The Prince of Darkness brings the girl to his domain. He has 3 servants, who are obviously very jealous of Isabel. Isabel excitedly introduces herself to the 3 servants. The Prince of Darkness reveals his true character, as he watches the servants pick on Isabel, and start to tear at her new dress. The 3 servants steal her jewelry. Isabel looks to the Prince of Darkness for protection. To her relief, and approaches her, causing the 3 servants to back off. The Prince of Darkness begins to roughly dance with her. Unsure of what he’s doing, Isabel tries to “enter in”. The Prince of Darkness then roughly cast her aside and pushes her into the 3 servants. He watches, and laughs as they tear the new dress off, and beat her up. Isabel falls to the ground, crying. She tries to appeal to the Prince of Darkness, but he pushes her away, indicating that she is now one of his slaves. The Prince of Darkness orders his servants to take her away.

Isabel is labouring over building a wall, as the 3 servants watch, and make sure she works. It is very hot, and she has no energy left, yet she tries to do her work. Finally, she collapses. The 3 servants try to revive her, by slapping her face. She comes to, and they try to put her back to work. The Prince of Darkness comes in, and orders her to continue working. She is unable to work anymore, and she pleads for mercy. He laughs. Some how, the ring that the Prince of Light gave Isabel, falls out of the Prince of Darkness’ pocket. With all her strength, Isabel rushes for it, and holds it. The Prince of Darkness laughs, mocking the Prince of Light with the ring, saying that he cannot help her now. He orders the 3 servants to take her to the stocks. They put her in, and dance and make fun of her while she is in the stocks. The Prince of Light comes and asks if he could have her back. The girl is excited to see him. The Prince of Darkness laughs and says no. The Prince of Light asks to take her place in the stocks. The Prince of Darkness laughs, and says yes, for sure.
