The West Wing/Wolfos Attack (Beauty and the Demon Bear Version)

*(At the hall with the suit of armor, Chuckie was explaining with Pluto following the group)*

Chuckie: As you can see, the pseudo facade was stripped away to reveal a minimalist rococo design. Note the unusual inverted vaulted ceilings. This is yet another example of the neo-classic baroque period, and as I always say, if it's not baroque, don't fix it!

*(He chuckled for a moment)*

Chuckie: Now, where was I?

*(He then noticed the suits of armor looking at them where they were, much to his annoyance)*

Chuckie: As you were!

*(The heads all snapped back to face forward)*

Chuckie: (Turning back) Now, if I may draw your attention to the flying buttresses above the...

*(However, he and the others noticed Merida's group was gone)*

Chuckie: Huh? Guys? Where is everyone?

Kimi: (Ponders) I believe they went off near the West Wing.

Ness: (Nods) Oh, that's good.

*(However, they realized in horror)*

Ness and servants: THE WEST WING?!

*(Quickly, they rushed off to find them, with Pluto following. With Merida's group, Kayley looked concerned as they looked at the stairway leading to the West Wing)*

Kayley: Guys, I don't think we should go over there.

Merida: I'm not going to listen to a giant Demon Bear, and besides, I'm curious.

Kayley: I'm just stating a word of precaution.

Garrett: (Agreeing) And he did say not to go there.

*(As he spoke that, Merida almost neared the steps, when Nesx and the servants quickly blocked her and the group's path, smiling nervously)*

Paula: Okay, we'll bite.

Kayley: What's going on?

Chuckie: Uh.... Nothing. Absolutely nothing at all in the West Wing. Dusty, dull, very boring and stupid.

Garrett: (Grins) Oh, so that's the West Wing.

Kayley: Well.... One peek wouldn't hurt.

Garrett: Fine by me.

*(Kimi whacks Chuckie)*

Kimi: (Hits him angrily) Nice going, Chuckie!

*(Merida's group began walking up toward the steps)*

Paula: Now, what could he be hiding up there?

*(However, Ness and the servants blocked them again)*

Ness: He's not hiding anything. Honest.

Garrett: If it's nothing, why would it be forbidden?

Kayley: (Annoyed) Garrett!

Garrett: (Confused) What?

*(They were only blocked more)*

Kimi: Perhaps, you would like to see something else, of course?

Merida: Maybe later.

*(The group tried again, but were blocked again)*

Tommy: (Desperately) What about the gardens or the library?

Merida: (Smiles) You have a library?

*(Ness and the servants got excited)*

Chuckie: Yes, indeed.

Tommy: With books.

Chuckie: Gads of books.

Kimi: Mountains of books.

Chuckie: Forests of books.

Tommy: Cascades of books.

Kimi: Cloudbursts of books.

Ness: Swamps of books!

Chuckie: More books than you can ever imagine.

*(Ness and the servants with Pluto following began heading out as Chuckie continued)*

Chuckie: Books on every subject ever studied, by every author who ever set pen to paper....

*(Merida's group began following them, though Merida stopped, making them stop upon noticing)*

Garrett: Well?

Paula: Aren't you going to this library?

Merida: But I really wanted to see the West Wing first.

Paula: I see....

*(When Ness and the servants were gone, Merida's group walked up to the steps, then down a long, dark corridor, with Paula shivering a bit. They passed broken statues, a broken mirror with concern and finally neared the end. There, they saw the door handle with what appeared to be a sneering face)*

Kayley: Great, something I didn't want to see.

Garrett: Oh, come on. I'm sure it doesn't mean anything.

*(Kayley only sighed before pulling the door open. Inside, the group looked as they saw a complete mess. There, they saw many pieces of old salmon, broken furniture and toys, and clutter)*

Merida: You think he'd had a little time cleaning up.

*(They then turned, noticing a picture of four figures. Two men, a woman, and a small boy, though their faces, except the woman, were covered by the slashes while Merida looked at the big armed man in the picture. Then, they noticed something shimmering. They turned, noticing the rose inside the glass jar. They slowly walked to it before Merida took the jar off. However, before she could touch it....)*

Ness: (Whispering) What are you doing?!

*(Merida's group noticed Ness looking concerned)*

Paula: (Whispering) Sorry, but we just wanted to take a look.

Ness: (Whispering) Well, we need to leave before....

*(He and Merida gasped suddenly, noticing Kenai, a few feet from them, glaring and snorting. They jumped away from the giant pouncing Demon Bear, who placed the jar back on the rose. He then glared angrily at Merida, who looked fearful to him)*

Kenai: (Glares) Why did you come here?

Merida: (Frightened) I'm sorry.

Paula: We didn't mean to make....

Kenai: I warned you to never come here!

Garrett: We only got curious!

Kayley: We don't mean any harm.

Kenai: Do you even know what you could've done?! YOU COULD'VE DAMNED US ALL!!!!

*(He throws a broken wooden chair at the wall, scaring the group and concerning Ness)*

Merida: Please! Stop!

Paula: Kenai, no!

Kenai: GET OUT!!

