I never exactly meant to be evil. I mean it's not like I had a checklist for my life. But I always wanted to marry a prince or rather a king. Was it my fault he just happened to be so boring? Come on, I worked hard to get my butt on the throne. Then little Snowy comes prancing in all pretty and prim, and she was going to take my place! The way she painted it made me look like the bloody wicked witch of the west! Everybody knows she tried to kill a little girl, not nearly as obnoxious as Snowy might I add (yes I actually did get to meet her in the end, she was quite nice, that reminds me she promised to visit soon), for a bloody pair of shoes (yes, they were very nice shoes, really lovely I must get a pair . . . but still!)! Besides I can't be her, she died two years ago.
Fine. Condemn me if you will, but honestly she really was the most irritating little thing. Always flaunting her youth! I mean, it's not like I can help getting older; it's a natural thing. A wrinkle here, a-a grey h-hair there . . . I'm sorry it's just a very emotion time for me right now . . .
You should have heard the way she talked to me; as if she were queen already. Well, I said to myself, I said; I better put that girl in her place before she gets cocky. It certainly gave me a laugh when I heard Snowy was living in the forest with Dwarves! Little miss girly-girl, miss prim and proper, living in a dirty wood! I imagined that would straighten her out . . . The way she tells it, she was all nice, and made do; but I swear I could hear her shrieks from the castle. Every time a spider approached her . . . Ha, I laughed my head off imagining her having to deal with bugs. Perhaps something along the lines of "Ew, ew, ew!"
Hmm . . . I am trying to think of a way to explain her. Have you ever seen 'Super Nanny'? Yep, imagine that only apparently incurable. Whining, screaming, temper tantrums - and the stream of profanity! - really, she really shouldn't have been so spoilt by my (sniff) former husband. If she doesn't get her way God help us. The castle staff were threatening to leave! What could I have done?! Granted I didn't handle it as well as I could have, but what experience do I have with a moody teenager? I never was one myself, I was raised in a proper court, and learnt my place. Stupid, spoilt, brat! And I'm the bad guy? Wicked step-mother indeed!
