A mysterious woman in a hood stands in the forest next to a big tree. She seemingly tries to hide her face. Snow White arrives at the scene, she gets out from her carriage and starts to walk the direction of the hooded woman. As she reaches her the women turns her direction and take off the hood: it's Morana seemingly nervous from the thought that someone could follow her.
-Mother!
-Did you get what I wanted?
-Yes! Grimhilde's and Auretta's magic comes from the apple tree. They both made a wish, to protect their kingdom for good.
-Perfect! Then next mission: get me to the tree.
-You wasting your time! I already tried it! The tree gives power for those who need it and fully pure hearted.
-Thank you for your information, but you underestimate my power! I will get what I want! You should know that!
-That's a bad idea! The place full of magic, and guarded by army...
-Enough, Morana! i'm going to get in, and you will help me!
-Yes, mother!
-That's my girl! Now, you have one job! Make sure no one see me! - she finishes and they both head of to the castle.
-So, how is dad? - asks Morana as they on their way.
-He is fine! - answers shortly.
-Did he ask about me? - she tries to speak with her.
-Not really.
-Doesn't he miss me?
-Morana, why are you wasting my energy, to answer your stupid meaningless questions?
-Sorry, mother! I was just trying to communicate with you, just like mothers and daughters do.
Snow looks at her daughter with disgust.
-You spend to much time with those hippies!
-Sorry! - answers Morana,and they continue their plan in silence.
As they arrive to the castle, Morana goes to speak with the guards, to direct their attention from her mother, who tries to sneak in.
-Hello gentleman! How are you today? - she asks as she make a sign to her mother to run inside.
-Since when did you start to be nice to others?
Morana looks her mother getting closer, but she needs more time.
-I'm lonely!- she answers as she rolls her eyes.
-How wouldn't you? If you can't be nice to others, no one gives attention to you!
She sees her mother as she is successfully gets in.
-Okey, bye freaks! - she says and rushes after her mother.
-That's what I'm talking about! - she ears one of the guards yell after her but she is not really pays attention to them, the is on her way to make sure no one from the castle will find her mother, otherwise they both suck.
Snow arrives to the tree. She starts to smile evilly.
-Well, well, well! Who's going to get powers now! - she looks at it for a moment then she starts to act. - I wish I could have magic, to protect my family and my kingdom!
Snow waits for a moment. Nothing changed. How should she know it worked?
*****
Morana goes inside, but she founds no one. Probably everyone is in their room. When she starts to calm down that no one will notice the whole crime suddenly Andrew appears in the hallway.
-Andrew! Hy, where is everyone?
-Why?
-Because I can't find my cousin?
-She went for a walk with Grimhilde!
-And where do you going?
-I'm visiting my horse, Philip, why? - she asks back suspiciously.
-Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you!
-I thought you wanted to talk to Auretta.
-Actually, I wanted to talk with both of you! But you will be enough for now!
-I really want to go, Morana!
-Please! It's just five minutes! And it's very important! - she says nervously.
-Fine! But make it quick! - replays Andrew as they go to the living room and sit down.
-Were is Isabell, by the way?
-She had to lay down, she still traumatized from the attack. But why are you asking where is everyone?
-I wanted to talk to you privately, that's all this is! I don't want anyone to disturb us.
-So, make it fast! What do you want, Morana?
-I just wanted to say sorry! For everything! I wasn't really the best person in my whole life! But i'm not my mother! I don't want to hurt you or Auretta! Sorry for that attack what almost killed you and Grimhilde, and sorry for that thing what I did to you, to make Auretta jealous! I get that you like each other guys, so I'm backing of!
-Okey?! Can I go now?
-Well, I have to say one more thing! - she tries to make it longer to give her mother chance to go.
-What? - asks Andrew mindlessly.
-I hope one they we can be friends...
-Thank you! That was..something! I really have to go now! - he stands up and tries to get ride of Morana, but she starts to run after him.
-Wait, I have questions!
-Five minute is expired!
-Do you like horses? I heard you have been teaching Auretta how to ride, can you help me too?
-No way! - he answers and finally goes out, and starts to walk the direction of the sheds, the problem is that he will pass trough on his way the place where Snow is.
Meanwhile Snow still tries to figure out her new powers what she could get. In that minute she notices Andrew coming, and Morana casing him. This is the perfect opportunity to her. She can try her power on this boy.
Andrew immediately notices Snow standing near to him. She looks at Morana angrily.
-This is what you tried to hide from me?
-What?! Oh no! Mother, what are you doing there? - she tries to act, but Andrew can't be brought. He gets his sword.
-Go away, you evil person!
Snow lifts her hands, ready to see if her wish worked. Morana notices this and stands in front of Andrew to save him. Snow doesn't really care about this, so she tries to attack her own daughter. Morana starts to scream. Nothing happened. It doesn't work. Snow don't have power. But Andrew doesn't know about that! It's Morana's time.
-She attacked me! Andrew help!
In that moment Grimhilde and Auretta arrives back and witness everything.
Andrew tries to attack Snow how runs away immediately. Andrew ready to chase her, but Morana grab his hands pull close to her and hugs her.
-You saved me! - she says and kisses him. Andrew is so surprised that in the first few moments he can't even react.
Auretta sees this and almost collapse, Grimhilde catches her, and tries to hold her, to not fall to the ground.
Snow sees everything from the distance and starts to laugh.
-Maybe I didn't get magic, but finally my daughter does something meaningful! Finally! My precious sister, you will fall apart, and I will destroy you, if it is the last thing I do!
