As Snow march into the castle, ready to leave the past behind and finally kill her own sister for taking her happiness away.
Grimhilde and Andrew hears the opening of the front door and they run down immediately. They see Snow downstairs as they trying to get down before Aurora.
-Don't even try you wicked woman! - yells Andrew as he gets his sword.
-You have no choice then back of Snow! - continues Grimhilde as she rises her hand to use magic if it's necessary.
Snow looks at them and starts to laugh.
-You can't do anything! This is not your fight! Where is my sister! - she yells.
-I'm here, Snow White! - answers Auretta as she hears the yelling. - Leave them alone!
-I don't want anything to do with them! I'm here for you my darling sister!
-Why is the hate? You killed my mother, you took the one thing from me which was worthy, I took your crown to protect the people from your cruelty. Haven't we both suffered enough? Why are you hating me this much? What did I do to you to get this? You are my sister, you should protect me not kill me.
-What did you do to me? - she laughs - you were born! - answers with hate.
-I don't understand you I was never tried to take your throne before, why did you see me as a treat?
-You stole her love from me! - she yells
-Whom are you talking to? My mother?
-She supposed to be my mother! After I lost my birth mom she was the only one who stood by me until you were born! You stole her from me!
-You are out of your mind! She was my birth mother! Of course she loved me! But she also loved you too you know, you were the one who couldn't share! You filled with your heart with hate! All along you hated me for a reason which only existed in your mind? You killed her and tortured me for no reason!
-How could I kill someone whom I loved? - she whispers with and evil smile.
-What? - asks Auretta confused.
-I can't say the same thing about you! - she says and pulls out a sword, ready to kill her when a voice stops her from the distance.
-Stop! - yells Morana as she stands top of the stairs. Everyone looks at her as she walks down and stands in front of her mother.
-Stay out of this Morana! - Snow responds to her daughter with anger.
-No! - she yells. - All I wanted is to be loved, to belong to someone, to have a family, that's why I wanted to be so good for you, to be recognized and loved by you! That's why I wanted Andrew, why not? If you found a prince who could take you out from your hell, why can't I? You made me think you where the victim, and Auretta is the villain. But no! I couldn't be more wrong! I was manipulated by you! All along I didn't realize that I had that peace what called love and family! - she turns to Auretta. - I'm really sorry Auretta, truly am! For everything! All along you were there for me, loved me,m accepted me and all I did was using this to destroy you, so my mother will love me then! How stupid and wrong I was! You deserve to know the truth about Andrew and Isabell's death! That's the least I can do!
-Shut up, you stupid girl! - yells snow.
-No, if you want me to shut up you have to kill me then! - answers then turns back to Auretta - Andrew never kissed me. I tricked him to help me and then kissed him when you can see it, I knew this is the only way I can rip you two apart. I knew if you hurt you will act horrible and you will show to Andrew how wicked you can be! I'm sorry! He did nothing wrong, and you two are made for each other! Sorry for trying to take him away from you.
Auretta on that moment felt so stupid to let this happen, Andrew warned her several times, she laughed at her and didn't pay attention, and when the problem is happened didn't believe him even after several warnings from everyone else then Andrew. She tries to pull herself together and get ready for the truth about her aunt.
-And Isabell? - she asks.
-Don't do this Morana! - warns her Snow - I was wrong! I'm sorry for that! We can be the family what you desire! Just don't tell them! I promise I will be a better mother!
-No! You manipulating me just like always!
-Morana please! - begs her Auretta - I need to know what happened with my aunt!
-It started when you and Andrew were on a picnic, remember? He made you your favorite, apple pie! From your mother's tree. I got this poison, from my mom! He used this to threaten several people to shut up, like the dwarfs! One day I stole it and kept it to use if I need it. I thought it causes stomach ace or something like this, I just wanted to ruin your date, I had no idea what can it cause! One single drop and you die the minute you swallow it! Thankfully Elizabeth and Isabell got me! They took the poison and put it to a research. The day when Isabell got attacked she got the results. I was the one who tried to hurt her, but not kill her! I just wanted the results got lost. That's when my mother got me and tricked me, manipulated to work with her. She was the one who didn't let me take away the results, she killed Isabell! She pushed her down for not choosing her. She choose you and your mother, she died for love. For that love what she felt for you. When I saw my mother kill i realized how evil she is! I tried to tell Andrew and Elizabeth but they didn't believe me! Of course I did some horrible things I can understand why they don't want to believe and work with me. I'm so sorry Auretta! I wish I could turn back the time and don't do any of it! Instead of just take your love and support! But I was jealous to you because you had more love even without a mother then I ever with a family.
-Morana! - Auretta is trying to stop the crying - what you did is horrible! But not as much as her acts! - she points at Snow - If one thing I know is that you just as lost as I was before Andrew and Elizabeth came here. You are a victim of your own mother's cruelty like me, if you really mean it, and you won't cause any harm ever again, I give you one more chance! But only for one reason! When I met you I finally felt I have a family! And I don't want to loose that feeling!
On that moment Morana smiles at her and runs to hug her.
-Just promise me you will be good!
-I promise! I really am!
-Enough! - yells Snow - she is your family? Are you lost your mind! Get away from her! - she pulls Morana away and finally stand face to face with Auretta. - You took my kingdom,my subjects and now my daughter! Now die! - she yells as she attack Auretta with her sword, but suddenly someone pulls her away. It's Morana! With one second of happenings she pulls her cousin away and stands before her. Snow didn't have the time to stop and she stabbed her own daughter. When she realizes she pulls out the sword from her and drops it while starts to step back.
-No! - Auretta screams and caches her as she falls. -No, no, no! Not you too! Please don't leave me!
-Auretta, listen to me! - she tries to speak with her, but she can't pull her attention from pain.
-Elizabeth! Do something, heal her!
-Right! I'm coming honey! Andrew pay attention to this snake. - she says as she squats down to them and prepares herself to heal. Everyone's attention in her hands and on Morana as she dying. Snow is in the corner, her hands on her head, trying to breath and realize what have she done.
-Why is this not working? - asks Auretta as she looks at Grimhilde.
-Because this is her faith, her happy ending.
-Death? - asks Auretta as she yells.
-No! She find her peace in you! She sacrificed herself for love! It's her time!
-No, please no! Don't go!
-That's alright! She's right! I'm finally arrived home, where love is! Thank you for being with me on my last moments! - she cries.
-No! Don't go! This can't be it! You deserve one chance!
-And I got it from you, sis!
-Please don't! You told me we can be a family!
-You're not alone!You have one! There is Andrew! You two have to be together! Do you understand me? Don't let my death rip you apart! And there is your mother!
-What? What are you talking about?
-She is alive! Find her, Auretta - she whispers - for the both of us! - the moment when she says those words out her last breath leaves her body, her head fells and she lives this world with grace and dignity.
Auretta starts to hug her and cry heavily, Snow still stands in the corner as she looks at her daughters lifeless body and finally she cracks. She starts to cry from the deepest part of her dark soul. She didn't cry since her mom's death but she finally let her feelings go, the only thing which stays from grief is anger.
-You! - she screams - You did this! - says it to Auretta. You killed her!
-No I did not! Please don't say that! - she bags her with a broken heart.
-You killed my daughter and you are going to pay for this! You little rat! - she says as she grabs the sword again and starts to run towards Auretta but Grimhilde stands up on that moment and kicks her out with her magic.
Just the three of them are there with their grief and sadness. Today a beautiful soul died for love. Her journey was graceful and respectful from the darkness to the light. One more tragedy is made by the real evil, Snow White.
