Short Twisted Fairytales

Snow White

This is my twist on the classic Snow White story. I hope you enjoy.

Claire was a simple farm girl who lived with her father(her mother was dead). She never dreamed that he would leave her. But here she was, talking with the local Constable, just realizing that her father was dead, killed in a horrible accident.

Claire was speechless as she looked at the men. "We've arranged for you to live with your aunt(and the queen) Snow", said one man.

" What about my father's farm?" Claire asked.

"We'll take care of that", the man said.

" Okay, I guess I'm going to my aunt Snow's", Claire said.

"Get ready, we leave tomorrow", the man said.

" I'm sorry, we?" Claire said.

"Yes, we're escorting you to your aunt's castle", the man said.

" Okay, fine", Claire said.

That next day, they set out. It was a three hour journey, but no one spoke until they got there.

"Well, this is the place miss", the men said at the same time. Then they looked at each other, shrugged, and left. For Claire it was as if they were taking a big piece of her with them.

"Can I help you?" Snow said from behind Claire.

"I'm your niece, Claire", she said

" Oh. well then, let me show you to your room", Snow said.

"Okay", Claire said.

When they got there, Claire realized that it was a big room in an even bigger tower.

" Thank you aunt Snow", she said.

"Don't get used to it", said Snow.

" Okay, I won't?" Claire said questioningly.

Snow left without another word, not even a glance back.

That night, as Claire was sleeping, Snow came down to ask her Mirror if she was still the fairest in the land, as she usually did. But instead of its usual answer, it said," why, Claire, of course".

Snow was so upset by this that she had a temper tantrum that broke the mirror. This woke up Claire, who came down and said", what's going on, are you okay?"

"Yes dear, go back to sleep", Snow said in an icy cool tone.

" Okay", Claire said, and went back to bed.

The rest of the night, Snow devised a plan to kill Claire. She would have a huntsman kill her.

The next morning, Snow said to Claire", go outside, I have a surprise waiting for you.

"Okay, but what's the surprise", Claire said.

" It's a surprise, silly", she said with a giddy voice.

"Okay, I guess I'll see what it is", Claire said.

" have fun!" Snow shouted after her. As soon as Claire was out the door she let out a blood curdling evil laugh.

When Claire saw the boy standing outside, she didn't know what to think, until he said," come here".

She walked over and he said", the queen is evil and is plotting to kill you! You have to leave!"

"Where would I go?" Snow asked.

"There's a cottage of 7 dwarves in the woods. They will give you shelter".

" okay, thank you for helping me", said Claire.

"No problem, I hate to see people being hurt", said the boy.

Then Claire ran, didn't look back or anything, until she came to a cottage. It was an average size cottage. She walked up to it and knocked on the door. No answer.

Until someone behind her said," what do you want?

" She looked behind her and replied," A place to stay".

"Well then, come on in", said the dwarf.

" What's your name",said Claire.

"My name's Grumpy, and if you don't stop asking me questions, I really will be grumpy".

" Aren't there 6 other dwarves that live here?"

"The 'evil' queen killed them all", Grumpy said.

" Well, I'm sorry to hear that", Claire said.

"It's fine", Grumpy said.

After that, they didn't talk except to show Claire to her bed.

That night, the queen set out to find the cottage that the queen had forced out of the boy. She. Had dressed herself as an old hag and had poisoned an apple prior to this. As Claire slept, the queen snuck in, careful not to disturb anyone in their sleep. She put the apple on Claire's nightstand and left.

In the morning, Claire found an apple lying on the nightstand. She reached for it and bit into it at the same moment as the boy from before walked in and yelled at her to drop the apple. But it was too late. She had bitten the apple. Luckily, the boy knew CPR.
He gave her CPR, and in that instant, she woke up. " What are you doing here?" Claire asked.

"I came to save you", the boy said.

" I never caught your name", Claire said.

"My name's Sam", the boy said.

" I knew someone who was named Sam", Claire said.

"What happened to him?" Sam asked.

"He moved", Claire said.

" You know I'm the Sam you knew, right?" Sam said.

"Really?" Claire asked.

Sam nodded.

"I've been wondering where you went", Claire said.

Then Claire moved in with Sam's family.
