A/N I saw three videos on YouTube, all by RosesnWater, who's here on FanFiction under the same name. The videos are, "Breath- Thrax/Ariel/Gaston (feat. Belle)" "Perfect Enemy- Hades/Ariel/Thrax/Belle (feat: Vanessa)" and "Everytime I Fall- Thrax/Belle/Gaston" I got her permission to write them into a fanfic.
There are three parts of this story, representing each video: Breath, Perfect Enemy, and Everytime I Fall. I think I'm gonna have fun with this :)
The plots are owned by RosesnWater; the characters, except Almira, belong to Disney and/or Warner Bros. Almira's my own character. I couldn't resist adding her :3
The Whip: Thanks XD Glad you like it.
Ashira12: Thanks :)
RosesnWater: I have that one on my left arm from surgery. I guess that's one of the things that makes him a great character :D
Perfect Enemy
Chapter 3
In a flash of bright light, Thrax and Almira found themselves back in the real world in a forest. Thrax still had the chain, and Almira her wounds, so they knew what happened between them and Hades had been real. As well as the fact that Thrax had a murderous job to do: collect one hundred souls of young girls in two years.
He stood up, examining the chain. It looked like a simple piece of black rope, but one thing he learned was never take a simple thing for granted. It just may surprise you.
Sighing, he sat back on a log. "What am I gonna do, Mira?" He asked, putting his head in his hands. "I don't think I can kill anyone innocent."
Almira couldn't answer, so she just sat in front of Thrax, every now and then lapping away the blood from her scratch off of her snout.
Just then, Thrax had an idea. "Wait. I could make my home in this forest. I've seen girls walkin' in the forest all the time! I could tell them they're trespassin'. That's a crime!" He stood up, laughing. "Ha! It's genius!"
Almira wagged her tail, jumping up and barking.
"Alright, here's what we'll do. Yer good with sniffin' an' hearin', so you'll keep yer eyes, ears an' nose out fer girls. Once you see even a glimpse of one, you come an' get me. We'll work out the other details later."
Almira nodded, smiling.
A few days later, as Thrax had predicted, a woman came into the forest. She was tall and thin, wearing a purple dress and brown sandals, and had long red-brown hair, and purple eyes. She seemed to be lost, as she was looking around as she walked with a nervous expression.
She jumped at a growl. "Hello?" She called. "Who's out there? What's out there?"
Pale yellow eyes appeared in the shadows, as well as a sharp-toothed grin. The woman gasped softly and backed away, only to bump into something behind her. Feeling behind her with her hand, she felt a cloth coat. Realizing she had bumped into someone, she turned around, only to get stabbed by a glowing claw. She fell back, looking up to see her killer. Her eyes widened to see a red creature dressed in a gray turtleneck sweater, black sweatpants, boots and trench coat.
Once she fell limp, her chest began glowing brightly. Remembering what Hades said, Thrax reached into the light with his claws. Feeling something round and somewhat hard, he grabbed it and pulled it out. It was a round, brightly shining orb. He held it near the chain on his right wrist, watching in awe as the chain grabbed it and swallowed it like a snake swallowed a mouse. Now there was a little glowing dot on the chain.
Staring at it, a grin slowly grew on Thrax's face. "One down, 99 to go."
A week later, another woman came into the forest. This time, she seemed to be gathering flowers. She had olive skin with wavy black hair, green eyes, and wore a white dress.
Deciding to experiment, Almira jumped onto a tall rock. The woman looked at her, only able to see her silhouette because the sun was right behind her. Almira sat down, threw her head back, and howled long and eerily. The sent a chill down the woman's spine.
Almira jumped into the bushes, chuckling wickedly. "Atta girl." A different voice purred.
The woman gasped as a dark figure appeared before her, grinning. "Who are you?" She whispered.
"Yer worst nightmare." The figure answered, chuckling. He walked forward, quickly killing the woman before she could run off.
Again, he collected her soul, putting it in his chain. "Two down, 98 to go."
In the Underworld, Hades, who was sitting in a large throne made of stone, was watching what was going on through a large orb. Ariel was watching as well, and was horrified at what Thrax was doing. She understood that he would do anything to get her back, but this was wrong!
And he knew it. She could see in his eyes he didn't want to do it. Unfortunately, he had no choice.
Before her, Hades chuckled, sticking a cigar into his mouth. "With that half-breed's help, I'll have all those girls' souls in no time. I shoulda thought of this a long time ago."
Beside his throne, Hellgar sat chewing on a bone. Hades hung his arm over the arm of his throne and scratched the hellhound's head, ruffling his flames. "I shoulda asked them to stick a few female dogs in, eh, Gar ol' buddy?"
Hellgar laughed at that, nodding.
Ariel scowled at the two, angry that they thought Thrax killing innocent people was good and funny. But she wanted to be free, so she didn't say anything, lest she ruin everything.
The Present…
"Ya must've really wanted to die if ya came trespassin' here, baby." Thrax chuckled in a mocking way.
"Please, I didn't know anyone lived here." Belle fibbed.
"Well, now ya know. An' that's the only thing you'll know."
Hanging her head, she said, "I…I actually sort of knew you lived here. That's why I came here."
Thrax raised an eyebrow in confusion. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"My life is horrible. My boyfriend…while we look the perfect couple…he hurts me at home. I try to do the things I love, but he slaps me, telling me to do something else. I came here, knowing you killed any young women who trespassed here."
Thrax's eyes widened in disgust. "So you came here to die? To throw yer life away?"
Nodding, Belle turned away. "Do what you will to me."
Thrax raised his claw, but found himself lowering it. He couldn't kill someone, knowing they wanted to die. It didn't seem right in his opinion.
Instead, he grabbed Belle's chin in his right hand and turned her head so she was looking into his green and yellow eyes. "Yer just an ungrateful bitch to throw away yer life like that." He growled, startling her. "Get outta here before I decide to grant yer wish." That said, he pushed her back and stormed back through the brush, whistling for the creature who had scared Belle earlier.
Belle looked out into the woods, scanning for the creature who had spared her life. She didn't find him, but before turning to remount Phillipe, she yelled out, "Thank you!" She mounted her horse and rode out of the woods, deciding to try and live a little despite her terrible life before deciding whether she should die or not.
What she didn't know was that Thrax had heard her thank him. He scoffed lightly, but inside, he felt sorry for the girl. He remembered how Ariel was cheated on by Gaston. He didn't know whether he hurt her or not, but cheating was abusing in his book.
They were both wrong to do.
A/N The vid didn't show Meg and Esmeralda's (they were the first women Thrax killed) deaths, so I got creative :3
Keep in mind that Thrax has never seen Belle, or heard Gaston describe her, so he doesn't know the woman he spared was the one Gaston killed Ariel for. Had he known, he probably wouldn't have hesitated. But that's just my opinion.
