Chapter 36 - In stalling cameras (36)

Bella woke scream "Don't leave me... I love you Beast don't leave me "

Staff rushed in and gave her a shot to calm. She then sat there and cried.

After about two hours she calmed and went back to not saying or moving except for reading her book.

◇◇◇♡♡♡◇◇◇ LITTLE SNOW WHITE cont:

When evening came, and the dwarfs returned home, they found Snow-White lying on the ground; no breath passed her lips, and they were afraid that she was quite dead.

They lifted her up, and combed her hair, and washed her face with wine and water; but all was in vain.

So they laid her down upon a bier, and all seven watched and bewailed her three whole days; and then they proposed to bury her; but her cheeks were still rosy, and her face looked just as it did while she was alive; so they said, "We will never bury her in the cold ground."

And they made a coffin of glass so that they might still look at her, and wrote her name upon it in golden letters, and that she was a king's daughter.

Then the coffin was placed upon the hill, and one of the dwarfs always sat by it and watched. And the birds of the air came, too, and bemoaned Snow-White.

First of all came an owl, and then a raven, but at last came a dove.

And thus Snow-White lay for a long, long time, and still only looked as though she were asleep; for she was even now as white as snow, and as red as blood, and as black as ebony.

At last a prince came and called at the dwarfs' house; and he saw Snow-White and read what was written in golden letters.

Then he offered the dwarfs money, and earnestly prayed them to let him take her away; but they said, "We will not part with her for all the gold in the world."

At last, however, they had pity on him, and gave him the coffin; but the moment he lifted it up to carry it home with him, the piece of apple fell from between her lips, and Snow-White awoke, and exclaimed, "Where am I!"

And the prince answered, "Thou art safe with me." Then he told her all that had happened, and said, "I love you better than all the world; come with me to my father's palace, and you shall be my wife."

Snow-White consented, and went home with the prince; and everything was prepared with great pomp and splendor for their wedding.

To the feast was invited, among the rest, Snow-White's old enemy, the queen; and as she was dressing herself in fine, rich clothes, she looked in the glass and said, "Tell me, glass, tell me true! Of all the ladies in the land, Who is fairest? tell me who?"

And the glass answered, "Thou, lady, art the loveliest here, I ween; But lovelier far is the new-made queen."

When she heard this, the queen started with rage; but her envy and curiosity were so great, that she could not help setting out to see the bride.

And when she arrived, and saw that it was no other than Snow-White, whom she thought had been dead a long while, she choked with passion, and fell ill and died; but Snow-White and the prince lived and reigned happily over that land, many, many years.

Zane woke in his office. There was a suit hanging and breakfast on his desk.

He half ate the meal and went to the employee gym to shower and get ready.

His secretary had someone clear out the office next door and turn it into a resting room with a full bath.

He work just as he did the day before making everyone wishing he was dead.

By noon he left and drove around. He ended up at the place Bella was staying. He went in and watched. He then called someone to secretly place cameras so he could keep a watch over his beauty.

"Why does she just sit there and not eat?" He asked a nurse as she came out of the room.

"She has shut down. The only thing she does on her own is read. The Doctors are not sure if she is really reading or if it's just an action to calm herself."

He then went and set up an account and gave instructions for the best care.

He arrived back in the office that evening and as soon as he was notified he pulled his video.

She was not in her room right now but her book was on her bed. Soon a a nurse leads her in. She looked as if she had just showered. They dressed wounds on her legs. Then the nurse handed her the book and she hugged it tight. When the nurse left he watched his beauty open her book.

He wondered what she was reading.

◇◇◇♡♡♡◇◇◇ CATHERINE AND FREDERICK

Once upon a time there was a youth named Frederick and a girl called Catherine, who had married and lived together as a young couple.

One day Fred said, "I am now going into the fields, dear Catherine, and by the time I return let there be something hot upon the table, for I shall be hungry, and something to drink, too, for I shall be thirsty."

"Very well, dear Fred," said she, "go at once, and I will make all right for you."

As soon, then, as dinner-time approached, she took down a sausage out of the chimney, and putting it in a frying-pan with batter, set it over the fire.

Soon the sausage began to frizzle and spit while Catherine stood by holding the handle of the pan and thinking; and among other things she thought that while the sausage was getting ready she might go into the cellar and draw some beer.

So she took a can and went down into the cellar to draw the beer, and while it ran into the can, she bethought herself that perhaps the dog might steal the sausage out of the pan, and so up the cellar stairs she ran, but too late, for the rogue had already got the meat in his mouth and was sneaking off.
