Short Story For Creative Writing Unit
The sad story of the queen of Rhamwambina
Or as you all know
The Evil Step Mother out of
Snow White
By Tamara



You all know the story of little wonderful snow white, how her mother died when she was young and how her father got married to me, the evil lady. And now I am the queen. And how I ordered for my huntsman to go after her, and bring me her heart. So he went to her, and told her about it, and brought me a pig’s heart. So she ran off into the forest, spent some time at the little dwarf’s home, and I tried to poison her. She supposedly fell into a deep sleep, and found her prince of her dreams…right?
WRONG!
You’d never believe me if I just corrected that version, id better just tell you the whole story. And this is how it REALLY happened.
Well...Before I married Egbert, I was the beautiful, gracious Princess of Rhamwambina! How could anyone ever turn me down? …Maybe it was the name…I don’t know exactly, but Egbert was the only man who would marry me. A beautiful twenty five year old like myself! He had a five year old daughter, she was adorable, I loved her as soon as I met her! Which was the day of our wedding…
She was the most beautiful girl growing up, we both loved her with all our hearts…But around her thirteenth birthday…he died. He got into a hunting accident, I was torn in part. I stopped eating and cried all the time. My one and only love had died…
It wasn’t my fault that Snow White didn’t even care that her father died! I often asked her why, but she didn’t even seem to answer me, she just shrugged and walked away!
She soon became an adolescent, often yelling and screaming at me, god knows why…
We disputed a lot, but I still loved her. And I cared about her beauty, I did want her to get a great husband one day….or wife...If that is what she wanted…. But I didn’t think that she could get one by the way she looked…
So one day I came up to a castle sale, and it had a mirror, a talking mirror. It would tell you any answer you wanted. So, I bought it, and brought it home. That night I asked “Mirror mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest one of all?”
“You my queen.” It replied. I got furious at it; how could it be me? It had to be Snow White! Not me! That stupid mirror knew nothing! Snow white had to be the fairest…she had to be…
I asked every day. “Mirror mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest one of all?” I asked for two weeks. Every day, it said “You my queen.”
But that wasn’t enough for me. It had to tell me Snow White! I gave up on the mirror after a few more weeks, it wasn’t going to say Snow white...it was just going to compliment me every time.

A few years later, around Snowie’s sixteenth birthday, I found the mirror again, it had dust and spider webs covering it, but it still was ok. I tried it out one last time, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the fairest one of all?” I asked, knowing exactly what it was going to say.
“Snow white.” It replied. I was shocked, all the time I had been taking it for granted that I was the most beautiful woman around, but, now it was my step daughter, at first I was horrified and shocked. ‘Her? The fairest? HA!’ I thought, forgetting about my original plan. I was furious at her for a few days, how could she take that from me? I was the fairest was I not?
But three days after I asked once again, I remembered why I had bought that mirror, to show that she was, in fact, the most beautiful woman around. I was glad as can be, so I called my huntsman into my chamber and told him about a trip I wanted him to take snow white on…But hes not so bright..so he heard “Kill..Snow…White…” and ignored all the rest. Originally I had said “Huntsman! I am so overjoyed for Snow White! Do you mind taking her with you when you go kill your weekly kill?”
But..he took it the wrong way, and just nodded, leaving me somewhat confused, I thought he was going to take her to the cottage that he stays at while he’s hunting. It’s a great place to relax.
But..when he returned..he came to me in tears and gave me a deer heart in some box..It was disgusting! Why would anyone want a deer heart?!
I guess he thought it would win me over or something…
So now Snow White had ran off into the forest and was staying with some little old men. That scared me! By the time I had heard of it, I was creeped out beyond belief. It had gotten twisted and turned every which way from people saying “She’s staying with them and shes getting pimped out.” to “She’s their new maid.” Or “The queen made her go, because she hates her, and wants to see her suffer!”
Why would I want to do that?! I screamed at my mirror to show me snow white..and there she was..sure enough…in a house with a bunch of little old men. So I thought up the plan to dress up like a old lady, to win over the little mans’ hearts. So I got a basket full of apples and dressed up in a wig and put on a carriage load of makeup! TA DA! I looked old! Only thing is..I didn’t know how I would get them to let me in…So I just left anyways id figure that out on the way.
I knocked on their door, noticing Snowie inside cleaning and singing with birds and stuff, she had always attracted little animals well. =2 0She stopped cleaning and opened the door; I was out of breath from walking all the way here. “hello, can I have a glass of water?” I asked, out of breath.
“Sure ma’am” she said politely, the manners I taught her.
“Thank you” I gulped down the water faster than I could say it. She stared at my apples that I had, I get a bit hungry, and I asked her “do you want one?”
“I really shouldn’t…” She mumbled, but I knew she wanted one.
“Oh dear, you should have one.” I replied, picking one up and showing it to her.
“I guess a bite won’t hurt…” She muttered, taking it and taking a bite of it.
As soon as she took a bite, she fell to the floor. I was freaking out when a bunch of animals started crowding around the house “What happened?!!?” I screamed, staring at the apples, it must have been food poisoning or something. </ div>
I ran out of there as fast as I could, I was at the scene of the crime, I would have been blamed for it all! ...even though I was…
I ran home and sat down, covering my face “What had I done?” I said, crying in my hands. One of my huntsman came over to me and asked what’s wrong. I told him what had happened, and I guess he blabbed it all over, because a few days later, what do you know, the little old man called “Dopey” showed up at my door whining about ‘how could you have doneeee thisss?’ and ‘the animals are saddd’. I kicked him out and sighed, It was going to get everywhere that I had killed her, so I went to visit where it had happened..and she was in a glass casket, “what the-?” I asked shocked.
“We want to keep her fresh…” they said dumbly.
I went and found a prince who might be able to get the little guys to let her get a proper burial. And he agreed to come with. He went and opened the casket,20staring at her, I guess she smelt good or something..because he kissed her. He kissed a dead person..well…we thought she was dead…She woke up as soon as he did so! I guess we will never know what happened..maybe she was choking and he got the apple piece out with his tongue or something. But…they ended up together..so I guess it was a good thing, they’re cute together.
They all glared at me, and the old men, or I guess their dwarfs, and animals ran me off a cliff…and here I am…hanging on this branch out of the cliff…
Do you see now? It’s not my fault. It was all just because I wanted best for her…and she turned it all back on me…


The end?
