Spellbound!

The following is a stand-alone story. But, in case you would like to read the previous parts, here they are-

Part-1- Are You There?

Part-2- Bewitched!


SPELLBOUND!

Peter knew that his daughter Anna had turned into a mannequin. 

He did not know when and how the spell would end.

Anna's phone rang. 

Her friend, William, had called.

Peter explained the situation.

William arrived.

 

He had got a giant spinning-wheel.

Peter looked quizzically.

Photo Prompt- Rochelle Wisoff-Fields

"The spindle had cast a spell on Princess Aurora- Sleeping Beauty. May be it will revive Anna."

William tried pricking the mannequin's finger. 

Nothing happened. 


Peter suggested- "Kissing might work!"

"Kiss her now!"


William had always wanted his first kiss to be special.

As William took the mannequin in his arms, Anna came to life.

      Yes! Had to end the story. Anna had to come to life.

  4. It was worth a try! Thankfully no poisoned apples were involved... :)

    1. True. The key is to keep trying. Some charm will surely work.
      Poisoned apples were part of the Snow White story. The Prince's kiss was the solution in that story too :)
      Kissing worked even in the "Princess & the Frog".
      In this story, no kissing frog was involved :)

    1. The spindle of the spinning-wheel had made Princess Aurora fall into a deep sleep- she became Sleeping Beauty.
      Glad you liked it. Thanks for the nice image, Rochelle :)