*(With fury, he knocked a few empty tables down as he roared in anger, and Merida's group ran away in fear)*

Kenai: GET OUT!!!

*(Garrett and Kayley turned around angrily)*

Garrett: Gladly! We'll leave all right!

Kayley: And just to be sure, we're never coming back.... EVER!!

Ness: (Worried) Wait, come back, please!

*(When Kenai was done, Ness turned to him in anger)*

Ness: See what happens when you lose your temper?! Now they'll never come back! And that sweet, little girl I made friends with won't return again as well because of you!

*(Hearing him, Kenai's anger melted away, and realized Ness's right. Back with Merida's group, they rushed down the staircase in the foyer, past Tommy, Kimi, and Chuckie)*

Tommy: Where are you going? Wait!

Merida: Promise or no promise. We can't stay here another minute!

Garrett: Nice knowing you! Bye!

*(Merida opened the door as the snow blew in and the group ran out)*

Chuckie: (Worried) No, please! Wait!

*(It was too late as the door shut behind them. Out in the forest, Merida rode on Angus with the group in the wagon, heading home. Seems like they're free finally. Just then, the group noticed the Wolfos in front of them)*

Kayley: Oh my....

*(The Wolfos started chasing them through the woods. Finally, a Wolfos stopped Angus in his tracks by jumping in front of her and blocking the way, claws ready. Having no other choice, the group climbed off and/or got out to fight. The same Wolfos blocking the way lunged toward Angus, but Paula whacked the Wolfos away with a huge branch. One even clawed Garrett's right shoulder and left arm. As a few more came near them, Merida gasped in fear, trying to whack them with Paula wildly. However, they tripped, landing on the ground before the Wolfos slowly approached the group, ready for the kill. One of the Wolfos lunged at the two screaming girls before two familiar Demon Bears quickly grabbed the wolf monster and throwing it aside, much to the group's surprise. The two Demon Bears then continued fighting the Wolfos as the group watched in surprise. The remaining frightened Wolfos quickly ran off. As soon as they were gone, the group looked at the two, with them looking back at them. Kenai was bleeding from his claw marks on his right arm with Ness's left leg scratched up. The two fell face flat in the snow. The group looked away to the road. However, they looked back at Kenai and Ness, who lifted his head and sadly looked at Merida with tears along with Ness, who tearfully looked at Paula)*

Garrett: (Clutching his wounded arm) Come on, girls, Ayden. We gotta go.

*(Feeling sorry for Kenai for the first time, Merida and Paula reconsidered leaving)*

Paula: You can go if you want.... But Merida and I are staying behind.

Garrett: Are you sure?

Merida: They came to save us.... That means.... They do care for us.

*(Realizing they're right, the group gave in with soft smiles)*

Kayley: (Smiles while carrying Garrett's staff) It seems that way.

Garrett: (Clutching his wounded shoulder) Yes.

*(The Scottish princess placed her cloak onto the fallen Kenai)*

Garrett: (Sighs with a soft smile while giving in) Fine, you win.

Kayley: (Giving in with a nod) Yes. Okay.

*(The group then headed back to the castle with the wounded Demon Bears in the wagon. Later in the parlor, Jasmine poured some hot water in a bowl before Merida took the towel out of the water, ringing it before looking at Kenai holding his wounded arm, with Garrett and Ness' wounds bandaged)*

Merida: Here, now. *(Notices)* Oh, don't do that.

*(He growled at her, with the others backing away. Merida kept trying to reach the wound with the towel)*

Merida: Just hold still.

*(She placed it onto the clawed arm before Kenai roared in pain, prompting everyone to hide)*

Kenai: (Angrily) That hurts!

Merida: (Frowns) Well, if you'd hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much!

Kenai: If you and the others hadn't run away, this wouldn't have happened!

Merida: (Angrily) Well, if *you* hadn't frightened me, my sister, and friends, we wouldn't have run away!

*(He prepared to speak, but thought for a moment before glaring his red eyes to her)*

Kenai: (Angrily) Well, *you*, your sister, and your friends shouldn't have been in the West Wing!

Merida: (Angrily) Oh, yeah? Well, *you* should learn to control your temper!

*(Kenai, hearing her say that, slowly calmed down. It reminded him of how Ness and the servants always told him to control his temper. The group and servants came out of hiding, calmly surprised to see Kenai react calmly like that from Merida's remark. Merida and Kenai both looked at one another before their eyes turned to the wounded arm)*

Merida: Now, hold still. This may sting a little.

*(Kenai turned away, clenching his eyes and biting his lip while Merida cleaned the wound, looking at him)*

Merida: Oh, by the way.... Despite that Garrett got hurt, thanks for saving our lives back there.

*(His opened his eyes, turning toward her. Everyone looked as Kenai became calmer to her)*

Kenai: (Calmly) You're welcome.

*(Then with that, Merida started bandaging Kenai's wounded arm)*

***Coming up: Clayton, Seifer, Vanitas, and Popple talk Shere Khan into helping them in an evil plot that will make Merida and Paula agree to marry Clayton and Seifer respectively. At the same time, Fergus and Elinor, along with the good villagers, leave to go rescue Merida's group, unaware of the plot.***
