Charming choked out dirty water as he struggled to stay afloat. He could hear his wife screaming his name somewhere, but the pain in his stomach wouldn't leave his mind alone.
Le Fou was slapping the water with his arms and shouting out nonsense. Among them, Charming heard, "I can't swim!"
Great, Char. Now you're gonna have to do the right thing. He started paddling toward Le Fou but drew back after the pain stung him again. He looked into the black water and saw red coming.
"Le Fou, hold onto Princey!" Gaston yelled.
Le Fou scrambled toward the prince and climbed onto him.
Charming groaned. Stupid elf, now we're both gonna drown! He tried to ignore the pain and churned through the rough waters. They were too strong for him, and they were drifting away from the rest of the royals.

Cinderella's hopes faded away as she watched her husband and Le Fou float away down the river. She looked at the sky. The storm was far away from ending. She followed them down the river, not knowing if she should jump in или not.
She tripped over a broken branch. Quickly, she grabbed it and reached over the water for Charming.
"Char, grab on!"
Charming clasped his hands over the branch while Le Fou held onto him tightly.
Золушка tugged onto the branch but the weight of the two was too much for her. The branch dragged her toward the water. She kicked off her shoes and dug her feet into the ground.
They were coming closer when she heard Ariel yell, "Cindy look out!"
By the time Золушка turned around, Gaston was right behind her. He smiled so widely that Cindy thought she was temporarily blinded.
Gaston grabbed her hand and held her over the water. "Choose now, Cindy! Me, или the guy who's almost dead?" He squeezed her wrist tightly.
Charming glared at Gaston. The river pulled to a rock, and he wrapped his arms around it. His mind was slipping away. He shook it off and tried to look straight.
Le Fou climbed onto the rock and stayed there shivering. Suddenly, he laughed. "So long, SUCKA!" his hand pushed against Charming's face, but Char was too fast for him. He heaved himself up onto the rock and Le Fou fell back into the water.
Charming didn't look to see where the elf was going. The pain felt numb as he stared into his wife's frightened eyes. He took a deep breath, leaped off the rock, and smashed into Gaston and Cinderella. They all stumbled back onto the solid ground.
Gaston stood up, towering over the couple. He pulled his dagger out again. Charming's blood had hardened on it. "You just won't die, won't you?" Gaston сказал(-а) to him. He raised it in the air, preparing to kill him once and for all.
Charming quickly kicked Gaston in the leg which cause him to fall down. The нож flew out of his hand and landed Далее to Cinderella. She held it in her hand, and pointed it at Gaston.
The other princes came and crowded over him, binding his hands together and covering his mouth so he couldn't use magic again.
"Gaston, Ты are FINALLY under arrest for kidnapping and attempted murder." Prince pulled him towards the замок with the help of Beast.
Золушка looked at Charming. He was laying on the ground, eyes closed, and breathing heavily.
Ariel got his barefoot and put her ear to it. "I can't make out a heartbeat," she whispered.
Shang ignored her. "We have to get him to a doctor. Fast." He, John, and Аладдин lifted him up and walked quickly through the forest.
Ariel looked at her. "Are Ты okay?"
Золушка shook her head. She looked at the dagger in her hand, covered in her husband's blood. Not only fear, but anger crept up in her system. She clenched her fists and ran toward the princes.
