Snow White's PoV

I sat in a small chair in the large dining room, watching each princess around me take a seat. A large bowl of soup was passed around, as we each solemnly poured some in our tiny bowls. It would be our last dinner before entering the arena.

I felt so sad, why would my stepmother be so cruel? How could she do this to her stepdaughter? I had tried so hard to gain her love, but she had always turned it away. All I wanted was a mother, and so I decided to accept her. These poor princesses around me, they have to enter this arena with me? Even if one tried to choke me to death, it wasn't her fault. She was just lost and confused. Just like Ariel was with the deal. Speaking of which, where was she? Why was there one free seat?

"Where is poor Ariel?" I asked.

"Got herself stuck in a cage." Rapunzel said.

"Her fault." Jasmine sniggered. "She could have just said it. Now, she will miss dinner, and be left hungry for the arena."

"The poor thing!" I cried. "I should go and check on her."

"Too late." Mulan said, while swallowing a large gulp of the soup. "The doors locked when we all got in here. No matter what, she'll still enter the arena, we all know that. They'll spot her instantly when they come and collect us after supper."

I began to sob. "She was just upset! We all do strange things when we're upset!"

I heard Merida whisper to Jasmine, who was sitting next to her, "is she always like this?"

"She's only fourteen," she whispered back, "she's the youngest of all of us."

We were all silent, Mulan took at least three portions of the soup, while I refused to eat mine. I would give it to Ariel later, it would only be fair for her to have her share of food as well. The room had a sad aroma flooding it, knowing all of us, except one, would make it out alive. We kept doing this, until everyone, except me, had stuffed themselves. That was until Belle spoke.

"Wow, Mulan, you ate as if there was no tomorrow!" she giggled. "I swear you had at least ten portions!"

"I wanted to be absolutely stuffed for the arena. This soup is precious. Also, who knows, I could have no tomorrow."

Belle put her hand on Mulan's shoulder. "Well, there is some good news. Because I was kidnapped first, I heard the villains talking a bit. There will be a loud cannon noise everyone in the arena will be able to hear. One cannon means one death. The more cannons, the more deaths. We will be put in a large circle around a bunch of supplies, until the buzzer goes off, we will be unable to move. When the buzzer goes off, you can either run and fight for the stuff, or you can make a run for it into the woods."

There was silence again, until, finally, a villain with a large snake staff, with a curly moustache and beard, and a parrot by his side entered the room. Jasmine rushed towards him, fists upwards, ready to fight. Aurora held her back.

"It will only make it worse..." she kept attempting to soothe her unsuccessfully.

"JAFAR!" Jasmine struggled against Aurora. "WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE JUST LEFT ALADDIN AND I ALONE?"

He smiled wickedly. "I would have thought you had learned, my pretty. Still, you keep your head high, will help for the games."

"OH, SO NOW YOU'RE TRYING TO SEDUCE ME!" she broke free from Aurora, so more of us had to keep her still. "YOU TRAPPED ME IN AN HOURGLASS! IT'S YOU WHO NEEDS TO LEARN, I AM NOT A PRIZE TO BE WON!"

"I just came to escort you into the arena, you fool." he said. "The more words you say against me, each one makes no difference. So, I suggest you just shut up and follow me."

"Wait, stop, oh please!" I cried as he turned around. "Poor Ariel is trapped in the cage! Please let her free!"

He raised an eyebrow. "We let her out."

"She ran back in, and the door slammed on her!" I wailed. "Set her free, it's not her fault!"

Everyone else looked at me as if I was a fool. Why couldn't they understand? Why couldn't they feel bad for her?

"Oh, she'll get something," he sneered, "I'll go back for that idiot. Meanwhile, you all come forth, princesses."

As we were walking in a large tunnel, he directed us to small holes, each one would send us into the arena. He reminded us that we would take no fall damage, the villains had made sure that it was a safe journey. As Mulan volunteered to step into her's first, she stared at him harshly and hissed into his ear.

"I am not a princess." she said to him with hostility. "I have no ties to royalty, I have never worn a tiara in my life and only once, did I wear a kimono during battle. Remember that, snake staff."

