No Longer A Fairytale ( Short Stories)
chapter#2 (Hantzel and Gretlel)
Once upon a Time, there lived a poor family in a small cabin in a woods
Stepmother
Don’t you think it’s about time Hantzel and Gretel move out of the cabin?😒
Stepmother
I mean, they are 20 years old already. Why can’t they be out on their own?!
Stepmother
And besides, we don’t have enough money to afford living with them anymore. We are poor!😠
Dad
But they are my precious sons. I can’t just abandon them. They don’t have any life skills. What kind of father would I be to leave them out on their own?🥺
Stepmother
I can’t believe this!
Stepmother
Here we are in the middle of the woods in this tiny cabin, but you want to keep those leeches with us?😠
Dad
I’m sorry, wife, but I can’t abandon my sons😣
Dad
Ever since their mother passed away, I’ve been so protective of my sons going out into the woods😩
Stepmother
You know what fine, whatever, but you better come back with more money to sustain all of us. You hear me!😠
Dad
I’ll head to the town and look for more jobs
Stepmother
(He has no spine. I have to do everything by myself don’t I?)🙄
Stepmother
(I will come up with an idea to get rid of those leeches and then we can live happily by ourselves)😏
Stepmother
Hantzel, Gretel!
Stepmother
Would the two of you come here, please!
Hantzel and Gretel go to their stepmother
Hantzel
Yes, what is it you need stepmother?
Stepmother
Your clumsy father forgot to bring his work ax with him😩
Stepmother
I want you both to head into town and give it to him
Hantzel
But stepmother, we don’t know our way around the woods. What happens if we get lost?
Stepmother
Well, your father always uses a basket of bread to mark his trail, so he knows exactly where he’s going😏
Gretel
Bread, why would he use bread?
Stepmother
Because…… because bread looks completely different than the rocks sticks and leaves in the woods. it’s easy to know if you came across your trail if you see bread on the floor😅
Gretel
I don’t understand it completely, but I guess if father can find his way around the woods and always come back home then it might be a good idea to use bread🤔
Hantzel
Yeah, I guess we can try it
So their stepmother gives them a basket full of bread so they can mark their path back home
Hantzel
Ummm Gretel, we have a problem. I think we’ve been walking in circles.
Gretel
What are you talking about? If we were walking in circles we would’ve came across the bread trail by now.
Hantzel
Well, that’s the thing, we kind of ran out of bread😅
Gretel
What, when do we run out?!😦
Gretel
Why didn’t you say anything?!
Hantzel
Well, I tried to, but you wouldn’t stop saying “ be quiet Hantzel and let me focus”😒
Gretel
All Right, All right, if you think you’re so smart, then you take us back home🙄
Hantzel
I think it’s this way…… or maybe it’s that way?🤔
Gretel
Face it Hantzel we’re lost! 😠
Hantzel
Well, we were lost from the beginning, so maybe if we keep walking straight we will find someone or something that can help us find a way to the city or back home🙂
Gretel
So what you’re saying is we have to walk until we find someone that can give us directions?🤨
Gretel
Yeah, surely we will come across some kind of stranger to help us on our way [Sarcasm]
Hantzel
Well, do you have a better idea?😠
Gretel
Not at the moment, let’s go with yours😒
The twins wander deeper into the woods
Gretel
OK, my feet are hurting from all of this walking😩
Hantzel
Yeah, and I’m kind of hungry too😞
Gretel
Wait, what is that?
Gretel
That over there look!
Gretel
It looks like smoke from a chimney!
Hantzel
A chimney so there’s a house over there!😃
Hantzel
Oh finally, we can ask for directions back to the city😄
Gretel
And maybe ask for some food on the way😁
The twins head to the direction of the Smoking chimney
Gretel
Finally, we made….it
Gretel
This must be a hunger Mirage, or something😅
Hantzel
Yeah, why else would there be just a candy house in the middle of the woods?🤔
Gretel
What is that noise?
Smokes spews from the house
Hantzel
I don’t know, but I think it’s coming from that house
Gretel
come on let’s go check it out
The twins approach the candy house
Hantzel
* Knocks on the door*
Hantzel
Hello is anyone there?!
Gretel
Excuses, but are you OK?!
???
Yes, I’m just very new to this potion making stuff!
???
So what brings you to my grandmother‘s potion shop?
Gretel
Shop, this candy house is a shop?🤨
???
Well, at least it used to be😅
???
I was messing around with some potions and I accidentally turned the shop into a candy shop😞
Gretel
So are you a which?
???
Well, not quite yet, I a witch in training
???
But enough about me, what are your names?
Hantzel
Oh, my name is Hantzel and this is my twin brother Gretel😉
???
Hantzel and Gretel, those are some very nice names😊
Gretel
Thanks, and who might you be?
