Chapter 3
The wolf stopped as they arrived at a small cottage. He knocked at the door and a small man came out. The wolf said something to the man in a language which Olivia could not understand. The dwarf had let the two in. The royalty wanted to ask if there were seven of the little men, but before she could, she saw all seven at a table sorting mountains of paper.
The dwarf, that opened the door shouted: "Men, we have a problem. This young lady here knows everything. We all are in danger-" Before the man could finish his sentence, Olivia interrupted: "Are you fellas in danger because of me? You know everyone had read fairy tales at some point. It's not a miracle that I have read them. I don't know if this is a coincidence that my life is like Snow White. Being in other fairy tales wasn't my plan either. Well... to be honest, I don't have a plan and if the wolf hadn't found me I'd die because I know nothing about surviving in the woods. Thanks, wolf. And the beast wanted to give me a home. And you guys, I don't know what you want to do with me, but please know that I'm thankful for the fairy tale like miracles. I'm sorry for ruining your stories. It's all my fault. I should have played along." All in the room looked at her. Nobody knew what to say. They were speechless. The main dwarf, the little man who opened the door, was the first to say something, "We know you couldn't do anything for your actions because the reason of being in this forest is not after your will. I can see in your eyes that you didn't mean any harm. Who sent you here?" "Oh! It was a young man. He looked like a ranger, but I'm not really sure if he-" Olivia shook her head and said that it was her mother. "You do have a strange habit of interrupting people, don't you? Your mother is... The new queen! Olivia, I mean my highness, I'm so sorry for being rude. I didn't know at all. Well back to what I was saying, REVENGE!" The alpha dwarf saw Olivia's puzzled face and quickly added, "No worries, we'll be able to do it. It will be as easy as one, two, three." The rest of the 'gang', including Olivia, nodded, though Olivia was not sure what they meant with revenge.
There were more magical creatures other than the wolf and the seven dwarfs. From the very back of the room came a dozen of princesses and matching princess all talking at the same time. Then came a few barn animals and a lot of other creatures. Olivia gasped as she saw Snow White. Snow White saw Olivia's reaction and ran toward her. At first Snow White hugged the young highness and whispered, "I know how it feels when your mother betrays you. We all will help you at your revenge." Olivia was confused, but after all her step-mother has done to her...
All were discussing plans of revenge, except one. Well, two. Olivia and a young man who stood at the corner of the room. He stared at Olivia and Olivia stared back. As it started to get awkward, the boy decided to approach Olivia and said: "Sorry for staring. Didn't wanna look like creeper or stalker, ya know? But I kinda am interested in how you could lie so easily. I've tried it, but it ain't work me. Ya know who these people are? The Fairy Tale Beasts. First time I was here, I ain't know who these people were either. I thought I could trust them because they were the good character in all the fairy tales. All my role models. Except for the wolf. I ain't know what he doing here. But now knowing him in real life shows me he's not that bad at all. ...Girl, I can't say everything here. Too open. Too many beasts. I mean we are in the main spot you know? Want a walk later this afternoon? Walk equals more information. That's all ya need to know, for now, I guess. Thanks for not interrupting, your highness. Good one." He laughed at the end. Olivia looked confused but nodded eagerly to know more information. She didn't like the way he talked, but she still trusted him, because The Fairy Tale Beasts were kind of suspicious and other than them there was no one else.
