They Will Eat You Alive

Here is the next oneshot which is basically why Carlos is scared of dogs.

Jay leapt off the chair and stood up with a determined look on his face. He stalked around, then pounced on the smaller boy, tickling him mercilessly. "No! Jay!" Carlos shouted, but the older boy was much stronger, he was nearly five while Carlos had only just turned three. Jay laughed and carried on tickling him.

Evie was applying lip gloss while peering at her mirror and Mal was sitting on her mother's lap, listening to Maleficent's account of Aurora and Philip, and how awful they were.

Evil Queen and Cruella were discussing the upcoming party in Auradon, and how they hoped to get leftover fancy clothes and makeup. Cruella put her cigarette holder to her lips while surveying her small son. Jay had got bored of tickling and was attempting to steal Jafar's turban while his father pretended not to notice. Carlos was sitting in the corner and playing with the little toy Evie gave him, a puppy with a torn ear that he called Snuggles. "Carlos!" Cruella called.

Carlos looked up from Snuggles. "Yes mummy?"

"Come here."

He walked over and Cruella lifted him up onto her furry lap. He snuggled into the soft fur while Cruella talked. She had got the idea from Maleficent and she wanted to tell Carlos how close she had been to making a fur coat out of Anita and Roger's puppies. "I'm going to tell you a story."

Carlos looked at her with his big brown eyes. "Stowy?"

"Yes, a story about some horrible people that betrayed Mummy." She told him the story, and his eyes widened when she described the different ways she was going to kill the puppies and then skin them. When she had finished, Carlos felt her luxurious fur coat. "Mummy, why were you going to make a coat out of cute little puppies?"

Cruella scowled and pushed his small hand away from her precious coat. "Because their fur was exquisite."

"But why did you want to kill the puppies?" Carlos persisted, looking sad.

"Because dogs are horrible creatures." Cruella replied dangerously.

"No, they're not, puppies are cute." He held up Snuggles.

Cruella grabbed Snuggles and threw him in the corner. Carlos wailed and tried to slide off Cruella's lap to get his toy, but she held him firmly. "Dogs will kill you at first sight. They will eat you alive and rip you apart." Tears swam in Carlos' eyes as his mind filled with the gruesome images. Cruella continued. "No dog can be trusted, they are all savage, rabid pack animals." Carlos looked at Snuggles on the floor. "They will rip your throat out and the last you will see….is their SPOTS."

Carlos cried out and buried his face into her coat, sobbing. "Mummy don't let the dogs get me!"

"I won't let them get you, as long as you are good. Dogs like to eat bad little boys for breakfast."

"I'll be good Mummy, I promise!" Carlos said fearfully. With that, Cruella tipped him off her lap and carried on talking to Evil Queen. Carlos sat on the floor, wiping the last of his tears. He saw Snuggles in the corner and ran away, terrified. He went to Evie and told her what Cruella had said. Evie dropped her mini mirror and gave him a hug. Mal said, "I won't let the dogs get you." and scowled menacingly. Jay looked over to Snuggles, then went and ripped him apart. He walked back to Carlos and said, "There, now the puppy can't get you." Carlos sniffled and the children had a group hug.
