The Incredibly True Story of Snow White, Emily Headley [books for 8th graders .TXT] 📗

This is a short story there are no chapters

My name is Snow White. I'm 14 years old and I know most of you have heard the sweet bedtime story about how nice and sweet I am, which is totally and repulsively not true.

I'm here to tell you the real story. And it all started at the beginning of last year......

It was a dark and stormy night. The rain was coming down at a biting pace. 

My mother was sick and moaning in bed. My father was absolutely distraught and had no idea where she could possibly gotten so sick out of nowhere.

He sat down on a chair next to the bed and started crying into his hands, when suddenly my mother sat up with a burning fire in her eyes. She grabbed my father's hair and yanked his neck towards her lips.

After she was done replenishing herself, she cleaned herself up and put on a black flowy dress with a deep v-neck and a stick up collar.

She came into my room silently. I didn't even notice until she was upon me. She bit my neck then made me drink her blood.

When I awoke from the grieving pain, I felt powerful, yet very very thirsty. I felt something warm and wet against my lips. It smelled delicious so I grabbed it and bit down hard. A warm sensation filled my mouth. It tasted so amazing I never wanted to let go, but eventually a pair of hands tugged and tugged, then wrenched it out of my hands.

I snarled angrily, but soon fell back asleep, no matter my discomfort.

When i woke back up, I realized I wasn't at home and it all came rushing back to me, my mother biting me and making me drink her blood, and drinking something else's blood too.

I even liked it! Can you believe that?! I liked drinking blood! That thought roared through me like a ball of fire and I shot up off the ground. I looked around to try and get my bearings and realized I was in some sort of cave.

A few minutes later my mother walked in. I walked up to her and asked frustratedly, "What the hell is going on?!"

My mother satme down on a rock and began to explain, "Last night when I went to the orphanage, something strange happened. Something very hard to explain. A new little boy had been brought there and something was very enticing about him. Almost like everyone was hypnotized by his presence.

"At first I thought it was just because he was a little boy and was so sweet and charming, but when all the children were busy playing and none of the volunteers were free, he came up to me and said he needed help going potty. A signal in my brain told me something was off, but I didn't listen.

"I took his hand and led him down the corridor to a bathrrom. Once we were locked inside he pounced. He had me pinned down with shocking strength within seconds. He bit into my neck and drank. He stopped right when I was starting to feel woozy and then bit into his wrist and held it over my mouth. I didn't want to, yet at the same time I felt a burning desire to latch on and so I did.

"I left the orphanage saying I didn't feel well and went home. Once I was there, your father could immediately tell something was wrong, so he helped me upstairs and laid me down in bed.

"It was dreadful turning. I felt like I was dying, which technically I was. Finally the haze went away and all I could feel was the power and the thirst. Sadly, your father was the closest thing to me so I killed him. 

"I was upset so I got dressed and went to go see you, because watching you sleep so peacefully always makes me smile. But once I was in your room, I realized I would have to leave, to protect the village. And I just couldn't bare the thought of being without you, because I mean you're my daughter! I'm so sorry, Snow White. It was absolutely the most selfish thing I could have done," she said while bawling her eyes out.

I was shell-shocked. My mother jus admitted to taking away one of the most important decisions of my life. She turned me into a blood sucking killing machine without even giving me a choice about it. I mean, she's my mother right? She's supposed to be the one to make the right choices for me and keep me safe, not ruin my life forever!

Anger overwhelmed me. It was so strong I couldn't hold it in for even a minute. I stood up and slapped my mother across the face as hard as I could. Luckily she was so upset she didn't expect it, therefore, didn't try and stop me.

I ran from the cave as fast as my legs would carry me and soon came across a small nook in a tree where I could sleep away the sunlight hours.

When I awoke at sunset I felt a horrible thirst. I knew it was probably because I was newly turned that I was thristy so often, but that didn't help my case. I decided it was time I get out of this small space and figure where it is I actually plan on going.

After I had been walking for some hours I was starting to feel ravenous. I was so thirsty that as soon as I saw movement behind a bush, I pounced. Once I knew the animal was dead and I was full, I realized what it was. It was just a baby deer.

