Author's Announcement:
Now, this chapter gets interesting as I am going to make it a long one, and incorporate the rest of the movie into it as Morgana's true adventures will begin after.
So in terms, there isn't anything more I can say on the matter as you will be surprised by how things turn out near the end of this, but like I am stating now, however, I am not going to spoil it at all for those that do read this.
To quote as I have quoted before: I do not own anything except my characters, or ideas within the plots of the stories I tend to use. If I did, Maleficent would be pranked by Naruto Uzumaki and Loki to be dancing as a ballerina for two weeks and casting light magic.

(Continues from Chapter 1 of fixing: June 15th of 2022)
Normal POV, where we last left off with Morgana:
Morgana blinked twice at the white-cloaked female that she saw while foreign to the child, sh gently softened her eyes as Morgana gave her a suspicious-like glance mixed with not only being half-shy but also half-fearful by her question to her, "Who… Are you miss?" Trinaza and Demi though, instantly went in front of Morgana to briefly amuse the cloaked female slightly, at them being protective of her.
"You do not need to fear my children and wolf. For I am simply The Keeper: The Guardian of Hearts and Worldly Realms, and Goddess Child to both Hestia and Apollo. I was sent a while back to guard this," the female motioned the entire room to make the three realize the area itself as the Minor Goddess proceeded with a smile under the cloak, in kindness, to them, "Location from those that would bring darkness and fear, as well as strife to the books I guard."
Seeing or perhaps feeling she was telling the truth, Morgana relaxed alongside both Demi and Trinaza, though the cloaked goddess and she were amused by Trinaza now sitting on a couch-like bench and somehow, using her left leg to scratch her left cat ear, like a dog of sorts. However, Morgana asked curiously since the little girl saw a lot of books within this location, close to fifty or so she shortly counted in her head, and gazed at Minor Goddess, when she spoke, "Why do you guard so few books, Miss Keeper?"
Chuckling gently to Morgana as she went over to a stand near the fireplace that held an orb of sorts, Morgana noticed now on each book had an orb-like slot since the sapphire-emerald fused orb that was the size of a large marble on each front cover, a metallic-like slot that the orb will fit into since she also stated her name while explaining things, "Please child, do call me Sarah as I am only a few centuries or so old. Calling me Miss, makes me sound older. However, to further your curiosity since I fully realize you have, Morgana Potter," she held up the orb slightly and due to the light from the fire, glowed briefly to also make the child jump as the unlit torches within the room had now lit-up in pure-white flames to truly light up the room. "The area I have been guarding for some time. When it does need guarding that is, is a room for those that like you, went on adventures on many things."
To shock Morgana, she touched the child's necklace as both the locket and the orb itself glowed, and the other orb within Sarah's hands began to glow a blue-green based color, and with a few blinks of the child's eyes while also at the same time, making Morgana wonder how it occurred, was now assembled to her necklace. It was then followed by a small, silver-like key with a golden heart being embedded in the handle's holey-like image.
"I figured the orb from the Prince's mother as she too was once a Guardian... Is now passed onto you, as those with either a Mixed Heart (1) like yourself or a heart filled with light, may truly be chosen." Morgana was inwardly dumbfounded in silence at this while she now touched the two new items on her necklace along with the child staring at them as if they were a few of her precious things, now, to cherish.
Sarah finally lowered her hood to reveal a female that sort of resembled The Beast's mother in facial looks, yet younger, but her eyes along with her hair were both silver and gold mixed with violet, the sixteen-year-old goddess.
She then touched the child's face with warm eyes staring at her, as Morgana began to shake her head now sadly and state and make the goddess comprehend all-too-well as she has foreseen this slightly from Hecate, "I c-can't take this task, Sarah. Why would I be chosen as I'm… A freak."
Jumping by the unexpected-yet-gentle hug, with Demi sleeping on Trinaza's lap presently the hybrid merely scrutinized in silence yet narrowed her eyes as when she awoke, she saw her big sister's memories all-to-well.
Sarah gently expressed to make a tear briefly fall down Morgana's cheek in slight acceptance now from what the goddess now acknowledged to her, kindly yet softly as if she also had some experiences in her past, "You may have doubts upon yourself child, but know this: You may have been cared for poorly, but that doesn't mean those that truly love you see you that way, Morgana Jasmine Potter-Evergreen."
Now nodding briefly, the goddess then began to escort while Trinaza was holding the sleeping wolf-pup easily in her arms escorted the two out of the room as the goddess felt she will eventually return since her current adventure and after, is still going. "I will be here always in case you need aid, or help as a Future Guardian, to which you are now as once you entered, it was already decided, my child. Till next we meet, fare-thee-well, Morgana Potter-Evergreen, or would you rather be called Mary, still?"
Declaring a quiet term of her nickname to the goddess, she smiled slightly as once the two were out they turned to look back yet were astonished to see the bookshelf was that, an ordinary bookshelf, now.
"Mary! There you are! We have been looking all over for you," Belle expressed worriedly to confuse her sister slightly over, as to her it has only been a few minutes, yet in real-time: Nearly twenty or so minutes had passed.
Despite this, they celebrated the holiday, with Belle placing in the back of her mind as she thought she saw a bookshelf glow briefly before they left the library, and then headed to the Master Den.
Later on, Morgana knew the servants were possibly singing to themselves the song still while the Triplets took Trinaza (to the hybrid's own ire by being away from Morgana), to get decent clothing on alongside minor lessons on manners, as Dinner's affair… was entertaining as she acted like The Beast.
Demi was with Will as confidentially (to humor her) well as his half-sister, only went with the triplets as he had a crush on one of them, to which they don't know at all.
Morgana though was half-asleep since Belle was reading to Beast as he was discreetly surprised like Belle, was nice and cozy on his lap while the two were near each other.
Chipana secretly sees this with a minor tint to her cheeks before catching up to her mother as they needed to tend to their servant duties.
Time passed once again as it was now the morning of the big day that Morgana knew what might happen, with Cassie and Will also getting around like she was and was thankful the coat rack aided her as (to her secret surprise, as well as the people within the castle itself) they gave her an emerald-green and silver dress that sort of resembles Belle's yellow dress (which was a ball gown yet Morgana's was made for a child), at the foot of her bed when she awoke.
Confidentially (if they saw), a pair of green eyes secretly satisfied that Morgana loved it as he went to attend to… certain things.
Now after they ate, Morgana with Belle in tow, went to take dance lessons as this amazed Mrs. Potts as well as Lumiere, and glimpsing Belle looking at her little sister, decided to aid them slightly since currently, they were wearing the same outfits they wore on the first night of their arrival of the castle, to do this.
"Now repeat after me, Mary: One, two, three while also looking at not only your surroundings but at your feet as you waltz." The candlestick began to instruct within the Ballroom as, despite the servants being surprised by this, he was a pretty good instructor since Morgana did step on her sibling's feet a few times, but eventually, began to dance like an angel slightly yet privately making Belle amazed at how quickly she got into it as if Morgana was born to do so.
Since Morgana was currently alone while practicing and adding a few new moves they had never seen before into her dancing, Lumiere aired with ease while also making Belle, who was sitting on a regular chair and not a servant this time, glance at him in response. "The little one is sure dancing as either an angel or ballerina, mademoiselle."
Nodding as the young woman was truly proud despite late last night she had to attend to her adoptive sister, from another nightmare yet it was slightly better than the last few, as Belle gently placed the book she got from the castle's library, down on her lap, "Indeed she is, Lumiere. It still amazes me how well she caught onto your lessons." The object and Belle then saw to stun them that Morgana leaped into the air and landed perfectly, after spinning and then continued dancing while also humming an unknown song to herself, since the child also seemed to be in her little world.
The two, however, while Morgana still danced, were startled as while Morgana had her eyes closed still, that strange aura came to her form once again, and illusion-like images of both a unicorn and a deer were following her alongside dancing in their way, for the next few minutes or so.
The Ballroom doors though once opened, made Morgana jump with everything she was doing, instantly vanishing as Belle discreetly did too, to amuse Lumiere, as it was just the Triplets presenting Trinaza as she now wore a teal-colored ball gown-like dress that matched her hair slightly somehow, with the hybrid tugging at it in discomfort as even though it looked nice, it seems she didn't like it at all.
However, it was Cassie that made Morgana freeze briefly in place as Belle now deduced what her sister might prefer to her hidden worry, especially as to what others may think from catching a glimpse of a small tint to said little girl's cheeks as Cassie looked hesitant yet shy now, unlike her usual self.
