Once Upon An Apple (Snow White Retelling)

How It All Began

Narrator's POV

Every good fairytale has a beggining, doesn't it?  Well, so does this one. Before we get started, let me remind you that it's not about the happy ending but the story. Let's start, shall we?

Once upon a time lived a king and queen in a beautiful kingdom, full of flowers and joy. The Queen had always wanted a daughter. She loved the Snow and spent her Winter Days out in the royal gardens, walking through the roses and bushes. Until, one day, she pricked her finger on a spike and one drop of blood fell on the cold snow. A raven flew by in the sky, spreading it's beautiful black wings.

Loving those beautiful colors, mixed together, she wished for a daughter with skin as white as snow , lips as red as blood and hair as black as a raven's feathers. Her wish came true a few years later, when she gave birth to a young girl that she named Snow White for it was snowing the day she was born.

On Snow White's 3rd birthday, the Queen died causing gried throughout the kingdom. The King now ruled on his own, helping his daughter grow by him. His daughter grew, beautiful as ever with a beautiful heart. She helped everybody heal and never let anyone down, she was perfect in every way. But nothing can truly be perfect forever.

It was a sad day when a beautiful women came into the kingdom. She was said to be a healer, with powers. She was so beautiful with her eyes emerald green and red hair that the King welcomed her in the Kingdom to heal the sickness.

A few months later, he fell in love with her and remarried. Snow could feel something strange about this healer, but didn't say much until she noticed people died after suppositively getting healed by her. That wedding night was a sad one for the healer offered the King and apple, a symbol from where she was born symbolizing union. An apple, a simple apple. After one bite, the king dropped dead.

It was a very sad day for Snow and the Kingdom for as the Queen took over, she ended up having a heart as dark as night. Everything faded away, all hope, all joy as she took all the money from the villagers and nearly killed them all with her dark army.

Snow was locked in the highest tower of the kingdom, never cared for. The Queen had a mirror, an enchanted mirror who could tell her who was the fairest of them all, who was, of course, always her.

Snow grew up to be even more beautiful everyday, knowing that one day, she'd have to get out there and save her father's honour and kingdom before the Queen took everything. Yet, she didn't expect to see that day come so early, on her eighteenth birthday...

I'm getting ahead of myself, this is the beggining, not the story. So, this is how it all began. The beggining of a fight. The beggining of a revenge. The beggining of Snow White's real story.

So, this is my first fairtytale retelling ever. I'm just such a big fan of them I couldn't help myself! So, this is a bit of the background and even though it's very similar to the real tale, they're will be some twists as you can see in the summary. So, to support this, vote and comment!
