Before she was asked to do the next job, Bianca had already heard about a new rising star in Marigold Town who was working at the theater now. She was being talked about my basically everyone, even the innkeeper at the inn Bianca stayed at. She did not directly talk about it to Bianca, but when Bianca came back after dinner in the town center, she heard about that girl called Georgia or something. She did not correctly hear the name, but it was close to what her real name which was Georgina. Bianca remembered the name since she had a good memory, but did not really think much about it. Only when she visited the theater the next day, she found out that her name was Georgina, Georgina Dawnson to be precise, and that she was not going to be alive for long. Bianca went to the theater that morning without receiving a letter because she felt like paying Alice a visit. It had been about four days she had not received from either Alice or Rebecca, which meant that she had not made money in the said time. However, when she reached the theater and entered Alice’s dressing room, it seemed Alice had a favor to ask of her. Bianca was very ready to help her with whatever she needed help with, but when she said that she wanted to kill Georgina with a potion she bought from some shady potions dealer in town, Bianca blinked in disbelief. It was Rebecca who asked her to do something like that last time. It seemed Alice and Rebecca were not much different, after all they were working together in this theater that seemed to be pretty shady in the first place. Alice vented a bit to Bianca, ranting about how Georgia who she thought was a ‘bitch’ was stealing her spotlight and all the hearts in Marigold, well the hearts of those who came to watch the plays in this theater anyway. Bianca nodded and listened attentively so that she did not miss any details although Alice was mostly just talking about how much she hated her and wanted her dead. Bianca silently prayed that there was no one outside while Alice was doing so or the both of them would be busted and who knows what would happen. The rant came to an end soon enough and Alice gave Bianca a vial that contained a dark liquid which was completely opaque. Bianca shook it slightly, and then put it into her bra where it would be safe. Alice gave her a smirk and kept her there for a while for a conversation and how she wanted Bianca to go about this. The first thing she needed to do was dress up like Georgina’s protege who apparently had white hair so Bianca was perfect for the job. She removed the flower over her eye and placed it on Alice’s dresser, telling her that she would come back for it after the job was done. “What’s so important about it anyways?” asked Alice. She seemed to have been curious about this the whole time and just found the opportunity to ask.

“It’s a secret,” Bianca told her and that made Alice stop asking about it. Instead, she continued to tell her about the plan. Georgina’s normal protege’s clothes were with Alice which she had actually stolen. Bianca actually laughed at Alice. By now they were like friends, they basically saw each other daily before this and they were the same in nature. Since Alice requested for things to be done that were considered illegal, this determined her alignment, and since Bianca was obviously a dark wizard - she was from Phantom Lord and all that - they were similar in nature. Although Bianca was pretty sure it was safe to tell her about her guild, but she decided to do that maybe after this job was done. She was going to leave the town soon anyway, so even if Alice turned against her she would probably be gone by then, though that was highly unlikely given how Alice had done some pretty bad things that Bianca could talk about in case that ever happened. She was thinking too much about it, so she stopped thinking too much and focused on the job at hand. Alice then brought out the clothes of the protege she had stolen and gave them to Bianca. The vampyre was rarely shy and so she simply took off her clothes right there and put on the protege’s clothes. Alice flushed a bit and asked why she did that. Bianca was confused by what she said and then after realising she was talking about taking off her clothes like that in front of Alice she simply said, “Oh, you can say I barely have any shame,” with a laugh and then realised how awkward it must have been for Alice. She remembered that she used to be plenty shy as well when she was a human. She wondered if that came with being a vampire, or being a monster in general. Whatever the case it was a good thing because now she did not blush every time she talked to strangers. She used to do that a lot that was pretty annoying and did not really get her friends because it would make the situation extremely awkward and the stranger would just remain a stranger. Now that she did not get all shy anymore, at least she no longer had awkward situations with strangers. Bianca put on the clothes she was given and fixed her hair the way Alice told her to so that she looked like the protege. Alice was great at makeup too so she applied some makeup on Bianca’s face and contoured it so that she looked more like the protege. Thankfully the clothes that belonged to the protege fitted Bianca and now she was ready to begin the crucial part of what was a murder job.

