A/N: There is finally a catagory for Once Upon A Time. So here it is. From the Wicked Witch's perspective.
I wasn't always ... like this. People see me as a monster. They don't consider that sometimes Fate decides these things, and you really can do nothing about it.
Oh, I put up an excellent front that I enjoy my position, that everyone hates me is perfectly fine by me.
You wouldn't care, would you mirror? Oh that's right you only speak truth. Not any feelings you might have. Fitting. For someone like me. Always have to cut out what hurts in the first place. Not feeling is better than hurting, right?
What gives them the right to call me evil? They're just perfect right? Living their measly pathetic perfect little insignificant lives. I prefer wicked. I am much more complex than anyone might think. I have my reasons for doing what I do. And I am wickedly good at it when I want to be. I can be charming, apparently harmless. If I was just simply evil, everyone would just know right? At least that's how they write it in the books.
No one considers that I once had dreams. About my happy ending. A prince doesn't want an enchantress though. He wants a gentle shepherd girl. A girl who likes bluebirds and is willing to do whatever is required of her.
Well that isn't me. That never was who I set out to be in the first place. I want my own place, I have my right to use my magic as I please, with taking responsibility where I make errors, not having someone tell me what is right or what is wrong in their eyes.
Sure, I thought it would be nice to have someone at my side for things - but the only person that seemed capable of that was Father. And I even had to betray him to reach my goals. To exact my revenge.
If I can't have a happy ending, I'll make sure no one does. I know you might think it childish, but that's what you are isn't it? A simple-minded little child. You don't have this burden of magic.
Because they aren't really happy endings, anyway. They are just like a lamp in a dark world, eventually it's going to run out of lamp oil and flicker out. And then all you're really left with is the dark.
Nobody ever just lives happily ever after.
R & R please? I am voice-testing, tell me if you think I am on the right track.
