"The fire was too much for her." Her mother began showing tears. Mulan had never seen her mother cry. This was all her fault. She laid Shu Fang down on the ground and looked at the suprised look of all the people from the village. They probably started the fire. it was one of them.. But which one. She searched their faces until she landed on one. Sui- Yen's. Sui-Yen stared at her. Her eyes bore into Mulan's . Sui-Yen smiled and mouthed. 'Adultress'.
Okay This is to help tie the ending into the story better. Chapter 14 almost there.
Mulan stared at Sui-Yen in horror. She smiled a cute little smile and looked horrified. Mulan noted that people went up to Sui-Yen and offered her a pat on the back to make her feel better as she cried. No one came near Mulan, and it was her, not Sui-Yen that had lost a grandmother, a fiancee, and a child. Mulan felt a hand rest upon her shoulder. She quickly turned around. It was her father's. She watched him change his gaze from her to Sui-Yen, and he instantly knew what had happened. He looked down at Mulan and knew that she knew what Sui-Yen had done.
"Normally, Mulan, I would tell you to be the bigger person and let it go, our family is all about rebuilding and adversity. But I believe that if your grandmother were here she'd tell you." Fa Zhou moved close to his daughter's ear, so only Mulan could hear it. "Give her a left hook." Mulan looked at her father, who took the dead child from Mulan's grasp. Mulan gave a sad look towards the blanket that held Shu-Fang. She felt in that instant a nerve in her body snap. She couldn't help it. Mulan felt her body go numb as she stood up and walked toward Sui-yen who was faking a cry. Mulan walked up to solemly. Sui-Yen noticed Mulan.
"Oh Mulan I'm so sorry for you loss. It must be horrible." Mulan nodded. "I could imagine losing my family or fiancee. What was that rag you were holding onto anyways?" Sui-Yen asked trying to look concerned.
"That rag, was my daughter." Mulan said with hatred in her voice. Sui-Yen's eyes widened.
"You had a daughter?" She smiled, "I guess MY fiancee wasn't the only guy you've stolen." Sui-Yen smiled a satisfactory smile, happy with cutting Mulan down one more notch. Mulan noticed out of the corner of her eye, the matchmaker walking on scene. Mulan knew she was making a mistake, but she knew it had to be done.
In an instant Mulan had lunged at Sui-Yen knocking her to the ground. Sui-Yen didn't even have time to react. No one even noticed that Mulan had gone after Sui-Yen, Mulan had Sui-Yen down and was scratching at her face. She heard Sui-Yen let out a few more screams, but Mulan continued hitting her.
"This is for killing my Grandmother, MY FIANCEE and my daughter!" Mulan screamed. Some of the villagers noticed that she had gone after Sui-Yen, A lot of them were shocked to see a girl go after another girl with such malicious intent. No one was really sure how to get Mulan away from Sui-Yen. "You, You started this all. If you could have just stayed out of my life with Shang. If you would have just backed away and let him choose, other than going after your aunt to arrange you........he'd still be alive!" Mulan screamed as she thrashed out at Sui-Yen a few more times. Sui-Yen, by this time, had passed out. (whether it be from pain or shock we'll never know.) Mulan finally quit hitting at Sui-Yen and pushed herself away from her. She laid her head down upon the ground in anguish. She began to sob. Why did this all have to happen to her? it was supposed to be perfect.
" Ha! Now she'll never get a husband." the matchmaker smirked to a villager who was watching the whole thing.
"I don't think a husband is her greatest concern right now." A few of the men from the village walked over to the crying Mulan and took her wrists and began to pull her up. Mulan looked at her fingers they were covered in dirt and grime from the fire and blood from Sui-Yen.
"Fa Zhou, We will have you stay with the Hsao family for the night, Tomorrow we will have everyone out here, that can come and see what we can do about the house." Said the head villager. He was a man about Fa Zhou's age.
"What about Mulan?" Fa Zhou asked looking at the men that had picked Mulan off of the ground. "Will she be okay with us?" The head villager shook his head.
"Mulan has broken so many laws, she will have to come with us." The men began to take her with them. "Pray for her. I will try my hardest to save her but to tell the truth she's broken so many laws. " Mulan was taken away from her house. She didn't really care though. What did she have to live for?
The men decided to take her to the small room. It was as close to a jail as they got. Mulan looked around, they allowed her ro wash up a bit and prepare for bed. The main villager walked into the room.
"Mulan, I am going to try to save you but I need you on my side okay?" Mulan looked at him. She was completely broken now. She had no need to continue. What was Mulan without Shang? "Mulan? Mulan." The man finally grabbed Mulan's attention. She looked up at him. "Now, I just need you to act really sorry and tell them that your ancestors talked to you and you taken off the path by temptation. And you are back on the path and we might be able to let you off as a crazy woman or maybe you could consider never being married. It might just save you." Mulan remained quiet. The man took the silence as a sign of her thinking it over. He left, hoping there was hope for her.
Mulan closed her eyes, she knew she needed sleep but it took her forever to get the horrible scream out of her head. It took even longer to get the image of Shu-fang out of her head. She finally felt her mind shut down and she knew she was falling asleep.
She was transported to her house. It was a clean lovely spring and her house was okay. She was fine. No fire or anything. She walked to the tree and sitting there were Li Ming and Li Zhong, Shang's grandparents.
"But, I don't understand..." Mulan began. "I expected to see Shang, not you guys." Li Ming Smiled at Mulan lovingly.
"Shang died in the fire. You have to listen to us. Do you remember what our letter said? Mulan felt tears begin to fall down her face she nodded.
""Not everything is as it appears. Don't wait to let your feelings show, not all dreams need to come true." she felt her voice grow shakey. If she wasn't careful she'd start crying again.
"Go be with Shang Mulan. You guys need to be together all ways." Mulan looked at Li Ming and Li Zhong questioningly, almost blankly for a minute. All of the sudden, Li Zhong pulled out a blade and stabbed Mulan in the stomach.. She looked down at the sword. And everything went black..
