Sleeping Beauty
There once was a princess who lived in the woods with her three fairy godmothers. This princess was called Aurora. One day, Aurora came across a prince called Phillip. Aurora, who was raised in isolation with only her fairy godmothers for company, was very naive. As a result, she believed the prince was in love with her. This was not the case, however, because the prince was not interested in a relationship with Aurora. This was why when she pricked her finger on a spinning wheel, Aurora thought:
"He will come, my prince will save me."
Then everything faded to black.
The prince never came to wake her with 'True Love's Kiss'. Not because he couldn't find her, but because he didn't care to look for her.
"No, this is the end." A person hiding in the shadows thought." No one will save you."
This is where the story ends, with Princess Aurora never waking up from her slumber, forever remaining a Sleeping Beauty.

However, I had already gotten an idea from the first angle that I had wanted to use, and so I did.
