Hansel and Gretel (In the witches point of view)
Born 2007, F, from Portland, Oregon, United StatesOnce upon a time, there were two lovely children, Hansel and Gretel... at least, that was what almost everyone thought. I knew that those kids were nothing but trouble. They even framed me and got me arrested!!
Anyway, one day the kids went up to my house and started gnawing on it! How rude is that?! Well, I was hungry too, so I decided that these rude children, would be my meal. I smacked my lips and opened the door, “Children, Come in, I have more food!” I cried out in the sweetest voice anyone could imagine. The children froze, then broke out in a toothy grin. “Great! We’re so hungry!” and they stormed into my neat little kitchen, grabbing at all the snacks they could see. I could hardly control my anger, those snacks were not meant for them, but the anger had to wait, until my next plan.
“Here,” I motioned towards two plump, soft beds, one pink, one blue, as if the beds were made perfectly for them (perfectly to trap them). But, the children didn’t notice, they just jumped on the beds and fell fast asleep. I muttered a few words, and at last, the children were mine, all mine…
When Hansel and Gretel woke up, they found themselves trapped, in a bed. Strange...Gretel thought, she tore off the blanket to find out that they were strapped into the bed? Both siblings cried for help and I came right away. I happily saw that my spell worked. But instead I said, “Oh no! Let me help!” I snapped my fingers and the children had momentarily relief, only to be stuffed in a cage.
“Let me out!” Gretel exclaimed,
“Fine!” I said, bored. She snapped her fingers again and the door swung open.
“Yes!” Gretel cried not believing her luck. But, Hansel was not having as much. He was still stuck in the rotten, metal cage. “Hello? Who’s coming to save me?” He said in a scrawl.
I cackled, “No one! Now, little girl, go cook dinner for your skinny, bony brother”
“No!” Gretel yelled up my nose, “I’m not doing anything you tell me!!” See? Rude…
“And I’m not skinny or bony, I’m so good looking and handsome, that’s probably why I’m named Hansel…”
That went on for awhile, I ignored him. I turned to face Gretel and my eyes narrowed, “If you don’t do it, I’ll make you!!!!” I held up my hands as if I were to cast another spell.
Gretel’s eyes grew bigger, “Ug, ok, ok, geez.” She scurried off to the kitchen. I sighed, now I had to take care of that whiny boy.
“Now stick out your finger.” I instructed. Hansel, though he was smart, he found a bone, and stuck that out instead. I, of course noticed, but, I was too exhausted to argue.
“We’ll settle this tomorrow.” I said sleepily.
The next day I asked Hansel to stick his finger out again, and Hansel did the same. I got mad, “I’m going to eat you anyway!”
I told Gretel to prepare the oven, then asked if the oven was hot enough.
“I’m no expert,” Gretel trickily explained, “Maybe you should help.”
I was very smart, and I wasn’t going to fall for it.
“No!” I yelled. I tried to stuff both children into the oven, but they ran away and went into the room labeled, 'Valuables, and Jewels'. They stole all the things inside and escaped out the back door.
I was enraged, but that’s not all...Five minutes after the children’s escape, I was arrested. That’s how I ended up in jail.
Sadly, THE END
