Auretta sits in front of her mirror. She looks into it and watches herself being the same devastated, orphan girl who she always was. For a moment she believed that there is hope for love.
Her mothers passing took the love from her but Andrew's arriving started to fill up that hole. And now she is all alone, again!
She trusted in Andrew and that's what happened. She took him in, made him less miserable, gave him food, a place to live... she just asked from him to help her win over Snow, but instead of this man played with her and tricked her. She just lost her last little light, her hope for a better life.
And after that, how can she trust to anyone?
Morana also betrayed her, it just matter of time when Elizabeth will show her real interest.. why she could be here? Not because she loves her, that's not possible, everyone just went trough her and used her kindness. But this ends now! She promised that her mom will get back her reputation and she will make it come true. She will never ever let to someone use her again. The kindness is over from now one.
-I am Princess Auretta, the daughter of king Leopold and Queen Grimhilde, this kingdom belongs to me, I will take what mine and no one will get in my way no matter what I have to do with them! - she yells - no one will hurt me again! - she says as she breaks the mirror, then she walks in her wardrobe - it's over! No more sweet, kind Auretta! You'll all see what you did to me! - she continues as she grabs all her bright, light colored clothes and starts to rip them apart - you'll see, you'll all see! You made a monster! No one will thank for themselves what's coming next!

Grimhilde and Isabell preparing the table for dinner as they speak about the unfortunate happenings.
-I'm telling you, Isabell, you should see my daughter, she was so angry and merciless with Andrew.
-Of course she was! She feels betrayed. You would react pretty similar if you just realized your love is cheated on you.
-Andrew does not cheated on Auretta, it was a trap! And if she would listen for a moment to Andrew or me she could see the truth. That Morana should go because she is dangerous!
-But what next my queen? Andrew have to go now!
-I will try my best to connivance her, but until then it's better if Andrew stays away from her, so I bring him up a little food, he does not need to meet with her right now. In that way we only have to deal with Morana. I don't know what will happen with her next but i have a feeling she will be punished very hard!
-But not sent away..
-Unfortunately..no.. In don't think so Isabell! We're going to need more than this.
-Yes! The results! I'm going to get those in about two days.
-Oh, Lord! Two days! It's so long... I hope Auretta  doesn't do anything in that two days.
-We can just hope! Unless...
-Unless what?
-Confess Grimhilde! She just wants her mommy back!
-No! I'm not ready for that! - she says as she picks up Andrew's dinner and starts to walk away.
-At least think about it, please! I think this is our only hope!
-If we don't have choice I will do it, but until then I keep my secret, so as you!

Morana walks down on the stairs and goes to the dining room, as she walks in she sees Isabell and Grimhilde as they wait for Auretta.
-Why is only three plate on the dining table?
-Because we don't serve food for rats! - answers Isabell angrily.
-Isabell... - Grimhilde warns her
-You stinky little made...
-Something is wrong? - asks someone from the door.
Everyone turns the direction of the voice and they see Auretta walking near to Morana, in all black, with inexpressive mimic, she looks cold and emotionless. As Grimhilde and Isabell watches her look like this they immediately feels the negative energy spreading from her, and they just know.. it's bad.. really bad, and there will terrible things happen if they don't stop Auretta.
-Yes! There is a problem! I didn't get food!
-How bad sis! You can't steal someone else's food just like you did with my boyfriend!
-Look, I don't know what Andrew said to you but...
-Silence! - screams Auretta - I don't care about your story! You betrayed me! So you going to get what you deserve!
-What does this means? - asks Morana mortified
-You'll see! - she says than looks at Grimhilde and Isabell - I'm not hungry! You can give food the "rat" - repeats Isabell's word, then she goes away.
Isabell bursts in laugh, Morana looks at her then runs in her bedroom with shame.
-That's not funny! Don't laugh! - Grimhilde hits Isabell's arm lightly then stands up and goes after Auretta.
-Wait! Please! Look, sweetheart, I know it's hard for you now but Isabell and I worried about you very much! At least eat a few bites!
-Elizabeth, why are you here?
-What?
-You heard me! Answer!
-I told you I lost everything and I was a true subject of your mom... I just...
-Liar! I will find out what you want from me! Everyone who let me down, you want something and I will find out what is it!
-You right! I'm there becauseI'm your...
-Enough! Don't tell me more lies.. just leave me alone! I have some lives to destroy! - she walks in her room and shuts the door on Grimhilde, leaving alone her, worried and terrified from her own daughter.
*****
As Auretta walks in her room she suddenly feels bad for Grimhilde, and almost goes back to apologize but this goes away very quickly as she reminds herself her real job: giving justice to her mom's memory and getting back her throne.
-Well lets  deal with Morana at first: what is her most valuable thing? - she looks in the broken mirror and smiles - of course! The same as for me! Her mother! I will destroy her mother! This will be the most painful punishment to her too! And sh will be there to see everything! I will punish you Morana! You and your mother stole everything from me and now I will pay back the lovely kindness!
