Theredshoes Stories

A young boy wanders into a mysterious place only to find a strange pair of ballet flats. Okay yep my first ACTUAL story that isn't a crack fic. So fun fact about me, writing is a big way of helping me cope with trauma, because it can allow me to create something so abstract or so blatantly obvious about what I went through. And personally the most enjoyable way to me is writing stories in the style of old Brothers Grimm/Edgar Allan Poe/Hans Christian Anderson type stories. This is but one of many similar stories I've written like this, so if this does well maybe I'll post more, but idk yet. Also yes I did try to use a fancier and more archaic writing style to mimic those classic stories, so it might come across as awkward sounding, mainly cuz I'm bad at writing like that lol.

Davina Hawthorne is the school's Drama Queen. She is ever under the spotlight, abusing her power and ridiculing those under her, especially in her Drama class. But when a major school accident happens because of Davina, it haunts her until she's forced to change, and causes her to question everything. Lila Rogers isn't much of a social butterfly. She keeps herself to herself, and paints sets for the school productions. But she's about to get involved with the most infamous girl in the school, and all because she did what she was asked. A modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast and The Red Shoes. COMING SOON

A peasant girl named Karen is adopted by a rich old lady after her mother's death and grows up vain and spoiled. Before her adoption, Karen had a rough pair of red shoes; now she has her adoptive mother buy her a pair of red shoes fit for a princess. Karen is so enamored of her new shoes that she wears them to church, but the old lady scolds her: it's highly improper and she must only wear black shoes in church from now on. But next Sunday, Karen cannot resist the urge to put the red shoes on again. As she is about to enter the church, she meets a mysterious old soldier with a red beard. "Oh, what beautiful shoes for dancing," the soldier says. "Never come off when you dance," he tells the shoes, and he taps the sole of each with his hand. After church, Karen cannot resist taking a few dance steps, and off she goes, as though the shoes controlled her, but she finally manages to take them off. One day, after her adoptive mother becomes ill, Karen leaves her alone and goes off to a ball in town in her red shoes. She begins to dance, but this time the shoes won't come off. They continue to dance, night and day, rain or shine, through fields and meadows, and through brambles and briers that tear at Karen's limbs. She can't even attend her adoptive mother's funeral. An angel appears to her, bearing a sword, and condemns her to dance even after she dies, as a warning to vain children everywhere. Karen begs for mercy but the red shoes take her away before she hears the angel's reply.
