Snow White and the seven headed wolf (bl)

Chapter 1

- There's only a year left... I don't have much more to endure...- Snow White thought, flopping down on her bed.

It was the custom at the time to crown the monarch on his twentieth birthday, and he had just turned 19. She lived in the castle with her stepfather, Zack, who was only five years older than him, but he had moved in before his parents died, as an old friend of the King. The royal couple were attacked and killed by a bandit shortly afterwards.

Snow White was very distressed, and for seven days and seven nights he locked himself in his room, neither eating nor drinking, only crying. But the kingdom was left without a ruler, although Snow White, the king's son, was only a year and a half away from his coronation, so for this short period the late king's old friend, who was staying at the castle, was asked to take over. Although he had always spoken to Snow White with honeyed bliss, he had a hunch that he should keep his distance from Zack, who in turn, fed up with the prince's cold replies, had locked him in the castle. He was not allowed to meet anyone, not allowed to go anywhere, not even allowed to leave the left wing of the building, so he was not allowed to meet anyone else even in the castle except Zack. He brought him food and everything he needed.

It's been half a year of everything and Snow White has been locked up there ever since. He and Zack didn't talk much, answering his questions still respectfully, but distantly, coolly.

On his 19th birthday, however, he decided that he couldn't take it any longer, so he had to at least take a walk around the castle, to see if he could meet a servant and talk to someone other than his captor.

At eleven o'clock at night he crept out of his room and set off. As he passed the front door he saw the guards, so there was no chance of getting out into the courtyard, so he headed for the right wing of the castle.

- They had completely rearranged this wing. I wonder why they changed all the beautiful coloured silk curtains to these dark purple?

But he soon discovered why. This is where Zack lives. All his clothes were black and dark purple, even his eyes were that shade.

As he passed Zack's bedroom, he became aware of voices.

-...my dear mirror, tell me, is Snow White always the fairest in the land?

-Yes.

- He makes my job difficult, doesn't he? With his beautiful sky-blue eyes, his raven-black hair, his perfect features... I couldn't do it. I couldn't kill him. So I have no choice. If I want to be the king, I'll have to marry him. If we're married, I'll lock him up forever and have him all to myself. Then I can do whatever I want with him. And I'll just tell the people that he has a terrible disease and I have to run the country. - Snow White could hear the devilish smile on Zack's face in his voice.

But the door swung open unexpectedly, nearly knocking Snow White down as Zack burst through it. As soon as he saw the prince, he grabbed him by both wrists and held him over his head, pinning him to the wall.

- WHAT DID YOU HEAR? WHAT. DID. YOU. HEAR?

Snow White was frightened out of his wits. What will happen now? Was he really going to spend his life locked in a room with Zack doing anything to him? No, no, no. No way.

- Judging by your reaction, you've heard too much... - said Zack with a grin as he slowly began to fiddle with the neck of Snow White's shirt.

His intentions were evident in his smile and eyes, his gaze reflecting hunger.

A tear rolled down Snow White's cheek. He can't stay here. He must run away. If he stayed here another minute, who knows what Zack would do to him.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other was busy admiring his face and neck, he quickly kicked his nuts and started running. Through the seemingly endless corridors, down the stairs, out the door the guards were on shift so they didn't notice him until he was almost at the gate at the end of the garden. He climbed over the fence and ran on towards the woods.

He ran and ran, without stopping, until he was sure that no one would be able to find him.
