Chapter 1: The West Wing
Belle was devastated after she became a prisoner in a beast's castle. She absolutely missed her father, and really hated the beast because he was mean to her. All she wanted to do was save her father from being the prisoner, but she knew that the beast would be mean to her. The thing Belle did like was the servants of his castle; they gave her a performance and a dinner, unlike the beast. Belle was so impressed by what houseware can do; she was curious about something they had mentioned. The West Wing; she wondered, "What is in the West Wing that makes it a secret?" After dinner, Mrs. Potts was walking to bed with Belle, making sure that she went to her room and not the West Wing. Belle asked her, "Do you guys ever have a chance to be free? Don't you hate being trapped here, like me?" Mrs. Potts said, "Oh, dear, we don't feel trapped. We have been watching over the Master ever since he was a boy." Belle asked, "Why is he so mean? Does he have any heart or respect?" Mrs. Potts said, "Of course he does. Here's the thing, deep down inside him is a prince." Belle looked at her and Mrs. Potts said, "I-I mean, he's actually not mean. After his mother died, his father taught him to grow up… and be like him. His father was selfish, and he never loved anything not even the Master." Belle looked upstairs, and asked, "So, what's in the West Wing?" Mrs. Potts said, "Oh, nothing for you to worry about, dear. There is only storage, nothing else." Belle could tell that she was lying, but she walked upstairs, "towards her room". Mrs. Potts said, "Now, you get to bed, dear. Straight to bed." Mrs. Potts then was out of sight of Belle, and she started heading to the West Wing. She walked about another three flights of stairs, and she eventually made it to the West Wing, without anyone hearing her. She opened the doors, quietly, and walked in slowly. She looked around, seeing chairs and furniture thrown all over the place. She saw curtains all torn up, and then she saw a picture. Belle looked closely at the ripped picture, and saw three humans. She said, "Humans…" Belle looked at the middle person, which she thought was the beast. She kind of smiled and said, "He's… handsome." Then, she saw something glow; she looked at the light, and saw a beautiful rose. She said, "A rose." She walked to it, and looked at all the fallen petals and partially frozen glass it's in. She slowly moved her hand to it, but then the beast jumped in her way yelling, "Get away!" He looked at it and she backed up, fearing him. He asked angrily, "What did you do to it?! Did you touch it?!" Belle replied, "No! Nothing!" Beast asked, "Do you know what you could have done?! We all could have stayed like this and not turn back into humans!" Belle was confused, but still was frightened. She kept backing up and Beast yelled, "Get out! Get out of here!" Belle instantly ran out of the castle and she heard Beast roaring in anger. As she was running downstairs, Lumiere and Cogsworth were playing chess by the stairs. Cogsworth told him, "You cheated!" Lumiere was laughing and he said, "No I didn't. You did." Cogsworth said, "What? No I didn't!" They saw Belle and Lumiere asked, "Where are you going?!" Belle replied, "I'm leaving! I'm never coming back here again!" She grabbed her jacket and was still running to the door. Lumiere and Cogsworth said, "No!" Belle then ran out of the castle and hopped on her horse, Phillipe. She told him, "Go Phillipe! Run home!" Phillipe neighed and then started galloping away from the castle. She looked back at the castle and then looked forward. Watching her was a pack of wolves. One wolf saw her and howled loudly. The wolves then stopped Phillipe and he neighed in fear. Belle told him, "Phillipe it's okay!" Then, a wolf jumped on him and he neighed and tipped Belle off him. Phillipe ran away and Belle grabbed a huge branch. The wolves slowly walked towards her, growling. Belle would swat at them with the branch, but it wouldn't hurt them. Then, a wolf came up to her and jumped on her back. She screamed and collapsed to the ground, and she tried to get the wolf off. Eventually, two more wolves got on her and started biting her. Belle was bit in the neck, back, and chest. She eventually stopped moving, but Beast came to her rescue. He fought the wolves, and after three minutes of fighting them, they all scurried away. Beast looked at Belle, who was laying there bleeding a lot. He gasped and said, "Oh no." He ran to her, and she wouldn't move. Belle was badly injured and Beast told her, "Don't worry. I'll get you help." He then decided to carry her back to his castle.
