Belle wondered why she felt the pain when she was supposed to be dead, or was it not how it worked? She moved closer to the fire to be dragged behind by the creature who gave her a look of shock, "What you doing?" asked the creature to her.
"What am I doing? What are you doing?! Untie me this instant, or I will gouge your eyes!" threatened Belle. Both her hands and legs were tied in ropes which stopped her from moving.
"Me eats you," came the thoughtful answer from the creature, "Pot is almost ready, and I put vegetables," the creature brought a knife and carrot, cutting the vegetable into the pot.
