Apple of the Eye

Chapter 1:The Beginning

Snow White's story doesn't end like in story books.Her story had just begun;

Long time ago,there lived kind sorceress and a great wizard.The couple were very kind,their neighbors were more than glad to have them.
The sorceress' name was Nora,while the wizard's name is Sekiah.
Sekiah were very good friends with the king.They were helping each other through the years,until their friendship developed.
One unfortunate day,the king became deeply sick.His vision was fading away,he couldn't hear so well,and his life was draining out.
So he thought,since Sekiah was a wizard Sekiah could heal him.He called on his servants to send a message to Sekiah telling him to come.

Sekiah my dear friend,Good day to you.I'm very sorry if I didn't visit you lately,forgive me.So,the reason why I sent this to you is because I need you to come to my castle,it would be deeply appreciated.I just really need your assistance,I have a problem.I was hoping you could help me get over this.Hoping you could come.
Your king and dearest friend,

King Aberdawn

The message was sent successfully,as soon as Sekiah saw the label of the King's castle on the envelope,he opened it immediately.He read the statement of the note,then hurriedly came to the castle.

"Oh,Mr. Sekiah.Please come inside,quickly sir."a house maid said,while leading him through thousands of corridors,and endless rooms inside the castle.

Behind all the this,Sekiah keeps on thinking of the king,he was deeply worried,the king was a great friend of his.And finally,after all the corridors they passed,this is the one,the one that hid the king inside it.The doors finally opened,revealing the suffering expression of the king.Thoughts of confusion filled Sekiah's mind,he couldn't tell what he was seeing,all he knew was he doesn't like it.

The king was screaming while being surrounded by the medics and doctors ,he looked as if he was about to die of torture,torture that his own body was giving him.Sekiah didn't know what to do,there was darkness around the room,people sobbing and feuds between some of them.It was all negative that he saw,but he finally moved from stiffness and went to the king,he walked shakily he couldn't say a word because of the tension around him.But his mouth opened,finally saying something.

"Aberdawn?"Sekiah said.

His tongue was blocked,he couldn't say anything.The only reply the king have was a nod.Aberdawn gave a gesture to the servants and doctors telling them to exit the room and leave him and Sekiah there.Sekiah could see Aberdawn's daughter crying at the corner of her father's bed,Sekiah pity her.Then she left the quiet room.

"Sekiah..."The king said.

"Yes,my king?,what's the problem?"

"Sekiah,I have an illness...and it's still incurable,all the doctors in the kingdom came to diagnose me,they said this was rare,very rare.And that there's still no cure.So I thought you could help me.Please help me,Sekiah.I want to see my daughter for more years and live with her."

"I,I,I cant."Sekiah said.

"Why?please have mercy."

"I'm very sorry,it's not worth the risk,my king."

"What risk?"

"It's just....if you take my potion,your body may not survive the healing process.So it's either you'll die or survive,but your chance of living is very very little.Only one man in history survived and not one even lasted a month.I'm very sorry,my king"

"No!you'll obey me!I am your king!,I don't care if there's a risk,I can get through this."

And then the king started a riot,the whole room started to go crazy.Then,Sekiah left the room with fear and confusion.After the king calmed down,he thought Sekiah didn't care for him so he decided to execute him,from then on,Sekiah and the king's friendship reached it's end.

"I thought he was my friend!I want him dead!"

Then at the stroke of midnight,the job was done.It was Sekiah's death,he was finally out of the king's hair.He was speared in the chest while in a deep slumber.Sekiah felt the pain,but his wife felt it more.
The night it happened,Nora was away.The day she arrived,she noticed that the door was already opened and the things inside were gone.Her heart fell,as she saw her beloved husband lying on the floor,dead.Blood all around,the spear used to stab Sekiah was there,Nora turned dark.
Her attitude turned black,she became cruel and evil.This was definitely not the Nora before,no one could recognize her.Because of her husband's death,she felt uglier than ever because no one in this world makes her feel beautiful but Sekiah.
Nora told herself to get revenge on whoever did this ugly crime,and promised herself to kill the one responsible for this unacceptable act.

"No one can replace Sekiah!!my life was finally perfect,and this happened.This,filthy,ugly,unacceptable crime!!whoever did this will pay!"she said.

And then,finally a hearing was held.Witnesses claimed that the king was the one responsible for this unmerciful crime.Nora was furious,darkness filled her mind,revenge was the only thing her heart ever wanted.