Cassie now wore a ball-gown that went well with her hair, but it was a normal one that was poufy like hers or Belle's, and her hair was done in a spiraled-like hairstyle that was mixed with a gentle bob on top of her head, and she also wore earrings that were basic ones.
Morgana came over to her and led her friend away to talk slightly, and eventually, it was now nighttime. The servants got everything prepared as a piano was now in the Ballroom that Cassie somehow managed (unlike she normally does to her outfits, get them dirty), was still clean while she also aided the servants, like the Triplets, to the dance-like party The Beast planned for the night.
Though, Morgana was unlike everyone else was currently while deciding to at least see the Enchanted Rose for once while not touching it as Belle did, days earlier. Morgana secretly loved that as one of her favorite flowers alongside being one of few personal spots she likes, and from where she sang during Christmas Eve.
Morgana was also present in her gown when the little girl decided to venture to it, but before she did she implored The Beast kindly to stun him, by her finding out yet grudgingly nodded, to let her see it.
Staring at the pretty rose, Morgana now understood why Belle yearned to touch it, with The Beast warily glancing at her in case she does something to it, but also minor relief as Morgana was only a few inches away, and simply stood there.
"So this rose has always been like this Teddy?" This made Beast groan inwardly to himself since the nickname stuck with him from Morgana, yet answered anyways while carefully moving toward her with a hesitant smile also on his face, "Yes. Ever since she came. It is part of me, the servants, and the castle due to the very curse placed upon us." The Beast confessed in the end, recognizing how bright little girl somehow worked out it more than Belle which thankfully, he loved her for the current days they have been here, and even discovered Morgana as the little sibling he never had.
Nodding sadly at him, while glimpsing at how many petals were left while discovering that it was getting to the point of the other song she cherishes from the movie, glanced to The Beast to make him ponder this as well, "But… You learned things while under this spell, right, Teddy? From what you're saying, you regretted everything you did back then, but now wanted to change things more than your past self did."
"You seem to be wiser than you appear, Mary," Beast gently confided to her as the two now left the room and not seeing a petal that was already down made a clone due to a pair of green eyes within the room, as he decided a gift of sorts, and said petal changed into a rose-like pendant that also had a ruby-gem in the center of it since the pendant itself was mostly the flower-part, not the stem. Loki therefore with his magic attached it from distance, the girl's bag as a pin of sorts while secretly hoping his Godchild-By-Magic, loves it as he went to deal with a certain thunder god.
A few hours later after dinner, Morgana was now alone with both Mrs. Potts in the Ballroom alongside Cassie, since Will and the Triplets decided to not attend, which was odd, but headed to the Library as they wanted to look into something and eventually to the Den. Though Mrs. Potts was privately amused by the servant-stroller she uses to speed travel around the castle, at Morgana, as she seemed antsy while currently sitting in a chair also next to Cassie as she was humored yet had eyes of understanding since this, was like with her, their first big-person party.
"You need to relax Mary... Otherwise, you may drill into the floor from all your shaking you're doing." Cassie lightly quipped to ease her friend's nerves and made Morgana glance at her as her friend saw she was more nervous than she was. In admittance, Cassie has only been to small parties unlike this one, which will only host them, the servants, or anyone else within the castle.
"How come you're always ok when it comes to things like this, Cass?" Morgana now asked after by brief suggestion from Mrs. Potts, some small breaths to calm herself.
Cassie merely smirked and also posed while making Morgana briefly half-giggle in amusement at her friend's antics now, "I was just born that way, Mary. Everyone also needs a little chaos now and then, right?"
Nodding, they saw Lumiere and Cogsworth, alongside Chipana as unspecified to Morgana's small blush since she had gotten to know things well with the tiny teacup female, Cassie shot a minor glare-based stare of envy at the small object yet instantly plastered it on her face from Morgana then smiling at her then gazed to the doorway entrance to the Ballroom as they all saw both The Beast in his blue dress robes and Belle in her yellow ball gown while also styled, entered now with their arms linking.
Hearing the famed music now playing beside the piano also doing so automatically, Morgana and Cassie heard Mrs. Potts commence to sing the famed song. With Morgana intimately happy as well as enjoying herself as Belle seemed to be enjoying herself also while dancing with The Beast.
Mrs. Potts: "Tale as old as time. True as it can be, barely even friends~, then somebody bends unexpectedly. Just a little change, small to say the least. Both were a little scared. Neither one prepared, Beauty and The Beast."
While Belle and The Beast as he saw brief approval from both Lumiere and Cogsworth as they danced their waltz, Morgana was startled by Cassie's now bold move as she stood up and held out her hand while gently smiling at her friend, and Morgana's heart discreetly skipping a beat at this, "Would you… Care to dance Mary, as friends?"
Nodding shyly, Morgana got up and with amusement briefly by Belle and The Beast, as the two now began to dance in their way into their waltz while Mrs. Potts continued singing, secretly, like the servants, enjoying their master and the three girls presently enjoying themselves.
Mrs. Potts: "Ever just the same. Ever a surprise~. Ever as before, ever just as sure. As the sun will rise. Tale as old as time. Tune as old as the song. Bittersweet and strange, finding you can change, learning you were wrong."
While Morgana and Belle seemed to be in their world alongside their dance partners, a pair of red eyes looked through the window in a cloak at Cassie in approval alongside two others, before vanishing to deal with stuff, since they were confidentially pleased currently from Morgana's happy face.
Angeline although in her normal form, was with the two at the time, and simply just watched from where she was with a glance, before an idea and earlier getting permission to leave the castle for personal means, to aid the child, left in a minor flash.
Mrs. Potts: "Certain as the sun. Rising in the East. Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme, Beauty and The Beast. Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme, Beauty and The Beast~."
Mrs. Potts noticed her daughter who went to her after Morgana was offered to dance by Cassie looked tired as she gently nudged her only child slightly and expressed gently to her, "Off to the cupboard with you now, Chip. It's past your bedtime. Goodnight love." Chipana as she slipped and hopped out of the room now glanced briefly back in happiness at both couples while, at the same time, was secretly jealous of Cassie, for some reason, yet let it slide for now as she went away to the kitchens.
Morgana as she and Cassie were done, froze stiff as Cassie unexpectedly kissed Morgana on the cheek and giggled before expressing goodnight to her and heading to her room while leaving a still startled Morgana to now unknowingly place her left hand on her left cheek along with her heart briefly warmed-up, however, she then saw within moments that Belle and Beast began to head to the garden-like balcony they made as a third garden a few weeks ago that bloomed shortly, and connects to the outside part of the Ballroom, and decided to follow them quietly.
Morgana though, saw the sky was all clear around their area like they did as it was slightly the same sky that the child herself had sung of her feelings a few nights ago of how she truly felt. But she now overheard as well as watched, her sister and The Beast talk to each other, from her current hiding spot.
The Beast gazed at Belle as he knew then and now, that he was truly in love with her, and he decided to state a question kindly to her, and Belle now gazed at him in response, "Belle? Are you happy here with me?"
Though his excitement went away yet was still in place as he also saw Belle stare at him hesitantly yet had happiness in her eyes at The Beast, while answering the question, "Yes." But despite this, Belle, looked off into the distance as if, searching for something. Concerned truly for her, he now kindly implored her by making Belle also gaze at him, "What is it?"
Morgana felt slightly like she was, as the little girl was also concerned about their father since Belle looked half-desperate slightly while bringing him up to also prove Morgana's point, "If only I or Morgana could see our father for a small time while we stay here. It would ease mostly me, then her, to know if he's alright." More than you think, Big Sis. Morgana briefly thought within moments.
The Beast understood as Belle's parting with her father wasn't at all…. great within his terms, yet he had a rapid yet immediate idea now come to him, with Morgana, watching him look at her big sister from hidden disappointment to now, a mixture of both excitement and understanding while he also began while gently pulling a now confused Belle alongside him to what Morgana knew, his chambers, "There is a way."
Morgana then followed them as Cassie and the others were present in the Master's Den, as they weren't tired at the moment, and talking about things.
Though her stealth was now cut short as she accidentally knocked over a vase to also make the two now look in her direction and sighed, with Belle gently shaking her head while glancing at The Beast as if, she expected this.
With Morgana now following them, and into The Beast's Room as she witnessed him handing over the mirror while gently explaining it to her older sister, "This mirror will show you anything, anything you wish to see." Belle was about to hesitantly state something to said object, until it was taken from her hands gently yet quickly while also stunning them as to why, by Morgana.
"Mary, can I have it back please?" Belle firmly yet gently told the child who also at the same time, shook her head while they saw something like hesitation mixed with marvel in her orbs, as it would seem she has something to ask slightly more than Belle.