Gordon(which)
Oh, my name is Gordon☺️
Hantzel
Well, it’s very nice to meet you, Gordon
Gretel
aren’t you too young to watch over a shop?🤨
Gordon(which)
Oh, don’t let my looks fool you, I am 19 years old today😉
Hantzel
Wow, that’s great😃
Gretel
Happy birthday, Gordon😁
Gordon(which)
Thank you very much, you see we witches have what we like to call a coming of age celebration🤗
Gordon(which)
And since my coming of age celebration falls on a full moon my grandmother said something special happen😊
Gretel
Oh, what is the special something?
Gordon(which)
My grandmother saids that I will be destined to meet my special someone during my celebration if it falls on a full moon and it just so happened that it does this year🥹
Gordon(which)
And when that happens, we will be bonded for all eternity🥰
Hantzel
That sounds really great 😊
Gretel
So not to be rude, but can we stay at your shop for a while? We’re kind of lost.😅
Hantzel
Yeah, we’ve been wandering in the woods for a very long time and we don’t know our way around.😅
Gordon(which)
Oh, it’s OK. It’s no bother. You guys can stay here until you can find your way back to the town.
Gretel
Do you know the directions to the town?
Gordon(which)
Yes, I do, but I can’t take you there myself because I need to watch over my grandmas potion shop🤔
Gordon(which)
But you can’t stay here until my grandma comes back, when she does I will be able to take you guys back to the town😊
Hantzel
Wow, that’s amazing. When will she be back?😃
Gordon(which)
In three months🙂
Gretel
Well, that is a bit long, but it’s better than starving out in the middle of the woods🤔
Gordon(which)
Then it’s settled come on in😊
Hantzel
Thank you so much, we’re starving😩
Gordon(which)
Well, lucky for you. I am a fantastic cook. 😉
Gretel
Thank you so much, Gordon☺️
The twins sit down at the table and stuff, their faces full of food that Gordon has prepared for them
Hantzel
Wow, I’m so full. I haven’t eaten a meal like that in ages.😋
Gretel
I couldn’t agree more, brother😋
Gordon(which)
OK guys, I prepared a guest room for you you to sleep in☺️
Gretel
Thank you for helping us out Gordon🙂
Gordon(which)
It’s no problem😉
Gordon(which)
As my grandmother always says “help those who need help and you will be rewarded in return”☺️
Gordon(which)
All right, good night Hantzel and Gretel
All of them had to their rooms
Gretel
* Whispering* bro, bro, wake up
Hantzel
What is so important that it can’t wait until morning🥱
Gretel
Do you smell something?
Hantzel
Well, yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?
The twins exit the guest room
Hantzel
Do you think we should be sneaking around someone else’s house?
Gretel
We’re not sneaking we’re just trying to find the cause of that smell😒
Hantzel
Yeah, that’s called sneaking🙄
Gretel
It’s coming from Gordon’s room
On the other side of the door
The twins enter Gordon’s room
They spot Gordon on his bed half naked and playing with himself
Gordon(which)
Hantzel, Gretel🥵
Gordon(which)
Can you please help me🥺
Gretel
I don’t know, but it looks like he’s in heat😏
Gordon(which)
Please help me with this 🥺
The twins approach Gordon
Gretel
It’s clear what he wants😏
Hantzel
Yes, but should we? I don’t know if he’s in his right mind🤔
Gordon(which)
* Grabs them both and pulls them down on the bed*
Gordon(which)
I’m not going to sit around and wait for your answers. I need you now!😠
Gretel
If that’s what you want😏
Hantzel
* Paul Gordon closer*
Hantzel
Then let’s take our time and have as much fun as we want😉
(Sorry, but I’m not getting in trouble for this)😏
The twins were paired with Grayden that very night
Gordon(which)
Guys breakfast is ready!😊
The twins kissed Gordon on his cheeks
Gordon(which)
Morning you two🥰
Hantzel
How are you feeling, Gordon?🙂
Gretel
I’m still surprised you could stand up this morning, after last nights ordeal😏
Gordon(which)
I’ll have you know that my legs are perfectly fine!😳
Hantzel
Gretel stop teasing Grayson😠
Gordon(which)
Oh, I forgot to tell you guys that I got another letter from my grandma🤗
Hantzel
Wow, that’s great. What does it say?
Gordon(which)
It says “ I hope you and the twins are doing very well. I have just a few more deliveries to make and then I will be back, but I do hope you turned my potion shop back to normal by the time I get back. Love and kisses to you all. I can’t wait to meet Hantzel and Gretel.”
Hantzel
I can’t wait to meet your grandmother😊
Gretel
And neither can I☺️
Gretel
But in the meantime * Picks up Gordon*
Gordon(which)
Wait, what are you doing?!😳
Gretel
What do you think, we’re going to head upstairs and have a little fun 😏
Hantzel
Sounds like a plan to me😉
Gordon(which)
But we didn’t even finish breakfast yet!😳
Hantzel
We can come back and finish it later😋
They all head upstairs to Gordon‘s room
Gordon(which)
What wait no I still don’t-
The story ends with Hantzel and Gretel eating the little witch every night
This is the end of the Hantzel and Gretel chapter
