Maria used the second alternative that her mother had informed if Red had declined her offer.
Once she got to her bedroom, she made an invisible stitch on her husband's favorite tunic.
She knew how much he loved wearing it and she knew that it would be important to her cause.
Her mother had given her a needle that was made of dark magic.
Maria had never for once used dark magic, but her mother had dabbled in it.
"Take this." Her mother said. "When the whore refuses to accept and leave the pack, you will use this needle to sew a strand of your husband's hair together with yours on his favorite clothe."
"What do you mean when? How sure are you that she would not take my first offer?" Maria asked
"Because I am a woman and I know what woman can do" Her mother said.
And sure enough Red had declined her offer.
"And what will it do?" Maria had asked.
