Once upon a time... in a land far far away, there lived a beautiful queen who was the fairest of them all. One day, she asked her mirror.

"Mirror mirror on the wall, whose the fairest of them all?" She said, expecting to hear the words "you, your majesty" as normal.

"Snow White is, your majesty" was the response. The Queen was immediately enraged. How could her own step daughter be fairer than her? The Queen ordered the huntsman to take snow White into the forest and kill her, and to bring back her heart as proof. The hunter couldn't bring himself to murder such an innocent young girl, so he banishes her into the forest to never return again or she will die. The hunter took back a deers heart, fooling the queen, who ate it in hopes to become there fairest of them all again. Little did she know snow White was still alive.

Snow White ran deep inside the woods, stumbling on a small cottage not before long, seeing how dirty it was, Snow White began to clean it with the help of her woodland friends. Just as she had finished she found that the cottage belonged to seven dwarfs who worked in the mines. After hearing her story they agreed to let her stay and they soon became good friends. One day whilst the dwarfs were out in the mines, snow White was cleaning the cottage, whilst cleaning the kitchen she was approached by an old women selling apples.

"My dear... take this red apple, the colour matches your lips perfectly"

Snow White took the apple, taking a bite out of it before falling to the floor and her vision going black

Y/n was awoken by the muffled sounds of birds chirping and what sounded like shocked gasps. Y/n tried to sit up but found her movements were restricted by some invisible force but she quickly realised it was glassm

"QUICK GET HER OUT SHE'S ALIVE" Someone shouted before someone hurried and removed the glass lid that was trapping her.

"I'm so sorry miss. We found a dead body in the woods and figured we should give you a proper burial" a surprisingly short man explained looking sheepishly.

"So you just found an unconscious person in the woods and thought it would be a good idea to bury her?!" Y/n shouted causing everyone to shuffled awkwardly, avoiding eye contact with her.

"Forgive me My Lady, it was my idea, I wanted to do it out of respect for you" A man said. He had pale skin, rosy cheeks and lips. His eyes were a bright red that stuck out to Y/n.

"Just where the hell am I? And who are you people?" Y/n yelled angrily. Her head was spinning and the events of last night were still fresh in her mind.

She was briefly worried about Cinderelton but quickly squashed those feelings once remembering how he got obsessive on the topic of marriage. Maybe it was best if Y/n avoided him for a while.

"Please forgive me, My name is Snow White, I am the king of this land and these are the seven dwarfs, I am forever in debt to them" the man explained, bowing to her.

"Listen buddy, I don't need your life story I just wanna go home" she said standing up, her ballgown from last night was replaced with just a simple beige tunic, making her question the validity of her memories.

"Why don't I take you into town then?" The king asked her, gesturing to a white horse Y/n somehow didn't notice beforehand.

"That would be great and all but I have no clue who I am or where I'm from" Y/n explained, rubbing her temples as if it would bring back her memories. It didn't, unsurprisingly.

"Then why don't you stay at the Palace with me, I'll make sure you're well taken care of" Snow White says, his eyes widening at her confession.

"And how do you know I'm not actually some assassin sent by one of your rivals to kill you" Y/n says dryly at his sudden trust of her.

"Trust me... no one would try and kill me" Snow White says with a slight malice behind his words.

"Fine fine, beats wandering around aimlessly in the woods" Y/n said with a sigh, going against her better judgement.

"Alright, please allow me to escort you, thank you all for your help, I'll be there to visit you again soon" Snow White says to the dwarfs before waving their goodbyes and heading deeper into the forest.

Snow White mounts his horse after helping Y/n up. Something about the whole situation seemed off to her but she wasn't really in a position to question anything.

"It will take us about two hours to get back to the Kingdom is that alright?" Snow White asked as the two set off.

"No it isn't I want to get there immediately" Y/n said sighing as Snow White looked at her in shock.

"I'm joking" she said as his face relaxed.

"Ah okay, please hold on tight then" Snow White says, ignoring the heat rising to his cheeks as he felt Y/n's arms hug his waist. He was glad Y/n couldn't see his face.

The journey into the kingdom was in complete silence, the only thing they could hear were the birds chirping and the sounds of sticks breaking under the horses feet.

It was sundown by the time the pair rode into the kingdom, it was a quaint area filled with many different stores and houses. However there was no one outside which Y/n found odd.

"Hey, Snow White, why isn't there anyone outside today?" Y/n asked.

"Oh it's the two year anniversary of my coronation so I guess you could call it a public holiday" Snow White explains to Y/n who only nods in response.

"Happy two year anniversary I guess" Y/n says as she observes the empty streets of the kingdom. Snow White made a beeline for the large Palace up ahead. There were a few knights outside the Palace who greeted Snow White eagerly but were immediately taken aback when they saw Y/n sat behind him.

"Please alert the servants to prepare a room for her" Snow White orders, getting off the horse and helping Y/n off as well. The knights seemed nervous around Snow White but Snow White didn't seem to notice or care.

"Y/n please follow me inside, I'll take you to the guest room" Snow White says before turning on his heels heading towards the large Palace, Y/n following in silence.

*

"Y/n this is your room, if you need anything please find a servant or myself" Snow White says opening the door to reveal a freshly cleaned bedroom that facilitated a large bed and a few vases of flowers.

"Thank you for taking me in on short notice" Y/n said smiling gently to the king.

"It's no problem at all it's the least I can do, now if you'll excuse me, I have some matters to attend to" Snow White says, before bowing and leaving her to her new bedroom.

"Mirror Mirror on the wall, whose the fairest of them all?" Snow White asks his Mirror which previously belonged to his step father, the previous king. At first Snow White couldn't understand his obsession with looks. But after staring into the mirror... something changed.

