What Happens Next
Chapter 1
As Snow White walked down from the throne one thought went through her head what happens next? She spotted the Huntsman earlier but now she could not see him and that bothered her a little. However she did not have to worry for long because as she reached the back of the room she heard "Your Majesty." Snow White turned around and saw him behind her. She smiled and said "Hello Huntsman. Are you enjoying yourself? How about we take a walk I don't know how long I can stand being in that room." The huntsman in turn nodded and they started their walk around the castle before he said "So what was with your expression up there your Majesty?" Snow thought for a second before deciding to tell him most of the truth. She sighed and said "I am just wondering what will happen next? Am I fit to rule?" The huntsman just looked at her as he said "I don't know what will happen next but you will be a great queen your Majesty." Snow turned to him and said "Please stop that. I cannot stand being called that. So please when it is just you and me please call me Snow. You never did tell me your name, what is because huntsman seems too formal." The huntsman smiled at her and said "My name is Eric yo... Snow." Snow smiled at him and said "Well Eric I think I should be getting back people will wonder where I went to." Eric smiled as well before saying "Aye and we wouldn't want that would we?" Snow felt her cheeks heat up before they both walked back into the room where they previously were.
After Snow had greeted several of the nobles she then went to say hello to the dwarves. When she reached them Beith said "Your Majesty, how are you doing?" Snow smiled at them and said "I am doing fine Beith. I am just a bit nervous about ruling." Muir looked up and said "You have no reason to be nervous Snow White. You will be a great queen." Snow curtsied and said "Thank you. Now I think I might retire and get out of this awful dress." The dwarves bowed at her and just as she was about to exit the room William and the Duke walked up to her and the Duke said "You Majesty" Snow had to resist the urge to roll her eyes "You will be a great queen your father would be proud." Snow nodded and said "Thank you Duke. I am feeling tired so if you do not mind I wish to retire now." There was a look of disappointment on William's face but the Duke said "Of course your majesty. Your ladies will be waiting in your room." Snow nodded at the Duke once again and said "Thank you now I must head off." The Duke nodded and left and Snow turned around and walked into the corridor. William followed her saying "Your Majesty can we have a quick word before you retire?" Snow nodded and said "You can walk with me until I reach my chambers." William nodded and started walking with Snow and he said "Your Majesty, Snow, I hope you have seen and know of the feelings that I have for you." Snow faltered but only for a second before she said "William" but he didn't hear her and so he also said "I was wondering what you would think of marriage?" This time Snow did stop and she turned to William and said "William I know how you feel about me but I do not feel the same way about you. I am sorry Will. Good night." She left him just standing there in the corridor as she continued on to her chambers, her father's old one.
When Snow got to her chambers her ladies in waiting were waiting for her to arrive there. As soon as she got in she asked "Can you please help me get ready to go to bed?" The ladies nodded and one of them went to run Snow a bath. The others got Snow out of the dress so she could actually take the bath. As soon as she was ready they led her into the bathroom. She stepped into the tub, which was once filled with the white liquid that Ravenna had used, and just relaxed because of the heat of the water. She submerged herself in the water and just let her body relax and she let the tension that had built up release. She was in there for about an hour before her ladies came back to her and let her know that she needed to get out soon or she might prune. They let her changed into her night clothes and put a robe on her dresser. They stayed in the room with her until she said "I can handle myself for the rest of the night. Thank you for all you have done." Each of the ladies bowed to her before they left.
Snow turned in for the night. She climbed into bed and drifted off to sleep. She started to toss and turn in her sleep a couple hours later dripping in sweat and gasping for air. She couldn't stand being in that room so she grabbed her robe and she rushed out the door passing Eric, she did not see him though and he soon ran after her calling "Snow!" She didn't hear him right away but after she got a ways away from the room she slowed down and finally heard Eric calling her name. She stopped walking now and turned to Eric and said "I'm sorry Eric I didn't hear you." Eric nodded and said "Well what made you run out of your room like that?" Snow started to say "I was having a night" but she stopped and then said "Wait how did you know I ran out of my room." Eric sighed and said "I was standing outside your room guarding you." Snow looked up at Eric and said "Thank you I am glad that it was you out there and not anyone else." She saw a certain look in his eyes and she said "Because if it was William what happened earlier would have made this much more awkward and any other guard would have most likely went to get him." Eric nodded and asked "Do you want to continue your walk? Maybe it will help you sleep later." Snow nodded her head and said "Yes I would like to continue my walk. Would you like to join me?" Eric nodded before he said "Aye I would." They continued the walk for a little while before Eric asked Snow "Why would have William being outside your room be awkward?" Snow sighed and slowed her walking to almost a complete stop before she turned to Eric and said "He told me how he felt about me." She saw the light in Eric's eyes fall a bit as did his face but she quickly added "And I told him that I did not feel the same way." There was now a glimmer of hope in Eric's eyes as he said "If you do not mind me asking, Snow, why can you not return his feelings?" Snow looked up at Eric's face and said "I cannot return his feeling because all that I remember of him is from when we were young; also because my heart already belongs to another." Snow's breathe hitched when she realized the last part of what she said. Eric gazed at her before asking "Who does your heart belong to then?"
