Ecid arrived back at the theater and dropped Belle on a wooden chair. The chair instantly wrapped its arms around Belle's chest, preventing her from getting up.

"What do you want?" Belle asked, raising a brow.

"You know Ariel?" Ecid asked, walking around the chair.

"Of course I know her," Belle answered. "Who doesn't?"

"She's not your friend," Ecid said.

"What?" Belle asked.

"She's not your friend."

"How dare you say that?"

"She's your rival."

"Shut up!"

"She's your enemy!"

"Leave me alone!"

"Look into my eyes, Belle!"

Ecid grabbed Belle's neck and lowered her head to the princess.

Belle blinked and tilted her head. "What? Are you wearing contacts?"

"Just wait," Ecid said. "It takes a few moments for this eye spell to kick in. Ah, there we go."

Belle's pupils turned into spirals while looking into Ecid's glowing eyes.

"Ariel is your rival, your enemy. She wants to kill you. You must kill her first," Ecid explained. "Well, it wouldn't hurt to kill the others. That is all."

Belle drooled. "Yes, master."

"Okay, you're out of the spell," Ecid said.

"Yes, master" Belle moaned.

"Belle?" Ecid asked, snapping her fingers in Belle's face.

Belle blinked and her eyes returned to normal. "What?"

"All right," Ecid laughed, clapping her hands with glee. "Off you go!"

Ecid kicked the chair back and Belle vanished before the chair hit the ground. Belle appeared in the Forest of Beginnings, right next to the group.

"What the-Belle!" Aurora gasped.

"Welcome back," Phantom Blot said. "What did Ecid want?"

Belle shrugged. "I don't remember."

Belle looked at Ariel and narrowed her eyes.

"Belle?" Ariel asked. "Are you feeling well? You look angry."

"Oh, nothing," Belle answered.

Ecid kicked the hour glass.

The ground shook, cracks formed everywhere.

"What's happening?" Aurora screamed.

The ground broke way and the princesses and villains fell. They all screamed as they fell down into darkness, dirt and grass falling with them. When they landed, they all fell unconscious.