“You’re all set,” said Alice with a satisfied grin after making sure that Bianca looked almost identical to protege. The power of makeup. Bianca stared at herself the mirror with a look of surprise. She did not even look like herself. She would probably have to wash the makeup off after she was done because seeing that made her feel really disturbed. Normally she did not wear much makeup so it was already weird. It felt like she was wearing a three inch thick layer of plaster over her face, but she would endure it for the sake of Alice’s request. With a nod to confirm that she was ready, Bianca straightened the shirt she was wearing. She would have to act all polite and stuff since she was acting as a protege. Alice’s plan was to distract Georgina, taking her out of her dressing room to discuss about the play that they were going to perform together in next, and take a while with it so that Bianca can put the potion into her tea. Apparently Georgina liked to drink tea a lot so that meant that she would have a cup of tea in her dressing room. If she did not, Alice instructed Bianca to make a cup of tea because it was her protege’s job to make tea for her. After they made sure everything was ready, Alice running over the details once again so that things did not go wrong and Bianca almost repeating after like a child trying to learn something by heart. The both of them laughed after Bianca pointed that out. Once that was done, Alice left the room first, making sure that no one was in the hall, and when she saw that the hallway was empty, she knocked on the door of the dressing room once to tell Bianca that was safe. The vampyress tucked the vial carefully into her bra so that it did not fall out or something. She also did not want the contents to spill onto her. Who knows what it could do when touched if it could kill by being drunk? Bianca did not want to know, so she simply tucked it carefully and tried to touch it from over her shirts. She could barely feel it. Feeling ready, Bianca stepped outside. Alice had told her where Georgina’s dressing room was, which was the room after Rebecca’s which used to be a room where they stored things, but probably cleared stuff out for Georgina to use as her dressing room. Bianca hung around in the corner of the hall where she could see that room. She waited until Alice went inside and came out after a while with a brunette girl who looked younger than Alice who must be Georgina. The girl was pretty, not going to lie. Alice took her away in the other direction, leaving Bianca to complete the rest of their plan. The vampyress made sure that even the two brunettes’ shadows were out of sight before slipping into Georgina’s dressing room.

It was so girly Bianca could tell Georgina had it all decorated and fixed to meet her tastes. Even the furniture was a light pink. She saw that her chair looked even fancier than Rebecca’s. The director probably did all of this for her to stick around and not leave the theater because of how much fame she was getting for it. The dresser was full of makeup supplies it was basically overflowing. She had never seen so many makeup supplies on a dresser. Rebecca and Alice had so much less compared to Georgina. Well, good looks were a part of her fame it seemed so she needed to maintain the beauty using any means. Bianca wondered how anyone could stay with makeup on their face for more than two hours. She already felt like it was itching like fuck. If it was not for Alice’s request, she would have scratched her face off. Georgina already had a cup of tea prepared for herself, and it was still full. She wondered if the potion would make the tea black. If it did then Georgina would definitely see and not drink it. But she knew Alice was not stupid enough to realise this. Bianca took out the vial from her bra and shook it a bit. Alice would probably buy a lot of time for her, so she had some time to test it. She broke off the cap of the vial and put it in her pocket, holding the vial carefully over the teacup and tipping it slightly so that only a drop of it fell into the tea. Bianca immediately held the vial up and watched the tea. As the black drop of poison fell into the amber tea, it slowly disappeared, leaving Bianca completely awestruck. This was perfect. She dropped another time to make sure and the same thing happened. With a satisfied smile, she tipped the rest of the potion into the cup and watched the black liquid turn amber like the tea in amusement. This was pretty cool to watch. Once that was done with, she got a tissue from a tissue box lying around in the dressing room and wrapped it around the vial and threw it into the trash bin next to the dresser. All she had to do was make sure she could leave without getting noticed. But she still had to watch Georgina drink the tea first before leaving to make sure that she had done the job completely. Alice had told her that Georgina’s protege usually had a squeaky voice, so Bianca cleared her throat and tested her voice saying some things to make it sound squeaky. “Hello Georgia,” she said. “Oh wait that’s Georgina,” she corrected herself and then cleared her throat again. After testing with a few other dialogues, she cleared her throat one last time as she heard footsteps outside the door. She walked over to the wardrobe next to the dresser and pretended to be sorting out Georgina’s costumes.

