The Apple Tree

The Book

Snow looked at the book curiously, she suddenly remembers her mother's sweet blue eyes and her long blonde hair neatly placed in a high ponytail. She always loved reading Snow the tales, Snow smiled warmly when she remembered her mother's face. She opened the book and flipped through the pages, they were stories of adventure and freedom...how on earth did Snow forget these tales?.

Stories of a woman who tamed a dragon and another warrior princess who slayed a titan, she found one that caught her eye. It was called 'Tale of the Apple Tree' and it spoke of a tree that can grant any wish you desire and that it can be found in the deep woods of the kingdom of the fairies. It was deep in the woods and it is guarded by a witch, Snow was intrigued reading about this 'maybe if I actually tried to find this tree, would it earn my freedom?' Snow thought to herself 'I'm being silly, it's just a fairytale...I mean fairies and witches??'

She closed the book and sighed "at least I get to keep the last part of you" she held the book tightly to her chest and smiled remembering how her mother always encouraged her to stay strong

The room was cold and silent, there stood a certain blonde princess holding a hand mirror "why would father give me this?" She wondered to herself "because only someone with magic in there blood can access my wisdom, you have magic deep inside of you" the mirror replied. Allura was shocked "magic?! Ugh your like Snow and her little fairytales!" Allura didn't believe the mirror "believe me princess, I am never wrong" the mirror replied calmly. "Tch, well your wrong this time" the mirror sighed "fine then, don't believe me. But you'll re-" "enough games, tell me who prince Esteban will marry" Allura interrupted getting impatient "he will Marry a beautiful princess" Allura squealed in joy "I'm going to marry Esteban!" Allura span around the room already planning the wedding "princess you are no-" "shut up, your ruining my mood" the mirror sighed and held his tongue as the princess ran out the chambers probably looking for that poor Esteban

The next morning followed with breakfast, Esteban was there along with King Stephan, King Fredrick and the two princesses, they were both hungry. One wanted a boy and the other wanted her damn pancakes, you can already tell which is which. King Fredrick was talking to King Stephen excitedly "oh I just can't wait for our alliance!" King Stephan sighed looking annoyed by Fredricks friendliness "yes, I can't either" he says in a low voice. Esteban looked to be in deep thought, he must have been thinking about Ella, "oh, there was good news that wasn't announced in the banquet since our little Snow ran out!" Fredrick said while standing up "My son will be engaged to Snow White!" he exclaimed as the three looked mortified. Allura was fuming with rage, Esteban cleared his throat "forgive me father for saying this, I mean no disrespect but I...fell for someone else" Snow sighed in relief "I don't want to be married either" she stated as the kings glared at there children "Esteban, we are at a allies home and you dare disrespect them like this?!" Fredrick yelled at his son "but I-" "no buts Esteban, go to your chambers" Esteban sighed and stomped to his room. Snow got up as well "I'm not hungry anymore" and walked to her own chambers as well. Fredrick sighed and sat down rubbing his temples in frustration "At least Allura is well behaved" Fredrick mumbled with a small smile. "yes she is, she's just like how I was at her age" Stephen said with a proud smirk, Allura smiled proudly at the compliments. "don't worry fredrick, they'll get married wether they like it or not" Allura dropped her smile hearing that, she gets up and politely excuses her self. "why does she always have to get everything, there's throne and Esteban and-" she stops in-front of her mothers portrait "she even took you..." Allura sighed sadly "what does she have that I don't, I work everyday trying to prove that I am worth...who am I kidding, Esteban doesn't even like me." Allura looked at her mothers eyes "she has your eyes you know, I see her in you everyday" she walks away from the portrait.

Ella sat in her cold and dark cell, she wonders why she was placed in here. A maid walks in holding a tray of food "oh my, this is the biggest meal I've gotten since I've been here!" Cinderella says as the maid places the tray "well thats because it's mine.." Cinderella squints here eyes "wait a minute, Snow??" Snow smiles awkwardly "yeah, I'm sorry about what my sister did to you. I know they don't give you the best meals so I snuck in some of my breakfast!" Cinderella smiles warmly "thank you so much Snow!" she eats the food and Snow sits next to her "so, who was that friend that gave you the book?" Snow wondered "her name is Minerva.." Cinderella said while chewing her food "She told me to help you escape along with Allura but it didn't go as planned" Snow raised a brow "she wants to help me escape?" Cinderella nodded "yes, she said it was her duty"  Snow was about to ask for more information but she heard footsteps "it must be a guard, I have to go. Bye Ella!" Snow whispered as she ran out. Cinderella waves a goodbye

Snow ran in the halls and bumps into someone, she mutters a quick apology and looks up seeing Esteban. "Sorry Princess" he says "hey it's alright, thanks for doing what you did back at the dining room. No offense your great but I want to marry for love" Esteban nods understandingly "that's what I want as well" Snow rememberers him and Ella in the garden "Ella was thrown in the dungeon last night..." Esteban's jaw dropped "they what!?" He was about to run to the dungeon but Snow grabbed his arm "wait, I have an escape plan for Ella and myself. You can join us too" Esteban turns around to face Snow "an escape plan?" He asked curiously, Snow nods and takes him to the library so no one overhears Snow's plan.
