The Runaway Princess

There is a lovely princess who lived in a grand palace from a great city of Amelaia. Her name is Snowhite and 18 years old, tall with a medium build, white and smooth complexion so that there are many people admire her beauty.

Unfortunately, the graceful princess' mother died of giving birth to her, so that only young lady and her father are left. A few years later, her father remarried again to a woman with a daunting appearance. She could do nothing but acknowledge it just for her father's happiness.

During three years of their wedding, the true color of her father's wife gradually appeared. She always shrieking to their maids and to the other helpers in the palace when did a plain mistake. It hurts for the princess, she will be murdered if she will reveal about this.

Few months have passed, as the princess wandering down the corridor until she was in shock seeing her step-mother was bloody with holding a dagger. Snowhite turned to her father, who currently lying lifeless. She concealed her mouth due to what she have found out.

"You killed my father!" She howled, the reason her stepmother badly noticed the princess.

Snowhite has decided to get his father but his wife would stab her that owning a dagger. She did nothing but to run and escape to find the right place to hide.

The princess is roaming her eyes around, but she couldn't find anything a safe place. She just just to walk straight towards in the right path. Suddenly there is someone who grasped her arms, and she looks startled. Their head maid speaks.

"Sssshhhh." As the maid whispered to calm the princess down.

"Don't upset my dear, I'll help you slip away from the palace." The old woman brought her into a secret passage which hidden on a large bookshelf.

"There's an exit at that end where you can go outside of the mansion." She instructed and pointed out the dark place over there.

The young lady fearlessly followed about what did the head maid told to. All importance is to run and try to seek help for the death of her father.

Snowhite run away from her greatest home for over three hours. She gradually feels tired. Walking along until she lost her conciousness.

The princess woke up in a such unknown place. She saw creatures that seemed human, but they are only fifty-inches long to be estimated.

"Where am I?" she asked them.

"You are here in our house." The princess heard what does creature responded.

"Are you alright?" They asked worriedly in their tone. She nodded in return.

"My companion saw you unconscious, dear princess." At once, they bow to Snowhite.

"Who are you?" he asked the elves.

"We are the seven dwarfs my dear and we can be your friends if you want to." The 2nd dwarf uttered with a genuine smile.

"I think you must eat first. Your stomach is empty already." The 3rd stated who was busy of preparing their food.

After eating, Snowhite went back to her bed to take asleep.

On the other hand, Snowhite's step-mother is currently talking to one of its servant. She was searching for the missing princess in order to kill her primarily for not been able the Snowhite speak about the murdering of her husband.

"I want all of you to find the princess. You won't be able to come back here unless you bring her to me. Is that clear?" As she commanded the men with gritted teeth. They nodded and left to begin of finding the princess.

She looked into a magical mirror and laughed very loud and asked.

"Am I the most beautiful woman in all, Amelaia?" She asked again, arrogantly.

"You're beautiful, but the princess who is staying in the house of the seven dwarfs named by Snowhite is more beautiful than you." As the mirror speak that made the Evil Queen frowned and yelled.

"What did you say?" She roared the mirror.

"I'm sorry but it won't repeat anymore." The magical mirror replied, so the woman closed the room angrily.

It was almost eight o'clock in the afternoon as Snowhite was walking in a paradisiacal place with its lush green grass and wonderful, blooming flowers.

Being delighted, the princess circled around herself until she saw in the distance those men in a horseback and they are familiar to her. All she would have thought that the evil queen was looking for her.

Snowhite tried to run in, almost out of breath, and her knees were slowly numb. She was almost stumbled on the runner however she was luckily caught by a young man.

She looked up for a moment, stood up straight and said thank you to the young man. She was very thankful that someone save her life.

They reached a relatively dark basement where the men could not see and catch them.

"Thanks a lot." Princess smiled at the young man as she said.

"Nothing, young lady." He responds politely.

The princess who would introduced herself first, "I am Snowhite, anyway."

"I'm Liam and also working on a farm here in the city. How about you?" As the young man stated with an influential voice.

