PROLOGUE
CHAPTER LINKS HERE~
Once upon a time, oh well, it’s not always once upon a time when you start a fairy tale. Once upon a time isn’t an exact date that could tell us when it all did happens but most preferably, story tellers would love to start a tale with a mystery that the reader would definitely love to imagine it himself but that’s so redundant already. We grew tired of eating steaks everyday right? So I guess children had grown tired as well reading stories with a once upon a time on it. But this story isn’t for children. This is a bloody tale that no one had ever encountered yet. Wait! Don’t think of this as a vampire story or a zombie world where everybody will definitely be brought at the edge of their seat. Oh well, bringing the reader at the edge of their seat is one of the writer’s great talent but as what it was stated above, this isn't a vampire or a zombie story. This is a story that is most likely common but as what it was told, no one had ever encountered yet. I guess introduction is too much already. Why don’t we go straight to where it starts in order not to bore you or myself? I believe I got a yes on that.
Well, this story will starts from a girl with skin as pale as snow, lips as red as blood, eyes and hair as black as ebony. Guess who’s that? Yes, Snow White. No one in this world would ever answer Cinderella or Sleeping Beauty once beauty is being talked about. I don’t care if you disagree with me but Snow White is the fairest of them all. Oh I forgot, I should start this with a date, right? Well then, it was one snowy day, meaning winter, when the Queen had given birth to a girl named Snow White, to be exact it was 6th of June 666 ad.. See the three 6s there? Does it ring a bell on you? Well, it’s a demonic number that everyone will always talk about. But Snow White isn’t a demonic girl because she is loved by everybody. Her beauty and her kindness is incomparable to any person in the world that even the dwarfs had like her despite of their hate to someone like her, a human being. Maybe you weren’t told that dwarfs are racist creatures. They don’t like any other creatures other than their breed. But because Snow White had shown them the heart of being not that choosy in choosing friends, the dwarfs had return the same feeling as well. That is so touching but that’s not all of it. Would you like to know why Snow White’s mother died? I’ll definitely hear an answer telling me because she got sick or was hexed by a witch which eventually becomes Snow White’s step-mother but that’s not true. She wasn’t hexed or sick but simply in labor at that time. But why would she die if Snow White is just a small baby? Haven’t you ever asked that to yourself or to you story teller or to your granny, mommy or daddy? I don’t know if granddaddy do story like this as well but that’s not important anymore. What’s important is to know why she died and the answer is the thing that will change the entire tale into a bloody legend. Now, did I bring you at the edge of your seat just because of that one question? Well, more of it will come and this is just the beginning. But I don’t really like to start this at the very beginning because we’re all aware of how this story goes after all. Why don’t we jump at the end of the tale where Snow White died after eating a poisonous apple? And let say her prince was too late to kiss her and he was captured, tortured and killed. Of course, I’m not leaving the question above unanswered. I will even make you more curious why her mother died and who will save our pretty gorgeous Snow White. Why don’t we check the evil Queen? Maybe she’s doing her early morning ritual already by asking her most favorite mirror on the wall.
“Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who’s the fairest of them all?...” Yes, that’s her. The evil Queen. The witch that Snow White’s father had married after loosing his first Queen. The woman that every man had ever wished to have until Snow White grew into more than what she has. But yes, she’s more than what beautiful could mean more than the word itself. With hair as glossy as silk and as vibrant as gold, who would not dare to take a second look at that? And face not aging at all? She’s a bomb in every man’s eyes. But her attitude is the thing that makes her awful. She doesn’t have that kindness that makes her far beautiful compared to Snow White.
Now let’s check her mirror. It’s a shiny thing that could reflect you on it and its edges are made of gold, carved strangely with snakes and dragons eating and fighting each other. Everytime she’ll ask that “Mirror, mirror” enchantment words, something from its glossy surface will start to appear and even to step out from it. It’s an unknown thing which doesn’t have a face but looks like a person painted with blood all over it. Yeah, it’s creepy because everytime it walks out from the mirror, it leaves drop of red stains on the floor which stinks a lot. Now lets forget how it looks for a while and listen to what it’s about to answer. “I’m afraid my queen to say this but Snow White is still the fairest of them all…”
“WHAT?!...”
Oh crap! Even I was shocked to that.
“She’s dead! How come she is still the fairest of them all?...”
