Barbie as Snow White

Chapter 2: Friend in the Forest

Hey guys! Here's the next chapter of this story! I have a better idea of what I want to name the prince! So stay tuned! He's coming! I promise!

Snow had been sprinting for a while. Eventually, she collapsed and ran out of breath. After regaining her composure, she looked around and given her surroundings, she was pretty confident that the immediate danger had passed and walked at a steady normal pace.

"What am I gonna do now?", she thought. It was true. She was now homeless without a single possession or any money to her name. Just the clothes on her back and that's it. It's definitely better than being dead, but it was still a problem that needed to be resolved. At least she had a few wild fruits in a basket that she picked should push come to shove. Snow continued to make her way forward when the forest became darker and darker and something dawned on her. She had no clue what she was doing, where to go or even where she was for that matter. She began to panic and quicken her pace as things went bump in the darkness. That quickening of pace became straight up running when she got the inkling that she was being followed.

"Who's there?" she cried out in fear. The footsteps responded by drawing nearer and nearer.

"Stay back!" she warned. "I'm well armed!" she added, taking out an apple peeler from her basket. Snow continued to draw back in her footsteps and noticed that she had quickly reached a dead end.

She fell to her knees. Never in a million years did she dream it would end this way. The poor girl was only barely 17. Just earlier today she was picking wild fruits for a pie she was going to bake. Now some beast was going to take her life. Finally, she stood to face her assailant and her fate with her peeler raised. If she was going down, it wouldn't be without a fight.

There are not enough words in the German language to describe how dumb Snow White felt when her maker turned out to be a harmless baby fawn.

"Well, then..." Snow said, her face pink of embarrassment. "This is certainly an awkward situation."

Snow took a few steps toward the fawn and it quickly backed up. That's when she realised she still had her peeler raised in a threatening manner. Once she caught her mistake, she quickly put it back in the basket.

"It's all right," she said. "I won't hurt you." Taking a few more cautious steps, she gently extended her hand, revealing a few berries.

The baby cautiously approached the hand and nibbled at the berries, lapping them up once she realised the were harmless.

"There. See?" Snow said, petting the baby. "You must have had quite an appetite."

The fawn bleated and licked her face.

"Do you have a name?" she asked.

The baby shook her head.

"Well..." Snow started, "How about Heidi?"

The baby nodded and bleated happily.

"Heidi, it is, then."

Heidi bleated happily and limped toward Snow White.

"What happened to your leg?" she asked. She took a look at her leg and noticed that it was wounded, possibly by another animal.

"I guess we're both having bad days," she said. "Come on. Let's go find you help."

Snow White trekked through the remainder of the forest with her companion and eventually it got lighter so they could see a clear path. It was no less of a journey, but at least now she had a companion to share it with.

So now Snow has a cute little animal companion! I promise you'll see plenty of her, too! I know this chapter was pretty short! Next ones will be longer! I promise! Next chapter we will see the prince! Stay tuned!