Snowhite couldn't help but stare at him and admire his moderate body and good stature, brown skin complexion and eyes. His nose is pointed that really made the princess attracted to this young man.

"I ran away from home so I'm currently living with my elf friends." Liam nodded.

"They're real friends. I'll introduce them to you later." The princess added as they were strolling towards the seven dwarfs' house.

"Where have you been, my dear? We've been looking for you in a few hours." The 2nd dwarf asked worriedly.

"And who is he?"The first dwarf interrogated.

"He is Liam who saved me from the bad people there." Princess lied but still in a friendly response to her friends. She doesn't want them involve for her problem.

"I still have a lot of things to do, anyway." As Liam interrupts when he suddenly evoked about his supposed to do in the farm.

"Snowhite, nice to meet you again." He added as glancing to the princess and walked away.

"Don't you ever know anyone, my dear?" The 1st dwarf reminded her so that her smile easily faded.

"You just met him once." The second to the youngest woman among dwarfs.

"He saved me, right? What's wrong with that!" Snowhite exclaimed.

"We don't really know him, my dear, so it is hard to trust anyone like that. It maybe he's an evil queen's servant and spy in order to execute her plans for you." The 4rth dwarf affirmed.

When night came, Evil Queen was feeling uneasy and disappointed in Snowhite.

"I have ordered that all of you would have to burn down the seven dwarfs' home. The princess is there. I want her to get out of my way so that all of her inheritance would be mine." The evil queen said, and she laughed in a loud voice assertively.

The servant agreed. All of them walked away to the palace to fulfill the plan.

The smell of gasoline and its smoke inside distracted Snowhite. She purposely turned around and proceed to the other part of the hut. 

Her eyes become widened because of the blazing fire into their home, so she hurriedly called the elves and awakened them up. They were devastated by what they saw.

Snowhite was thankful that they were out of the fire, but she still felt sad because her friends had lost their home.

"Don't worry for us, dear princess. It's just a house. Life is more important than that." The first dwarf said.

Snowhite's sadness is faded by what her friend said. They easily admitted that lost their home and didn't think it was the princess' faults.

Liam went to the farm early with his four brothers. That was they father's heir from his ancestor.

"I met an exquisite girl yesterday." As he told the story to his siblings.

"What's his name?" The eldest brother asked.

"Snowhite." It startled the four brothers when Liam mentioned that name. "Why?" He asked them in a curious tone.

"She is the famous princess of Amelaia who ordered to be killed by the queen." The man suddenly changed his mind after he found out the truth about the true identity of Snowhite.

"Why don't you go to the queen and should present yourself to kill the princess? You will earn more money, brother. You can divide it for us the other portion." As his older is trying to manipulate him. Finally, he agreed with what did his brother said.

"This is the right decision and a wonderful opportunity for us to stay away from this place." Liam answered definitely.

The young man went to the palace immediately afterwards. It was the time a Queen was about to leave the palace.

"Majesty, wait a minute, please?" Liam said. "Can we talk for a while? This about the princess."

The evil queen stops and remain to her position to wait for the young man will be next thing he will say.

"I met the princess last time. We're very close to each other now so I could kill her in just one snap." As the young man stated to convince the young lady's step-mother, Zoraya.

"Why? Are you his friend or girlfriend?" The queen asked as she observed Liam.

"I'm just her friend, majesty, but I have planned to make her fall in love with me so that your aim will be done." Liam said with assurance about his tactics.

"Yeah, true that everything will be easier now." As Zoraya laughed like a demon.

"I will give you permission to hit the target with 100k dollars when you're done." Liam doesn't hesitate but agrees with the queen.

"Thank you." Then he walked away from the mansion to make the plan.

It previously moved Snowhite and her elf friends to a new place near the river.

"I'll take a bath there first." She was referring to the river with overflowing water and her friends immediately nodded.

The young lady sat on the rock and suddenly someone covered her two eyes until he removed it immediately.

"Liam? What are you doing here? And how did you know I was here?" The princess said with happiness on her face to see Liam again.

"I just saw you come up to here." He stared at the princess like it seems she fall in love with him easily.

