The
Twisted Fairy Tale
- inspired by Grimy Brother's Fairy Tales -
N.B. This is a Chinese version of Earl Cain. Except Earl and Lief, all the other characters' names are named by myself as I don't know their original names. If anyone knows that, please tell me and let me correct it, thanks!
please read from the Right to the Left
"Stepmother killed me; Papa ate me; Little sister picked my bones under the table, wrapped with a piece of cloth --- buried me under the pine . . . "
Cain:
"This is the tree of "The Legendary Pine" ! Lief, have you
heard of if before?! If you bury the bones under this pine tree in a full
moon night, the dead would alive again ---- just like what the legend says.
. . "
The
noble woman: "Where is Cain? Will he show up today?"
"Today is an important day to that boy. It's a family meeting!"
Lief : " Yes, Madame! I've already asked the people to find him . . .
"
Angus
(thinks):
This family meeting is a competition for the kin to gain the right of being
Cain's guardian. And yet, only me know that Cain would never show up. Yes!
Because . . .
Suddenly, Cain comes in. He is seriously hurt and nearly dead
The kin shout : " CAIN? "
Cain
: " Lief, this is . . . Where am I ?"
Lief : " Young Master Cain! Your body is with mud and hurts . . . "
Cain : " I can't remember more . . . It seems that someone hit me last
night . . . "
The Chambermaid Selina broke the silverware
A
voice : " Selina, what are you doing here? "
Selina (in fear) : " ah . . . ah . . . ! "
Angus (to Selina) : " You look pale! Take a rest there ! "
Selina : " I beg your pardon, Master Angus."
A
man :" The meeting has to postponed then . . . "
Angus : " Oh, certainly. . . "
Selina (insecure and fearful) : " Master Angus! It's Cain. Oh, NO. How
could this be?" " Wasn't he . . . ? "
Angus
recalls:
Selina and I stole some antiques from the Hargreaves' treasure basement. We
tried to move them out . . .
A stranger :" Who is it?"
- someone saw us ? -
Angus (shouts to the stranger): " You bastard! Try to escape ?"
Selina : " Cain? " "He is Young Master Cain . . . . . . "
Anugs :" You don't know your master?"
Selina : " Yes. Because those allowed to serve Young Master Cain are
limited to a few servants and Mr. Lief. "
Angus
(thinks):
Damn it. . . If this is discovered by anyone, I am finished - especially by
the successor.
