Sadie reaches her hand through the door and pulls on the knob, opening it. Everyone gets out of the tower and finds Andrew sitting on the floor in the same spot Deidamia left him.

"Oh! Is that Andrew?" Asked Sadie. Amanda puts her finger up to her lips, then she and the others approach Andrew. Paul whispers into his ear. "Andrew, are you listening?" He asked. Andrew nods. "Don't say anything. This is Sadie." Said Paul. Andrew looks over at the princess. "Go upstairs with her, and we'll explain what you have to do." Paul said quietly.

Andrew nods then follows Sadie and the others upstairs. Paul, however, stays behind. "Did you understand all that, Andrew?" Sadie asked after she explained what to do. "I understand it better than you do." Said Andrew.

Meanwhile

Paul quietly goes to Deidamia's room, where her headless body is asleep. Her hand is exposed, and her key tied to it.

The Tower

"Over here." Said Sadie. She shows the others a woman who's sitting on a chair, but she's sleeping. "Who's this?" Asked Odette "This is Raisa, she can turn herself into anything. You name it, she can do it." Sadie said. "A pegasus?" Asked Amanda. "Yep!" Said Sadie. "A dragon?" Asked Derek. "Yes!" Sadie said. "A raccoon?" Odette asked. "You know it!" Said Sadie. "A peacock?" Andrew asked. Sadie nods.

"Why is she sleeping?" Derek asked. "Deidamia put her under a sleeping spell, and that's why we need that Powder of Life so we can wake her up and get out of here." Sadie said.

Deidamia's Room

Being as careful as he can, Paul unties the ribbon on Deidamia's hand, but her body suddenly turns. Paul ducks behind her bed, thinking she sensed him. Luckily, she didn't. The Beatle bassist grabs the key then gets out of Deidamia's room.

The Tower

"Do you think she'll be able to carry all six of us?" Asked Odette. "Oh sure, Raisa can enlarge herself as she shapeshifts! This'll be a cinch!" Said Sadie. "Cinch?" Said Puffin.

Downstairs

Paul walks into the room with all the heads. They're all asleep. Butterflies fill Paul's stomach and he gulps, nervous of what to expect. Cabinet 31 was right in front of him, so he unlocks it and finds Deidamia's original head inside. Paul lets out a gasp, but covers his mouth in hopes that she didn't hear him.

Deidamia didn't wake up, fortunately. Even better, the Powder of Life was there too. Paul slowly reaches for it, but accidentally knocks over a small bottle that was in front of it, waking Deidamia up in the process.

A scared expression appears on Paul's face. "Paul McCartney!" Said Deidamia. All the other heads wake up, Paul grabs the Powder of Life, causing screams from the other heads. Deidamia continuously says Paul's name, while the other heads do the same thing as he closes the cabinet, and the headless body wakes up.

Though he was scared, Paul knew he had to make a run for it. He takes Deidamia's key and escapes as the headless body walks with her arms outstretched. It doesn't grab Paul, luckily, mainly because it's going to get her head.

After Paul gets out of the room, he tries to remember where the entrance to the tower is, while Deidamia's voice echoes in the background.

Nobody gets away!!

Struggling to remember where the door that leads to the tower is, Paul feels relief wash over him as he sees an image of a woman in the mirror behind him, telling the Beatle bassist that was the door that takes him to the tower.

Right after Paul opens the door, Deidamia yells in the background.

Where's my Powder of Life?!?!
