Blair had heard all of the rumors. She was determined to embezzle a Ruby that was said to hold the "Fountain of Youth" if one held it in their possession.

Currently, the Ruby was in the possession of an "older" woman by the name of Sadie Hilton. Ms. Hilton was said to be atleast 90 years old. However, she appeared much younger. To the naked eye, Ms. Hilton didn't look a day over 40 years old.

Blair was very superficial, and her appearance meant everything. So, Blair and her crew decided to take the Ruby for once and for all.

They had arrived and broke into Ms. Johnson's house when she was not there. Blair saw it, picked up the Ruby and began to instantly age. It was at that time that Ms. Hilton, unbeknownst to them had arrived and was watching from the doorway.

Blair spun around and faced a smiling Ms. Hilton.

"Darling, if the Ruby is not given to you by its rightful owner, you will age instead of getting younger, like I did." Ms. Hilton smirked.

Blair dropped the Ruby to the floor. She walked in a 25-year-old woman.

But she left 65 years old!