After their conversation, the young man also offered to take the girl into her home today.

"Do you live here?" As Liam asked curiously about their new home. The princess nodded and thought she was really falling in love with the guy.

When the evening comes, they already eaten dinner together. The princess was presenting herself to wash the dishes.

The next day, the princess was walking towards the river again when she met Liam.

Until it was their meeting place, and where Snowhite answered Liam's courtship for two weeks.

They kissed passionately, and it was already dark so that only the moonlight above that reflects them together. 

They hid their relationship because the young lady was not yet ready to tell about her friends.

The past few days, Liam didn't show up to Snowhite.The reason she was worried and overthinking too much things.

One day, Liam appeared to the princess again at their recent meeting place. Snowhite has noticed about his strange behavior so she can't help but feeling worried about her lover.

The young man suddenly grabbed her waist and kissed her on the lips. The girl easily responded until she did not realize that there's something had stabbed in the part of her body that turned into unconsciousness.

When the girl opened her eyes to a dark and dirty place, she felt a chair tied to it.

Momentarily, someone immediately opened the door, reflects her the light coming from within. Then her step-mother and the one whom she trusted and loved, Liam, were together.

He did not expect the man she have loved will betray her.

"Hi, my step-daughter. It's a long time no see. You thought I couldn't find you?" She gave her a grin and stared at the young man.

"How did you do this to me, Liam? What did I do to you to betray me and conspire with her?" She pointed out her step-mother on frustrated manner.

"Did you really love me or did you just use me so that she could carry out his plan to kill her step-daughter?" As the princess regret for trusting and loving someone like Liam. All she knows she will be happy after that, but she failed.

"I have loved you, Snowhite but I need the money so we can get out of complicated life with my brother." Liam is trying to explain but Snowhite never believing on him.

"You don't matter." The princess yelled.

"Don't take this longer. You must die, Snowhite so that I can have your wealth and fame, to be considered the most beautiful woman in Amelaea." The gun is already pointed to the princess.

"Please, auntie don't do this to me. Surrender yourself to the police for killing my father." Snowhite as pleaded but the evil queen ignored.

She is going to be fired by gun so closed her eyes. Unfortunately, Liam protected her away, and she saw the blood is now penetrating on her.

"Liam." She just mentioned his name with shedding tears. The young man looks pale that will lose his life at any moment.

"Please Liam, don't leave me. I am still loving you despite what you did. Please don't give up." A young lady's voice pleaded with her lover.

"I am sorry, my dear princess." As Liam said before, his life is lost.

Snowhite keeps calling his name, still nothing. She tried to calm herself and accept everything happened.

It is said that he will die. The princess is crying all over again until Zoraya is caught by the police.

She heard the gun fired again until her step-mother fell on the floor, pouring blood upon its head. The police is trying to rescue her but unfortunately she get fainted.

Six months later, Snowhite went to the place where she answered Liam as her lover and the place that full of beautiful memories of being happy together. It means she hadn't forgotten about her feelings for him. She is just buried it into her heart.

"Snowhite." She stops thinking of memories when someone calling her name. She turned around in surprise at the seven dwarfs waiting for her.

"Hey come hear my dear princess." As they said, then hugged the young lady. "You are not alone, we are not leaving you." The 5th dwarf said.

"Thank you so much for being my friend." A young lady uttered emotionally as still embracing the dwarfs in her arms.

"Let's go, Snowhite. People are waiting for us about your homecoming." The 1st dwarf said with full of excitement.

"I am the one who will lead her into the wonderful palace." As the 6th dwarf presented himself.

"Are you really sure, Yuri?" Lizzy asked the 7th dwarf.

"Come on. We are late into the homecoming of our dear princess." Guru, the 1st dwarf, interrupted who followed by Ricci, the 2nd dwarf.

"Yeah, so we're going now." The 3rd dwarf said and agreed by the 4rth, 5th, 6th and 7th. 

Guru and Ricci were the first who entered the car and just waited Snowhite and the others.

After a few minutes, they already started the car until they left the place.
