Hi - I think I'm finally sort of ready to start on this again. So sorry it took so long. Things were a little rough in a new place. I might take some time off to do some reading too, so the first few bits might take a while. Unlike others, I had to choose between writing and reading, But here's the prologue - I hope you'll still enjoy Part 2 as much as part 1. It's still going to be pyschological Horror Mystery.
Cheers.
Return to the Gingerbread House

PROLOGUE
A female sat before her mirror in a room in an unknown location and an unknown date. Once she was a child, and once she was a young lady. Now she was neither. That was how long she had been there. And during that time, she lived in her past, reliving the bedtime stories her mother and father told. But she was no longer that child, and time had changed her as she grew. The fairy tales, once a form of escapism, had begun to take on a real living dimension. She was Rapunzel, but she would become Snow White. And soon, she would have her seven dwarves…
And outside, the guards and care-takers went on with their normal lives, totally unaware of what was transpiring in that room.
The female took out her favorite notebook, picked up her favorite pen, and started writing again. Soon, the fairy tales would come to life, her Big Brother would come for her, as would her Prince Charming. They would have their vengeance, and then live happily ever after.
So she smiled a hard cold smile as she started writing:
Little Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
A Special Edition
By Gretel for Hansel
Once upon a time in midwinter, a child was born. She was white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as ebony wood, and therefore they call her Little Snow-White. She was much beloved by her father and mother, and especially her big brother. She spent her days helping her mother make medicines for her people.
Then one day an evil queen appeared in the kingdom. She made every man in the village work for her and forced them to love her. They all fell for her beauty, except for Snow-White's own very special brother. The Queen trapped him in a magical Gingerbread House, but he fought her, and one day he escaped promising vengeance. The Queen searched far and wide but found him not.
So the evil queen turned to her magic mirror and asked:
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who can tell me his next port of call?
And the mirror said:
He will come for Snow White, and then kill us all.
When the queen heard it, she became pale with fear and fury. From that hour on, Snow White was always under guard and key. But her fear gave her no peace. So the evil queen hired seven deadly mercenaries to guard Snow White day and night. Still her fear gave her no peace. The evil queen hired more mercenaries to go after the brother, promising them great rewards should they succeed. None of them ever returned to claim the prize.
And Snow White grew up and became a woman. One with a plan, a vendetta…
The woman closed her notebook with an audible 'snap' and call for her seven dwarves…
