Chapter 1: Sleeping Beauty & the Forgotten Princess

It all began in Edinburgh, Scotland. In the Stewartson Kingdom, there was once a Princess. This Princess is named Briar Rose. When she was born, she was given both a blessing and a curse. Unknown to her and the King and Queen at the time, she was made Guardian of the Thorned Rose, chosen by the Goddess Flora. To celebrate her birth, the King invited seven godmothers. They gifted the Princess with so many wonderful blessings. They gave her the gift of beauty, wit, grace, dance, song, and goodness. However, amidst the festivity, the King accidentally overlooked the eighth one. Angry for not being invited, the eighth godmother place a curse on the newborn child.

She shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel on her 16th birthday and die!

It was a dreadful curse indeed. However, the seventh godmother saved the Princess.

The Princess shall not die, after a hundred years of sleep have passed... Only a kiss from a Prince who loves her will the Princess be awaken...

In an effort to prevent such a tragedy from happening, the King and Queen collected all the spindles and hid them in a room. They couldn't really burn them because how else will they have cloth to make clothes? Plus, many of their subjects own a spinning wheel. Without them, the people might rebel against their King and Queen for the little money they're making if all spinning wheels were burned.

The King and Queen also never informed their daughter, worried that it would shattered her childhood for the Princess has many huge dreams she wished to accomplish. The Princess never even questioned them, feeling it was not her business to do so. It was when four years have passed since the birth of Briar Rose that a newborn princess was born. Once again, the royal family didn't know that their new family member is given a blessing by the same Goddess. She was made as the Guardian of the English Ivy. It was on one afternoon that Briar Rose was in her room when a servant told her of her sister.

Filled with excitement, she quickly ran to her mother's bedroom to see the Queen cradling the baby girl in her arms. The little girl's eyes beamed in delight as she walked towards her mother to have a closer look. The baby have light brown hair, though it can be easily mistaken for strawberry blonde against her pale yet lovely fair skin. She has beautiful green eyes as she looked at her older sister.

"Can I hold her?" Briar Rose asked her mother in a pleading way.

The Queen gave a sad smile that went unnoticed by the Princess. Nevertheless, she allowed her daughter to hold her sister. Briar Rose was still excited. In her arms is her little sister. She can imagine it now. She'll help her sister learn to walk and talk. She will care and love her just like she always dreamt of. There was just a tiny problem. She doesn't know the name of her sister.

"What's her name, Mother?" Briar Rose looked up at her mom in curiosity.

"Ivy Green, dear." the Queen answered.

Unfortunately, Briar Rose never knew that this day was going to be the first and the last time she'll see of her sister... Or the mentioning of her.

The next day, the little Princess went into the room that was supposed to be her sister's when she found it empty. She walked into the quiet and spacious room full of bewilderment. There was nothing. No furniture, no clothes in the closet, no curtains on the windows, not even a cradle. A servant notices the girl wandering around the empty space by herself.

"Princess, what are you doing in here?" she asked.

Briar Rose frowned in confusion, "Where's Ivy?"

"Oh," the servant seemed reluctant to answer her question. "Who is Ivy? Is she your imaginary friend?"

"Clara," Briar Rose sighs in frustration. "Ivy, my little sister."

"You must have been dreaming, Princess." Clara, the servant, suggested.

Briar Rose was getting more and more frustrated. Couldn't anyone just give her an answer? What's with all this delaying? She couldn't stay put anymore. She started to run into the hallways, ignoring the servant's pleads that she'll explain.

'No she wouldn't.' the Princess thought.

If she did, she would have answered her, not make up some story. She needed answers and headed to her father's studies.

"Father!" she called out.

"What is it, Rose?" the King asked in concern, turning his attention away from his writing desk.

"Where is Ivy?" she bluntly questioned, tired from running all the way here.

The King was also hesitant with the answer and the Princess was getting tired of it. Why can't they just say it? Just why do they wait? She was clearly not asking out of curiosity.

"Ivy," the King started. "She's..."

Briar Rose sighs, "Why can't you just answer the question? Where is she?"

At this point, the Princess is starting to become angry. Just answer the question. Is that such a hard thing to do?

"She's... Gone." the King finished.

The fury she felt a minute ago disappeared. In its place was confusion and shock. Briar Rose was taken aback. She did not expect that answer at all.

"W-What?" escaped from her mouth as she took a step back in shock.

The King sighs, "She was sent away to live with a relative of your mother."