Before they could stop her, she asked her personal question that has been bugging her entire life, freezing them in place with mixed understanding yet wasn't at all prepared as to what now unfolded, "How… Did my parents die?" The mirror glowed and sparkled with green lighting that didn't harm the holder as within moments, both Belle and the child briefly turned away until she saw a scene begin to play before the not-ready child.
Within moments after it showed her within two minutes to spare as to what she asked, Morgana almost dropped it which Beast thankfully caught while witnessing Morgana sobbed now to herself at seeing their deaths by two men: One which was Tom Riddle Jr. or Voldemort using his snake-like form along with the wand on her father, and another was an armored man in pitch-black medieval-based armor while having glowing-amber eyes, took her mother's soul and disintegrated her body with her being present.
Beast and Belle, however, saw the two men before the image moments vanished, yet Belle then begged hesitantly still and despite realizing at this point how Morgana's parents were murdered in spell-like cold blood, held in her hope that nothing it would show, wouldn't be as bad as what the now silently-crying Morgana, asked. "I would like to see our father, please?"
The mirror did the same thing as before once again, and she froze in shock at discovering their father was lost within the same woods, from what she figured at least four or so miles away, from the castle, and was sick and coughing a lot.
Shocked as to what Belle as well as Morgana now saw while remembering her adoptive father would end up in this situation, yet still, the little girl cared for him like a true father within her heart. The Beast, however, saw their faces that concerned him as Belle began to state more-so to herself while glimpsing Morgana clutching onto her sister, "Papa. No, no. He's sick, he may be dying and he's all alone."
He then glanced at the rose since he saw it has not much left, yet sighed to himself (after deeply thinking about the situation) and declared, to then make Belle look at him in minor shock at this, "Then… You both should go to him."
Belle asked as if she wasn't hearing what he stated quite clearly now, asked in case she was wrong, "What did you say?" The Beast gazed at her in sadness in his eyes Morgana easily saw, as he then asserted to know it was happening, "I release you. You and your sister are no longer my prisoners." Morgana was still sad yet was also surprised to know she was a prisoner as this entire time, she thought she was free from that, and yet she also kept this to herself.
Belle was both surprised while being amazed, as the young woman remarked without knowing from her mouth, "You mean…. We're free?" The Beast simply nodded while expressing a single word in mixed sadness with compassion in his orbs and face, now, "Yes." Belle then looked kindly at Beast as she then expressed a gentle yet sincere thank you, to him.
Seeing the image of their father still out there in the woods, and knowing their father couldn't hear them at all yet Morgana despite her also understanding how her real mother and father died, wanted to comfort The Beast before they would leave. "Hold on, Papa. We're on our way."
Belle begins to leave yet stops as Morgana was about to fake-follow her sibling out of the room, yet saw Belle was going to give him the mirror back.
But to Morgana's knowing and Belle's shock once again, he refused to take it and gently states, with sadness and understanding, with Morgana seeing hope within his eyes go away slightly yet they also held acceptance within them, "Take it with you, so you'll always have a way to look back and remember me."
Belle gently nodded to him in sadness and began to leave once again with Morgana seeing him in sadness and depression as she was comprehending that he is giving up his life for her as he would soon (once she gazed at the rose), would soon be forever part of what she tried to recall the curse stating: A beast forevermore.
Belle amazed The Beast intimately though once again as she came back and touched his face kindly as if, a lover before without a word, she took off.
He saw Morgana remain and before he could even ask why she remained and knowing he freed her as well, he was astonished by the sudden act the little girl now done to him: She hugged him in kindness as like a sibling to one another, and started to make his heart warm slightly yet also in sadness due to knowing the two as well as the others, might end-up leaving also; though also surprised by the title the little girl now declared to him before quickly following her sibling, "Thank you Big Brother… Goodbye."
While Morgana took off, Cogsworth not comprehending anything that occurred, came into the room while also waddling and he looked to be impressed by their master as well as secretly proud, from what he was also hinting within his tone and waggling a metallic finger to The Beast since he was at this moment, facing the rose along with both of his paw-like hands on the table, "Well your highness. I must say everything is going just peachy. I knew you had it in you."
"I let her and her sister go," Beast started sadly to his servant while knowing now his chances are null and void of breaking the curse, yet he inwardly knew he did the right thing.
"Ha ha ha, yes. Splend-" Cogsworth began to state as he misheard his master state something pleasing, but froze and gazed at him in surprise now while also expressing in a shocking question as well, "You what? How could you do that?" The Beast didn't turn around yet stating with ease and with sadness still etched into his voice, "I had to."
Cogsworth though was still in shock but was now amazed as to what he was hearing, yet he asked one more time to his master, "Yes, but why?" Beast then glanced at Cogsworth as the servant saw emotions running through his master's eyes and face, one of which he was truly shocked to see yet he also heard it still in his voice as he was talking about the woman, "Because I love her."
An hour later with Morgana and the others, including Belle, were getting ready to quickly leave as the Triplets and both Will and Cassie were taking Appletrot, despite her now being pregnant due to Phillipe being the father, back into town.
Morgana thought to shock her sibling that she wanted to go with Cassie and recalled what her sibling experienced as she still now after some time getting around, looked haunted yet Cassie comforted the girl, let them take her sibling as their horse would only be able to carry two at a time at most.
The servants were present, however, as they got around with Morgana and her friends leaving as Belle still got around and went to get Phillipe, all in one area right now as the clock then told them the sad-yet-surprising news.
All but Cogsworth heard them all expressed as one to him in shock, "He did what?!"
Cogsworth confessed sadly to his friends and fellow servants easily as he was telling the truth, "Yes, I'm afraid it's true." Chip looked stunned yet asked knowing this, she might not see either Belle or Morgana ever again, "They're going away?" Lumiere, however, claimed in both disappointment and sadness at this news, with Janine wordlessly agreeing with him as he also gestured it briefly, "But he was so close."
Mrs. Potts understood more than they did while also noting it to them as well, "After all this time, he's finally learned to love." Lumiere now realizing this, looked back at them with hope renewed on his face while the adult objects also didn't see Chipana sneak off, "That's it then. That should break the spell." Mrs. Potts disagreed with him on that while also stating in fact or reminded them of how that curse worked, "But that isn't enough. She has to love him in return." Cogsworth realizing this, declared sadly to his comrades in agreement as they began to head away from the hallway-like area, at the same time, "Now it is too late."
The Beast sadly stared as his unofficial little sister left with the Triplets, and the other two children, as well as Morgana's two pets and unofficial little sibling with Morgana wearing the same outfit she arrived in alongside her bag on the first night she stayed, and within moments, after they were out of his sight, he saw Belle soon galloping now into the woods as he then within moments, roared into the wind as it echoed the sad yet mixed anger within it.
Sadness as he will miss them and yet hoped they would return, and anger as he knew he would end up a beast officially soon, due to the spell.
Belle, as it has been at least twelve or so minutes, went all over the location and was secretly thankful to not run into any wolves, "Papa?" Belle called out repeatedly this entire time until she finally encountered him with a gasp as he was out cold on the ground, with some snow on him.
Meanwhile, with Morgana and the others, Cassie and Will, from seeing the state their friend was in, decided to stay behind and let the Triplets head home, with reluctance that is, and not discerning that LeFou was kinda surprised they were with the child yet kept it to himself as within twenty or so minutes later, Belle arrived with a cold Maurice in her arms, as he then heard shuffling and things happening inside.
Throughout this entire time, LeFou was disguised as a slightly-shivering snowman and was relieved to go tell Gaston that they returned, which he quickly got up, and done so.
An hour later, Maurice began to stir as despite this, Morgana, was secretly happy to be home yet scared at the same time, as she comprehended the movie to what she then recalled now, was soon going to end yet didn't know what would happen since she was involved, and also comprehending that both Will and Cassie, was not supposed to be here within their home.
But once she saw her father beginning to wake up as Belle replaced a washcloth on his forehead, with him softly asking while he saw her first before mentioning her as well, she shoved it to the side, "Belle? Morgana?"
Belle gently shushed him as she now helped him up slightly due to him feeling slightly better and seeing like the three children as he was astounded that the two younger Sundale children were in his home as well, "It's alright Papa, we're both here now." He laughed partially when he was being licked by Demi, and wondering where or to what his mind thought of, a dog came from and was also inwardly shocked at seeing a passed out girl that had animal features, presently sleeping in his chair nearby and also glimpsing that his bed was brought down to the living room.
Maurice then hugged them both gently yet firmly as Morgana was secretly enjoying the hug as she too, like Belle, missed him, and despite understanding what is about to occur, "I thought I would never see my girls ever again." Belle expressed she missed him as well, with Morgana simply nodding in agreement without words as she felt she might cry if she did.
