribly) and read all the thoughts and everything in Merida's Scottish accent(again, horrible.).

Ta ta!
