She woke up, confused, covered in crusted, caked blood. Staring
down at her long, elegent green gown she realized that it was caked in blood as
well. Her heart started racing, that’s when she saw the knife in her hand, red
and dripping, she dropped it in fear. Getting up slowly from the floor she
looked around to see where all this blood came from, what did she do? Did she
kill someone?

Her reflection caught her in the kitchen window, and her
eyes stared in wonder. Staring back at her was her sisters beautiful face,
Serpentina placed her hands on the smooth white skin and gasped. She looked
down and saw a rip in her dress, a giant scar slashed across her chest.
“Oh Desmerelda,” Serpentina whispered, “O what have you
done?”
Alone and lost in confusion Serpentina fell to the floor and
burst into a fit of tears. Sobbing uncontrollably
for a good half an hour, Serpentina got up once again and took a deep breath,
gathering herself she proceeded to clean herself of her sisters blood.
As she washed herself off she realized the extent of how
alone she truly was, her parents never really loved her, but were no longer
around either and now she lost the only friend she ever had, the only person
she ever loved, her dear sister. What was she to do now?
Anger grew inside of her, Sir Donovan caused this, they were
perfectly fine before he came along. She wished he would never come back, she
wished that Charmings men would find him and sentence him and send him away forever,
he killed her sister as far as she was concerned. It was his fault.
Although deep down she knew this was not true, Serpentina
had to blame someone. She had to be angry at someone, and Donovan was the only
one, the one that caused too much pain.
Serpentina had no idea what to do now, she had never been so
free before, she was always trapped inside of her sisters body, now she
controlled it too. Suddenly she realized she had a lot of decisions to make. Would
she continue with her sisters quest? Finding true love?
How could she do this? She did not believe in love, love
caused her too much pain, when you let someone into your heart, when you give
them all of you, you give them power. You give them the power to destroy you. That
is what happened to her sister, she gave Donovan the power of her heart, and it
destroyed her.
How could she complete this quest when she didn't believe in
it? What was worse, everyday, for the rest of Serpentinas life, she would have
to gaze at her sisters beautiful face in the mirror, and be reminded of the
love she had lost, the love she couldn't save.
As Serpentina put on a fresh dress she heard a scream coming
from downstairs….