He then pulled away from mainly Belle, with the two other children silently gazing on as they stood nearby, and glancing at her while expressing his now questioned yet flabbergasted tone to Belle, "But the Beast... How did you both escape?" He was confused by the expression on his elder daughter's face as she answered him honestly, distracting him at the same time in disbelieve, "He let us both go, particularly the Triplets, and both Will and Cassie as they came… somehow to the castle."
Seeing the guilty gazes on the two children's faces, he sighed and gave them a glance for later yet asserted his curious question to Belle primarily, with having half-disbelieve in his tone, "That horrible beast?" He didn't unlike the children did, as Demi got down and went to her master sensing something wrong with Morgana soon holding her wolf-pup in her arms while gently petting her, "But he's different, now. It's like he changed somehow." Belle remarked in puzzlement, yet Morgana and the two children knew why as they figured it out before they did: Belle and The Beast were in love with each other.
The bag that Belle brought alongside her then flipped open as it was on the bed, with not only the gifted mirror coming out, but to amuse Morgana partially, was Chipana who almost looked dizzy, yet she soon recovered and stated to them as if she wasn't at all intruding, "Hi!"
Belle secretly entertained yet worried as to what the teacup's mother might be thinking right now, still expressed to them all but more so to herself, "Oh, a stowaway." Maurice, however, was kinda surprised yet happy to see the object as he now held the female teacup in his hands while starting to get Chip to stare at him briefly, "Why hello there, little girl. I didn't think I would see you ever again."
Beaming at him at this small reunion, she now turned to Belle and asked while making Belle hesitate as she realized the teacup might be the same age as her sister, yet already knew what to slightly state back though. "Belle, why'd you go away? Don't you like us anymore?" "Oh, Chipana... Of course, I do it's just-" they all now froze with them seeing to question as to why Morgana was abruptly tensed-up, yet knowing Belle must answer it as Maurice looked to her in minor confusion like her friends as she whispered a 'No', or 'Don't open it'.
When Belle opened it, she was alarmed to see a mob of sorts outside in their front yard, and in front of her at this very moment at the front door, was Monsieur D'Arque.
Belle didn't like the man as he placed not only truly insane people into the building he owns as he does his… tests to aid them better but was greedy at most times, yet she feared now within her heart as to his reasoning, alongside this crowd; as to why he was here.
"May I help you?" Belle implored hesitantly to the man before her with him also glimpsing Morgana and to his surprise, the two missing Sundale children yet we're also told only recently by the Triplets, from a few villagers, they merely took a trip somewhere. Despite this, the man was on greedy-like business, and declared firmly to her in his neutral-toned voice, "I have come to collect your father, you two."
"Our father?" Belle remarked/questioned him in alarm while Morgana saw greed in his orbs, yet also saw the man pull away and was confused as despite what he works as, what the wagon truly noted as it was in French, and she was still learning on French words from the minor lessons she was privately taking from both Cogsworth and Lumiere (after they found out she could read and write English, but not read and write French). "Oh don't worry... We'll take good care of him."
"Our father isn't crazy." Belle firmly told D'Arque as from what Morgana recalled of him getting paid by Gaston, he understood fully well yet didn't care at the same time. Still, she came out as well as Belle, with LeFou from parting in front of the crowd, reminding them of what occurred a while back, "He was raving like a lunatic. We all heard him didn't we!" The crowd responded with a 'Ya' in response, to make Morgana worried.
"No, I won't let you." Belle claimed with firm eyes at the D'Arque who appeared to still not care at all, as Maurice with the aid of the two Sundale children resulted in the crowd as well as Gaston who was also beside the home now, to be astonished by this turn of events, expressed in question as he too wondered what was going on to his eldest daughter by name, "Belle?"
LeFou glimpsing the old man now began to ask him, making Maurice gaze at him in response, with LeFou also exaggerating his words mixed with the question to the crowd aloud, "Ah Maurice. Tell us again old man, just how big was the beast?" Morgana also decided to aid her friends as secretly she was glad her pet and not-adopted-yet little sister, was currently inside still and hopefully asleep as Morgana didn't want them involved for the things to come, would be happening soon.
Struggling to move due to how weak he still was, he was at least able to be supported by the three children while he also began to move, with him stating his words aloud to the crowd once more, "Well, he was… That is… Enormous. I'd say at least eight, no more like ten feet." The crowd then laughed at him for this while Morgana saw the Asylum Owner wordlessly signaling to the two henchmen he has under his pocket, to come over and grab her father.
"You don't get much crazier than that." LeFou declared to the crowd who was still laughing at him without believing him, "It's true I tell you!" Maurice remarked aloud in honesty while he was quick to get a small gasp from him as the two guard-like men, grabbed him, yet they failed to keep Morgana away as she kept trying to pull her father from them, despite them trying to remove the girl from her father's arm she was holding tightly to. "Take him away!" LeFou shouted as they were almost near the wagon.
Cassie was instantly worried, grabbed her brother, and began to quickly aid their friend, as they too failed yet kept at it and tried to get Maurice out of the two adult's firm-like grip as they kept going to the wagon. "Let go of me!" Maurice firmly contended while watching his youngest still latched onto him, her tears falling down her eyes in both frustration and sadness as Morgana still kept trying to free him of the guard's grip.
Gaston decided to make his move as he began to head over to Belle since she quickly went to the D'Arque and pleaded to him as half-guilt formed into his heart from what he saw on Belle's face, "No, you can't do this!" The Asylum owner merely shrugged her off and kept walking away. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Poor Belle… It's a shame about your father," Gaston asserted in fake pity yet inwardly was cheering himself on as his plan was working while making her briefly jump and coming beside her now, with Belle for once gazing at him in small hope while also declaring, as if he understood her, "You know he isn't crazy, Gaston. Please help us."
He briefly looked to be thinking and yet stated to her now, making Belle puzzled within moments afterward, with him also leaning slightly to make sure she hears him and Morgana, to amuse the crowd alongside Cassie, kicked one of the guards in the balls while she also bit the other's hand briefly, "I might be able to clear up this little misunderstanding, if…" he purposely trailed off as Belle questioned him as to why he didn't directly aid her within moments, "If what?"
Belle was however stunned and half-enraged by him by the mere suggestion within moments, "If you marry me." Still angered, Belle expressed in disbelieve along with alarm also written on her face, "What?"
"One little word, Belle. That's all it takes." Gaston then told her, secretly proud of himself as his plan was working out as hoped, which quickly changed to annoyance now from Belle's partially upset-based answer, "Never!" Almost snarling yet holding himself back, however, he began to state while moving away and trying to also play hard-to-get, from the now distraught young woman, "Have it your way."
Maurice though proud from what he heard slightly from Belle, was concerned as one of the guards decided enough was enough and slapped his youngest child soon stunning both Belle and the crowd, to the ground and with Morgana instantly tearing up with briefly glowing eyes that held magic, and Gaston was the only one to see, yet hatred showed on her face at said guard while at the same time, silently crying to herself, and yet her adopted father states again after so many times, "Let go of me!"
Realizing she has the Enchanted Mirror as a gift, Belle quickly ran back inside as Cassie helped Morgana up with her still glaring at the two guards as they were trying to force the now-struggling-to-get-in Maurice Evergreen, into the wagon so they can shut and lock it, and within moments, Belle returns with the mirror itself. "Our father isn't crazy, and I can prove it: Show me 'The Beast'!" She shouted in desperation as within moments, the mirror to the crowd and everyone else, including a surprised Gaston, showed a still roaring yet depressed version of The Beast as the sound also echoed slightly from the mirror as well.
Now coming down, with the Asylum guards letting the old man go yet Maurice also stomped on the one guard's foot, harshly (as it was the one who caused Morgana to fall and get slapped) before heading over and comforting her like Cassie, since Will quickly went into town by the suggestion of her, to get the Triplets.
"Is it dangerous?" A random female asked aloud within the crowd as Belle was now near them and the mirror still showing the depressed Beast along with the young woman not only trying to reassure her but the crowd since they looked tensed, "Oh, no. He'd never hurt anyone." Not realized to her as Belle spoke, Gaston now came walking to her side, "I know he looks vicious, but he's kind and gentle. He's my friend." Grabbing Belle to make her face him, he stated firmly in accusation as if he realized something within moments to her tone of words, to the crowd, "If I didn't know any better, I say you have feelings for this monster."
Realizing something as she understood everything, that Gaston somehow planned all this, Belle took a few steps back and stated while doing so along with a firm stare of not only hurt but for once in her life had minor rage on her face, mixed with her accusation at this turn of events, "He's no monster, Gaston. You are!"
