Drabble 9 : Just five minutes.

Centred on Snow White during her stay at the dwarves' home. Mention of depression and suicidal thoughts.

Pairing : Snow White/Lilith (Evil Queen)

Spoil : Poison

If you forgot just for a time the attempts of murder that her step-mother tried to do on her, Snow White should admit that she was happy to live at the dwarves' home. They were her best friends; they had received her and she loved them a lot (and they did the same to her). Except for the castle, the princess knew no other place where she could have a better live; yes, she was really happy to be in this place.

But all the friendship that the dwarves could have for her weren't enough to make her happy, but that was a thing the dwarves couldn't understand. Oh, they knew that she wasn't really happy, not completely, but after all, they told to themselves, how could she be happy their little princess, far from her home and from her father, purchased by the hatred of her step-mother ? They couldn't have been so deeply wrong...

She missed her father, yes, but it was not the worst of it; indeed, for her the worst was about her step-mother. She wanted to see her dead, and Snow had felt her heart break as she heard it (she would have almost want to die when she knew it): then, the young woman with violet eyes sank slowly into depression. Fall had been so simple, so, so easy...

The situation itself was extremely easy, Snow loved a young woman, her step-mother and this one didn't love her; the princess was sometimes taken by a desire to die. For now, she tried nothing, because she didn't have the occasion to.

But there was a morning where the princess didn't want to go out of her bedroom; when she woke up, her look was attracted by something that was in her bag. A fine dagger, given by her father to her so she could defend herself. The woman's look became blurred, and she took the weapon.

For a time, she was tempted to use it on herself; cut her wrists and let her blood flow and just let herself slowly slide, slide into an eternal sleep. An almost crazy smile settled on the face of the princess, and during an instant, the temptation became almost too strong. The look lost and empty, she gripped the weapon in her fine fingers, almost cutting herself; she was ready to do it, she just had to...

"Snow, are you okay ? The princess started as she heard Dreamy's voice; this one, worried that the princess didn't answer to his calls, finally decided to go up, and was now close to her room.

- Yes Dreamy, don't worry, answered the princess with a false assured voice. Just... let me just five minutes", she said by tightening her embrace on the dagger.
