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

Drabble 11 : You're the one I was waiting for.

Centred on the Huntsman; when he realizes that Cinderella is the woman he saw in his dreams.

Spoil : Charm + Beauty

Pairing : Huntsman/Cinderella.

The Huntsman needs time before he realizes that this is her who is just in front of him; the first time he understands it, he is still a rat, and the queen didn't yet free him in part from the spell. He doesn't really have time to think about it right now, because one of the things that he has to do now, is to find the queen.

After he found her, he goes again to Cinderella' home, because he has no other place to go, and because there is something in him that tells him that he has to go there. And even if he doesn't understand yet why, he decides to follow his instinct. There is no This is her that explodes in him when he sees her again, but this red hair is familiar to him. But for now, nothing wakes up in him.

He doesn't realize that it's the girl of his dream, his true love, when she is under the spell of her "fairy god-mother" (this is not really who she is, but the Huntsman doesn't care about it.) He understands this before, when he hears her laugh, in his spirit something activates for the first time and he sees again this silhouette who ran just in front of him.

It's the moment when he realizes it, and suddenly he really feels complete. Even if she deceives him then because the only thing she wants, is the prince (and him, he knows the true face of him; he hope that she will understand it soon, or he will be a rat forever.)

When she is here, next to him, as he is human, he doesn't care about the fact that she despises him, because one day, she will know. And this is why he smiles, because the only thing he thinks when she is here is: you're the one I was waiting for.