Maurice alongside Cassie saw Morgana gazing at this, and without saying a word, she quickly went over to the two as despite her father and friend to either state wait or come back, and grabbed the mirror before he could.
He snarled at Morgana while forcibly grabbing her wrist, as the three grunts came over and held Belle back, and she was in shock at her sister's actions, yet realization was now on Morgana's features as she was now fearing her life since he ripped the mirror from her hands, yet still held onto her.
Gaston then declared while also motioning to the crowd and to make them soon agree to him as well, "She's as crazy as the old man. The Beast will take off with your children!" Morgana winced as her right wrist was now hurting from his firm grip on her, as he continued his words, with Belle stating a 'No' to him, at this. Though to surprise Morgana, after Gaston declared firstly to throw the three and not her, into the cellar, as she heard her sibling tell them all to let them out, he finally began to sing alongside the crowd firstly while placing her into LeFou's hands, with Morgana fearing for her life right now, as she must have changed things at her sudden actions.
Man 1: "We are not safe until he's dead."
Man 2: "He'll come stalking us at night!
Woman 1: "Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite!"
Man 3: "He'll wreak havoc on our village if we let him wander free~."
Morgana saw Gaston move and dance around while also singing his chosen words to this song, fearfully wondering as the man mostly stared at her with both hatred and interest, mixed, in his eyes. He although, grabbed a torch from a villager and while singing, tossed it into a haystack that was thankful, not near their home.
Gaston: "So it's time to take some action, boys. It's time to follow me~!"
He then began to prance like on what Morgana assumed as she also struggled into the firm-yet-strong-like grip of LeFou's hands around both of her wrists, as unspecified to her, her power or magic, was slowly growing yet didn't show at all yet, due to her increased fear.
Gaston: "Through the mist, through the woods, through the darkness and the shadows... It's a nightmare but one exciting ride."
Gaston instead of chasing LeFou knew he was done, chased to her surprise, the family goat as when he acted like an animal, ran from him with ease while also singing still.
Gaston: "Say a prayer, then we're there at the drawbridge of a castle, and there's something truly terrible inside~.
Gaston now came over and exaggerated to his sidekick, LeFou, while he still held Morgana in his now fearful grip.
Gaston: "It's a beast. He's got fangs, razor-sharp ones. Massive paws. Killer claws for the feast. Hear him roar, see him foam, but we're not coming home~ until he is dead, kill The Beast!"
Morgana currently, knew Belle, Cassie, and her father watching this from the partial view of the now locked cellar/basement. She heard their dialog within briefly before being tugged while Gaston expressed while also gesturing to her, stunning the fact as when he forcibly poked her hard, they saw her aura briefly before it vanished and the sky suddenly boomed while a green thunderbolt hit the exact haystack that was on fire, and the flames themselves went from regular to green. Belle went wide-eyed like the rest from what they saw and yet, Morgana was fearing for her life, truly, "She is also the cause of all the incidents we have been experiencing within the past month, and normalcy when she wasn't at all here. I will use this child as bait for The Beast, and when he is cornered, I will kill The Beast! Who's with me!"
Now being tied up by him after the crowd states the "I am or I do" words, and on the same horse as Gaston now while staring sorrowfully down as she understood she might be involved with harming The Beast or worse, or anyone else that might come to harm from the currently insane-person she is now riding with as Morgana also ignored the rest of the song while in town… until they were in the woods and forced to listen as they began to cut trees down to make old-fashioned, log-rams.
Mob: "Through the mist. Through the woods, where within the haunted castle there is something that is lurking you don't see every day~! It's a beast, one as tall as a mountain. We won't rest 'til he's good and deceased~! Sally forth~, tally ho~! Grab your sword~ and your bow~! Praise the Lord here we go~! Let's kill The Beast!"
Meanwhile back at the Evergreen place, Belle was using a stick to try and lift the heavy board that was placed to not let them out, and the three fearfully worried over Morgana since she saw within Gaston's eyes not only something off, but from what he plans to use her sister as bait.
Belle from recalling the past encounters between them was utter hostility and hatred that the young woman now fearfully acknowledged, from him to Morgana.
"Papa this is my entire fault that we're in this mess… What are we going to do?" Belle sadly states with a tear of worry for not only The Beast as Belle has to get out of this area, and promptly go warn him, but the young woman has to possibly save Morgana from Gaston.
Maurice gently calmed down Belle with Cassie trying other things to try and lift the door. Inside, however, Chipana saw the whole thing like the wolf-pup and Trinaza. Though they all got the same idea-like glance from seeing the working invention.
Back with Morgana, she solely tuned the mob out as she has no chance to word out anything, from the not-tight-yet-firm gag on her mouth.
Nonetheless, she froze as Gaston asserted quietly in a partial-whisper that only he and Morgana could only hear and now staring at him in revulsion mixed with fear as the man touched her thigh, in a half caress, "If you weren't so important, and older, I might have used you as my bride instead of Belle, child." Tearing up by comprehending what he meant as the male now touched her special place only briefly while getting the hint to what he may be still planning from his gaze within those insane orbs of his, the child began to try and get off yet winced as he yanked her ropes, harshly, to stay in place.
Staring upwards in utter fear, Morgana saw the servant's staring down at them and then saw her fearful-panic-based gaze and hopefully they could rescue her from this man's insane plans to have his way with her before… whatever he plans to do, to which unknown to her or anyone within the village, he has done so for the last few years or so on other girls, while out either expedition, hunting, or at brothels.
Meanwhile, after the servants realized an invasion was happening, all but Cogsworth gathered in the Entrance Hall and blocked the trying-to-be-barged double doors, now. But with Mrs. Potts, she was currently at the Master's Room as she also saw him in a depressed state, yet also expressed to him, in urgency, "Pardon me, Master-" "Leave me in peace."
Shocked yet understood since he was depressed and sad, she still tried to coax him into action, "But sir, we're under attack! What should we do Master!" Now realizing this yet not caring right now due to his state of mind currently, he expressed easily to her and to make her sadly leave afterwords to maybe aid the others in protecting the castle, as he was still lightly touching the rose jar while expressing this, "It doesn't matter now, just let them come."
Now with the gathered objects, they were still barricading the double doors, they heard the chant of 'Kill The Beast', from the mob. "This isn't working!" Lumiere exclaimed to the few objects holding down like he was, the doors as soon he realized they will still barge in. "But Lumiere, we must still do something!" Janine told him in worry yet they all saw him get a sudden idea now while also stating it aloud, "Wait, I know!"
Outside as the few men holding the log were still bashing into the doors with LeFou encouraging them on, Morgana was now standing with Gaston as he decided as she tried to run when she got off, to keep her close. Though they stumbled slightly yet stayed standing strong when the doors unexpectedly opened now, to confuse everyone but her.
Now entering slowly, Morgana saw all the very objects that will be used to fight against the male villagers. Yet, she was only partially amused as her fear was still present as the child was once again painfully tugged by the man, when LeFou picked up Lumiere, he shouted aloud to astonish everyone as they, the objects, started attacking, "Now!"
Back once again at the Evergreen household, Belle and Maurice saw to perplex Cassie as she strangely felt the urge to be away from the doors instead of like them, see what was happening, and it was proven right as both Belle and Maurice quickly moved away to only see his invention go right into the doors and smash/chop them open with ease. With it also being destroyed.
"You guys have to try this thing," Chipana phrased to make them laugh briefly yet was serious as they began to head out with the Triplets now arriving with fear as they heard from a matron nearby of a missing child that went with Gaston a while-back, and feared for Morgana after finding the lost and nearly-starved child who couldn't recall her name, sadly, but everything else, yes. She was raped by him alongside being a captured slave, like the other girls before her as the child was also the only one to make it out alive.
Most of the town, however, didn't believe this, as she was currently with Doctor Brown in healing as well as being his charge, for now, declared her unfit in the mind yet the doctor simply ignored that as the former slave, was in her right mind yet was sadly forced to forget her name (2).
After learning this from the triplets as they were briefly told what cured here, their movement quickly go went faster since Belle took Philippe while the others rode once again on Appletrot and her cart, making her go fast as she too, wanted to see the castle since being slightly spoiled, she loved it there more-so than her stables back in the village.
While Morgana missed the objects as they fought the villagers, she was forcibly tugged by Gaston while he also used one arm to have his crossbow at the ready, with the man sneaking her away from the crowd and into the empty hallways to locate The Beast's room.
