_____Stalking prey was something Alexandra much rather would have chose to leave to her toys or kittens, sadly as she was still not able to keep the magic presences to make the annoying fur ball to obey her orders, and none of her toys yet able to mingle or keep a low profile she was left doing the entire task from start to finish. She had received orders to stop killing large groups of people at one time and warned if she kept doing such in her 'sloppy' method punishment would be issued. While the thought of such made the woman tremble with excitement she did not wish for any but her majesty to see such a side of her.

_____Thus leading the grim reaper of Nightmare to be where she was this fading day into night. Her frame trailing some ways behind another woman on the slightly busy streets of Magnolia. Someone wanted the girl dead, and the requirement was to look accidentally or as if she drew a very bad straw with lady luck. To be honest the primal mage did not know any more a worse fate then getting hunted by none other then her, but it seemed she had to use some other means. Leaving them in a Lion and zebra situation. She needed to wait until the woman broke away from the pack of witnesses.

_____The other idea she could just very well sneak up on the woman and whisper in her ear to stop breathing with her spell speak, or to run and impale herself on something sharp. As the ideas of all the ways she could kill the woman flooded her head from both her own plans and those of the voices she struggled to keep herself contained. her body trembling as she chewed her lower lip, oh the fun she could have, but she only got once chance with the woman and wanted it to be special, after-all you should for the most part only get to die once.~

_____When the woman broke into an alley, well Grim could not keep herself waiting much longer as she kicked up her pace to make sure she did not lose her plaything. Up until now Grim only saw the woman as a moving sack of flesh, but as she entered the alley and followed it around the bend she came face to face with her target who seemed aware she was coming as Grim looked at the broken glass bottle in the trembling hand with a un-amused smile. So many weapons, why did they always think glass was the best?

"Wh... why have you been following me all day... Are you one of that man's goons? I said I won't be given a silence price for what I saw..." - The voice was so easy to read as scard she could almost taste it in the air, rushing would go without issue no doubt but Alexandra simply started to show joy in her smile as her eyes glowed green. "Come now darling, that won't do you any good. Come here and let the Reaper toy with you'r life some before she sends you to meet her majesty.~"

_____Alexandra would move to sit down on one of the boxes in the alley as she watched withholding a taunting chuckle as the woman's body moved against her will. Alexandra could see the terror as the woman tossed her only weapon aside and started walking towards the spell speaker. "Please, sit down between my legs dear, I'd like to braid your hair while I explain how this is going to play out to you, the star of the show.~" The laugh breaking out slightly in a chuckle as the woman's eyes filled with terror and she sat with her back to Alexandra who casually started to comb the blond hair and check different braid styles to pick the perfect fit.

"I was sent here to kill you, that much is true so great job figuring that much out darling.~ However I was also requested to make it look accidental or like you ran into a string of bad luck... While I followed you I imagining... ALL.. the LOVELY plays you could preform for me to sate my thirst...~ - Settling on braiding the woman's hair in a loose style she would lean closely and begin to whisper her fate she would bring to life, the smile on her face going against the terror across the woman's as she nodded to her role and tears traced her eyes.

_____Today was the day, she had waited so long for the final act to come to a end of this lovely play she had weaved. The woman was destroyed to say the least of things. Each night Alexandra had ordered the woman to come see her at the cliff side, and each time the reaper would strip away part of the woman's hopes and dreams of the world and offer her a chance to take her own life or lose another part of herself the next night. Well Alexandra hoped it would be since the fun of her script was the end for the killer.

_____So far she had sealed away the woman's ability to see color, knowing she enjoyed to paint the vivid detail of the world around her. She sealed her ability to love, having found out she was a mother of two with a husband she held dear. The third day she took away the woman's taste so she could not enjoy the food her parents made. The fourth she stole her ability to tell the truth having started to grow displeased of her resilience. The fifth she took the woman's happiness and made her sour. Then on the sixth she took her ability to hear all but Grim's voice and the demands for her to die at the cliff. Today was the seventh as Grim rose from her spot at the willow tree to see the woman approach.

_____Some might wonder why she never spoke of what was happening, or tried to inform others she was but a actor in a twisted play? That was because the character of the play could not know the fate, Alexandra made sure the only time the woman would recall her role was in the presence of the reaper who waited at the cliff. Seeing the woman's eyes start to tear as the seal on her memory was raised Alexandra would approach offering a black cloth to use to clean herself up. Chuckling as the woman swatted it aside.

"Young lost lamb you are so stubborn to stay in this world that is expelling you. Sure you can lie to yourself and blame me, but I am part of this world am I not? Why would fate keep you trapped in this cycle so if it wanted you here? Fine then, I have finished this long running script. I could order you to jump at any time yet I wanted to toy with you. Starting when you awake next you will seek only to kill your children, your family, and all that you care for!" Her words followed with a single snap as the new rule was set.

_____At long last she saw the same terror in the woman's eyes as that night she was informed her time was limited. A grin crossing Alexandra's face as the woman rushed forward and tried to punch the woman before her only to stop short as Alexandra's magic caught her and made her kneel before the woman. "Stop this... Anything but my children... Take my voice... take my freedom... but not them from this world..." - "I have done no such thing, it will be you who takes them from this world if you do not jump from the cliff tonight and spare them.~" Alexandra would release her hold over the woman's body as she sat back down below the willow tree.

"If you step back one step, the magic will take hold and you will awake once more at home and acting out the script this world left you... or I give you the chance to escape..." A slow wave to the edge of the cliff was all Alexandra would do. Watching as the woman started to walk towards the cliff's ledge for the first time was enough to make her sit forward. Seven days she had watched the woman suffer and the suffering was at long last enough to drive her over the edge.

_____Human will so easy to break, watching as the woman leaned and Alexandra rose her hand to snap her fingers. The seals she had set on the woman breaking away, within seconds she could hear the screams for help, then silence. Stepping over to the ledge she would look down at the base of the cliff where the body laid, the side having claw marks and broken roots just as Alexandra had hoped. The woman was overlooking the city, before she fell to her death. It was the best accident Alexandra would allow as she turned and now needed to make up for lost time. One kill in the past seven days had surely upset her majesty.
