Another Story of Snow White

Another Story of Snow White

After being kissed by the prince, Snow White finally awoke from the forever sleep. In euphoria, Snow White said farewell to all of the dwarfs who had provided her food and shelter. After that, the prince took her went through the dark forest again to the castle and introduced her to the king and the queen, and set a time for commencing a marriage. The king looked deep into Snow White's eyes and then he said "you seem familiar. Have we ever met before? Have you been in a prom? Oh just forget it.. William, take her to her room, she looked so pale". "Yes, are you alright dear?" the queen added. "yes, I am alright. Perhaps, I just need a little rest after a long way across the dark forest to get here" She answered. Then the prince took her into her room in the corner. The king kept looking at Snow White and trying to recall his long term memory, but he could not remember the face.

A week after their marriage, Snow White got sick. Her face was paler than the dead. Her skin was as thin as paper. She vomited everything she ate, and the worst thing was that the large lump in her stomach as if she were in a 5-months-pregnancy. However, the prince knew quite well that it was impossible since they had just married for about a week. He did not know how to ask her, so that all his question kept unsaid. until one day, he could not stand being rained by all his insecurity and looking at her terrible condition, so he asked her a question "oh my dear, what is happening to you? Please tell me. What can I do?". In the middle of cough, she answered "It is our child, you will be a father soon".

"Don't lie! I know it is not my child. Tell me whose child it is. Tell me for the love of the God!", he panting.

"I am sorry dear, actually it is the dwarfs", she said it hoarsely and then lost her consciousness  eventually the prince called the doctor.

"What has happened to your wife?", the queen asked wistfully. "I don't know, but now she is with the doctor", he stammered. The prince muttered in panic and frantically took his sword and rushed into the dark forest.

The next day, the prince went home with a bloodstained sword. He threw his sword and soon talked to the doctor about his wife. "The princess is getting better. I am sure she will be fine after the confinement that supposedly will occurred a month later", the doctor explained.

the prince hasted into the room and got shocked as he saw his wife laying in a dim-lit room, she looked like a zombie with a very big stomach, and it was much bigger now. She wailed hoarsely "My dear, where have you been? I am afraid", then she sniffed around and frantically asked "you're so fishy, and why are your clothes covered with mud and blood?". "Nothing, I have just comeback from the forest, hunting, as usual. What are you afraid of my dear?"

"I don't know whether it was merely a dream or a real, but last night I heard slow footsteps and people whispering about killing. I am afraid dear, please stay close with me", she hugged the prince. "Don't be afraid, I'll be here for you and there is nothing in this world can hurt you. I don't know, but judging from your condition, I just think that your stepmother had put a curse on you".

A month had passed, Snow White's stomach was becoming bigger and bigger, she wailed all the time, her body was covered with sweat. She was about to give a birth to her baby. With the help from the doctor, the terrible confinement was about to be done.

In the other room, the king, the queen, and the prince were in panic, suddenly the king said in a high pitch of his voice as he pointed his hand "If it is a boy, I must kill him!". "But why? No, it is my child. None in this world can touch him when I am still alive!", the prince snarled.

"Your child? You meant the dwarfs' child? She has been raped by the old little obscene men as if she were an animal!", he king gritted. "Be silent, all of you! Oh God! it is not a time for arguing", the queen cried.

suddenly, they heard Snow White croaked. Frantically, they scattered around to the room. The room reeked of blood, he queen immediately fainted. In the dimly-lighted room, they saw loath blood all over the room, the doctor was laying breathless in the darkest corner, his stomach was slashed, his limbs were hanging loose, he had been ripped.

"What has happened dear? Are you alright? Where is our child?, the prince rushed and hugged Snow White who was quivering and crying. "Someone has just come and taken our son", she stammered. "I know who did this", the prince hasted. He ignored all what Snow White said, he took his sword and rushed into the king's room. Meanwhile, the king was carrying the queen who was unconscious because of the shock of seeing a gruesomely sight. The king talked under his breath "I shouldn't have let you enter the room, I knew that you heart is weak". Suddenly the door was slammed, the prince came, taking a sword "Where is my son? Why did you do this to me?".  The king kept silent, he was talking to the queen who was still unconscious. "Answer me!", the prince snarl. In a rage, the king took a sword under his bed and said "How dare you talk to me in that way. I could almost wish him dead for such a shame he will bring to this empire". In the infuriating, they unsheathed their sword.

Snow White was crying, hearing out all what happened in the king's room. Her husband and father-in-law were fighting in a madness, but then as she heard nothing, she grimace. In that dimly-lighted room, she took a potion under the bed, and swallowed it. She began laughing. As she imbibed the potion, her throat was sore as if it was burnt. The pain was irresistible so that she could not help herself from wailing, but suddenly he pain was lessening. Then she took a mirror from the bottom of the bed and looked at herself on it "My face is back. Oh sacred mirror.. tell me who the most beautiful woman in this world is". Then the mirror answered "You, You are the most beautiful woman in this world my queen".

She was walking to the darkness, laughing. She still remembered everything she had done. "Poor Snow White, you could have lived happily if you choose another side of the apple. I can remember it clearly, in that rainy day, when I came, taking a red apple and halving it to both of us. She choose one side and turned her into a hag and died by the stupid dwarfs, while I, who ate another side fell into forever sleep, but I have already knew from the first time that there will be someone who came and save me. I just need to wait for someone to come and kissed me, and it happened. They were in euphoria to see me alive, except one of the dwarf, although he was deaf and dumb too. Yet, he was still a threat, and he may ruin all my plans. So that I fooled the prince to kill them all, overall, it is fair enough. The prince took a revenge for the death of his beloved". In the outside of the castle, she met a small red creature with a horn in his forehead. "Hey, where is your dad?", she yelled. "I don't know ma. After playing with the man with a white clothes in that room, he took me here and just disappear", the red creature said. "Well, followed me, quickly! the sun is about to rise", she said.
