Later that evening, Alexandria returned to her apartment. She changed into her nightgown and grabbed a few special ingredients out of her pantry. After that, she took the herbs and the bloody dish rag from before, and went to her closet. She pushed her way through her racks of clothes and then pulled out her cauldron. She dropped the first ingredient, a cat's eyeball, into the cauldron. Then she added the second ingredient, a thorn from a purple rose, into the mix. Last, but not least, came the final ingredient to add to the cauldron: Alexandria's finger nail. Soon, water appeared in the cauldron and it began to boil madly.
"You have it, sister." said Alexandria, dropping the dish rag into the cauldron. "The blood of the princess."
Out of nowhere, appeared the reflection of Narissa, Alexandria's half-sister, who was thought to be dead by many. All Narissa could do was stare at the dish rag and then look at her younger sister, obviously appalled by her actions.
"What...is...this?" asked Narissa.
"It's the blood of Giselle, sister." said Alexandria, her voice incredibly meek.
Narissa let out a frustrated sigh. "You don't quite grasp what I meant by blood, do you? I meant for you to KILL HER!"
"I can't do that,Narissa. She has a family, a beautiful family. Two little girls, and the most wonderful husband named Robert. You should see him, sister, he is so handsome an-"
"I don't care for personal details, you miserable little brat!" shouted Narissa.
Suddenly, flames shot out of the cauldron and frightened Alexandria so much; that she fell backwards. After a while, the flames simmered down and Narissa let out another sigh. Alexandria stood to her feet and leaned over the cauldron again.
"Why did you have to inherit our father's idiocy?" muttered Narissa.
"Give me another chance, Narissa, please!" pleaded Alexandria.
"You know what, I'm feeling very generous. You have seven days to kill Giselle, fail and I'll come there myself and make sure you don't ever leave Andalasia again." said Narissa.
Narissa's reflection vanished. Alexandria left the closet and began to pace all over her apartment. She had to think of a way to kill Giselle without being suspected of any suspicious behavior. She knew the only way to do this, was to get Robert out of the way. Of course, Alexandria had no intention of killing Robert, as she was extremely smitten with him. Alexandria was standing in front of her mirror; when it suddenly came to her. A way to kill Giselle and keep Robert to herself.