Yeah right. How come she is still the fairest of them all if her prince is already dead? Now the evil queen is restless. She steps back and forth with her finger touching her chin, thinking deeply how it is possible if Snow White is just beside her, lying on a bed of rotten roses with face so cold and so dead. There’s no way she is still alive because neither breath nor thump of her chest could be heard and she’s been there since last month.
“No way…” she murmured as she looked at the poor corpse. She touches it to check if life is about to appear from it again but nothing, she can’t feel anything at all. “How is this possible?...” she asked her mirror and that unknown being painted with blood all over it had moved to stand beside the corpse as well.
“She’s dead my queen but the prophecy had shown me something unusual…”
“What unusual?!...”
“I can see her walking alive with her prince now about to meet her soon…”
“Her prince is dead! No one could break my spell anymore unless that stupid prince will rise from the dead!...”
“That’s what I’m wondering as well my queen…” it moves around to hold Snow White on the hand. Then after a minute of observing probably, it found something surprising. “She’s alive my queen…”
“Are you fooling me around?!...” she raised her brow with her lips twitching in too much annoyance. “She’s dead! Can’t you tell by just touching her?...”
“Yes, she is dead right now my queen but she is alive somewhere in other time dimension…”
“In other time dimension?...” she crooked her nose with too much disbelief. “Are you telling me that Snow White is alive right now but living not on my dimension?!...”
“If there is such a thing like me your queen, you should believe as well that time dimension also exists…”
“So how am I going to kill her in that other time dimension?...”
“You don’t have to kill her, my queen. All you have to do is to never let her meet her prince…”
“Why?...”
“Because the other Snow White I’m talking about will bring that prince in this dimension and once that happens, this girl will live again…”
“Cursed this!...” she rampaged around her room, breaking everything on it except the mirror on the wall. “Why not just kill that other Snow White?!...”
“You can’t touch the people on the other time dimension just like how history can’t be changed, my queen. That’s why I’m giving you this advice; don’t let them meet and that will settle everything…”
“But I am not still the fairest of them all if that other Snow White lives!...”
“Snow White is just a mortal being, my queen. Her life is short, unlike yours. You will live forever and she will die again and again. There will be time that she is the fairest of them all but for eternity it will be you who will be the fairest of them all but in this time, you have to make sure this girl won’t live again because if that happens, you will never be the fairest of them all…”
“Why?...” she asked curiously.
“Because this maiden was born to end your evilness, my queen…”
“Huh!...” she scoofed and then she crossed her arms before her chest. She looked at the corpse with intent to burn it once again but any trick won’t affect it. Snow White’s purity had kept her corpse preserve that even fire couldn’t ash it back on the ground. She did try to whack it with an axe, to rip it piece by piece and to rotten it with worms and any other insects but even spiders won’t touch it. It is as if God is protecting it but that can’t stop her from trying. If she needs to exhaust all of her power and to use the darkest magic that could even take half of her life, she will do it just to kill Snow White who is already dead. “Simon!...” she called her brother and the guy immediately entered her room. “I want you to find Snow White…”
“She’s there…” he pointed at the corpse lying on the bed of dying roses with face wondering if what had happened to his fair sister to be this upset if Snow White is already dead.
“Dimwit! I’m not talking about her! I’m talking about the other Snow White…”
“The other Snow White?...” he’s quite shock to hear such impossible. “She has a twin sister?...”
“It’s not a twin sister my lovely brother…” she walks to approach and to walk around the guy whom she could trust the job she just thought about. “It’s her other self in the other dimension…”
“You’re asking me to look for her in where?...”
“God! You’re so dumb!...” she slapped him on the cheek but when she saw the teary looking face of her brother, she kissed him exactly where the mark of her hand had landed. “I’m sorry…” it was meant halfheartedly. “I should have not done that…”
“It’s ok…” he bowed down his head and she tipped his chin to look straight ahead once again. “What would you like me to do my sweet and ever beautiful sister?...”
“I want you to go where that other Snow White lives and I want you to make sure she’s dead…”
“But you can’t kill her, my queen…” injected by the unknown being. “You can’t touch her…”
“Oh yes…” she pretentiously swayed her gown to face the creature of her favorite mirror. “But I can kill her by accident, making it look like natural…”
“If that’s what you want my gracious sister, then I’ll do it for you…” said by her brother with matching curtsy in front of her.
“Thank you Simon…” she smiled vibrantly. “I know you will never fail me, my sweet and lovable brother…”
