Once upon a time in a land far away, lived a beautiful maiden with Alabaster skin. She lived in a castle of modest size, but intense beauty. Her name was Snow White. She was the fairest maiden in all the land, but she was kind, and soft hearted. The stepmother was kind, and also beautiful, and she held snow's best interests at heart. This in mind, she had decided the time had come to marry Snow White to a prince in the neighboring kingdom, unknowingly disturbing the romance that Snow White already had with a huntsman. The two lovers had met secretly for some time, and Snow White was, understandably, upset when her stepmother told her of her plans...

" What do you mean, I am betrothed?" Snow shouted at the news.

"Now dear, It's time for you to start a family" The queen replied

"Stepmother, how can I marry a man I don't love?"

"It's not about love, dear."

Snow's hand went unconsciously to her stomach. Her mind raced in horror. "What will I do now? I can't marry the prince! What will become of me? If the queen finds out, What will become of my dear Huntsman?"

Snow devised a plan to save herself and her huntsman. " I will have to run," she thought, as she packed her small pack. "What choice do I have?"

The huntsman appeared at her door. "What are you doing?"

"I'm leaving!" She exclaimed. "She wants me to marry someone else."

The huntsman walked over to Snow, and took her in his arms. He held her close. When his hand dropped to cover her belly, Snow flinched and stepped away. Steeling herself over what she must do, she turned away from the huntsman.

"I have to go!"

"I'll come with you."

As tears threatened to rain down, Snow knew she had to end this quickly.

"I don't want you to come."

Snow's words were greeted by silence. She turned to see the huntsman staring at her. His expression stony. As she looked on, he turned and swept out of the room. Snow turned back to her pack. Snow left the comfort and safety of her home, and ran to the edge of the forest. The forest was strictly forbidden to her, but she had heard that on the other side, there was a town. She determined to hide there, and start a new life. The forest was a dark and forbidden place. Ever since she a had been a child she had been afraid of the

Snow had been walking for some time, and was beginning to feel tired. She was hungry and her feet hurt. She was just thinking about how she would love a little rest when she stumbled upon a quaint little cottage. "Hello!" she called, rapping her knuckles upon the door. When nobody answered she pushed it open to reveal an open room that looked as though a hurricane had blasted through. There were dirty dishes in the sink, and garbage everywhere. The place looked like it hadn't been aired in years!. "Ewww," She thought. "Who lives here in such a mess."

Snow, being of a kind heart, thought that she would just clean up the place, and maybe the occupant would let her stay. She washed and put away the dishes, and scrubbed the floors. She went up the stairs, and found seven tiny beds, amid a disgusting room, full of garbage and dirty linens. She tended to the room, cleaning it, and washing the dirty linens. Then having worked all day, she placed six of the beds together, lay across them and fell asleep.