As he was about to let insulting words against her fly out of his mouth, she jumped, feet first, into the hole. He stared down into the hole for a moment or two, as if to rethink what she said. Then he turned to us and asked who wanted to go next, and so Belle volunteered, then Merida, Jasmine, Rapunzel, Anna, Tiana, Aurora, Cinderella, and then I was the only one left.

"Promise you'll go get her?" I spoke. "Please promise?"

"Geez, I will," he rolled his eyes, "she can't not go into the arena."

This motivated me a little bit as I approached the hole. It was a big hole and it scared me slightly.

"Why can't we just all live together?" I wept.

"Because then there'd be no fun for us." Jafar hissed before pushing me in.

I screamed for about two seconds as I fell down the hole, because time went by ever so fast and I soon hit a metal plate. I looked around to see that Belle was right, well of course she wouldn't ever lie to us, would she? She had a kind heart. We were all in a circle around lots of supplies, such as food, backpacks and weapons.

When the buzzer sounded, I began to stare at this large, red apple. So delicious, would make an excellent pie. No, I had to escape, people were beginning to die. Most of the princesses were running into the woods, away from the supplies, and I saw Rapunzel kill Cinderella with a frying pan. Seeing this, I ran far away, tripping over my dress, because it was caught on a branch! The tree was trying to hurt me! I jumped from it, causing a rip in my dress, my dress! I fell over, and into wet mud, leaving my face covered in the hot sticky stuff. Sobbing in distress, I left the mud, my dress and my beauty ruined and retreated to a lake. I rinsed myself off, and was upset when I realised this dress I was wearing would really never be the same, but knew that when I returned home, I could save Prince Florian and marry him. The prince of my dreams.

I then decided to find some food. No, I would not eat an animal. How cruel would someone be to do that, to slaughter a being just for your own benefits? Even eating a plant was absolutely monstrous and unthinkable without collecting the seeds from them to plant new ones. Yes, I would eat the plants, but save the seeds to plant new ones. Then they'll get a chance to live again, like they deserve to. I walked over to some plants which I had never seen before, but I knew if I politely asked them not to be poisonous, they would hear my plea and grant the wish. I knelt down beside them and clapped my hands together as if to pray.

"Oh, you poor little plants, bless your little souls. Well, I must survive, in order to save my Prince, and I just don't know how! In order to live, I'm going to need your help. Surely this arena is a horrible place to live. If you let me eat you, then I will plant your seeds in a beautiful palace garden when I return home, I promise."

They did not respond, so maybe they were giving me a message, that they really did need to escape. With a great ounce of pain, I picked one of the plants. I searched the stem, but found no seeds. I sobbed in agony, realising I had broke my promise. Now I had taken the plant's life. All of his family would think I was a murderer. I wailed and wept, as my big tears hit the ground.

When I finally got up, trying to accept that I was a monster, I saw a cave. A cave! Maybe there would be someone in there to help me! I ran into the cave and saw some little things! Two cubs! Adorable little baby bears! But where was their mama? I scooped each one up, one was asleep, the other dug it's claws into my head in anger. My arm bled! I had never bled before!

"I am trying to help you, I promise!" but the pain still continued on.

Before I even reached the end of the cave, a large bear came towards me, snarling viciously. Their mother!

"I found you! Now you two go say hello to your mother!" I put them down, and they each rushed towards their mama, relieved she had returned.

It did not take long for the bear to pounce on me. It was more pain than I had ever felt in my entire life. The bear teared apart my chest, leaving blood to ooze out uncontrollably. It then went to work on my face, attempting to remove my teeth, and scratching it over and over again. She kept going until she realised her work was done, and left me, taking her cubs with her.

I suddenly heard a cannon. I remembered what Belle had said.

"One cannon means one death. The more cannons, the more deaths."

Who could have died? I tried to cry but found I could barely even breathe. Then everything began to fade away before my very eyes, and all I saw was black.

I'm the person who died.

That was the last thing I remembered thinking.
