Belle strolled along the rooftops of the castle, admiring the beautiful architecture and the sounds of the birds calling one another, flying high in the sky.
She decided she needed some air after the Beast had another one of his temper tantrums.
Boy it made her angry when he acted so childish. She saw wonderful qualities in the Beast, and her heart was falling for his warmth, however she certainly did not admire his grumpy side.
Belle sighed as she leaned on the railing, feeling the cool breeze on her rosy cheeks.
"He'll come around, dear. Now how bout I fetch you a nice up of tea." Mrs Potts hopped along back towards the castle as Belle smiled to herself.
She felt so free being so high up on the castle rooftop and she could see the whole forrest from here. The green from the trees stood out beautifully through the white snow.
Suddenly the ground began to shake violently.
Bella gasped as rubble pieces rolled dangerously down the rooftops. Another petal must have fallen, she thought to herself.
Before she could react, a large tier of the castle cascaded down, shattering the platform Belle was standing on.
"HELP!" Belle screamed as she rolled down the roof top, desperately trying to grasp onto something.
Dust clouded her eyes as she rolled, fumbling for a grip until the edge of the roof was becoming visible and quickly.
"BEAST!" She desperately called out as she felt her body reach the end of the roof.
Closing her eyes, she screamed again.
Strong, large hands grasped her arms firmly.
"Hang on, Belle! I've got you!"
She looked up to see Beast holding firmly onto the building, his hand having caught her arm. He slowly pulled her up until she reached his body.
In a swift movement, he cradled her to his chest as he scurried back up towards the firm platforms of the castle, landing safely.
"Belle, are you hurt?! Are you alright?" He asked frantically, holding her shoulders for support.
Belle's head throbbed and she felt bruising.
"Ye-yes." She swayed slightly.
"You're hurt. Here, Belle. I've got you."
She felt his warm embrace as he scooped her up and began carrying her downstairs. She smiled to herself as his warmth rocked her to sleep.
Maybe he wasn't so grumpy after all.
