Once it began to get dark, Jessica decided to look for somewhere to stay in Wrexham. She roamed the streets looking for shelter when she stumbled upon an isolated house which had its windows bordered up with wood and its door was wide open. Jessica decided to check if anyone was in there and if she could stay there for the night. The place was filthy, the floor was covered in junk such as needles, cigarette buts, alcohol bottles etc. Then she noticed there were five beds each with carvings on the end of them. The first one read druggy, the second said alcoholic, the third said smoky, the fourth said Lazy and the last one said dopey. Jessica thought to herself that people could have been living here but thought no more of it and went to sleep on all five beds. Later that evening five small men entered the house and gathered around the sleeping princess. Jessica awoke and was startled by the men. But then she calmed down and said “Sorry if this is your house I didn’t realise anyone lived here, these must be your beds then.” All five men were amazed at her beauty and were speechless. One of the men mumbled “Your Pretty.” and she responded anxiously “Thank you, will it be all right if I spend the night here, my stepmother is trying to kill me.” another of the men muttered “Of course you can, you stay as long as you like.” So once Jessica settled in she offered to cook and clean for them as it was the least she felt she could do. So Jessica cleaned the whole house top to bottom and after she finished she went to the shop to buy some food and cooked a wonderful meal for them. After that Jessica decided to find out more about the dwarfs. “So what do you do all day?” she asked. One of the men called Druggy replied “Well I go out and deal drugs, Alcoholic goes to the pub all day, Smoky, well he smokes all day, Lazy just sits on the street corner gathering loose change and dopey just roams around doing nothing.” Jessica replied “Oh I see that’s how you got your names then, Well my name’s Jessica but some people call me Rose-red.” It was getting very late now so they all decided to go to sleep.
Meanwhile back in Scotland the soldier arrived at the castle with a body in a case and says “Here your majesty I bring you Rose-Red” The Queen replies “well done, let me see that scoundrel then”. The soldier shows her the body but she soon realises it isn’t her. “Who the hell is this, this is not Rose-red this is some innocent girl.” The Queen reaches for her gun and shoots the soldier right in the head. “Now, I must find that girl and kill her myself”
The next day the five men set out for their days work. As each of them leave the house Rose-red plants a kiss on each of their foreheads and wishes them a good day. The last one to leave, Druggy says “Watch out for anything suspicious, your stepmother could have put a price on your head and anyone could be after you.” “I will, plus if I need help I know where your weapons are.” she replies. “I taught you well.” Druggy proudly said and off he went on his travels. Rose-red decides to give the house a little clean but whilst she is cleaning she is interrupted by an old woman. “Hello young lady, I am offering everyone a free sample of my homemade pie, would you care for some?” Rose-red replies “Oh how wonderful I am getting quite hungry as well.” She takes a piece of the old woman’s pie and eats it. Rose-red then falls to the floor and sank into an unconsciousness. The old women cackles then leaves the house and shuts the door. Later that day when the five men arrive back home they notice Rose-red lying down unconscious on the floor. They automatically assume that she is dead and they shed a thousand tears. They were devastated but wanted her legacy to live on and so they decided to leave her in a transparent coffin above the ground in Wrexham’s cemetery, so everyone could see her beauty. The five men were still far too grief-stricken and they tragically passed away within the space of a week. Druggy overdoses on drugs, Alcoholic dies of liver failure, Smoky dies of lung cancer, Lazy dies of a heart attack and Dopey hangs himself.
After the prince, that Rose-red ran away from, hears about the news he travels to Wrexham as quickly as he can to see her one last time. The prince rushes to her coffin opens it up and plants a kiss on her forehead. He whispers to himself “Goodbye my princess, I thought we could have had something, I thought you were the one.” As he walks away he notices she twitches her hand three times and realises that she might not be dead. He walks back up to her and nervously says “Hello, hello, are you awake, can you hear me?” Rose-red twitches again and answers croakily “hello, who are you? Am I dreaming?” The Prince is thrilled and proclaims “It is I, the prince, we met a while back and no its all real, thank God.” The prince helps her out of the coffin and they go off together to pursue Rose-red’s dream to live in France where they get married and have two children. They all lived happily ever after, well, apart from Rose-red’s evil stepmother who locked herself in her in her sauna where she burned right down to fiery depths of Hell.
