Chapter 1
“Come here child, let me tell you a story.
It is not a simple bed-time fairy tale, though I daresay. It is history, and when I say history, I do not mean those old goofs writing down whatever fables told by the winners. This, my dear, is a truth passed down, and you must pass it down, too.
Long long ago, there was a kingdom. The people were happy there, they had a wise ruler. But Alas! For the king himself wasn’t blessed! His companion, the Queen, was obsessed with beauty.
You may think it is not something to worry over, but her obsession resulted three newborn children’s death, for they weren’t beautiful enough. Soon, the king became worried for a heir, and pleaded to the queen to stop her madness. And soon, the queen gave birth to a beautiful little daughter, with her snow-like pale skin, hair as black as ebony, rose-colored lips and eyes as dark as the darkness, she was like a night flower. The king was overjoyed. But little did he know the price, for the maniac queen made a deal with the devil to give birth to a child as beautiful and everlasting as a goddess. And every deal with devil carried the curse.
The child became the bearer of the curse. To live and keep being beautiful, she had to drink human’s blood. With inhumane beauty, the poor girl became inhumane as well.
Snow White, the first vampire.
the queen, blinded by her daughter’s beauty, kept doing whatever she could to preserve her beauty. And her men started hunting the citizens to quench the blood thirst of the child. The king, unable to neither stop nor tolerate, called forth a wise wizard. The wizard hid herself and started her research. She used her magic mirror of truth for assistance. But soon the queen found out the king’s plans. Outraged, she stabbed him, ending in his death. The wizard stepped up and used her spell. The queen was petrified, and Snow White, realizing the situation’s graveness, ran away to the dark forest behind the castle.
the wizard reluctantly took over the role as the ruler. But she continued her search for Snow White in secret. She sent hunters after hunters, but they all went missing, for the dark forest was a place which is impossible to come back from. But the mirror of truth showed her where Snow White hid, deep inside the forest, in the hut of seven weak and naïve dwarves. Drunk on her beauty and soft words, they provided her shelter, and unknowingly, provided her food. Every night, Snow white would feast on their blood and slowly steal away their life force. But since there were seven of them, she was able to make her sin go unnoticed.
Soon, the magician found a way. She took blood from the petrified queen, the contractor of the curse. She went through great lengths to find the demon who forged the curse, and retrieved a drop of his blood. Then she performed ancient magic and fused them to a poison. She then poisoned an apple, and went to find Snow white, taking the disguise of an old hag.
As she had the help of magic, she was able to survive the forest. Soon she reached the cottage of the seven dwarves. She found the young girl and offered her the apple. Though she may be an immortal, Snow White was nothing more than a sheltered princess just a few months ago. Her sense of danger was not yet honed enough. So she did not question further and took the apple.
One bite, and she collapsed.
