All the stories don't always have a happy ending.

OS 1 Part 2 : Find her happy ending.

Pairing : Snow White/Lilith (Evil Queen)

Spoil : Poison/Charm

During her sleep that should have been eternal, Snow White felt absolutely nothing, she was just sleeping in a profound sleep. If someone asked her just after her awakening what you could live or feel when you are under a sleeping curse, she may have answer that there was nothing.

The first time she woke up, Snow was extremely surprised to come back to life, but not relieved; she wanted to die but clearly the queen's spell was not enough powerful for that. It was really easy to accept the love of the prince and the princess tried to persuade herself that over time she could have affection for him, even love him, but it was a complete failure and she found herself again asleep, a second time...

Her second awakening was totally different, because this time, when the queen kissed her in order to wake up her, she felt something when she woke up, that is to say a very powerful wave of magic (True Love's magic, but didn't know it, not yet). She breathed again, just as if she never seemed to be dead, her eyes closed and then opened and she realized that the spell had been broken again. Except that this time it couldn't be by accident, it must have been make voluntary; Snow stood up straight and had the surprise to hear a voice she thought she would never have the chance to hear again:

"I am sorry."

Snow White's filled with happiness when she realized that it was her step-mother (former, as her father was dead, a thing she still didn't know) and she had the impression to explode with joy by understanding that she woke up her. So... she doesn't hate me? Snow White turned over her and her heart beat faster; her step-mother was so beautiful ! The princess, surprisingly wasn't annoyed with her for what she did to her, but she also loved her even more than before.

"I thought you hated me, she finally said as Lilith stayed silent. But I... I just wanted you to love me." And you do ? Was the though she didn't dare to formulate at a high voice. Lilith addressed her a shy smile and Snow White couldn't keep herself kissing her a second time. And, as they were ready to leave, the princess finally asked her how she woke up her (not by removing a piece of an apple from her throat, not this time); the answer appeared to her as an evidence, and they both smiled...

Their return was good, even though their passage to the house of the queen's great-grand-mother was a little... stormy: indeed, the young princess couldn't help but shivering with disgust by seeing the bones of the children spread on the ground (Lilith herself was a little rattled by this.) But the young woman had been strangely... comprehensible and acceded to the request of the queen to bring the old woman with them (at least they would stop her killing children.)

"Tell me ? Asked Snow. Do you feed yourself also with normal food, instead of the children ? The old woman giggled.

- I like her Lilith, I see you did a good choice. And just some weeks ago you still wanted to see her dead, with her heart in you hands. Wasn't I right to advise you this spell ?

- Yes, grandma, the young woman agreed, with a false sight.

- Well princess, I do some times feed myself with non-human food, if you want to know it. Even if

young children's flesh is much more tasty.

- I have no doubt about it; but if you accept to follow us you will have to stop doing it.

- Right, it will change my habits, but after all it will allow me to have time with you, Lilith."

To return in their realm was something simple, as they were hidden by Lilith' and the other witch's magic (for the first time Snow White's eyes had admiration for her as she saw her magic being used for another thing than evil. Lilith felt a great heat in her heart.) They didn't announce the princess' return, this one wanted to see her friends, the dwarves and give them their pony, but also tell them she was safe. And she insisted on the fact that Lilith had to come with her; she didn't agree first, arguing that the dwarves knew she was responsible of what happened to their princess and that they wouldn't forgive her for this.

"Yes, but you saved me from the prince, and from the Sleeping Curse, and I forgave you, and I love you. And you're my happy ending, so I'm sure that they will accept you."

The queen's heart was now filled with happiness, and even if she didn't really believe in it; she embraced her, then kissed her, and they both went to the dwarves' home. The reunion had been marvellous, the dwarves as Snow were really happy to see each other again; the queen not seen by them, had a tenderized smile by seeing them reunited again. Grumpy saw her first, no far from them and encircled by the sun light; all the dwarves finally also saw her, and, as just one man, placed themselves just above Snow White to protect her. Protection doubly useless, because the queen had no intention to hurt someone, but also because if she wanted it, the dwarves wouldn't have resist during a long time. She approached them.

She was the Evil Queen; what the dwarves thought of her had no importance, but they were important for her princess, so even though she wasn't accepted by them, she just wanted them to know that they were wrong about her. Snow shook her head, smiling, and said:

- My friends, you don't have to be afraid, you can trust her. They all turned in her direction, with opened eyes. I assure you, she doesn't want to hurt me, she is not the Evil Queen anymore.

- Snow, Dreamy said, she put a spell on you ? And where is the prince ? Did she kill him ?

As she remembered this dark period of her life, the princess had a dark look.

- No Dreamy, in fact, it's even the contrary, she saved me from him."

And, facing the dwarves that all had a surprised look on their faces, Snow told them all the story; as she did, their faces became pale as they realized that they barely send their princess to death.

"But it changes nothing, said Grumpy. She did want to kill you, he said by looking at the queen with an angry look, but she stayed imperturbable.

- Maybe, but trust me, she regrets what she did, you can be sure of that.

- So... Dreamy demanded, we were wrong ? It was the prince the villain of the story ?

- In a way, yes, the queen declared (and they all started) but don't worry, he should not be a problem for us now and stay in his kingdom."

By looking at her, Dreamy, who was the more attentive of them understood that something really changed in her; all her sadness and her hatred seemed to have disappeared, and she looked more... calm. I hope we can trust her. But they also trusted in the prince and they were so wrong; but this time, their princess explained to them, that she would not be so far and they could come to the castle. The queen accepted when the others looked at her. And, unconsciously, the dwarves hoped that things could change, in good, this time. They all understood at seeing the look of the princess on the queen that it really was her happy ending, and they were all happy that she finally found it. But what about the queen ?

And, it is with a light heart but a rest of suspicious that they looked their loved princess leave in direction to the castle, hoping that they would see her again.

To be continued ?
