Chapter 1 A story
'Long ago, in a land far, far away, lived a girl named Hansel.
She was a bright child with a smile of an angel and the face of a fairy.
Being the only daughter, her parents loved her dearly, even though they were not wealthy, they would treat Hansel no less than a princess.
Everyday they would go to work in the morning and return after the sun had set. Hansel used to wait for them in the doorway, to greet them. Everything was going on perfectly, and there seemed to be no worry ever to come close to them.
Until one day when the spring of her life ended and the winter took over her fragile heart. The sun had set long ago and due to the heavy rain everything was even more scary. Hansel was scared as she stood by the doorway staring at the open gate hoping her parents would return soon, the innocent heart wished to see them so her heart would be at peace, but nothing except for the loud thunders greeted her eyes. Hansel's frightened heart leaped out of her chest when one of the thunder bolts struck the trees of the forest, and with a blink of an eye, a fire had started.
The yellow flames reflected in her eyes like a monster, because the forest fire was spreading quickly, it had already taken over some of the cottages that were close to the forest, and within no time the fire had taken over half the village.
At that moment the only wish her tiny heart had was to get a glimpse of her parents entering the gates. The villagers were out on the muddy streets, somewhere running, while the others were in state of shock.
"Come home, please." Hansel mumbled in a crying voice as she looked at the burning gate of her house. They didn't return.
"Child get away from there, run!"
The village blacksmith who had caught a glimpse of the child standing in the doorway like a statue.
But Hansel didn't budge, He jumped into the fire and picked her and took her away from the burning house.
"No, put me back, put me back."
Hansel protested and wanted to grab onto the fading image of her house with her tiny hands but it was in vain.She cried as she saw her home fading away from her vision, the village was burning even with rain falling down.
The cries the misery was witnessed by Hansel in such a young age, the night was the most horrible night of her life, or was it? The next day when the day broke, the sky was grey and the air had a disgusting smell, The villagers got back to the village, The girl too ran back to her home, which was just a pile of dark matter, the doorway she stood in was half broken and half burned, she walked close to it and notice a human like figure laying, it was her mother.
The burned body emitted a foul smell, the flesh had burned down and there was blood, Hansel's heart tore into shreds and a tear rolled into her eyes, The blacksmith from before found her father body in another corner of the house, The pain was so much for a child that she didn't know how to react to it for a while, and the blacksmith picked her up and took her away from the scene.
Hansel didn't protest this time as she was in the state of shock, he had seen the dead bodies of her parents, all the happiness of her life too was burnt to ashes along with the little house of her's.'
'She died that day, along with her happiness, her young heart too died, with only emptiness left.'
Hazel stopped her story after she had said those words and looked at Nala who had tearful eyes.
"What happened after that?" Nala spoke with a crying tone.
"You wanna know?" Hazel had stopped because she thought Nala would be tired by listening to it but she seemed to be quite into the story.
Nala didn't speak by she nodded energetically.
"How can you write such a story with so much emotions in it? You should publish it."
"Sigh! Yes I will think about it."
Hazel continued her story.
"Hansel was taken to a small town along with the people of the village who had lost their everything. Hansel was alone in that place with not a single person to hold on to. She would walk the streets of the town like a stray animal and sleep on the streets in the cold nights. Life went from bad to worst in just a span of days.
But soon she was taken into an orphanage. It was not the best place but it was better than sleeping out on the streets under the naked sky.
Years passed and nobody adopted her, she saw kids getting adopted by influential families and got jealous of them.
Hansel had made a friend at the orphanage, she was a beautiful and sweet girl named Aura. She would play around with Hansel and make her happy.
One day Hansel sat in the corner of the room crying, It was her birthday and she missed her parents who would bring her presents on her birthday she missed her parents and wanted to celebrate it, but nobody cared if it was her birthday.
Aura found out that it was her birthday went out and brought her a sweet bun along with a box wrapped in a glittery white sheet. Hansel was happy to see a gift and opened it, hurriedly.
As the glittery sheet was torn off a shiny object was revealed, There was a bracelet inside the box. the one that belonged to Aura herself. Hansel happily accepted the gift and was happy. Hansel didn't know the worth of the bracelet nor did Aura know, the reason she had the bracelet on her wrist, Hazel shifted sides on the bed and looked back at Nala who was keenly listening to her story.
