Gretel

"Whatever your plan is, we did what you asked. Now you have to keep your promise and find our father."

"Of course, to reunite your family so you can live happily ever after... You were left alone in the woods. You deserve better than a father who'd abandon you."

~~

"You and your brother have impressed me. You aren't the first boy or girl that I've sent into that sticky, sweet house... But you are the first to emerge. And as a reward, I've decided to invite the two of you to live with me, here."

"You mean, that we get to live in a castle?"

"Yes! You would have your own rooms of course, personal carriages, valets, too. All of your dreams could come true..."

"Yes!"
"No!"

~~

"Hansel please, listen to reason! She is called the Evil Queen for a reason!"

"She can't be so bad if she has offered us a home, Gretel."

"But she's the reason our father is gone!"

~~

"You're not my sister anymore... You betrayed me, and I'm royalty now. Get out of my sight!"

"It is you who has betrayed me Hansel... and I will never forgive you for this."

~~

In the throws of a brothers betrayal, magics price, and her sudden shift from beloved daughter to orphan, what is Gretel to do? Will she be able to handle it all and go through life alone? Read to find out.
