"Runaways"

Part 4

"Holy shit! I'm in deep fucking shit!"

This was Randall; the one intended to kill Princess Snow White. However, at the last minute, he decided that he couldn't follow through the Queen's instructions. And so he had her leave the castle perimeter. He too decided to escape himself, for he feared the Queen's Wrath…especially the thought of him being tortured and then killed…

Since he had no family of his own, he became lonely and afraid in the dark forest. It was there that he encountered a red-haired girl, who looked very worried.

"Do you mind if I talk to you. I'm lonely."

"Okay, old man. But my worries stem from me being separated from my sister for so long. O, how I long to just see her again."

"You're attached to your sister?"

"Yes."

"Lucky! I have no family of my own."

"Gee, that's sad. However, you don't experience the loss of relatives like I did. First, my parents and finally my grandmother were all killed by fanatic Christians…"

"Fanatic Christians? Did they mean well?"

"NO!"

"Okay…continue with your story." He became very interested.

"Anyway, my sister must have taken a bad step, or else I wouldn't be here looking for her."

"Can you tell me your and your sister's names? My name is Randall, and I used to be a huntsman for Queen Agatha."

"QUEEN AGATHA?!" The girl was surprised by the mention of such a name.

"Yes."

"What happened?" The girl wondered.

"I was sent on a cruel mission from the queen to execute the Princess as shamelessly as possible. The princess seemed too pretty to be covered in her blood and gore…"

The girl wondered in amazement and then in horror.

"Does the Queen want her dead? And if so do you know why?"

"To be honest, I don't know why Her Majesty wants Princess Snow White dead?" he said regretfully.

"Well then, we must hurry up before the Queen mixes up the Princess with my sister. My sister looks like Her Highness, but with longer hair. And worse, she's also named Snow White."

"Well then, we can go together to find the both of them, miss…"

"Call me Rose Red, Randall."

"Okay Rose, let's go!"

And so, these two people continued to walk through the forest to find the two Snow Whites.

Part 5

A trail of blood led to the same cottage that Snow White (Rose Red's sister) found herself in. She didn't know how the blood got into this cottage earlier. All she knew was the smell of boiling cabbages and stewed rabbits that she would cook to the proprietors of the cottage; and there were seven of them, and they were far shorter than any man. They were miners in one of the Queen's mines were they were forced all day to dig a side of the Mountain for valuables: gold, sliver, diamonds, crystals, and so on. And so they would come home tired and hungry and not having the time for basic housekeeping.

The leader of the group, named Melochier, said this about Snow White's first appearance: "Why how terrible your plight must be. Of course, we also loathe and fear the wicked Queen. You must take shelter with us. You can clean up the house while we are in the dreaded mines making riches for Her Majesty. And everyday we come home tired and hungry. You can also cook us up supper for yourself and us."
Another miner, Jasper, said this: "You look the Princess herself…you even have her name as well. And she is the most beautiful person I have ever known…"

Yet another, Erick, said this: "Hold on…(holds nose)…wait Snowy, give me a handkerchief…AAAHHHHCHOOOO!"

Marion: "Please forgive me…but…(yawns for a long time)…yes…I often get…(yawns)…the most sleepy…(snores)…"

Anslon: "OH GEE! WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME (shakes her hand in an exited fashion, begins winking)! ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE FUN TODAY…"

Nelson: "DO WE NEED ANOTHER FUCKING MOUTH TO FEED!! OH YEAH, ANSLON, YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP! WE DON'T NEED YOUR HAPPY BULLSHIT!!"

Another one, named Jarin, was mute and couldn't say anything. But he also expressed enthusiasm in the same manner as the rest of the men (except Nelson).

Anyway, Snow White could not feel more at home, but she felt she was safe, and that her sister could find her soon…

In the meantime, someone was watching her already…
