Hansel and Greta
Hansel and Greta: The story you are about to read is a recalling of events that have actually occurred. If you don’t like horror stories filled with witches and murder, then you should definitely pick up another book. We have decided to tell our story from both points of view because, as you may have already heard, for most of the time, we were separated. Now you may have heard stories about an evil stepmother being included in our story. We can tell you now, that is just not the case. Stories about evil stepmothers have been spread around lately by our good old friend Cinderella, just so that she can feel good about herself.
Hansel: Hans here. I should warn you, do not believe whatever my sister, Greta is about to tell you. Normal girls around her age are expected to be obedient, truthful and polite…she is none of those things. Greta is a devious, manipulative liar. I mean, She even fooled the witch. She will probably try to put the blame on me when it was really all her fault we got caught up in all the witchy drama in the first place. If she hadn’t…never mind, I’ll tell you that story another time. Anyway, Dad found out about what Greta had been doing to others. He was on a low wage and had trouble paying the others back. He finally had enough.
One minute we were chewing on some lovely warm bread and the next, Greta and I found ourselves waking up in the middle of the forest. Dad had drugged both of us. We had grown up with stories about the forest, none of which ended happily. There were tales told of Vampires, Witches, Goblins and Werewolves. The trees in the forest were agreed to be untrustworthy as many townspeople told stories of how some liked to strangle people but others would lower a branch and offer you food.
‘Hans, I’m scared’ Greta sobbed.
As much as I disliked my sister at that moment, I could not stand to see her cry. I sat next to her and comforted her.
A while later, we both felt hungry and knew that it would soon be
