nina del carmen: I believe the word you're looking for is 'her' as they are both ladies. ^^' But thanks! I think you'll find that Alicia has a special sisterly bond with Jenna, so it would make sense for her to go all out to find her.

The smell of blood is overwhelming as is the amount of it rising in the water. I don't usually faint at the sight or smell of blood, but seeing a Disney legend clearly dead on the floor has me close to passing out. Hence, why it was fortunate that Victoria caught as I almost fall to the floor.

It only took a few seconds for the others to rush in. "Hannah? What's going on? We heard you scream and…" Alicia stops dead in her sentence upon her seeing Ursula.

Yvette can only bring out a "Whoa." We all stare at Ursula in a dead silence, but I know that our minds are filled with fear.

Then Kayla yells, "What the heck happened!?"

"Okay, I know I had heroic thoughts of defeating her, but this is too much!" Lulu exclaims.

Alicia clenches her fists and asks with venom in her mouth, "How could this have happened? We were right outside! We should have heard her screaming or something!" Rose points a trembling finger at the body. "You think it has to do with that?" There is a white cloth tied tightly around her mouth, possibly used as a gag. If we had heard her scream for help, we would have had enough time to save her. But we heard nothing…

Why did we let her go off by herself?! Why?! How could we have been so stupid?!

I hug myself tightly and heave in as many breaths as I can muster. Lulu turns to me. "Hannah?" I only float there and say nothing. What can I say? Nothing I do can fix this.

"Hannah, come on. Snap out of it!" Lulu exclaims. "We need to do something!"

"Like what?" I manage to whimper out. "She's dead. What else can we do?"

Alicia responds, "We find whoever did this. They couldn't have gotten far. In fact…" She looks around the room. "The killer couldn't have gotten past us when we were guarding the door and came in. I'm fairly certain they are still here."

Kayla screeches out, "You mean the killer's in the same room as us?! He can jump out at us at any moment!" At that, we ready our weapons, being our only hope of finding the culprit and leaving alive. Kayla and Rose, who don't have combat weapons, get behind us as we group up. Alicia orders, "You are surrounded! Come out with your hands up!"

The room is silent for only a moment. Then, she came out from under the bed, with her hands in the air and fear on her face.

"Morgana." Alicia says in deep anger. "I should have known better than to let you live."

"W-wait! It's not what it looks like. I didn't kill her!" Morgana pleas.

Lulu yells out, "Yeah, right! What makes you believe we'd trust you?"

"I'm telling you, I didn't do this! I'm an innocent bystander!"

Victoria states, "You are our prime suspect. You're here, and you've been here the whole time Ursula has. You even had a motive to kill her. It can only be you." That is true. But to say that Morgana is the Master Villain? Could that really be true? I have a feeling that this is too easy.

Yvette glares at her, with her wrench ready to fire. "I say we kill her right now!"

Morgana gets on the ground and holds her hands together in prayer. "Please!" she cries. "You have to believe me! I mean, yes, I was going to sneak up on her, knock her out, and take her vessel. That would have been the end of it! But some crazy mechanical shark came by and shot Ursula with a harpoon! It came from its mouth!" I look at Ursula's body and see a harpoon has been shoved into her deeply, just like she was in the movie. So, not only did the Master Villain kill her, he mocked her in death, as well. I take in a deep breath.

"A mechanical shark," Alicia says with a deadpanned voice. "You really couldn't come up with a better story than that?"

Morgana's eyes begin to fill with tears. "It's true! Please believe me!"

Alicia approaches her. She was ready to shoot her. "Such a shame. We might have gone a little easier on you if you'd have told us the truth."

"No! Please!" Then, Flopsem and Jempsom come out from hiding and get in front of her.

"Wait! She's telling the truth! We saw it too!" One of them says.

"There you two are!" Alicia shouts. "You could have been working for her. Why else would you suddenly be defending her?" The three shake in terror of her pin, which begins to glow.

"Alicia!" I shout as I go toward her. I whisper in her ear. "Could they really have killed Ursula so insultingly and now be acting so pathetic to us?"

"Exactly," Alicia says. "They're acting."

"But if she really did do it, then why isn't she attacking us?"

We both turn to her. Alicia asks, "Where is your vessel?"

Morgana says sadly, "He was destroyed."

He?

"When I returned to my lair, I called out to my sidekick, Undertow, but he didn't come to me when I called him. I ended up finding him dead! A sparking harpoon was lodged straight through his precious heart just like the one in my dear sister! I figured that Ursula had something to do with it. I thought she might have sent her eels or something. So, I came over here to take hers. But as I was hiding, well, you already know. And then the machine used another strange mechanism from its mouth to cut off one of her tentacles and leave!" So, Morgana's vessel was her lackey. But why would they take her tentacle?

Then I thought of something else Morgana said.

"Alicia?" I ask her. "Didn't Von Drake mention something about the lightbulb socket sparking a certain color?"

Alicia thinks over the information. She asks Morgana. "What color were the sparks from Undertow's harpoon?"

"Blue," Morgana answers. The two eels comfort her by linking their tails to her arms. "Come to think of it, both of the harpoons were sparkling with that blue color." Alicia grunts as she comes to the realization that we all are starting to get: Morgana could be innocent.

"Hang on," Lulu says. "If that's the case, how could this mechanical shark have entered here and then escape without our noticing?"

Morgan says, "It could have used the passageway behind her vanity that leads out to the open ocean. That's how I got in here, myself."

"Hannah, check behind the vanity," Alicia demands, her pin still targeted to Morgana. I swim over to it and attempt to push. Victoria eventually helps me and we push it aside together. Indeed, there is a hallway on the other side. Alicia murmurs, "Damn. She's right."

Morgana's face is full of relief. "See! I told you!"

Yvette speaks up, "Hold up. What about the gag around Ursula's mouth? How could a mechanical shark do that? And what about the fact that we couldn't hear a single harpoon launching into her?"

"I think we're about to find out," I say with my now-widened eyes still looking into the secret hallway.

"What? Why?" Yvette asks.

"Because that mother effing shark is coming right at us."
