A Poison Apple for Olivia (version 2)

Back in the deepest dungeon at the castle, Narissa was making the sleeping death potion in the cauldron as she stirred it up. After she finished stirring it, she dipped the apple into the sleeping death potion as she said, "Dip the apple in the brew. Let the sleeping death seep through."

She pulled the dipped apple out of the cauldron, and some teal goo started falling off to reveal a skull-like face and black skin, and she said, "Look! On the skin! The symbol of what lies within."

As the black apple turned red, and the goo vanished into thin air, she said, "Now, turn red to tempt Olivia to make her hunger for bite." She looked at Meowth and showed him the poisoned apple as she said, "Have a bite?"

"Ah, get that thing away from me!" Meowth shouted. He began to panic as Narissa laughed and told him, "It's not for you! It's for Olivia Flaversham."

Meowth sighed and said, "Oh, thank goodness!"

"When she breaks the tender peel to taste the apple in my hand, her breath will still, her blood congeal," said Narissa. "Then I'll be the fairest in the land!"

She cackled sinisterly, but then gasped as she said, "But, wait! There may be an antidote. Nothing must be overlooked." She looked through her book and found the page she was looking for as she said, "Ah! Here it is!"

She read the page as she said, "The victim of sleeping death can be revived only by love's first kiss."

She scoffed as she said, "Love's first kiss! Bah! No fear of that! The thugs will think she's dead. She'll be buried alive!" She cackled sinisterly as she placed the poisoned apple into a basket full of apples.

Meowth just stared in shock and dismay as Narissa opened the door to a secret passage way and said, "Buried alive!" She cackled sinisterly as she went in the secret passage way and closed the door.

"What?" asked a confused Meowth.

Narissa then walked down the steps. As she reached the bottom, she looked at a skeleton that was trying to get a pitcher of water, but died of thirst on the spot.

Narissa asked the skeleton, "Thirsty? Have a drink!" And she kicked the empty pitcher to the skeleton, breaking it in the process, and laughed sinisterly.

She went down to the dock on the river and got into a small boat. She then rowed down the river to the woods.
