The sleeping beauty

At the risk of sounding cliché this story begins long, long again in a land far, far away.
"Hang on, I thought you hated cliché's?"
I do hate them but that is the true beginning of this story.
"How about you don't go cliché on us? what if it wasn't that long ago in a land surprisingly close?"
That is were a different story takes place. A different tale but what I want to tell today is the tale of a young lady far, far away who lived long, long ago.
"But..."
Do you WANT me to read you a bedtime story or not?
"Yes..."
Then be quit and listen
"Ok..."
Long, long ago in a land far, far away there was a young woman.
"surprise surprise."
*glares*
"I'm quiet."
That young woman was not nice
"Oeh plot twist."
That's it, I'm grabbing the ductape.

She enjoyed seeing others suffer. It made her feel young and alive. She was constantly contemplating how to make those around her miserable. One day she woke up and looked in the mirror. She was shocked by what she saw, not a young beautiful girl but an old ugly woman. She broke every mirror in her house and cried. 'Where has my beauty gone' she screamed in despair. She cried day and she cried night. when people passed her they were happy to see the tables turned. Those who came for a visit felt sorry for her. Some tried to help them but she just shooed them away. one day an old booksalesman came to sell some books in the village near where she lived. He felt sorry for her and when he saw the broken mirrors in her house he reached between his books and took out a book named "How to stay young and beautifull forever." and lied it in front of her after wich he left her alone. A while later she noticed the book. She looked around but saw no one. She dried her tears and read the book cover to cover. The book explained how to steal the youth and beauty from someone and she put a couple to use stealing the youth and beauty from everyone in the village. The booksalesman had left the village before she finished reading the book. Then once she stole the youth and beaty from everyone in the village, they all died of old age. She knew she had to go find more people and remembered a spell to steal the soul of men. Each soul would last for a thousand years.

She spread a rumor that there was a woman more beautifull then anything on this planet sleeping. She would marry whomever would kiss her awake. She prepared everything she needs to steal souls. Then she layed there waiting for the souls to come to her. for centuries men would come to her to kiss her awake only to have their souls stolen once the lips touched. She became more beautifull with every new soul. When a woman tried to enter she was killed shortly after because the book had warned the witch that one kiss from a woman would mean the end of her. Then rumors start to spread that no one came back from that. Yet people still tried hoping that they are the special one. One day a man entered the traps that were designed to kill the women didn't budge. He came to the end where the witch had fallen asleep after so long of pretending. He took of his hat revealing long hair and took off his vest revealing he was a she. The traps frantically strted moving but she was too far. She kissed the witch. The witch woke p and screamed lashing out at the woman who had dared to kiss her. The witch grew older and older while she was doing that untill the moment she turned to dust. The building crumbled around the woman. She left and lived the rest of her life out in peace.