She could hear the footsteps approaching Georgina’s dressing room in which she was currently pretending to be sorting out the actress’s outfits. Alice’s laughter rang through the hall outside, and after saying their goodbyes, Georgina entered the dressing room, shutting the door softly behind her. She did not seem to notice Bianca at first, because she simply walked up to her dresser and sat down, letting out a sigh. Bianca wondered if she was that unnoticeable. She felt like a lamp at the moment, or something in the room that did not get much attention. More like no attention at all. Immediately when she noticed Bianca, Georgina jumped up and almost fell on her bottom. “Sorry to scare you, Georgina,” said Bianca in the fake squeaky voice that she had practised. Georgina regained her composure, trying to breathe properly again. She must have been pretty shocked, although she looked as fake as one could get. Since Bianca had given her back to the dresser, she could not see what was going on, other than some things falling off of the dresser probably including her makeup things. She turned instantly and moved over towards the dresser, bending down to pick up the things that had fallen to the floor. Thankfully nothing had broken, and the mug of tea was not included in the things that fell, so the thought that she had jeopardized the whole job flew out of her brain and instead was replaced with the worry that Georgina would notice that she did not look exactly like her protege. Bianca kept her head lowered and put the things back in place. She pretended to be apologetic for scaring Georgina when in reality she was just trying to not get noticed. Bianca cleared her throat slightly.

“What’s wrong with you today?” asked Georgina, picking up the mug that held her death juice. Bianca stared at it hopefully, wondering if she was going to drink it right away. If that was the case, then she could simply get out of her room as if she needed to go to the bathrooms and return to Alice. But unfortunately, Georgina held it in her hands and blew at it, to cool it.

“Ahh, nothing really. I’m just um...a bit sick,” she said, clearing her throat once again. It was damn hard to get her voice squeaky because of how her voice was normally low pitch. Georgina put the mug down and got up from her chair, coming towards Bianca which made her automatically go, “Oh, no no, I’m okay, I’ll take some medicine afterwards,” thinking that Georgina was here to feel her forehead or something like a nice person, not that she expected her to be nice or anything. She mostly just did not want her to get close to her otherwise she would notice that she was not her usual protege girl. But the bitch asked her in disbelief, why she thought that Georgina would care about her in the first place and pushed her aside to get something behind Bianca. That was the moment Bianca would have fucked up the entire mission if she did not have self control over herself. What Georgina said was enough to make her want to strangle her to death, but with the knowledge that the potion would do the job pretty soon, Bianca stayed put, nodding and mumbling, “Right.” Georgina was actually reaching for a hanger, which Bianca wondered why she did not just ask her to get it for her. Maybe because she said she was sick and did not want her sickness to get to her. Sure enough, she then said something that just put her anger on a whole another level.

“Don’t worry I can do things on my own today. I don’t want to get sick before my next play.”

Kind, my ass, Bianca thought. Why did people think she was kind? Maybe it was part of her big act. The way she was treating Bianca who was supposed to be her protege, was nothing close to kind. In fact, almost everything that she was saying to her made her want to kill her. Up until now, this was the time she had been the most patient. The vampyress exhaled unnoticeably. She had a feeling that if Georgina caught her exhaling or something she would be like ‘what the hell are you sighing for?’ She had already tried so hard to keep her anger under control, she could not mess it up now. That was the thought that kept her from blowing up. Georgina took off her coat and put it on the hanger, then put it among her other tops in the clothing rack behind Bianca. She then sighed, throwing her head back as if she was extremely tired from something, and then brought her gaze back to Bianca who had no idea how to act or what to do. Georgina did not seem to want to bother asking her what was wrong anymore. The actress finally picked up her mug again. Bianca stayed still, not even lifting her head to check if Georgina drank the tea because she did not want to give her fake identity away. She took a gulp of it, Bianca heard, and then let out a satisfied sigh, continuing to drink more. Once Bianca felt like it was enough to kill her, she got up and said, “I need to use the bathroom. I’ll be back in a while.” Georgina gave her a confused look but waved a hand at her dismissively. Bianca left the dressing room and walked over to Alice’s, quickly opening the door and entering, closing the door behind her. It was not hard to  go unnoticed. Alice helped take off the makeup and Bianca put on her usual clothes. “It’s been done,” said the vampyress with a sly smirk while Alice smiled maliciously back at her and brought out her reward. Bianca would then leave to return to her inn.
