Since my villain is lov-ER-ly evil, I decided to write that chapter before you got to know her. Enjoy.
Chapter 4:
‘’Life has crept on me,’’ the old
queen realized as she looked into her fading face. The war against wrinkles had
not been won, and her skin had started to sag. Pitifully she lifted what was
once her cheek.
She
heard the walk of the king. Strength and proud thoughts fell with every step he
took.
‘’I
can’t let him see me like this,’’ the queen muttered to herself. She walked
into the old closet, with the thatched door. She plunged her face into the wide
pot. ‘’There we go,’’ the queen said, approving of her now-lovely face. The
years of old age were taken off her face, and her eyes burned as brightly as if
she was still just a child.
She
smiled at herself, and to her satisfaction, no wrinkles appeared. ‘’Lovely,’’
she said to herself. ‘’How do you keep so young?’’ She giggled as if she was a
child, and joined the waiting king outside.
The
king took note of how is lovely wife never seemed to age. Soon he would leave
her far behind in the game of oldness.
Doesn't that just want to make you wail? Maybe it's because I'm the author, but it made me!
Cheerio!
