The rise of the dark queen

Unity is strenght

It's midday, Isabell on her way to home is attacked by a black hooded person who racing towards her with a large dagger. She is so surprised she can't even react, she just looks at her attacker scared and  ready to die. Suddenly a horse gallops near to her and stops when they arrive to her. Prince Andrew gets down and pulls his sword, he prepares to fight. As this black hooded person sees this immediately stops and starts do back off. Andrew slowly tries to get closer to the attacker, they just start to run. Andrew sees this and decides he got this person but before he could start to chase them Auretta grabs his hand and stops him.

-Don't!

-But he tried to hurt Isabell! They could be the same who attacked me and Grimh... I mean Elizabeth.

Auretta looks at her strange for a moment but her attention directs to Isabell, who is still shaking.

-Doesn't matter Andrew! The important thing is that you saved her!

Auretta hugs Isabell, and tries to calm her down.

-Are you okey auntie?

She nods slowly, then looks at Andrew.

-You saved my life! Thank you!

-It's nothing! I'm happy we arrived there just in time, and I could help you! Thank God we were riding in this direction.

-Don't worry Auntie! You're safe now! Come, we will go home with you! I won't let you alone now!

-Thank you honey! – She answers quietly as Auretta embrace her and they start to walk home.

As they arrive in the castle Grimhilde immediately marches there and looks at them nervously. She just knew what Morana's intention was. As she looks at Isabell, how she gets help to walk from Auretta, she become mortified.

-Oh dear Lord! Isabell! What happened?

-Please don't be scared, but someone attacked her in the entrance of the village. – replays Auretta instead of Isabell, who is still trying to pull herself together. – But don't worry! Luckily we were near to her and Andrew saved her! As soon as this person saw him he started to run like a coward! Snow has really useless servants! Thankfully! – she finishes as she squeezes Isabell's hand warmly.

-Oh my God! You poor thing! Come with me! I make you a warm tea, you can calm down now Isabell, you are in home! – says Grimhilde, then leads the mortified Isabell to the kitchen. She helps her sit down and starts to make the tea with chamomile. – Don't worry! This will calm you down! – she says as she gives her the tea. She sits down next to Isabell ad watches her as se slowly drinks the tea.

-Thank you your highness!

Grimhilde doesn't answers for a minute, she just looks in front of herself. Then finally looks at Isabell with worries. She seemingly starts to calm down from her trauma.

-This is all my fault! I should go to the pharmacist.

-What are you talking about?

-The person who attacked you is Morana. She knew our plan, she played us that she is sick, then she escaped.

-She did?

-Yes! I checked on her several times! She was definitely missing! She wanted to kill you to not reach the pharmacist!

-And she wasn't succeed! I already gave the poison to the pharmacist when she arrived.

-Oh thank God! And for you of course, and for Andrew – she says as she looks at Isabel significantly

-Okey, I have to admit, that boy isn't so bad as I thought! – she pauses for a moment – but Good Lord! That girl wanted to kill me! She is evil! And she lives with us!