"You won't get away with this butthead." Morgana tried to insult him, as to the man's ire, but the gag came loose during the movement of his forced speed-walking alongside his stealth skills. Wincing by his rough handling of her, he firmly expressed to the child with something she didn't like in his eyes, yet gulped to be silent now, "If you do not shut up, I will deal with you first before I do that to the monster."
Back in Beast's Room, he was unaware as after seven or so minutes, Gaston while still dragging Morgana with him, finally found his chambers.
Noticing the child's eyes widen at this, Gaston smirked as he tied the rope from her wrists, since they are longer than they should have been, to his waist as if from personal experience, and then moved while also dragging her.
Gaston then knocked his crossbow to aim at The Beast with Morgana's gag placed back onto her so the child couldn't shout a warning to him, yet when he saw her with Gaston while at the same time, the child also saw his eyes widen in immediate fury mixed with surprise as the arrow then quickly hit the same spot as long ago on his shoulder, and soon cut the child loose as he went for the bigger game as Morgana began to now struggle in her bindings as she mumble-like cursed to herself, as both Beast and Gaston began to fight outside in the rain that the little girl saw, briefly.
Outside though, Gaston cornered Beast as, despite his angered state of the way of discovering his little sister was here, he was still in a depressed state of not detecting Belle at all. "HAHAHAHA, Get up! Get up and fight!" Gaston then gestured to him while expressing or mocking him now, "What's the matter Beast? Too kind and gentle to fight back?"
The Beast ignored him as Gaston walks off and breaks easily part of the foundation to possibly knock him over the edge until his eyes widen at hearing a voice he longed for, a voice he thought he wouldn't hear ever again, "No!" It was Belle and the others as she was on the male horse staring at him.
"Belle," The Beast gently remarked to himself in minor shock as instead of a foundation, to Morgana's abrupt horror, saw him switching back to his crossbow and knocking an arrow while the child heard her sister declaring something as Morgana's mind was only focused on one thing: Protecting her big brother.
However, to stun the few that witnessed this as Belle, to confuse Beast as to why she stared horrified until he turned around and saw Gaston easily in shooting distance to when he also fired, they didn't see a brief glow from Morgana as she yelled a muffled 'No', to herself. She then unknowingly teleported by her magic to then horrify The Beast and also stun the hunter: She took the hit for The Beast, right to her mid-left-side as the child then fell to the ground.
Belle alongside Maurice saw this and with her promptly charged into the castle, firstly, on the horse, then into it on foot to the Beast's Room, in haste.
Tossing the crossbow away, Gaston re-grabbed the foundation once again while The Beast took the gag out of the injured child's mouth, and then remarked in feared disbelief to her while also expressing it as well as his eyes filled with the mixed awareness also, "Why would you do that? Why?" He froze at her simple answer as the arrow also made her cough blood to then worry Beast slightly and despite her truthful words with sincerity in her eyes, at him, "I had… to. You're my Big Brother. And family sticks to-together… No matter what."
Touched yet concerned by her coughing to realize the arrow was true to kill, he needed to treat her fast- The Beast roared in unexpected anger as he was then whacked by the foundation within Gaston's hands and not caring the slightest as he then began to fight once again with The Beast, but away from the child.
Belle then arrived and saw to her horror as she went to gently get the arrow out, realized it was in deep, of her sister's state. Maurice then came upon after huffing and puffing and also realizing the state of Morgana's body, quickly came over with Belle staring at her father while having determination in her orbs to make him ask yet already knew what she might be planning, "What do you plan to do Belle?"
"Telling Gaston to back off Papa, that's what," Belle states to her father for once in anger and sadness to him, with him simply nodding in wordless agreement as Belle took off to a possible location to maybe get their attention or more-so The Beast's, while Maurice now also tries to keep his injured daughter from bleeding to death.
Meanwhile, with the current fight between The Beast and pedo- I mean Gaston, as Beast decided to hide and attack within the gargoyles they have on the roof with Gaston ripping another part of the foundation and breaking a statue by mistake, due to the rain going briefly through the hunter's eyes. "Come out and fight!" While going through the gargoyles and looking and also not detecting The Beast emerges after the next comment he declared in half-rage to him, "Were you in love with her, Beast? Did you honestly think she wants you when she had someone like me?"
The Beast then after fighting some more from a comment to enrage him further, grabbed the hunter by his neck and tossed him onto the roof nearby briefly before grabbing him once again by the neck, and he now held him over the edge as the view is a waterfall-like cliff down below.
Now truly and honestly fearing for his life, Gaston for once begins to beg the enraged Beast while also gripping his neck as well, "Put me down. Put me down. Please, don't hurt me! I'll do anything! Anything!"
When he heard this plea, Beast recalled Morgana yet knew said arrow was accidental but true to only kill him, but his rage then subsided to recall what would Belle do in this situation, and compassion briefly shows on his face at the hunter as he moved back and firmly stated; to shock the man he could talk slightly, "Get out." He then tossed Gaston onto the roof behind him.
Above him on the nearby balcony, Belle stated in relief in her eyes as her plans to tell Gaston off were forgotten now at discovering he was alright, "Beast!" Hearing her with ease with his eyes lit with renewed hope, he stated her name at the same time, "Belle!"
The Beast then began to climb the tower if you all seen, King Kong-style slightly, up the tower area he was at to get to her within easy reach.
Once he reached the balcony while not at all realizing behind him was Gaston, following with a dagger in his right hand with a dark-look also on his face, at him, and The Beast hangs off the side with him and Belle touching hands as looks with passion not only entered their eyes but showed by both sound from his words and face and with Beast also touching Belle's face gently, at the same time, while she leaned into his touch, "Belle? You came back!"
He then startled her yet realize with quick horror, Gaston shoved the dagger with precise aim, onto The Beast's back with blood coming out and it looked like he was going to do so again until they froze at glimpsing a pissed-off Death near the hunter within the air, and staring coldly at him while firmly declaring in an empowered version of her voice, "You are doomed to what you have done… Goodbye!" With that, she shoved him off the roof as she then turned into a mist and headed to Morgana's location, with Belle also hearing Gaston fall to his death.
Pulling Beast onto the balcony now, with her gently laying him on the floor, the two didn't see the objects rush into the area in shock at the site of their master. "You came back," Beast stated to Belle with her staring at him in feared realization as she soon guessed to her sudden fear: He was dying from the way he was breathing yet began to speak to him still, "Of course, I came back. I couldn't let them… Oh, this is my entire fault. If only I'd gotten here sooner."
The Beast had bleary eyes as he knew he was nearing his end soon, and declared in slight pain to make Belle shake her head no to him in disagreement, "Maybe it's better this way."
"Don't talk like that. You'll be alright. We're together now. Everything's going to be fine. You'll see." Belle gently told The Beast and despite realizing from his labored breathing it wasn't meant to be true at all, he knew she fearfully and regretfully guessed as the objects merely watched on, "At least I got to see you one… last… time." While he spoke, he weakly placed his paw-like hand on her left face, which Belle gently grabs it also.
But to her horror, he was now gone as his pulse was also gone as his eyes closed and his head fell back.
Quickly placing her hands to her mouth in sad/horror, she couldn't believe this could happen at all… Not to him.
Crying now, she didn't see the last rose-petal slowly falling in slow motion, since the balcony was ironically in the chambers as at the same time, she confesses her true feelings to him out loud as well as heartbreak, with also love in her tone, "No, No! Please! Please! Please don't leave me! I love you!" The last petal then finally fell, as she declared it before it could land.
The servants beholding that their master was dead, began to sadly leave yet froze as they saw a familiar person who shed from the Enchantress Form, to Lady Hecate herself, as also a simple flick of her wrist (in expectancy) she then teleported to deal with Hades on trying to get Morgana's Soul from the Fates while forcing their hand upon themselves, into his underworld... Though, she would be astonished to learn of something extra as well which way, later on, would reveal to the others at finding out.
Back with Belle though, she was still sobbing onto her confessed lover's corpse while the rain continue to fall.
Suddenly, without her noticing yet the servants do, a single beam of light first landed that slowly followed by a second, a third, and so forth Belle saw this in astonishment as the fog began to soon develop due to whatever she sadly wondered, was going on.
Belle decided to back away as to her astonishment once again the light now focused on The Beast's stilled form as he was then wrapped up by the fog into a blanket of sorts somehow, and he began to change as the curse was lifted, wherein specific parts of him glowing due to the spell breaking, and when done, he landed on his side yet shortly woken up and was amazed to see he was now normally human once again before turning and she saw a human male that looked like the fusion of both the king and queen in the room's painting, with the same blue-eyes Beast had.
