Snow and Morana standing in front of each oder, ready to work together and let their past go away. All of this for revenge.
-So,  what's your plan?
-I realized Andrew loves Auretta because she is pure and good hearted. Ands he sees through me, that's why he avoids me. If I could reverse everything and show him that Auretta is the bad one and I'm the nice one he would chose me.
-There is one problem with this! We don't have ages to strike!
-Could you appreciate my ideas at least once in your life?
-Okey then! What's your improvement in this?
-Well.. I smile a lot..and stay calm..
-That's what I'm talking about!
-I just don't get it! I bought Auretta immediately!
-Yes honey, because Auretta is lonely and desperate to have family. - she looks at Morana and sees how disappointed she is and decides to moderate herself for the plan - look I don't say that your plan is bad! But we need to change strategy! Think sweetheart! They are together now! You can make her jealous, right?
-Yes! Last time when Andrew helped me I hugged her and she become super jealous.
-Then use it! Ask help! Even if he sees trough you he will help because that's what good people do! You kiss him, Auretta sees it and there it is! You just sit back and watch her ruining her own happiness. Andrew will realize you how bad Auretta can be and he will chose you!
Morana looks at her mother emotionless. She had to admit that her mother's plan faster and will work, but there is something what is odd in her mother's kindness.
-And you mother?
-What do you mean?
-Why is that good for you?
-What I can't help my daughter to get what he wants?
-Come on! I know you.. don't lie to me.
-Auretta will be vulnerable so i can defeat her.
-Do you think this will work?
-Of course my dear!
"For me" thinks Snow White. That boy will never chose her daughter...especially after a crime like this. But Auretta will be hurt. She then tells the truth from her mother. Auretta will feel herself betrayed from the two most people who she loves. Then Snow will easily overpower her.
-Well, I should go back! Grimhilde and Isabell always go after me..they're so annoying..
-Don't tell me.. I grew up next to them. But there is one thing we need to win the fight!
-What would it be?
-You have to be friends and speak with Auretta before the plan! We need magic! Gin her trust and ask her how she got it!
-Practically done, mommy! She trust in me!
-Good girl! - she says as she pets her like a she would be a stupid loyal puppy of hers.
Meanwhile Morana swims in happiness that her mother finally cares about her, little did she know that this is all just an evil plan of hers.
*****
When Morana arrives home she has luck: Auretta sits under her mother's apple tree and she seems sad. It's time some sibling heart to heart speech.
-Are you sad? - hears Auretta from her back, she turns and sees Morana. - Something wrong with Andrew?
-No, Andrew is fine! It's just my mother...I miss her you know.. sometimes I come there to remember... at least for something... I don't really remember how se looked like or her voice... but I know how she smelled... I still have her clothes and sometimes I use those to remember at least some part of her.
-I'm sorry! - answers Morana as she sits down.
-It's not fair that I had this little time with her..because of... - then she stops
-That's okey! Say it... because of SnowWhite...I'm not proud of her either... but try to think about the good thinks you have! There is Isabell and Elizabeth! Practically there are your mothers. Why don't you try to spend more time with Elizabeth? She is a little bit like her... no?
-How do you know that? I never told anyone that she reminds me to her.
-I know that because of your love towards her.
-Well, yeah... we spent some time together but it reeducated because of Andrew.
-The point is you are not alone! There is Isabell and Elizabeth!
-And Andrew!
-And Andrew. - she repeats her as she looks in front of herself. Maybe it's not a good idea at all, she suffered a lot because of Snow... and now she wants to take her happiness away from her for a boy. If anyone could understand what is like to suffer she does... because of her mother... who neglected her all of her life, and now she is there, that's her chance to show her that she deserves her love. She have to make a choice: she chose her mother who never loved her or she chose an innocent. Auretta looks at her and sees that she is deep in her thoughts.
-Hey, are you alright?
-Yes I was just wondering about something...
-About what?
-About magic. - there it is, she chose wrong again. Maybe Grimhilde is right.. she is like her mother... evil.. maybe she born that way and that's who she is. - How did you get it? Your mother had magic right? Did you born with it?
-Oh .. - she answers surprised - no, actually we both got it in the same way...
-Really how?
-From this tree...
-But how is that possible?
-Well, I'm just guessing.. but we both nurtured it, we both had good intentions with it, so we got it when we wished for it.
-Interesting! It's hell of a good apple tree! - she jokes as she looks at the tree suspiciously.
-Well anyways, I have to go! I have a lot of work to do. Feel free to stay there, but don't touch my apple! - she smiles and goes away.
Morana is looking how she goes away then she sarcastically comments it.
-Why the hell I would touch her apples? I don't even like them! - she says as she stand up and looks at the tree. - Now tell me, how do you work? I just have to wish? - she looks around, doesn't see anyone so she decides to wish - Please big majestic apple tree, take my wish! I want magic and power! - she waits a minute, nothing is changed. She decides to try it out, but still nothing happens. - Oh this thing is useless! What did I do wrong!
-Everything! - she hears Grimhilde's voice.
-How did you..
-The tree only gives power for those who have pure heart! And you don't... maybe try to ask from something evil.. like your mother! - she answers with a sarcastic smile.
-Make fun of me Grimhilde... but when you will die without letting your daughter to know that you are here and you support her, don't cry!
-My daughter, my business..
-My mother my business...
-You think you so smart Morana! But tell me... after you showed your mommy that you deserve her love, and you won't get it because she is not capable for such thing... what will you do?
-After that? I will destroy all of you! - she answers wickedly and leaves Grimhilde alone.
