Mirror Mirror

Mirror Mirror on the wall, whos the farest of them all? Snow white of course! But, the queen had other plans for snow white. After snows father was lost at war the queen took over the kingdom, she had her own views on how a kingdom should be ran, and it was a dreary view at that. She kept snow white locked away in her room never to be able to leave the castle, and she taxed the people till there was nothing left but poverty and dispare. There was hope on the horizon though. One day snow white sneaked out of the castle to go see the town and what had become of the people, on her way to the town she came upon 2 men hanging from a tree, these men were unbeknown to snow the prince and his guard who fell prey to the bandits of the woods. Snow cut them down at their request and soon was on her way to see the towns people. The prince ended up at the castle where he was greeted by the queen, a queen desperate for a husband. The queen ordered a ball to be set for that evening in the princes honor in hopes to gain his love and to trap him into marrying her. But at the party the prince caught eye of snow white and immediately fell in love with her, as they danced the queen noticed that the prince was spending a bit to much time with snow, this infuriated the queen and that evening she ordered that snow be put to death. She was taken out to the dark forest to where she was to be fed to the beast, but the guard had mercy on her and cut her loose. As she was running she hit her head on a tree and was knocked unconcious, when she awoke she found herself sourrounded by the 7 drarfs, but these werent ordinary drarfs, these were bandits. They soon warmed up to snow white and decided to let her live with them, but if she was to be with them, she had to become like them, so, they tought her the tools of the trade, but under stricked instructions that all the plunder go to the poor townspeople. Word soon got back to the queen that snow white was still alive and leading a band of renagades, this put the queen into high gear to get rid of snow white, so she consulted the mirror and requested magic, one for the death of snow white and one for a love potion to make the prince fall in love with her. These wishes were to be granted, but was to come at a price. The prince soon fell under her spell, but it was a puppy love spell, so he thought he was a dog and that the queen was his master. He had an undying love for her and wanted nothing more than to marry the queen. When snow white found out about the wedding she was crushed, it seemed as though her true love was to be taken away by another. So she and her band of misfit drarfs decided to crash the wedding and steal the prince. Taking the prince back to their camp they soon figured out that he was under some kind of spell. They tried everything they knew to do to break the spell, but finally came to the conclusion that maybe true loves kiss would be the victor. Snow white agreed and was soon to capture her very first kiss. She was hesitant but soon forced herself on a very unwilling prince, but once thier lips touched the spell was broken and the prince professed his love for snow white. But all wasnt well, the queen was on her way to the forest to unleash her magic upon snow white, and to taste death one more time. Snow took it upon herself to slay the beast so she locked the prince and the drarfs in the house, she said that she had always read stories to where the prince always rescues the princess, but this time she was going to rescue herself. So, she heads out into the night to face the beast. Snow soon runs into the queen and confronts her as to why she is there, the queen soon summoned the beast, and with the beast by her side the queen voiced her disdane for snow white, and how glorious it is going to be to watch her die. Snow takes off into the night and the beast is soon after her. Meanwhile the prince and the drarfs break themselves out of the house and chase after snow white. The prince soon runs into snow white and they form an alliance to fight against the beast, but the beast seems to be to powerful for any of them to handle. The beast soon has the prince pined up against a tree, has the drarfs bewildered and is hovering over snow white about to strike. But there is something confusing in the beasts eyes as he stares at snow white, why isnt he striking at her, why isnt he devouring her? A necklace falls forward from around the beasts neck, snow white catches a glimps of it and recognizes the medallion on the chain. Snow was holding a dagger in her hand and instead of plunging it into the beasts heart, she merely cuts off the chain from around its neck, as soon as she does this flashes of light form and a could swirls about, soon her father which she thought was lost years ago was standing right in front of her. The spell had been broken and the family was once again back together, as soon as that spell was broken a curse was bestowed upon the queen, the mirror told her that there was a price to be paid, and as soon as those words exited the mirrors mouth the queen immediately aged and became a wrinkled old woman. The king was so grateful that he granted the victors anything that they wished for. The only thing the prince wanted was to be with snow white the rest of his life, the king granted his wish and they were to be wed. At the wedding people were giving the couple their gifts, and old lady gave snow white an apple as a humble gift and only requested that she take a bite, as snow white was about to take a bite she looked into the eyes of the old lady, paused then sliced a piece off, gave it to the old lady and said, "age before beauty", the old lady slowly grabbed the piece of the apple, then snow white smiled and said, "you should know five minutes before that you have been beaten". The queen knew that she had lost and that snow white and the prince woould live happily ever after.
