Barbie as Snow White

Chapter 4: A Thing Called Tresspassing

Hey guys! I am so sorry this chapter took so long! I won't take up too much of your time because I know you've been waiting for this, so without any further ado, let's get right to it! Thankfully, this chapter gets into the meat of the story! Enjoy, read and review!

Snow and Heidi were awoken quite abruptly from their slumber. When she looked up, she rubbed the sleep from her eyes and saw seven very irritated little men. They were middle-aged at least, but they were no taller than a small child. "So they must be the ones who live here..." Snow thought. Seven little dwarves.

"Whaddya think you're doing here?" one of them asked angrily.

"Why... Didn't anyone ever tell you that it's rude to wake someone when they're sleeping?!" Snow chided in a cranky manner.

"You're gonna talk about rude? It's rude to trespass onto someone else's property, drag in wild animals and sleep under their blankets while using their fireplace!" The dwarf ranted.

"How dare you address Heidi in that manner?" Snow said, standing up.

"Heidi? You named the blasted thing?"

"Heidi is not a thing! She's a baby! And if you keep shouting, you'll wake her!"

"Good! Then that thing can find it's way back to the wild where wild animals belong!"

"Why are you so grouchy?"

"You trespassed onto our property! You want me to sing you a happy song?"

"Well, I'm sorry!" Snow yelled as her voice began to crack. "I didn't have too many options! I had to get away and Heidi was injured and she already figured out I was alive and sent someone after me!" Her words became less intelligible as tears began to fall from her eyes. "I had to take cover from—" The remainder of her sentence was cut off by her sobbing.

"Oh no! We're not buying that bilge!" The ornery dwarf said warningly.

"Now now, Rufus," a much more calm dwarf started. "Let's hear her story before we call her a liar."

"Klaus, it's pretty obvious that she—"

"Rufus," Klaus began sternly, effectively silencing him. "Now, young lady, tell me how you got here," he said, offering a handkerchief.

"I was in the garden picking fruits for a pie," Snow started, dabbing her face to dry the tears. "When the huntsman came in and told me that I was going for a walk with him. He seemed like he wasn't gonna take no for an answer. I didn't know what this was about, so I just went with him. Before we knew it, we were well on our way into the forest when he pulled a knife on me. He said my stepmother had sent him to do away with me. Then, I guess he didn't have the heart to do it, so he let me go. Then I found Heidi and before I knew it, I was here."

"Well," Klaus said, "It sounds like you've had quite the day today."

"I have," Snow said, handing back the handkerchief once her face was dry.

"Well, if you're going to stay here, we'd best get on a first name basis."

"Klaus, you aren't seriously going to—"

"What choice do we have, Rufus? There are people after her!" Rufus fell silent and Klaus continued. "Anyway, I'm Klaus. The ornery one is Rufus."
