Not Exactly Your Happy Story: "Hansel" (A Tale Dark & Grimm)

The Journey begins

Late at night Gretel and I were in our beds unable to sleep due to what we just heard. We heard what our father did to us, and let’s just say it isn’t exactly what any kid wants to hear. There were many things Gretel and I didn’t know about our parents, so when we heard this we were truly horrified. If you want to know what he did well then I’ll tell you. Our own father cut off our heads to save a servant! Scary? Yes, very scary indeed. No child ever wants to hear that their father killed them, let alone that their mother was happy they did so you can imagine how mortified and scared we were. Sure, we’re alive now, but what if they kill us again? I was starting to panic, and my body filled with worry. However, I didn’t want to show Gretel my fear, so I kept my emotions inside. After processing all this new terrifying information, Gretel spoke “I think we should run away, in case they want to do it again.” “That’s just what I was thinking” I replied. “Just what I was thinking..” I muttered to myself. We left the kingdom, and started our new journey. Who knows what might happened to us? Only time will tell. 

The Baker Woman

It was dark and cold when Gretel and I were happened to walk on a trail trying to find new parents to live with, but then suddenly we became hungry. It so happened to be our luck when we encountered a house that smelled delicious. “Let’s eat it!” I declared. As we were about to eat the house that smelled delicious might I add, a woman popped out of the door. It in fact startled me, and Gretel. “Who’s eating my house?” the woman said. “No one” we both replied, and then Gretel swallowed the fudge chocolate cake that was in her mouth. “You must be lost, to be in the middle of the swamp all by yourselves! Are you hungry?” the woman asked. We both nodded, because we were indeed hungry. She then cooked us a meal, and put us to bed. The woman seemed like a great parent to me, she cooked, cleaned, and let us do whatever we want! But then all of sudden things were starting to get strange. Later that day, Gretel was asked to clean out a large mysterious cage and of coarse she did as asked. But I felt worry as Gretel took a long time, I mean honestly how long does it take to clean a cage? As I was sitting with worry, the baker woman grabbed me, and went downstairs to stuff me in her oven. She also said some things to me but I wasn’t exactly paying attention due to the fact she stuffed me in her hot oven! Let’s just say that this was a place nobody would ever dream of being in.

The Seven Swallows

After we survived that whole fiasco, Gretel and I decided to find other parents that were not psychotic, or wanted to eat their own children per say. So we continued our journey, I mean what was wrong what with parents these days? Have they gone insane?! As we started walking we came to a stop as we approached a house, and a man answered the door. We told him about our “situation” and he agreed to take us in. It seemed like a good place to stay in, and his wife and himself seemed delighted that we were staying which is good I suppose. In fact the man was very attached to Gretel as if it was his own daughter, they treated her with special care and me well I guess I wasn’t treated very special like Gretel. I admit I enjoyed our new home, but I felt as though something was odd. Gretel had found seven beds in a room, and that made me curious. Why were there seven beds? Did someone else live here too? Where are they? We then found out that the man and his wife had previously had seven kids that were all boys. “No wonder they treated Gretel more special” I thought. But where were the boys? I kept asking, and soon enough Gretel had the answer. Apparently from what she told me, the father wished them to turn into seven swallows because they were useless. “Great more psychotic, evil parents.” I was thinking. Being the good person Gretel was she wanted to save, the boys and bring them back as if though it was her fault. However, to save the seven boys it involved a journey. A dangerous one may I add. "Just great". I thought.

Journey ends

As if that weren't a dangerous journey to save the brothers Gretel cut off her own finger to save them. Her own finger! I mean, who does that? Anyway after that whole complication we left our new parents because once again they were crazy. We finally decided that we should live on our own without parents. "Great Idea" I thought finally. Gretel and I were walking when we approached a beautiful sight filled with trees, animals, birds and it was so vibrant green there. Of coarse we decided to live there. Then Gretel approached a tree, "What a magnificent tree" she said aloud. "Thank you" The tree replied. "Wait what? The tree talked?!" I was thinking in my little head. We then made a promise with a tree but I wasn't listening because I was looking at a chipmunk. After that, it was finally dinner time. I saw a rabbit and just had a sudden urge to kill it, so I did. I showed Gretel our dinner that was the rabbit and she screamed. She was clearly upset and I felt bad so I promised I would stop. However as the days went by, I couldn't stop, I had the urge to kill every time. "This isn't you" My conscious was telling me. But I still didn't stop. In fact I turned into an animal, a werewolf to be exact. I looked at Gretel who was crying, I felt horrible because I caused that. But as I stepped forward, an arrow flew straight at my chest causing pain and blood to come out. I was going to die, and Gretel was going to be alone. "This is all your fault." I thought before my eyes were interfered with darkness.

I am Hansel  and I have black hair and brown eyes. In my journey I go through a lot but I'm glad I have my sister with me. Let's just say I'm not exactly prepared of what might come next. So far, Gretel and I have been through a lot, and it's not exactly easy.But then I always remember that things can only get better. Or at least I hope so.
