Later, Weiss reaches a point with the horse in the dark forest quickly, where she sees a giant castle with a big gate outside of it, where Jacques has last been seen.

"What is this place...?", asked Weiss, the horse sputtering and scared by the sight of the castle, the animal neighing as Weiss calms him down again. "Steady.", she then said, telling the horse to stay outside for a bit, before she suddenly gasps to see a small ripped part of her father's shoe and picking it up, worried, "Papa."


Inside the castle, the candelabra Yang and the clock Ruby were having a conversation on the dinner table, the latter pacing back and forth, saying to her sister, "Oh, couldn't keep quiet, could we? Just had to invite him to stay, didn't we? Serve him tea, sit in the master's chair. Pet our pooch Zwei."

"I was trying to be hospitable.", explains Yang.

Then, the front castle door opens to show Weiss, asking in an echo, "Hello? Is anyone here? Hello?", going across the main lobby and starting going up the stairs. "Hello? Papa? Papa?", going in different parts around the stairway and a couple floors, "Are you here?", the white-haired girl asking.


In the castle kitchen, the small human-shaped teacup Nora comes over to the human-shaped teapot Pyrrha, reporting, "Mama, there's a girl in the castle."

"Now, Nora, I'll not have you making up such wild stories.", told Pyrrha to Nora.

Nora then responds, "Really, mama? I saw her!"

"Not another word. Into the tub.", the teapot Pyrrha told the small teacup Nora, the former putting the latter in the tub bucket of soap and water.

Then, a human-shaped featherduster Jaune, then shows up, saying, "A girl, Pyrrha! I saw a girl in the castle!", while Nora comes up from the tub, spitting water out.

"See? I told ya.", chuckled Nora.


Back at the table where Yang and Ruby were talking, the latter scolding her sister a bit, "irresponsible, devil-may-care, wet-eared, slack jawed...", Yang mimicking her words.

"Hello? Papa?", asked Weiss, which Ruby and Yang turn around to see Weiss walking past outside the room the two sisters were in.

Yang asked Ruby, "Did you see that?", the two jumping down the table and peeking around the corner to see Weiss. "It's a girl!", she surprised.

"I know it's a girl.", playfully says Ruby.

Yang happily told her sister, "Don't you see? She's the one! The one we have been waiting for! She has come to break the spell!", starting to follow Weiss, while Ruby was a bit shocked that she's following the girl.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute!", said the red-black-haired girl, who Ruby then starts to come with Yang to follow Weiss.

As the white-haired human girl was still searching for her father, she kept calling, "Papa?", just before the candelabra Yang and clock Ruby come to a random door, opening it for Weiss to notice. While the two sisters hid out of sight, Weiss comes in, asking, "Hello? Someone here? Wait! I'm looking for my father, I...", and Ruby peeks to see Weiss, who the latter then began going up the stairs. The Schnee girl then noticed, "That's funny. I'm sure there was someone.", Yang stealthily tries to be inanimate on a display by the stairway and making light. "Is anyone here?", she finally asked, approaching a small dungeon, waiting for an answer.

"...Weiss?"

"Papa!", Weiss was surprised to hear her father, with Yang smiling, yet still unseen by Weiss. The Schnee girl then came over to the prison door where her father Jacques is, holding her father's hand after getting a torch.

Her father shivered, "Ho-how did you find me?"

"Oh, your hands are like ice.", notices the daughter, as Jacques coughed. "We have to get you out of there."

Jacques pleads, "Weiss, I want you to leave this place.", scared.

"Who's done this to you?", asked Weiss.

Her father quickly says, "No time to explain! You must go, now!"

"I won't leave you!", the daughter promised her father-

Weiss was then turned around by the same figure that imprisoned her father, roaring all of a sudden, "What are you doing here?!", causing Weiss's torch to be tossed and dropped in the process, extinguishing on a nearby puddle of water.

"RUN, WEISS!", yelled Jacques at the time.

In the darkness, Weiss asked, "Who's there? Who are you?"

"My name is Blake Belladonna. And the master of this castle.", she growled, her golden eyes glowing in the darkness as she moves left.

The white-haired girl said, "My name is Weiss Schnee. I've come for my father. Please, let him out. Can't you see, he's sick."

"Then he shouldn't have trespassed here!", argues Blake in the darkness.

Weiss pleaded, "But he could die! Please, I'll do anything."

"There's nothing you could do. He's my prisoner.", Blake angrily answers, moving again in the dark.

Weiss hoped, "Oh, there must be some way I can...", before she then said, "Wait!", to the girl in the darkness, looking back with fury before a moment later, the white-haired girl decided, "...take me instead."

"You...", growled Blake again to Weiss, before she realized, "...you would...take his place?", questioningly.

Jacques replied to his daughter, "Weiss, no! You don't know what you're doing!"

"If I did...would you let him go?", asks the Schnee girl.

The mysterious Belladonna girl answered, "Yes...but...you must promise to stay here forever.", before Weiss was curious why she's in the darkness.

"Come into the light.", Weiss asked Blake.

And then the figure began to come into the light, first, she revealed low-heeled boots on her feet with black stockings and white shorts on her legs, along with a furry black tail on the back of her body, then she reveals her arms had black fur all over with sharp claws, also wearing a black vest.

As Weiss started to become nervous, Blake entirely comes into the light, finally revealing her face, having long black-hair, but also having black fur everywhere on her body and face, with golden glowing eyes, sharp fangs and kitty ears, in a beastly form. She wasn't too big, but she was a few inches higher than Weiss.

Weiss, after seeing what Blake looked like, gasped in shock before turning to her father, Jacques saying, "No, Weiss! I won't let you do this!", but Weiss decided to come over to Blake, deciding, "...You have my word."

"Done!", the black-haired beast said, and when going to free Weiss' father Jacques, the daughter falls on her knees and sobbed a little after covering her face in sadness.

Then her father comes over to her, saying as Weiss faced her father, "Weiss, listen to me, I'm old, I lived my life!", just before Jacques was then dragged away by Blake.

"Wait!", said Weiss, but Blake doesn't listen.

Her father reached out for his daughter as he was dragged, "Weiss!"

"Wait!", the white-haired daughter said, but no response.


As Blake comes outside the castle while dragging Jacques and ran towards an abandoned carriage across the entrance, the latter man begged, "No! Please! Weiss! Spare my daughter! Please!"

"She's no longer your concern!", said the black-haired beast to the man, before putting him in the carriage, Blake commanding to it before going back in the castle, "Take him to the village."

Magically, the carriage suddenly stood up and started travelling back to the village and exiting the castle, Jacques pleading, "Let me out! Please let me out! Let me out! Please! Please!", as he was being taken back to the village.


Weiss, watching this from the prison tower, sobbed and cries that she feared she might not see her father again.