Hazel took a long breath before continuing the story.
' Hansel grew up hoping she would find her happiness, once she is older but nothing much changed.
Until one sunny day when the flowers were blooming and the air was fresh, a beautiful lady hugged her all of a sudden calling her. " lost daughter" She took Hansel away with her. Hansel was happy at first when she thought that she was finally getting adopted but a few days later she found out that it was all a mistake. The beautiful lady who was also the Duke's wife had mistaken her for Aura. Because of the bracelet.
Hansel felt bad for Aura at first but slowly she got used to the love and attention she received from the family and forgot all about Aura, the real daughter of the duke.
Hansel lived like a princess and then the most beautiful day of her life came when she turned of age and was getting introduced officially in the social gathering.
Many influential families had attended the party, The first prince of the state Prince Eric too had attended the ball, He was engaged to the Daughter of the Duke.
When Hansel's eyes fell on the prince she fell in love with him, she knew it because after so long she finally felt like her heart was really beating.
She had her first dance with him, Her happiness had no bounds, she felt like her life was complete. Now the only thing she wanted was to make the prince fall in love with her.
She tried everything to catch his attention, but she never got any. Even so, she didn't give up because she felt alive when she was with him. And time passed and then one day, the prince came to her, her happiness knew no bounds, she thought her wish had finally been granted. Hansel twirled around the garden where the prince had called her to, She danced on the melody her heart played. Everything was perfect until the prince showed up, with his usual serious face.
"Let's break the engagement."
The words fell on Hansel like thunders, the melody that her heart played suddenly met an end, the wings of her dreams shattered in a moment and she fell on the ground from the sky she had been flying in. She felt like she had died once again, the only words that escaped her lips were.
"Why?" In a broken voice, she uttered as she looked at the prince who stood all high and mighty before her, and just then an image slowly emerged from his back. The moonlight struck the timid figure behind him.
Hansel's leg lost the energy to stand up when she saw who it was, she fell on the ground.
"Hansel!? Are you alrig.."
Aura ran towards Hansel to help her up but Hansel stopped her.
Hansel muttered something.
"What.." (Aura)
"Why is it you again? Why?... Why!!" Hansel's face showed misery and disgust as she looked at Aura. She hated her.
"I am sorry... "Aura said as she cried.
Despite being right, Aura apologized to Hansel, even when Hansel was the one stealing Aura's happiness she apologized. But Hansel who was shattered didn't see that. All she thought was that Aura stole her happiness.
Aura was pregnant with the prince's child. And the dutches found out the true identity of Hansel and abandoned Hansel. She was banished from the city, but before she left she poisoned Aura.
She left the city forever and lived the life of a murderer until she couldn't take the guilt of killing her friend anymore. So she committed suicide.
And that was when her real test started, She didn't die. Hansel thought the poison she ingested was not strong enough so she decided to jump off a cliff. But she still didn't die.
The incidents continued and she couldn't die even if she wanted to, until one day she met a man who called himself Her guardian angel. He asked her for a tear and in turn, he would send her back to the past. She didn't agree at first but slowly she began to trust him.
And guess what he did send her back, to the time when she hadn't met the Prince yet, She promised never to make the mistakes of her past ever again, but who knew when she went back to her past body, the heart within too belonged to the past Hansel, which kept on beating fast when she thought of the prince.
Hansel had suffered a lot from redemption and she didn't wish to cause pain to the people she loved anymore so she, changed fate. She never became Aura again. She gave back what was never hers....
"What happened after that? Did she find her happiness again?"
When Hazel had stopped suddenly after not completing the story, Nala felt curious.
"She knows she doesn't deserve happiness because she is just a villainess who is repenting on her sins. Peace is all she is waiting for..."
Hazel's voice was greaving, one could feel the sadness pouring through it. She closed her eyes to avoid showing too many emotions.
"I am tired, I wanna rest"
Hazel turned around and tightly closed her eyes and a tear escaped. Nala sat at the edge of her bed staring at Hazel's back. She was still curious about what had happened to the girl in the story, how it had ended?
