Retellings Of Sleeping Beauty 소설 & 이야기

Her fur was pure white, but she had blue spirals all over her body and she was breathtaking. Then, I heard her voice in my head: "Now you see the real me.” I tried to ask her about the link with her fur and this dream, but I couldn't. "Edmond, I am not the real Belle; I am Diane, her she-wolf.” I nodded to her for her to continue.

The oldest of them cooed. I had no replies but didn't bother trying for one. I was too busy fighting back my tears and holding back the retching in my throat. But what, supper night? That was the icing on Roland's illusion of a perfect mate-bond. Every once in a while, he'd invite all the she-wolves of our kingdom, and we'll sit so passionately and go on and on, telling imaginary tales of a love story we never had. I still find it quite unbelievable that they bought our lies for every penny. It was worth it. I felt the retching grow stronger and I immediately sprang to my feet.

I asked out of nowhere and the two went to look at it curiously. "Sleeping Beauty. Or... Snow White... No, the name is Snow White already. Not Cinderella, of course. It's Sleeping Beauty. Final answer." Francis answered and we just looked at him with our unimpressed faces. "We have no idea. Why don't you call her?" Eve uttered and I'm just so proud of this girl's intellect. "Okay... It's ringing." I let out as I have put it on a loudspeaker and we waited for the person to pick it up.

In my version, we’re stripping away the fluff and diving straight into a P**n Without Plot (PWP) experience. I’ve reimagined the traditional seven dwarfs into seven handsome, towering Titans. Yes, you read that right—seven massive, gorgeous giants ready to worship and overwhelm our Snow White at the same time! I truly hope my imagination sets your pulse racing and leaves you breathless. And if you’re still craving more spice after this, I have a very "saucy" manuscript about a Little Mermaid waiting in the depths. Just let me know if you want to see how she handles the heat!

“Miss, it’s time for dinner.” “Hmmm… I’m not hungry, thank you,” Alina replied. She had eaten a lot earlier and wasn’t ready for more food. “Okay, Miss,” the maid said, bowing slightly before walking away. Alina wanted to tell her not to bow. She wasn’t used to it; it was something she had only ever seen in TV dramas where maids bowed to princesses. Thinking about princesses reminded her of Sleeping Beauty, the princess who slept for years until true love woke her up. What if fate twisted things, and the only way for her to live longer was through true love?

Leah also gave a look of disapproval. "Callie, I agree with them. I just wasted my time." I got up when I remembered that I was on my way to the garden. "What? Those stories are pretty lame, to begin with." "Not when nana tells them." The kids retorted. Nana arrived soon to tell a different version of the first werewolf that happened in Egypt where people considered shapeshifting a gift and not a curse. I grew up listening to nana's stories, about demon kings and dragon queens and all things fantasy. My all-time favorite was the story of my mother, except for the part where she dies.

Maybe all of it, I don’t know. I lie on the bed and, even though it’s early afternoon, I fall asleep. My mom played in the wildflower field with the younger version of me. Nothing changes there. Then the rogues approached. “Run,” I screamed at them. But they don’t hear me. Only this time, when the sky turns black and the rogues approach, there are five of them. Foster and Sirus are with them. This time, when young Maria runs off, I stay where I am and watch. I watch as the rogues overpower her and bite into her fur. I watch as they snicker over her as she takes her final breath. I watch as the light in her eyes fades.

" I recite the story my mother told me thousands of times. "Did they live happily ever after?" Her question is hopeful. "No," I turn away from her. “The King grew restless in his quest for power and demanded the Queen give him a son. No matter how hard she tried, each pregnancy ended the same way with a stillborn child. The King grew restless for an heir and sought out other women to give him children. The constant betrayal of the mate bond made the Queen weak.

He thoughtfully sized me up for a moment, and instead of replying, he asked, “Do you know the story of Sleeping Beauty?” Sleeping Beauty? I frowned when I heard him ask that. What did he mean by asking me if I knew that story? Without waiting for my answer, Brett said to himself, “The story of Sleeping Beauty... The Princess was cursed to fall into sleep, and finally, she met her beloved, who woke her up with a kiss and broke the curse.” “It’s a fairy tale that even children know,” I told him, fighting myself not to roll my eyes at him. “What do you know about it?” he asked.

Pouting, I could tell she was close to crying, “Just read it to me, mama.” I took the book from her, it was titled Sleeping Beauty, and then I started reading, “Once upon a time, in a far-off kingdom, a beautiful princess named Aurora (also known as Briar Rose) was placed under a sleeping curse by a wicked fairy named Maleficent. The curse was meant to punish the king and queen for not inviting Maleficent to the princess's christening.” I paused and then continued.
