Everyone gasped. But after Snow White's disappearance, nothing much could shock them. No one fainted, which was lucky, because Tiana and Belle had the smelling salts. Suddenly, a thought came to Pocahontas. "Where's Mushu? Was he down here with Mulan? Is he still on the main floor of the castle?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, the pile of heavy chains on the floor lifted slightly. "Should we move them?" Jasmine said. "What should we do? It could be something dangerous..."
The pile continued to quiver. A single red talon reached out under the heavy metal chains. "It's Mushu!" Aurora cried. "Help me move the chains!" Aurora, Jasmine, and Pocahontas lifted the chains off Mushu. He looked weak and depressed, but nothing looked broken and he wasn't bleeding. Pocahontas carried him back to the gardens, where Tiana was with Belle, now conscious. "Well? What happened down there?" Tiana questioned.
"Mulan is dead. We found Mushu down there underneath a pile of chains."
Tiana sat down next to Belle in the soil. "So that means...Mulan didn't do it. We treated her badly and left her in the dungeons for life, and she was innocent all along."
Belle said in reply, "And if Mulan didn't do it...who did?"
"It must have been someone magic, or with magic accomplices. Snow White just vanished, right when she was about to tell us who killed Cinderella and Ariel. Now Mulan is gone, and so is Snow White." Aurora said. "So it could have been Jasmine...she has Genie. Or Tiana...Mama Odie could've done it. Belle's married to a beast, that's pretty darn magic. Pocahontas has Grandmother Willow, but she's just a tree. But what's up with those neon orange leaves, Poca?"
Jasmine said, "It was you. You killed them, Aurora."
"WHAT?!"
"It makes sense. You invited us here. And what happens after you invite us here? We all start dropping dead. Ariel was killed while we were all sleeping. Cinderella was killed in the garden, alone with Snow White. Mulan was killed in the dungeons, when none of us were around. You could've easily sent guards on Cinderella, Snow White, and Mulan. You're still alive. You have THREE magical beings. And Maleficent was the mistress of all evil. She cursed you and had you hypnotized. For all we know, you're still carrying out her evil deeds."
"But Maleficent is dead! Phillip killed her!"
"Exactly. Why would she use you if she was still alive?"
"But-"
"Marie!"
Marie came running to Jasmine's side. "Yes, dear? What do you need? I heard about Snow White and Mulan. You must be so sad-"
"Please take Aurora to the dungeons."
"Why?"
Jasmine repeated her evidence. Belle, Pocahontas, and Tiana backed her up. Marie looked at Aurora, who begged Marie to not take her away. She stood, shocked at what she was hearing about the girl she'd worked for and cared for. Marie turned to a one of the ever-present guards: "Lock the princess away. Notify her in-law, parents, fairies, and husband."
The remaining princesses, not wanting to acknowledge Aurora in any way, ignored her pleas and screams for help. Turning on their heels, they strode down a hall lined with suits of armor. But suddenly, four swords worked themselves lose from the metal gloved hands and flew at the princesses. Pocahontas, Belle, and Tiana managed to duck, but Jasmine was right next to the wall. From the ground, her friends watched as her head was sliced off and fell to the ground.
