"Victoria, wake up," said her mother, Alice. Victoria wakes up and walked downstairs of the mansion. Victoria saw her parents in formal clothing.

"Are we going anywhere?" asked Victoria. "We're going to Bombay," said her father, Charles. Victoria hugged both her parents as they left. Victoria is now alone, with the servants at the mansion. Then, Victoria decides to plat the piano. As she plays the piano, one of the servants, Greta took an interest on Victoria.

"That's a beautiful waltz," praised Greta. "Thank you. I've been practicing," said Victoria. "Your hair is beautiful. Do you mind if I touch it?" said Greta. "You may," said Victoria. Greta took a pair of scissors and cut a lock of Victoria's hair.

"Why did you cut my hair?" asked Victoria, curiously. "On, because it looks beautiful," hesitated Greta. Victoria looks suspicious and continues to play the piano. Greta walks outside and went into the woods.

Greta went into a cottage and took a book with spells and magic. "One lock of hair and she'll die," said Greta, wickedly.

The full moon begins to shine brightly. Victoria walked to her bedroom and saw Greta preparing her bed. "Sleep well, child," said Greta. "Of course, Greta," said Victoria. "Before that, you should drink a cup of water. It's refreshing," said Greta. Victoria politely decline. "Thank you but I'm not thirsty." Greta offered tea but she declines.

"I insist. The tea will make you feel better," said Greta. "Greta, I'm not thirsty," said Victoria. "Well, if you don't want tea, then I'll just throw it away," said Greta. "Wait, maybe I'll just take a sip," said Victoria. As she sip her tea, she begins to feel giddy. Greta hold Victoria tightly and begins to recite her spell. Victoria begins to scream and tried to let go of Greta's grip but Greta holds her tightly.

As Greta finish reciting, she took the devil's knife and stabbed Victoria by her torso. Victoria falls and started to bleed. Greta opens the door and ran. When the other servants went into Victoria's room, they panicked and asked for help. The next day, they buried Victoria by the gardens.

Most of the town's people felt sad about Victoria's death. To them, it was tragic for a young girl to die in a horrid way. Greta felt relieved about her death and begins to set sail to the New World.