"It would be your new guest my king, Y/n L/n" the Mirror said, his voice echoing  throughout Snow White's room and displaying Y/n sleeping figure on the bed. Her h/c locks covering her face.

"WHAT?!" Snow White screamed, enraged that his place as the most beautiful had been taken by some peasant 

"BRING HER TO ME IMMEDIATELY" He screamed to a servant nearby who immediately scurried off to go find Y/n as Snow White began to destroy his room.

"How dare she AFTER I TOOK HER INTO MY OWN HOME" He screeched causing servants nearby to flinch. They were used to his frequent temper tantrums by now but that didn't mean they weren't scared of him.

"I have brought Y/n Sire" a servant said gesturing to the young girl who was yawning and rubbing her eyes.

"All of you apart from Y/n leave instantly" Snow White sneered, glaring at the unassuming girl who was trying her hardest to wake up from her short but deep sleep. After the servants had disappeared from Snow White's bedroom Y/n had finally woken up properly.

"Did you need something from me Snow White?" She asked, yawning, unaware of the seething mood Snow White was in.

"Yes please tell my why, after taking you in you've taken my place" Snow White asked, his voice icy and his emerald eyes glaring daggers at her.

"I'm sorry what?" Y/n said, stunned at the accusations that Snow White has begun to throw at her.

"I was the fairest of them all and then suddenly you appeared, and now you're the fairest of them all. Tell. Me. How?" He said gripping her wrist so tight that Y/n was sure it was going going leave a bruise.

"I can't even remember who I am and now suddenly you're asking for my skin care routine?! What it's wrong with you!?" Y/n shouts, as she attempts to pry Snow White's hand off of her wrists before he inevitably fractures it.

"You are to stay here till otherwise. If I've find that you've moved even a single muscle there will be severe consequences" he hisses, finally letting go of her wrist, leaving bright red marks indicating to her what just happened.

Snow White slammed the door behind him after storming out of the room leaving Y/n sighing with relief that she finally had some peace.

"What a psycho" She said, rubbing her wrist, hoping it would cause some relief.

"You're telling me" a voice says, startling Y/n.

"Whose there?" She asks the empty bedroom, looking around for any sign of life

"The Mirror on the wall" the voice says again causing Y/n to look straight ahead to an elegant mirror that was extremely out of place with the rooms decoration.

"Am I going crazy?"She muttered, walking towards the mirror, not noticing anything abnormal with it.

"No you're not unfortunately, that tyrant of a king is growing more insane by the day" the Mirror said, a faint face appearing on it..

"What do you mean by tyrant?" Y/n asks, growing more hesitant by the second.

"Why do you think you saw no one in the kingdom. He's killed them all" the Mirror said with a hint of sadness. "I fear it may be my fault" The Mirror said with regret.

"What do you mean" Y/n asked with hesitation, she should of just stayed in the forest.

"Well after defeating the previous tyrant King, his step father, my previous owner, he found me and began to explore my power. And he slowly began to decend into madness" the Mirror explains.

"And then afterwards, he began killing everyone who he believed was a threat to his power, and shortly after there was no one left in the kingdom, aside from the few servants who are to leave"

"That's horrible, I need to leave immediately don't I?" Y/n says, gasping. Her hands over her mouth.

"That would be a good idea" the Mirror says dryly.

"There's an exit in the kitchen that will take you out of here- he's coming I need to go. Don't eat anything here" the Mirror says before the faint face disappeared.

Y/n quickly scurried back to where she was standing, and heard pounding foot steps towards the door before it flew open to reveal a much calmer looking Snow White.

"Who were you talking to?" Snow White asked, his eyes narrowing in suspicion.

"Who would I be talking to there's no one here?" Y/n asked, tilting her head.

"Nevermind, must of been my imagination. Anyways I'm sorry for how I reacted and treated you earlier, I shouldn't of done that. I've just been under alot of pressure with trying trying run such a large kingdom" Snow White says, shifting awkwardly.

"It's okay... just uh a little warning next time" Y/n said awkwardly pointing to her injured wrist.

"I'll have someone to attend to it later" Snow White says sighing. "In the mean time, please take this" he said pulling a ruby red apple from behind his back.

"Ah I'm not hungry it's okay" Y/n says, recalling the mirrors warning to her, not to eat anything here. Snow White's eyes narrow in suspicion again.

"Are you sure you weren't talking to anyone whilst I was gone?" Snow White asks her again. Y/n looks around the room.

"Again there's no one here to talk to" Y/n says sighing. His suspicions were correct but that doesn't mean Y/n needed to get into trouble with him again.

"Apples are used as a sign of apology here so I'd really appreciate if you ate it." Snow White says, a hidden anger in his voice.

"I really am fine, please don't worry, the fact you've taken me in is all I can really ask for- ack-" Y/n said her sentence being cut off by Snow White grabbing her jaw.

"You will eat it this instant" he hisses in her ear. With his free hand he grabs both of Y/n's hands keeping her from fighting back before taking a bite of the apple and kissing Y/n deeply. Pushing the apple into her mouth. He kept his lips on her until he was confident that she had swallowed it.

"Tell me you were a good girl and ate the apple" he whispered in her ear, making her swallow unintentionally.

"Oh shit" she whispered before her whole body went limp.

"Good girl" he said, stroking her hair.

"Now I am the fairest of them all" he said smiling as Y/n's vision began to fade and her breath slowed until it stopped completely. Her body was held tightly by Snow White until he was sure Y/n would not take another breath.

"No one will get in my way... it was a shame though, looking at you now... all still and silent... maybe I should keep you?"