Belle gave him a mysterious look now as it is The Beast back to normal, with him coming over to her yet staying in place once she clearly could see him, then gently grabbed her while also stating in kindness, "Belle! It's me!" Continuing to gaze at him though, and after staring right into his eyes, she knew without a doubt now, with her realizing this while also expressing it as well, "It is you!"
They then inched closer to each other as they then closed their eyes, and then finally, kissed when they did this, fireworks from the spell cast on the castle and the servants were now officially broken, and they then changed back into their human-like forms as well as everything on that scene (3).
Though realization took place as they were still in love, they recalled both their horrors and the difficulty of the servants until they quickly went, to Maurice and Morgana's location.
Once there, the Ex-Objects were appalled to find, and then make both Belle and Adam look on in fear as Maurice guarded over his youngest child against Lady Death herself as she seemed amused at his actions yet they both saw them now entering with her also remarking aloud as if it was obvious, and she was displeased by his actions, "Belle: Tell the father to please step aside, so I can try to get the arrow out of your unconscious sister as my twin is trying to bargain with Hades to try and not take your sister's soul."
That froze both the newly-made couple out of their current fear, and into a new one as Morgana did look paler now than she did before, with her breathing also sluggish, yet she was still doing so.
"Papa," Maurice gazed yet saw worry and fear, mixed with love to the man next to her to which he narrowed his eyes briefly, yet was stunned by his eldest daughter's next choice of words while paling and gazing at a now amused Death, "Please let Lady Death tend to Mary… As she is her guardian slightly, I think?" Belle glanced to Death unsurely as to what relation she was, who shrugged at this.
Maurice backed up slightly, while still being humored at how her father was acting to her, yet he falls to the ground in shock by Death's words, and the servants despite being shocked at who this was, sweatdropped as they did. "It's more in terms…. Soulmate. All due to what she will eventually become in her later years, Belle Evergreen. Though when My Mistress will eventually seek out what she prefers in later years, there will be those that will see it as wrong."
Death then bent a knee, and gently grabbed onto the arrow while channeling a silver-black aura of sorts into it, then without effort and blood, the arrow came out while also healing the wound, however, to her dismay, it left an arrow-like scar, but it was barely there.
"Morgana's… Soulmate?" Maurice asked slowly in bewilderment with Death easily cracking between her two first fingers, the arrow as it decayed and went into the wind which also gently blew.
Death glanced away from them at first, then right at them directly to make them freeze as her eyes were glowing blood-red in firmness mixed with warmth, "Yes. The Mistress I know will love me as well as her other soulmates," she then got up gently while still gazing at them, and her voice went softer as her eyes then were no-longer glowing, yet looked red, still, "But as she has declared within my hearing: Family to you. You may get… benefits eventually as well as you, Maurice." She stared at the old man at the end before snapping her fingers, and an odd portal that felt both warm yet cold now showed as it was pitch-black with the silver-like mist coming out of it.
However, what she next declared stunned the two Evergreen's with Adam in half-understanding yet comforted Belle as she was in relief mixed with surprise by this news as they didn't expect it from an entity like Death as she prepared to enter the vortex, with ease, and staring at them before doing so with a smirk on her features. "My twin has negotiated with the man I mentioned, but know this: Morgana may have to do something in return. A certain someone's soul that was given to him via a ritual, and was held back in her original world as payment from the rest of the left-over darkness within the scar she has. Though, my payment is that you may indeed see your mother, Miss Evergreen, very soon… While alive... To my dismay, you have earned it by taking care of My One. Farewell, as we will meet again later on."
And just like that, she left with the vortex sucking in wind, briefly, before vanishing in a briefly heard popping sound.
Maurice, Belle's, and Adam's attentions were soon drawn to Morgana as Cassie and the others finally came up, alongside Chipana (who was the same height now as the mentioned child, with dirty-blonde colored hair with light-blue eyes, chipped-teeth in the middle, and looked like the same age as her, with her when she gets older by looking cute, to be a knockout in her teen years. She also wore mainly plain clothing for little girls that serve within the castle, and shoes just like Maurice (the other servants looked like they are in the movie at the near end if you're wondering, look it up if confused), when they saw her moan while sluggishly-moving.
"Wh-What happened?" Morgana blearily expressed while blinking to see better as she was in half-pain, currently, and Belle and the two girls aided her by standing now to which Cassie blushed with Chipana giving her a glance in minor envy as Morgana accidentally yet almost knocked themselves down to her being dizzy as well, but regained her standing while shaking her head.
Being told she almost died indeed alarmed the child, from her sister, as Maurice gently hugged his alright youngest child.
However, when she saw the servants as well as both Prince Adam now, and even Chipana to make her tint as she does to Cassie, as well as the castle, she groaned while in her father's shirt while acknowledging to make them amused by her mood now, "I missed something good, didn't I?"
Time passed once again as it was a few days later and to what Morgana knew, be near the end of the movie yet after that, she didn't know as she was getting around as mostly everyone was within the Ballroom, since it was currently her and her big sister getting around.
Maurice was also aiding her soon-to-be Brother-In-Law she remembered.
The two were currently within the room where they once shared, and then Belle stayed mostly within the East Wing, of the now uncursed castle.
Morgana stared at herself in the mirror as she saw she was once again wearing that dress that was left upon her bed a while back, as well as seeing Belle now wearing that yellow gown which she still thinks went well with her older sister. Morgana also sighed as she was when she gazed at herself while brushing her styled hair that was like a braided bun with a ponytail at the end, out of her face as a few stray hairs were to annoy her, near her eyes, yet that wasn't how she felt at the moment.
Belle heard as well as noticed her little sister looking not only to be nervous as she would be within a lot of people's views like she would be since she, too, was, but she also saw minor fear within her orbs and came over to her. "You ok Mary?"
Sighing to herself briefly, Morgana, Belle gently saw to have an awareness now at her sister, and seeing the doubt within them as when Belle and Adam do eventually get married, Maurice and she would also be part of a royal family, also making the child a princess slightly in the eyes to that as well. "I'm not sure I can go through with this, Big Sis."
Now sitting next to her little sister, Belle one-armed hugged her sibling to make Morgana glance at her halfway as Belle gently told her in a firm voice that amazed Morgana, with hope and pride mixed into it while at the same time, trying to encourage the child as well, "You will do fine Mary. Besides, as long as we're together, as well as Papa and the others. Nothing can happen to us at all, ok?"
Now nodding slightly with a small smile, Morgana and Belle began to get ready to join the others within the Ballroom with the child still unnerved due to understanding it will be crowded with random people, mixed with the villagers, and servant-turned-humans.
An hour later, Morgana was sitting alone presently as she did dance a few times while also watching her sister dancing with Adam... She just felt out-of-place yet intimately was happy how things turned out in the end, but she jumped as she then saw Lumiere and Cogsworth go past her while fighting, to make the child simply shake her head.
Morgana then heard a cough near her right, and turned and saw it was both Cassie and Chipana; who were dressed for the occasion with Cassie wearing the same thing on Christmas yet Chipana's was similar but in an ivory color. She was startled, yet hesitantly accepted their offered hands when they asked her to dance.
Now dancing alongside her sister and Adam and with the two girls, she imagined or thought she saw her parent's ghostly forms like in the locket, looking at her from within the crowd in pride and happiness for her before they vanished.
While they were all now distracted by dancing, three certain individuals were watching from the secret balcony the castle has within the Ballroom, underneath the chandelier.
"Morgana has deserved this slightly if I might add, my ladies," Loki told them both while they all gazed down below with him also drinking some wine. "Yes Loki, but it is going to be more from what I briefly glimpsed… tougher, eventually, as she has only begun the first steps of her adventure alongside obtaining the skills needed when the time comes." Hecate then gently told the two with her looking down at the child with a pleased and soft smile.
"Things are going to be tougher from now on slightly for My Mistress, correct sister?" Death asked softly while being half-jealous yet half-understanding of Morgana dancing with two of the few other soulmates, primarily since she recalled informing the two Sundale children, personally, as soon they would be her Mistress's Family as well.
(Flashback Begins, Death's POV)
"This is not going to be easy for the two children…" I trailed off while talking to myself and sitting in a spare chair as to what I saw after I, for the first time, regretted carrying the souls of the recently departed: I felt remorse as to what I had to do, due to the last request of the mother to whom I lastly escorted into the Realm of Peace (4).
I recently got back after sensing his forces being involved in this world to my alarmed fear, and peeking into it as My One wasn't prepared, I knew with unexpected dread from feeling the connections to both of her friend's family was all but the one four-year-old daughter they had, was gone.
