OS 2 : You're wrong.
Pairing : Snow White/Lilith
The terrible voice of the queen resonated in the room.
"You're fired !"
The look of the young servant crossed through her, full of surprise.
Anna was a young chambermaid, who was working at the castle, under princess' Snow White service.
The life at the castle wasn't really easy, especially since the king left and went to war, and that the queen finally took control.
Anna didn't hate her, but it was the case of other people, like the cook, Maddy, who had been fired from the castle not a long time ago.
Fear was the master of the castle, maybe because the queen had powers, people were saying, black magic, dark, evil.
Anna didn't believe it.
She couldn't believer that this woman, so young, so kind at a certain time and who seemed to be so soft some years ago could be as evil as they said.
It couldn't be possible.
Yet, the queen just fired her.
And why ?
Just as for Maddy, for nothing.
What did she do to deserve such a fate ?
She had to go, so she had nothing else to loose, and, more than anything, she wanted to understand.
Understand the reason of this act, and even understand the queen in general.
Understand this hatred she seemed to feel against Snow White, and that she sent against the poor princess who never did anything to her.
Understand how, in some years, this tender affection she felt for her had been able to disappear.
Understand from where this darkness was coming.
Understand why she was faking it.
Understand her, in fact.
"What did I do to provoke your anger your majesty ? Did I ever disrespect you, did I ever fail in my job, or was I ever discourteous toward the princess ?"
The queen's look became darker as she heard it, and the servant understood she was surely right, without knowing it or wanting it.
Ah, the princess ! So, everyone really had to make everything be linked to this young woman, the queen told to herself, annoyed, even though she did understand the reason why.
The beautiful princess, with dark hair and purple eyes. The soft princess, so kind, so good, so respectful, so… perfect.
The princess who seemed to be so close to her servant…
"So, it had to do something with her, right ? I should have known it… But, and what ? What does it have to do with me, exactly ? What did I do to you ?
- You touched her, Lilith whistled, with her voice full of anger and hatred.
- What… Anna hiccuped, before she shut up, not understanding what was happening."
Wait… what ?
What… What do you mean ?
The young woman couldn't think anymore, understanding less and less what was the reason why the queen was blaming her.
Unless…
"You were here ? She screamed, almost hysterical. What… how could you ? Or you looked at us with your magic mirror, it's the only explanation, she continued, horrified."
Some hours before, she talked with a devastated Snow White, crying, being sure her step-mother didn't love her, that she would just receive hatred from her, and nothing else. As she wanted more, so much more.
And Anna had been able to understand all the love the princess was feeling for the other woman.
They talked for hours, Anna trying to comfort the princess, who was crying again, well Anna mostly talked, so it wasn't really a talk.
And then, things… get out of control.
Kind of.
It didn't really happen that way, but well, let's just say that something happened.
Oh nothing, just a little thing, well, it would have been, in a normal situation.
A kiss.
There was a kiss between the two women.
Well, not really.
Snow White kissed Anna.
A kiss without any passion, without love, without anything, just despair and pain.
The only way for the princess – well, she thought it – to take away her sadness, her pain, and all these things that were a true burden on her heart, which were destroying her more and more.
It was what Lilith saw, and, her heart into pieces, she didn't want to go further, and just stopped looking at her mirror, rage burning in her, as she was decided to make her go, this little bitch, who dared touching her princess, and this, as fast as she could !
The thing she didn't see, is that, the second after, Anna repulsed her.
"Princess ! She exclaimed, indignat."
Because the thing was that, you didn't kiss people just like that !
"I'm sorry, the young woman said, awkward, it's just that… I was so..."
It hurts so much.
I am so desperate.
I just want to believe it won't end badly.
"It doesn't matter… princess, this is not what you need.
- What do you know about it ? What do you know about what I need, or even what I want ?
- You don't love me. You're just hurt, you feel alone, in pain, and you think the entire world is falling around you. I understand you, but you must keep hope.
- Please Anna… Don't leave me alone."
The young servant let the princess lay on her bed, before going on her side, laying on it too, taking her into her arms.
"Don't worry princess… I stay here, I promise you."
§§§§
Anna sent a smile without any joy to the queen.
So, it was just that ?
Anger, for a simple kiss ?
Then, she frowned.
No, it was not just for that, it was going so much far.
There was something, in the queen's voice, something like…
But no, it was impossible.
"You're jealous ?"
The queen started with surprise, and she tensed, as she knew she had been uncovered.
The servant smiled to her.
"You love her, don't you ?"
She didn't answer to her.
"It explains so many things, the young woman whispered."
The queen didn't really know what it could explain, but she didn't try to know it.
"Go out, she said, not even trying to understand what happened.
- You're wrong, my queen."
And she left.
