Snow White was in trouble. As soon as the door opened, she knew that Doc and the others were home. She was supposed to clean the entire cottage, but had ended up falling asleep across three of their beds and now she was rushing to clean the cottage.
The door slowly creaks open as Snow is just getting started on washing the dishes. There is still a big pile of laundry waiting.
She was getting started on washing a dish when the door creaks open. She knows there is no way that she will be able to finish washing the dishes, do the laundry, sweep and mop the floors before all the dwarves get inside.
She rushes upstairs and hides under the bed, but being a full size girl...her feet stick out from the bottom
The dwarves enter the house and look around in shock at the mess-dirty dishes in the sink, cobwebs everywhere, dirty floor, big pile of laundry out back etc.
The dwarves are fuming mad that these chores were not done. They go in search of the errant princess.
Meanwhile Snow White is hiding under the bed with her feet sticking out of the end, nervous as she hears the dwarves looking for her.
She hears footsteps coming up the stairs and tries to scrunch her body up in the vain hope that it will fit under the bed
She feels the dwarves pull her legs out, rather roughly for them and she looks up at 14 angry eyes.
She immediately lowers her eyes and says in her sweetest voice "Masters, please forgive this lazy princess...she was extremely tired. Otherwise, she would have gotten all the chores that You set for her done."
"Ahhh Snowy what are we going to do with you?" Doc said in an undertone then he turned to confer with the other dwarves.
They gathered around in a huddle whispering so that Snow White could not hear them.
Snow White just continues staring at the floor, perhaps hoping that if she just stays there in her kneeling position, the dwarves will take pity on her and her punishment will be lessened.
She knows that she deserves punishment for failing to complete all of her assigned chores. She just hopes that her Masters, the Dwarves, will be lenient in dealing out her punishment.
The first time she moved was when she heard the Dwarves break out of their huddle and she knelt submissively at their feet in a small pile.
"Snowy," Doc began in a stern voice.
"Yes Master?" Snow White said as submissively as possible.
"We" he indicated all of the dwarves "have decided to kick you out of the cottage. We have no use for a lazy slave."
As soon as Snow White heard her fate, she threw herself at their feet, sobbing out her apologies.
"Please Masters don't kick Your slave out of Your cottage...this slave is sure that the queen has figured out that the huntsman did not kill her so she is surely looking for Your slave...if You send Your slave away...the queen will surely find her and kill her on sight" Snowy sobs
"That is not our problem Snowy!" Doc yells coldly at the sobbing slavegirl.
Happy, the kindest dwarf started to look a little sorry for the sobbing slavegirl. However, Doc had anticipated Happy's feelings and said to him "Now Happy, we fusn't-I mean musn't-feel sorry for Snowy, she is just a slavegirl here at our pleasure and we have caught her being lazy and she must be punished."
As soon as Snowy realized she could not talk them out of sending her away, she slowly crawled out of the room.
She looked around at the house that had been her home with a heavy heart. She slowly stripped until she was nude from head to toe and slowly folded her clothes and left them by the door. The clothes she was wearing were not hers, so she could not take them with her.
She left the house in the nude and she began to wander about in the forest. After hours of wandering in the forest, she came to the conclusion she was lost.
Upon coming to a clearing, the naked slave girl decided to rest for a bit. She was tired from wandering around all night and she thought she could get a peaceful night's sleep for once. The dwarves used to keep her up all night.
After she cried herself to sleep for the night, she had horrible dreams. Dreams of things attacking her in the forest.
The next morning when the slave girl woke up...she expected to find herself in the dwarves' cottage. She lets out a cry of despair when she realized she was in the woods, naked and alone;prey for anyone or anything that finds her. She considered taking her own life, but then decided against that plan because technically her life is NOT her own anymore.
What Snowy did not know is that the clearing was right on the edge of the village that still practiced slavery.
One of the farmers was already out in the fields when he spotted Snowy and wanted to make some extra money.