So currently, I was in the common home, waiting for the two children as I realized eventually they would return from being at the castle as I all figured no one had to heart to tell both the children and the Triplets as of yet, as they were also considered children to the Sundale's, like My Mistress when they hanged out from here.
I froze stiff yet then relaxed, as I heard the back door they had open up with hushed voices from both Will and Cassie.
I knew well the children wanted to refresh like the others for the night, as well as packing-up things from the Evergreen home for both Morgana and Belle, surprisingly Maurice allowed them to remain living at the castle.
Though it does help by allowing him to see his wife first before I do so to Belle, as promised, which worked wonders for the man's now improved mood.
I now heard the two Sundale children come into the room, half-stealthy to amuse me partially, yet they froze once they saw my frame yet I inwardly smirked at watching them both blush slightly at my half-decent outfit I figured, and frame, but Will narrowed his eyes at me while stating in a suspicious tone as Cassie was half-worried and half-curious as to my presence here. "Who are you lady, and what are you doing in our house?"
I now crossed my delicate legs, making Will's blush fade but Cassie's, a little more tint to her cheeks as I started to ease them and holding my left hand up to not make them talk before I do, "At ease children, I bring no harm to you or your sister, William Lannister Sundale. I am merely here to bring a… Message to you both, as well as wondering why you two have not figured out why your other four siblings and parental unit's cart, are not here?"
That froze them over as they thought to what I figured, was that they were simply gone, and from the looks on the villager's faces when they came back into town, they were probably getting odd looks.
They froze yet Will caught his sister briefly as she was shocked at this than he was, but from his eye yet I figured he was in the same state, but more in control of his emotions than she was, "My message is this you two: They were all but one killed. You're all but three siblings' souls taken from their destroyed bodies, by someone that was confidentially been after them, both your parents, for years. Someone I feared may be involved with not only your lives as of now but eventually, Morgana's."
That got them, however, to realize what I mentioned and also mentioned their friend's name, they narrowed their eyes at me yet it would seem Cassie wanted Will to be the talker primarily as she seemed to be upset at this news still, "So you know who is after us and Morgana then? Who lived lady?"
I sighed as I explained it to them, in which they were shocked yet Cassie fainted as to who I told her what her true mother was as not known to her now-deceased father as she was a child between a goddess and a someone else, to which I decided to not mention to her, "You are the Demigod Child of Trina: Goddess of Mischief, Chaos, Balance, and Life of this worldly-realm, and Granddaughter to Eris, Greek Goddess of Chaos, and someone I cannot mention at this point-of-time."
Will, however, saw my gaze to make him point out as despite him still worried and saddened over the deaths of his parents, "You pointed out that to her on purpose, didn't you Miss?" Now it was his turn to faint after he set his sister down on the man-made sofa they had by what my title was, as I chuckled afterward, "Lady Death to you, child."
Nonetheless, before I left, I did leave a note as well as explained that their only sibling, Elizabeth Cassandra Sundale, was alive, as well as the last words from both their parents.
(Flashback ends; Normal POV)
Death was shaken out of her minor thoughts from recalling the siblings when Hecate stated now to narrow her eyes in suspicion alongside Loki, by her next words, "Death, do note that sometime soon: Morgana will head to a specific city you and few other gods know all-to-well, as an invitation as news have rapidly spread of Prince Adam's long-lost return, and possibly to meet his soon-to-be wife. Her next adventure will begin there as well as finding a few new friends and to your ire, another soulmate."
"What city pray-tell you know, my Godchild-by-Magic is heading, Hecate?" Loki acknowledged before Death could, and huffing with Loki only. smirking back at the entity of Death itself.
Hecate worded it easily as if, from the twinkle in her eyes rather unexpectedly it would be amusing yet still as they were astounded by that fact of the name itself, "Agrabah."
A week later and getting ready to leave the castle:
Morgana was amazed that both Belle and Adam got a letter of recommendation, or in terms, an invite to come to spend a few weeks at Agrabah to which they will get a full-paid person to escort them to the location a week earlier, as the invitation was sent within a day, also inviting her.
So at the moment as both Cassie and Will decided to remain within the castle now, after finding out their parents were dead somehow as well, became the wards of the castle.
The Triplets to mention them, did visit from time to time, as well as Mister Grayson McMahon or better known as the young man who resembled a slim yet partially-muscular version of a brown-haired Hercules, but without the dimple-chin, and was the former coatrack, have been going-study with Daisy (to the disappointment of Will), but he decided to pursue Jessabelle next, to humor Morgana and ire his half-sister at this.
Right now, however, Morgana has her bag hooked onto her left shoulder as she decided to keep her hair the way it is now as it was like it was at the ball, as she liked it but wore the same outfit as always and her necklace clinging slightly due to the four objects connected to it.
Next to her though was by suggestion of Adam or Teddy, to which she still nicknamed him (to his ire, and amusement of her older sister), of some other clothing in case it gets too hot, as the Arabian desert would truly be hot.
Morgana's personal chamber's door was then knocked with her stating a 'Come in', and Mrs. Potts seemed amused as Morgana was also rushing around the room while finishing her packing; yet was half-irked yet understood as her room was currently messy, and maybe later on as they leave will get some servants to clean it for the child before they get back, "How are you doing Mary?"
Morgana from her excitement almost tripped over a book that amused Mrs. Potts as she expressed in a happy tone to the former kettle, "I'm just excited I get to go somewhere new for a change. Besides, I do hope Demi wouldn't be trouble or Trinaza, Mrs. Potts?" Morgana's mood changed to worry as lately, the two pranksters have been giving the staff a run for their money, yet they were only easy pranks or troubles, particularly Demi being smarter than an average wolf due to the intelligent-like eyes she has.
Giving her a half-humorous glance mixed with a knowing one, Mrs. Potts helped Morgana out while declaring, with them now leaving the room as soon the three would depart to Morgana's surprise since she hasn't been told as to what they would be riding to get there, "Nonsense at all Mary, the two will behave while you're gone, otherwise they would from Master Adam's words to your recently adopted sister, to not go on the next trip if they are offered."
Nodding at that, as it took them only a few short minutes as Grayson aided Morgana out by carrying her single suitcase for this yearly age, and they were surprised like she was as they would be riding on… carpets?
Belle and Adam as they were presently dressed from their clothing from before, but Adam's was all patched up and not looking torn up, mixed with it looking common with fancy, remarked to a stunned yet confused Morgana, "Now don't look like that sister as these are not ordinary carpets. They were personally shipped and also enchanted by the city of Agrabah itself to us, to use."
Belle saw realization on her face as a teal-based carpet now came from where the others were from the ground and swirled briefly around her frame and with it having a jade-dragon design at the corners with designed flowers all over in the center, made Morgana laugh before settling down.
Now after a few minutes of making sure they had everything, Morgana declared goodbye to her friends at the castle, as well as their father also showing up, and the three then left on Morgana's single carpet and with Belle and Adam sharing a single yet large one for their own, and gifts and other things on the last carpet available for the palace.
While they took off, no one saw a crow holding a crystal orb, and faintly heard a cackle from it as well, on the roof with the bird following them, discreetly, as per orders.
Well, that concludes the Beauty and the Beast Arc guys, and now to Aladdin!
This idea was brought to me on the next world by the user/author Rwbyknight. So give a shout-out to him will ya?
So do expect the things to remain slightly the same, but differently as you will be surprised when it is time for Gennie to be introduced as such, a hidden surprise that is but I won't spoil it all for you, but I will give at least one: Morgana does in-fact go with Aladdin to the cave.
Now here are some numbers:
One: Read chapter twelve of Ranamon's Little Girl as it would be mentioned at the end. But this is extra though: Yes Morgana will indeed be able to use spells as such, but not all at once to make her too overpowered.
Two: I decided to make Gaston seemingly like this as we all don't know what his dirty hobby is, now do we? Plus it will surprise you all later on in chapters as to what occurred with the man's soul. But I do need a name for the nameless child though.
Three: I wanted to skip the scene as mostly everyone could look it up easily on Youtube as such. So in terms of that, it plays out as it does, but with a female Chip as such.
Four: It is a realm that Death as well as a few certain Gods control as well as maintained slightly for souls that were good, innocent, or warriors during their time. It is also in secret, part of the Afterworld as that world exists within all known universes for the upper portion. SO do expect my OC, Aeroza, to show up, but simply aid the gods or goddesses as such as he would barely be involved until Morgana starts in later years at Hogwarts within the continuation or sequel to this story. That's right I pointed out the word, sequel, as I figured it would be amusing to see certain Disney characters at said school.
Now that's it for now until I start working as well as placing the next chapter to this fic, peace-out guys!
