January 15, 1949

With love I prayed, that he will make it. That they will make it. That I will make it. I was not supposed to exist. I'm a monster. It's my fault that everything is falling apart. The world is falling down and I don't know how to stop it. I owe everything to him. He helped me.

As a father loves a daughter, he took care of me when others couldn't. He saw the good in me while I saw the good in him. Especially when no one else could. I am grateful for that. Truly grateful. And now he is going to sacrifice himself for my well being.

I can't let someone else die because of me. I know I need to do something, but I'm scared. My brain was filled with what-ifs. What if I kill someone? What if I can't control myself? I was too busy engaging myself in negative thoughts I didn't notice Adolf screaming in agony. I felt his pain course through my veins as my ears twitched at the sound.

"Snow! It's time!" his voice was like a wake up call, prompting me to do something.

I didn't know what to do. Should I do something stupid? Nope, I already did that. Many, many times actually. Maybe something crazy? That's better, Snow.

"Snow! Use your power!" His eyes stared in desperation. He wanted me to show the world what he taught me. He was the father I never had.

"Unleash your power!"

"No fear!" No fear? I can do this. Can I?

"Let go, BriarSnow! Snow, Let go!"

I sucked in a breath. This is it. No time for hiding. No more walls, only freedom. I needed to do this. I can do this! I soon climbed out of the window of the high tower, where he stood. The pathetic excuse of a father that ruined my life holding the supposed "evil man" that saved mine, by the throat. Hesitantly, I magically walked out the window, levitating myself fifteen feet above the ground.

I closed my eyes, allowing my power to seep through my veins of silver blood. I felt my eyes change to their emerald green with gold, and crimson flakes. My hair turned into a changed from a golden blonde to silver. I shakingly raised my hands up.

I screamed.
