Once Upon A Time, there was a girl named Snow White. Wait let me start over that's a bad start. This isn't about Snow White well I mean it is, but it's mostly about me. My side of the story of course. On how the innocent little Snow White might not be as innocent as she seems. I'm going to tell you the actually true story of Snow White. Are you ready? Well just make sure you don't eat any of the apples
I was a servant for the royal family when Snow was first born. I was the Queens handmaid. There was always something...different about Snow. I don't know what is was, maybe her mother's unnamed death or Snows perfect appearance, something was just...weird. Nobody is THAT perfect, I don't know what caused her to have such beauty but whatever it was, it wasn't human. When her mother died from some unknown death, that's when my curiosity hit me. She was perfectly fine one day, playing with the princess Snow and the next She drops dead! I hardly think that's just 'god's work' as the doctors call it. Well anyways after the queen died, everyone was struck with a Great Depression. The king barely ever left his room and he never ate everyone was very worried. He would only allow his daughter to visit him in the room. Everyone else was forbidden. Thankfully a miracle happened and he showed his face for once. A couple weeks later, he asked for my hand in marriage. It took everyone by surprise, a king has never asked a low maid like to for there hand marriage from a Duke, much less a queen! Snow lets just say, wasn't very happy about the whole thing but then again who would be? After your mother just dying and your father causing a depression. I don't think I would be able to handle it well either but there wasn't something in her eyes. Like hatred. A burning passion of hatred for me. My wedding night was when I really found out who Snow really was.
I walked into the room to see the the king with a knife in his hand, being his new wife I was concerned and asked him what was wrong. He didn't say anything he just look to the other side of the room. I followed his gaze to see Snow standing there, but it wasn't Snow, she was no longer human. Her charcoal eyes had been replaced with milky white and her lips as red as blood. She moved her lips and I heard a grunt as I looked over to see the King with a knife in his chest. The knife he was holding. I heard a loud scream as I looked over at Snow to see her back to normal. The guards appeared to see the king with a knife in his chest, a screaming Snow and a crying queen. That's when I knew, Snow much be stopped.
So I locked Snow away well I didn't lock her away, I just kept her from leaving the castle that's all. I didn't lock her in some far away tower, forcing her to eat only stale bread and murky water. She may have killed her father but I was still her step-mother, and I am not an evil queen. Snow was welcomed to feasts and the explore the palace grounds as much as she liked. She could talk to almost whoever she wanted, as long as there was a guard watching her. She seemed to show improvement and her heated gaze towards me no longer existed, I thought that maybe I had changed her and shown her the wrong from right, or so it seemed at least. Eventually I invited Snow to go on a carriage ride with me to go threw the cities and greet the people. I thought it would be good to let her have a little freedom. It was a wonderful at the time, I had in a matter of fact forgotten about her unnatural powers and only saw the beauty in Snow. We arrived at the last town of our visit and I offered for Snow to go look around and the market and I would buy her anything she wanted me too. As she ran off to the markets I walked around and greeted people, talked to them accepted their gifts. I was about to go back to the carriage after what seems like hours had passed and I started to look for Snow. As I turned the corner I saw a crowd and I decided to see what it was about. As I walked closer I recognized Snow standing in the middle of the crowed circle I stepped to the front and as I saw her with hatred burning in her eyes and A smile that made my skin crawl.
"The Queen that you people so much adore is evil, she poisoned my mother and seduced my father and killed him too all so she could become Queen. She had locked me in a tower with barely anything to eat but stale moldy bread and murky milk, making me sow my own clothes with nothing but scraps of cloth. She got me dressed up here today for me to speak to you guys and make you all fall in love with her even more." She found my gaze and her smile grew wide as she pointed at me "There she is right there, the Evil Queen."
Everyone gasped and moved away from me, glaring at me with the same hatred looks as Snow. I straightened my back and held up my head as I cleared my throat. "What are these lies you are telling them child?" I asked
Snow bit back, practically growling at me "These are not lies that I tell, Step-Mother but the truth. It is you that has been lying to these people not me."
I looked around to see conflicted faces, most were glaring at me. "Nonsense, I never locked you in a tower, I forced you to stay on the palace grounds for your own safety after the king died incase something was out to harm you, I couldn't have imagined losing you as well as your father."
I looked back at Snow just in time to see the monster again, Snow with the milky white eyes and the blood red lips was back as she talked "Do not listen to her lies for that is all she does, how else do you think she would've gotten my father to marry a servant. She is nothing but an Evil Queen, now lets pick up our weapons and give back our kingdom to the rightful heir...Me!"
The people started cheering as Snow went back to normal, her evil smile still there. I backed away from the crowd and ran to the carriage as the people ran after me. I closed the doors and order the soldiers to hurry and leave as the people banged on the door. Tears blurred my eyes as I thought to myself. Stupid, Stupid... I rode back to the carriage in silence, fury building in my gut. I knew what I would have to do. That was the moment that I knew Snow would have to go.
I would tell you the rest but I'm sure you know how it ends, Snow of course wins and I'm stuck in a basement of a dungeon eating moldy bread and murky water, never to see daylight again. Sometimes I wonder what's going on in the city but I would never know the answer. With a stomach without food and a harsh winter without any warmth I went to lay down one last time, dreaming of what could've happened if I had left the castle and became a servant elsewhere instead of marry the King. A simple life I would assume it to be, maybe next time though. Maybe next time...
