The rise of the dark queen

Sad ending

It's a cloudy, rainy morning in the kingdom, Isabel woke up early because she is heading in the village to get the results. She is nervous because last time she was attacked by a stranger who probably was Morana. That's why she chose to leave the castle early, she wanted to arrive back in the castle while Morana is still asleep, if she will arrives back in the castle harmless, she did her job, and she will be safe, near Grimhilde, who will protect her if it's needed.
As she reaches the pharmacy and goes in the old man already waits for her.
-Thank god you are here! I waited for you!
-And thank you for being here so early, I know this is a big effort for you Mr. Bligsby.
-Everything for the queen's safety! You were right Isabell! This potion what you gave me is a poison! A deadly one, it's not just nocks out someone, you die slowly and painfully from this one. You can only reach this in a far - far land away, how this even got there?
-Snow! I knew they working together! That little rat! - says Isabell, then she looks at the pharmacist - Thank you so much! You served well, for the queen, she will be know about this and reward you!
-I didn't do it for the price, Miss Isabell, I did it because I believe in her! I believe in change and a better life! I don't want Snow back!
Isabell thinks about the coronation, how revengeful was Auretta, she only can hope her little princess won't become just like Snow or worse.
-You know your job, Mr. Bligsby! Not a word for anyone about this!
-Don't worry! I serve Queen Auretta not Snow White!
Isabell nods one with smile to the pharmacist, buts the results and the poison away and starts to walk back in the castle with fear in her eyes.
Every little noise, or move in bushes attack her attention. Now that she suspects snow's hand in it, it makes her more anxious and fearful. She walks as fast as she can in the dark morning looking everywhere, searching a potential attacker, but nothing, she finally sees the castle, she start to rush more, walk more faster, finally she runs into the castle, and finds everything and everyone there, where she left it. She goes in her room hides the evidence, and starts prepare the breakfast.
-I did it! - she feels the fear and nerve go away as she says it out loud and laughs happily.

A few hours later

Grimhilde is the first do go downstairs, she always tries to wake up earlier to help Isabell. She don't mind a little two hand job, she knows that Isabell have much more work to do because so many people is there right now in the castle. And she likes to spend time with her anyways, it reminds her for the good old days, when she was a servant too and they used to work together. They always had a juicy gossip from a royalty, and they laughed so much together.
-Good morning, my dear! - she says as she arrives in the kitchen.
-My queen! Finally you woke up! I did it! I couldn't wait to tell you! We have the results! I hide it in my room, and ready to rivaled!
-Is it what we think it is? - asks Grimhilde exited.
-Yes!
-We got her! Finally I get back my daughter, she needs to see that Morana is the only mistake in this castle!
They are hearing steps, they immediately stop talking, when Andrew arrives.
-Oh it's you! We thought... - Grimhilde starts to speak to Andrew but she stops, when she sees how down he feels himself. - what's wrong honey?
-I'm here to say goodbye! I told you I wait for the coronation and then I go home.
-No! You can't go now! We got the results! Auretta will know that Morana tried to kill her, and sabotage her, and she will forgive you!
-Showing her the real Morana will not help my situation! She thinks I want her crown, that's not because of Morana.
-Andrew please! I ask one more day! You shell see she will forgive you! Give us one more day!
-I guess I can wait a little more! - he says as Grimhilde hugs him.
-But one day, not more, and I will spend it in my room because i don't want confrontation with her.
-Yes! We got that little snitch!  - says happily Isabell and they all celebrating their victory, unfortunately they had no idea, that Morana followed downstairs Andrew and heard everything, and ready to move to the next plan.
*****
Morana runs into her room nervously and writes a letter for her mother:

"The results are here, I don't know what to do, mom help"

She gives the letter to a black bird to be delivered.
Morana didn't go down to eat with the others, she was sitting in her room nervously in the last two hours when suddenly the door opens, she looks there scared, ready to be rivaled, but Snow comes in.
-Mom! Thank god! - she says and runs to hug her - But how did you..?
-I lived here in my childhood, darling, remember? I know this castle better than anyone else, and Auretta's little charm won't help her keeping me away! But let's concentrate on the subject! Where is the result?
-Isabell hide it in her room somewhere.
-Than what are we waiting for?! Lets go!
-But what if she comes in?
-I have my ways, don't worry!
*****
Morana and Snow are marching into Isabell's room and starting to search heavily. They are making a big mess, as they look for the results everywhere. This goes on for long - long minutes, until Morana exclaims:
-I found it! - shows the paper and the poison happily to her mother, who reacts icy for her.
-sshh! Don't yell! Do you want to bring here everyone's attention?
-Sorry mother! - she answers with pain in her voice, to letting her mother down.
Snow sees this, starts to roll her eyes ~ How needy~ she thinks, then tries to fix her fault.
-I'm sorry! I'm proud of you!
Morana starts to smile at her but in this moment Isabell walks in. She closes the door and turns around when she realizes what's happening.
-Snow, Morana!
-Long time no see, my dearest Isabell! - answers Snow with irony in her voice.
In this moment Isabell realizes how big trouble in she, because everyone is out from the castle, Auretta has a meeting, and Grimhilde and Andrew went for a walk. She tries to go near to her window to see if someone is here to yell for help, but no one.
-Going somewhere? - asks Snow as she goes closer and closer to her - No one can help you, Isabell! You will help me, or die!
- I will never let down Queen Grimhilde!
-Same old speech! You would have been on my side, being rich and respected, as my royal nanny, but you chose wrongly then, and you chose wrongly now! - she finishes as she arrived so close to Isabell that she could suffocate her with her bare hands, but she just stands there and looks at her. - I want to know why? Why did you choose a servant instead of a real royalty?
-People are noble in their hearts by being kind and loving, and respectful, and not by born into it - she says it with tears on her eyes - I always tried to teach this lesson to you, my sweet Snow, but you never listened to me!
-Shame, you never had the ability to teach me that! - answers as she feels the pain coming back from her childhood, as she loved this women and she betrayed her. As tears starting to roll down on her face she feels anger for this and on this immediate moment from all of her strength she pushes her as hard as she can.
As morana sees this she wakes up from her foggy head by her mother and screams:
-Mother no!
But it's to late. She hears the voice of the window as it brakes, Isabell falling down from the castle with shards of glass, then landing in the ground. Morana runs next to her mother looks at her then looks down and sees the horrific scene: Isabells's lifeless body, with still open eyes, blood everywhere in the ground. She starts to panic and scream at her:
-Why did you do that? She was a nice women! She didn't deserve death!
-Yes she did!
-Why?
-She left me alone, just like my mom! - she finishes and without looking at her crying scared daughter she left the room.
Isabell died with honor, with braveness, with love in her heart, thinking in her last moment about the person, who she loved the most: Grimhilde.
She died as a hero, never betraying her true queen.
