Snow White and Andrew the Huntsman (Story Retelling Fanfiction) [COMPLETE]

Chapter 11

When Snow White and Andrew returned to the kingdom, Harold, Greta, Iris, and Max were thrilled that she was alive again.

"It's a miracle." Greta said, hugging her. "But how is this possible?"

"Honestly... I don't know." Snow White said. She approached the villagers.

"I'm Princess Snow White!" she said. "Princess of this kingdom and your rightful ruler."

Hearing this, the crowd gasped in shock.

"The princess? She was alive?" one villager said.

"How?"

"The Queen said she was dead."

"Years ago, my stepmother told you that I died in the woods as a child, but the truth is she ordered a knight to kill me; however I was saved... by Prince Andrew."

She took Andrew's hand and smiled.

"He had brought me back to you all." she said. "But now I think it's time to bring the kingdom back to its' rightful ruler."

"How? The Queen is very powerful." a man asked.

"Yes, but even for that, she has a weakness. I've seen it. She must be defeated." Snow White said bravely. "She's not a Queen! I was. This is my kingdom and I will fight for it. Who's with me?"

The crowd of peasants cheered. They got their weapons and horses ready to storm the castle.

Meanwhile, the Queen, believing Snow White to be dead, stood in front of her magic mirror and asked,

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall,

Among the ladies in the land,

Who is the fairest of them all?"

The mirror honestly replied,

"You, my Queen, are certainly fair,

But the truth I must speak,

And so I do vow,

That the woman Snow White is more lovely than you."

Hearing those words, the Queen stomped foot on the floor in rage.

"What! No! She's dead! How could she be alive again?"

"Andrew's love brought her back with a kiss." the mirror said. "Snow White is very much alive and she was on her way to take back the kingdom."

"I'd like to see her try!"

With the flick of her hand, an army of knights rode. She unleashed them into the land to fight the peasants. But to her surprise, they were actually stronger than she thought. Metal clang and swords crossed. The two armies fought for hours each of them taking hard blows. Snow White slipped into the castle and rushed upstairs to the Evil Queen's room. When she reached the door, Snow White stopped.

Snow White went down the hall to her stepmother's room. It looked like no one was there except for a tall one. She approached the mirror and looked at it. Then she felt a hand grab her throat causing her to drop her sword.

"You!" the Queen screamed. She turned Snow White around to face. "Look what you did to me?"

Snow White noticed that the Evil Queen looked older, not as old as she looked in her disguise but she had wrinkles.

"I look like this because of you!"

"You look like this because your heart is cruel, wicked and ugly." Snow White said. "What I don't understand is why? Why are you like this? Why did you turn my father to stone? Why do you want people to suffer? Why do you want to kill me?"

The Queen pinned her to the wall.

"Because..." she screamed. "Because I'm not as powerful or beautiful as everyone else is."

She dug her nail into Snow White's neck.

"I was just some common serving woman always taking insults and beatings from other people. Then I found Felix and he offered me a way to change myself."

She squeezed her neck tighter and tighter.

"He gave me powers but I can only have it if there is no one fairer than me!"

Unknownst to the Queen, Snow White desperately reached for something in her dress.

"Your beauty surpassed mine! So you must die!"

Snow White pulled a pin from her dress and scratched the Queen's arm with it causing her to drop her.

"Not today."

Snow White picked up her sword and swung at her. She missed.

"Alright, you wanna sword fight?"

She made a sword appear in her hand.

"Let's sword-fight."

The Queen was shocked by how good Snow White was with a sword, and with one swipe she was able to scrape half her other arm but the Queen used her magic to lift Snow White up and throw her to the ground. She held her sword to Snow White's chest. She gave her one last wicked grin before raising her sword up to strike when a battleax knocked it away.

"Miss me?" Andrew asked.

"Ugh! I've had just about enough of you!" the Queen screamed.

Snow White kicked her off and got to her feet. Andrew threw his ax at the Evil Queen but he missed and it was headed for the mirror. The Queen gasped but sighed with relief when the ax just hit the wall. Seeing this, Snow White now understood how her stepmother could be defeated.

"Andrew! Give me your dagger! Can you distract my stepmother?"

"Sure, I can." he said, as he handed her the dagger and pulled the ax out of the wall. Using her magic, the Queen levitated weapons and sent them after him.

Snow White headed for the mirror but was stopped by the Queen. She clutched Snow White's throat as tight as she could and raised her sword again. Snow White called upon all the strength in her body, begging for it to help her. In one swift move, she broke free and smashed the mirror with the dagger. The mirror cracked and started to shatter. The Queen screamed in a voice that didn't sound human.

"NOOO!" she screamed. The mirror shattered to pieces as the Queen's body started to turn into dust. The flying weapons dropped to the floor, the Queen's army faded, and all damage was undone.
