Snow White Blood Red (5 page)

I made sure I placed the mirror coins upon his eyes so everyone will know that I was here when Jacob died. This was my trademark. The mirror coins were exclusively mine. I made them from the shards of shattered mirror glass that I broke myself after it witness death. A mirror that witnesses death is as dear to me as a poisoned apple that steals the breath.

After I turned around to leave the cottage, I stopped for a moment as I saw something. There were seven items on a round table beside the door: A fork, a plate, a cup, gingerbread, a chair, a knife, and some magical beans.

Each item belonged to one of the Lost Seven.

“Ha. You believed in this stuff until your last breath, Jacob,” I sighed, fiddling with the items. “You still believe they weren’t dwarves, and you were right. But if you’re so proud of having found three of them, I didn’t tell you that I found them all. The Lost Seven. I found them scattered across the universe and the Dreamworld, most of them not knowing who they are. I will capture them and make them remember. And when I do,” I said as opened a small box with a dead heart in it. “This heart’s soul will weigh exactly 21 grams. And this heart will be mine.” I closed the box and tucked in.

As I bent over to poof the only candle in the cottage and put it to sleep, I saw a pair of boots showing from under the curtains. I smirked for I knew who it was. I couldn’t figure out how she found her way into the Dreamworld – she must have had another Dreamhunter help her. I preferred to let the intruder not know that I saw him. I was happy she heard the story to know what I am capable of.

The intruder’s name was a seventeen-year-old girl named Alice, and she was like you. Even though you read this entry in my diary, you still have so many questions unanswered. You still have a long journey ahead, many diaries to read. In fact, you’re just on the threshold of epic tale. And there will come a certain page in the diaries when you will have to choose sides.

I pursed my heart-shaped lips and let the scent of my breath kill the candlelight. As the darkness came down slowly upon the room, I pulled out my copper hand-mirror and gazed at my beauty. Yes. I gazed at myself in the dark for this was the only way I could see my beauty. But soon, I was to change this and be able to see my reflection in daylight once again.

“Mirror mirror in my hand,” I hissed in the dark. “Who is fairest in the Dreamland?” I said as the mirror started reflected my beautiful face, glinting with hue of shiny gold. I smiled in the dark for this was enough of an answer from my hand mirror. Looking closer, I noticed that my skin went a little paler underneath the eyes. Just a little. “All right,” I mumbled. “Time for some blood, milk, and chocolate to fix that.”

I tucked the mirror in, pulled my chin up, and opened the door of the cottage, heading out to the snowy night. A shriek curled my lips into a bitter smile, for what I saw, I didn’t expect. Not tonight.

As I stepped outside, snow fell upon me, splashing onto my face and my cheeks, tasting of cherry, apples, and every other red fruit or vegetable. This snow wasn’t white. It was red snow, and I knew what it meant.

I knew it was trick. Her trick. Soon, the red falling snow will taste of blood.
