The picture changes again and the princess is now on a boat docking at a place she recognized. Standing in front of her was the kingdom she grew up in. Out of the corner of her eye she saw the hooded figure from earlier getting of the boat carrying the baby. The princess follows the mystery figure closely wanting to know why she was seeing all this. Following the figure, they approach the back entrance to the castle. The help staff is usually the only people to use this entrance. The figure enters and starts walking down the long hallway until they reach the kitchen. The person looks through the opening of the door, and once seeing it was unoccupied darts across to the next hallway leading to the living quarters. The hooded figure knocks on the king’s assistance door and was quickly waved in. After looking both ways down the hallway the princes tip toes to the door and places her ear against it hoping to hear what is going on. “Here is our sweet Stella please look after her.” “Yes, I will protect her with my life, was not sure if you all have made it out before the kingdom fell.” The woman sounded like she was starting to cry said “My husband did not make it; he was killed before we could make it to the boat.” “Oh, I am so sorry to hear that, please stay with us and we can protect you.” The king assistance says. “No, I cannot stay her and watch the king and queen raise my daughter as their own.” “I also have a group of survivors who made it out with me, we are going to find refuge in Howled.” The female voice said, and the door swings open passing through the princess’s body as if she was a ghost. Catching a glimpse of the hooded figurer, the woman from the painting walked down the hallway back the way she came. The princess then goes into the king’s assistance door and see her friend holding a bundle of cloth. Getting closer now knowing she can not be seen. The princess starts in shock as she looks down at a baby version of her. How could this be true, she remembered being raised by the king and queen. Remembered hearing stories of how she was the miracle baby, after years of the king and queen trying. Her whole life has been a lie. The princess was then plunged into darkness, left with her despair.