"B-But why?" Briar Rose had to asked.

She just has to know. However, the King didn't tell her. Instead, he just told her that it was best to forget about her sister, Ivy Green. From that day, with little mentioning of the second daughter of the King and Queen. Ivy Green became known as "The Forgotten Princess".

Ever since that day, the King and Queen hardly ever mentioned their second daughter. They rarely mentioned her at all that eventually, even they have forgotten about her. But not Briar Rose. She can never forget about her beloved sister. However, even if they didn't mentioned Ivy, she still felt that they were hiding something from her. She was tired of it. Why the secrets? What were they keeping from her? She wanted to know.

Regardless of what had happened, King and Queen can never truly forget about Ivy. They just wished they did. It was when their daughter turned ten years old that they decided to tell her the truth. They explained to the distraught Princess about her curse, which led to her sister being sent away out of fear that she will have the same fate as her. Briar Rose was heartbroken. It just wasn't fair! She could have been with her sister- to be a family together.

However, it was a life- no... It was just a mere dream that was never meant to come true. At least, not for Briar Rose. Her life was just a lie. Filled with nothing, but false dreams, deceits, and secrets. As years passed, the Princess grew into a very fine young lady. Beautiful long, blonde hair with curly locks. Mesmerizing blue eyes like the blue night sky. A delicate red rose in her hair like her name. Always wearing a white and green dress when she prefers red. She was truly a beauty that she would have been proud of, but she's not... Not in a life without her sister. No days have passed without her thinking of her sister, Ivy Green.

Always wondering how she was doing and if she was happy. However, despite she now know of her curse, nothing could changed what had happened. She can't changed the events that have occurred. Just like her curse, she can't escaped the inevitable- what was destined to happen. It was her destiny, even if it was going to be a tragic one, it's a part of Fate's designs. Not even the most powerful beings can help, for such interference in destiny, there will be consequences.

Finally, it was Princess Briar Rose's 16th birthday. The Princess was in her room when something took hold of her... Like a spell. She walked is slow strides out of her room and into the hallways.

"Princess, where are you going?" Clara questioned her.

Briar Rose simply ignores her for she is still in her trace. She continues to follow a sound. A sound of... Spinning? The Princess snapped out of her trance in realization of what that spinning sound is. She had to get far away from it, but something was holding her back. She was back in her trance again and continued to follow the sound all the way to a room. When she opened the door, she saw the contraption as well as a hooded woman. Once more, she broke free from her trance to stare at the mysterious figure she have never seen before.

"It appears I have a visitor." the woman speak with her black raven.

"Who are you?" Briar Rose questioned in a firm, yet uncertain tone.

She never encountered this woman in all her life. Never seeing her in the palace before. Something wasn't right. Her eyes trailed to the spinning wheel as the woman continue to spin. She wanted to run out of the room and lock the door shut, but couldn't. She just stood where she is, waiting for the woman's answer.

"I am just a poor old beggar woman who loves to spin." the woman answered. "Do you want to try, Princess?"

There was a hint of malice in her tone when it happened. Suddenly, the moment the woman suggested the idea, Briar Rose felt her right arm is moving by itself uncontrollably. She tried to pull her arm back, but she couldn't. She can't even control her movements as she is walking closer to the spindle. Her arm is reaching for the item, her index finger slowly landing on the sharp needle. A single drop of red blood fell. Immediately, she collapsed to the floor in deep sleep. Before anything else could happen, briars started to burst from the ground and enshrouded the castle while all the inhabitants have also fallen into sleep. The curse has been fulfilled. The old beggar woman rise from her chair.

"Hahaha!" she laughed. "The curse is finally complete! Sleep well, Princess!"

The old beggar woman, who turned out to be the 8th godmother, disappeared in a cloud of dark smoke to see what her curse has caused. She smirked as briars continue to grow and grow until it covers the entire kingdom! It seemed impossible to enter and save everyone with many thorns in the way. Now time will stop, but years shall come and go. Since this day forward, the stories and legends began to foretold... Of a tale well known as "The Sleeping Beauty".

I know this chapter is more towards Briar Rose, but then again, Ivy was not much mentioned throughout of Curse of Briar Rose. Only in the bonus game which is after a thousand years of sleep. But don't worry, we'll see more of her in the next two chapter of her arc. After looking at all of James' wives, I think he has a thing for woman who have brown hair. If you love this story, please review and favorite.