I looked into it's lifeless eyes and began to cry. I couldn't believe I had killed something so pure and innocent so easily. Once my crying had subsided a little I leaned up agianst a tree and closed my eyes.

That's when I heard a twig snap. I was standing in the blink of an eye. "Who's there?" I called. A rock flew a bush and hit me in the head. "Really? Just come out, you know a rock isn't going to hurt me if you saw what I just did," i said sarcastically.

Seven short, brawny men came out from behind the bush with various handmade weapons. "I am Galur, craftsmanship guardian, and my fellow men here are all Guardians of the Forest along with me," said one of the men wit a long dark hair and a beard.

"I am Snow White," I told them. "We noticed you kill that innocent animal, but we also realized that you were upset about it before we tried to kill you," Galur said. "Yes, I do not wish to be the beast I am, I only wish to be human once more," I replied. "Then we shall help you regain your humanity, Snow White, for we never wish to see an animal die so horribly again," Galur said to me, "follow us and we shall take you to our camp."

After we had been walkiing for quite some time, we came across a HUGE willow tree. The leaves drooped down to almost our ankles. Galur moved them aside and exposed the inside for me to see. It was a cozy camp completely hidden from the world. With all the noise naturally in the forest no one would ever hear the dwarves working away under the cover of the tree. "It's brilliant," I said as I stepped inside.

They gave me their only bear skin to sleep on. "You're much bigger than us so you'll need it more," Galur had said. I was about to tell him that because i was a vampire, i didn't need it, but then I decided I could use it to cover me up a little bit more from the sun.

As I was getting ready to go to bed, I realized how grateful i should be for those men to let me, a dangerous creature, into their home. Me and Galur locked eyes and I mouthed, Thank You. He gave me a curt nod in return.

I awoke to someone shaking me. it was galur and he was trying to tell me something, but it was still daylight so I was too groggy to answer. I fell back asleep and awoke again when the sun had set. I realized the dwarves had gone out hunting and that was most likely what Galur had tried to tell me.

I heard someone calling for me and it didn't even register as a warning sign that it was a woman. I moved aside the foliage and saw a small, old woman sitting on a log. 

When she looked up she noticed me and smiled, "Snow White, I'm Galur's mother and I couldn't wait until you woke up."

I went over and sat down beside her, surprised that Galur's mother was still alive and well. I noticed somethings beside her foot and felt oddly curious. "What's that?" I asked. "Oh, well I thought you would probably be hungry when you woke up so I went out and fetched you a snack," she replied pulling a jack-rabbit out from behind her feet.

My mouth watered. I grabbed the rabbit from her hands and bit into it. It was absolutely delicious. It made me feel so happy and warm inside, but I felt like the taste was tainted with something. Apples???

I began to choke. I fell to the ground staring up in horror at the woman who was now taking off a wig and wiping away make-up. I soon realized she was a girl from my village and was wearing my father's seal, which means my father had not died like my mother and I thought. And he had sent this girl to kill us! I began to black out as I watched the girl leave with a smug look on her face.

A few hours later the dwarves returned home to find me lying on the ground. They couldn't believe how a charming girl like me could be taken out of their lives so soon.

Galur and his men decided it was only right to build her a coffin and give her a proper burial, so they began to work. They made the most beautiful coffin out of all the different kinds of wood. They laid flowers around her body and made a wreath for her hair.

As the end of their memorial service drew near and all of them gave a silent moment of respect, they heard a horse coming down the path through the forest. As it was passing the man riding took one look at me and quickly stopped his horse amazed by my beauty. He got off in a hurry and came over to where her coffin lay. He seemed so sad to see her there and so he gently leaned down to kiss her lips.

As he was getting ready to mount his horse, they all heard a soft moan. Everyone looked up to see my eyes flutter open. The man quickly rushed over to me and helped me get up and out of the coffin.

"So you seem to have a thing going for necrophilia?" I asked him with a smile. He let out a good chuckle and gave me a breathtaking kiss on the mouth.

Galur looked from me to the man next to me and a slow smile spread across his lips. "My dear Snow White, your curse has broken! His true love's kiss has cured you! You are now human!" he proclaimed.

Everyone became so excited we all shared a group hug while laughing.

So even though that other story wasn't true, doesn't mean I didn't get my happy ending. In the
