The Sentence (3/??)

There was a sharp drop on Philippe’s side, showing off a portion of the forest on lower ground. Amidst the trees and thick foliage was the back of some unidentified large beast. Thick, tangled brown fur promised something wild; wicked curved horns showed another threat besides fangs. They were too far to see any details, but judging by the rise and fall of the animal, it was probably asleep. What animal slept outside so openly like this?
One that, perhaps, have never been in the presence of hunters.
“That creature looks big enough to feed papa and I for a good portion of the winter,” Belle whispered to Philippe. “We’ll be able to spare countless other animals, and think! A game as large as that, if it had gone towards the village, imagine the chaos that could cause!” Philippe understood his mistress’ intentions, and began a slow trek down to where the creature was. They approached as quietly and cautiously as possible, and finally Belle pulled out an arrow and readied a shot. The beast continued to sleep obliviously, half-surrounded and half-hidden by the plants around it, Belle couldn’t aim directly for the heart or neck but this close a shot was bound to do something.
“Go away!”
And suddenly the voice was no longer whispery and far off but almost screamed from beside her. Belle was so startled she released her arrow without calculating a more precise shot. The arrow flew forward and struck what might have been the beast’s front legs.
Then the creature roared in pain and anger and threw its arms up and stood up on its hind legs and suddenly Belle regretted not investigating the animal closer before shooting it. Philippe shared similar thoughts, it finally had enough of Belle’s adventures and rouse up to its hind legs sharply, throwing its mistress to the ground. Belle managed to keep a hold of her arrows and bow, but Philippe was tearing back to where they came from. “Philippe! Wait! Don’t go!”
But the horse was long gone, and Belle, thrown into a most vulnerable position, turned back to look at her immediate threat. The beast was still roaring and now Belle could see definitely that it was no regular beast. The creature stood on its hind legs and was wearing clothing, pants and what seemed to be a cape, but it was definitely a beast. Ragged brown fur, horns, a snout and a jaw of vicious fangs; and all those were incomparable to the angry eyes that looked around widely before focusing on her.
“YOU!!”
Good lord, the thing could talk. Belle straightened, getting to her feet quickly, bow and arrow at hand, the beast roared again and she took a few steps back. That didn’t stop her from getting ready for another shot.
“No!”
The familiar voice cried out again, and Belle halted in her movements, half bewildered, half curious. The beast shared none of her reservations, but shouted out in response, “She shot me first!”
“You will not harm those here”
“I am master here! These are my grounds! She is trespassing on my territory!”
“She knows not what she has done.”
“Ignorance is no excuse! You only have to look at me to see that!”
“You know as well as us that your story is different from hers. Now, drop your weapons, child, unless you wish for a fight and your subsequent death.” Belle hesitated, she could almost feel the eyes watching her, waiting impatiently for her to drop her bow and arrows, but she did not trust the beast in front of her not to attack as soon as she was defenseless. Her apprehension must have shown on her face, because there was a sigh.
“He will not attack you if you cooperate, isn’t that right, master?”
“She shot me!”
“But she hasn’t killed you and you yourself have hunted before, she wasn’t acting particularly vicious.”
The beast snarled, for one moment Belle tensed, ready to let the arrow fly at a moment’s notice, but then the creature and his head away. “Fine, I won’t touch her, but she has already seen me for what I am. I cannot simply let her go, and risk her returning with a group of hunters.”

*Blushes* thank you, at first when it seemed like no one was commenting I thought that meant either no one was interested/I was writing poorly/I did not properly report my fill. I'm relieved to know that I did at least made two readers happy, I shall start writing the next part now!
