As Ella and Prince Julian prepared to leave Lady Tremaine's home, the air was thick with tension. Lady Tremaine, her eyes burning with a malevolent fury, held a gleaming knife in her hand. With a twisted smile, she snatched Ella's arm and dragged her closer to the well.

The prince, his heart pounding with fear and anger, took a step forward. "Let her go, Lady Tremaine," he commanded, his voice firm.

But Lady Tremaine was beyond reason. She was willing to do anything to maintain her grasp on power and control. She raised the knife higher, the blade glinting in the dim light.

Ella's eyes filled with terror as she struggled to break free from Lady Tremaine's iron grip. She knew that her stepmother was capable of unspeakable cruelty, and the desperation in her eyes mirrored the prince's growing panic.

Just as Lady Tremaine was about to strike, a sudden commotion erupted behind her. Anastasia and Drizella, realizing that their mother's plan was spiraling out of control, had joined the fray. They lunged at Ella, their faces contorted with malice.

But their efforts were in vain. Ella, fueled by sheer determination and an unbreakable spirit, managed to evade their attacks. It was then that a strange mist began to envelop the three of them—Lady Tremaine and her daughters.

As the mist encircled them, their cries of rage and desperation echoed through the air. Prince Julian and Ella watched in astonishment as the mist consumed them, leaving no trace of their malevolence behind.

In the eerie silence that followed, a disembodied voice seemed to fill the air. "They were consumed because their hearts were far from redemption," it intoned cryptically.

Ella and Prince Julian exchanged bewildered glances, unable to comprehend the supernatural events that had just transpired. But one thing was clear: the threat of Lady Tremaine and her daughters was no more.

As they stood there, on the precipice of the well that had played a pivotal role in their intertwined destinies, Ella and Prince Julian found solace in the knowledge that kindness had triumphed over darkness.
