When Geraldine came to live with them, she brought her apples she herself had picked from the apple trees inside the palace gardens. She gifted Geraldine apple blossom for in her hair or to place them in a vase inside Geraldine's chambers. Geraldine always accepted her gifts with a huge smile on her face.Thank you so much, child. I will wear them with pride.Snow loved Geraldine and wanted to make her feel welcome. Geraldine was beautiful herself, she was a tall woman with long brown hair and skin that looked like gold. The bright amber eyes that had followed her every move were always full of what Snow thought was love. The wedding happened in the spring, right after Snow had turned 10.

Stepmother
The next morning Snow woke up with the news that her father was dead and that Geraldine, the new queen was the one who murdered him. But because Snow was too young to inherent the throne, there was no other option then to give Geraldine her seat of power. Geraldine in turn, turned on Snow. Showing her true colors, for the first time. Taking away all her toys, nice clothes, jewelry and even her own room. Geraldine banned her into a broom closet, gave her rags to wear and made her do all kinds of chores. Snow often pleaded with her stepmother for a hug or some other form of affection. But this was always punished with going to bed hungry. Everyone who tried to help Snow was fired from their position, and later when Snow was 14, they disappeared. It was strongly believed that they were murdered by the queen. This is how Snow lived her life for 10 years.

Huntsman
On the night before Snow's twentieth birthday, Geraldine called upon the huntsman named Wolram Jäger. The man had served Snow's parents before he served the queen. Although he hated the woman, he never made his feelings known. He was not able to afford to vanish into thin air or getting killed. He was a single father of a daughter Emery Jäger, and he was all she got. Although he made sure that she was outside the queen's reach before he entered the castle.Huntsman, I have a job for you. One only you can perform.The queen didn't even give him time to catch his breath. She never did, so that was no surprise there. Still this all was strange, what kind of job did he need to perform at night.
Tomorrow morning, you will take the princess into the forest. Like you do every year. But once you are at the peony field, you will take this knife and kill her.She gave him a special knife, on with the symbol of an apple on it. The symbol of the kingdom. He closed his eyes, the princess would turn twenty this year, so she was old enough to take her father's throne. But she couldn't do that when she was dead.
Don't you dare refuse me, Wolram. It will not end well for your daughter, Emery was it?He already knew that he didn't have a choice in the matter. But she was aiming for the only light in his world.
I will do it, my queen.Although he would hate himself for the rest of his life.
Murder Attempts
It has been six years, since the huntsman tried to fool her with a deer's heart. But she didn't care, with the help of her magic mirror she was able to locate Snow, and keep an eye on her. That foolish girl was cleaning and cooking, joining hands with men and dwarf. She was well out of the way, but she was still alive. Which meant that she was a threat, and Geraldine liked to be queen. She was a witch, who has master the dark powers, helped by the dark God Darorr. And he had told her that she wouldn't be happy as long Snow was breathing. But she knew there was no way that she could slit her throat, she couldn't have Snow's blood on her hands. This would backfire on her. So she set off, with a plan to finish the job that Wolram started. She found Snow alone at home, Emery was inside the village shopping. Geraldine had disguised herself as a merchant selling strings for corsets, who was traveling through the village. Snow was fooled by her and she started to lace Snow's corset really tight, so that Snow was not able to breathe. She went back home, believing that she was free. Only to be told by Darror that Snow was saved by Emery when she arrived home. She needed another plan, poison came to her mind. She went back to the village and sold a poisoned comb to Roger, telling him that in her culture it was a symbol of ever lasting love. The fool believed her and gave the comb to Snow. This time Geraldine stuck around to see if her plan worked, only to see it fail once again. Emery saved Snow once again. Geraldine wished that she had killed the daughter of the huntsman, when she had the chance. But now she needed to rethink her tactic, now that Emery has saved Snow not once, but twice. She knew that poison was the right way to go, but not on objects. Her eyes fall upon the basket filled with apples, that was it. The next morning she returned as an apple merchant this time, selling Emery the best apples the castle garden had to offer. She followed Emery home, and waited. Which was not long, it was a matter of seconds when Emery stormed out of the house screaming for help. Her plan had worked Snow White was dead.
