Chapter 4: Let Me Keep You

Gretel

ROSALIND AND I WALKED from our apple stand in the village to the fields. We were going to watch the boys work, she said. We were going to bring them lunch. She’d prepared two sets of sandwiches, fruits and vegetables. One sack was for me to give to Otto. The other was for her to give to Hansel.

“I didn’t know you were so close to Hansel,” I said.

She blushed. “Well, I have a fondness for him, you know. We spent some time together this summer.”

I gripped Otto’s basket. What was wrong with me? Why was my body doing this? But though I didn’t want to think about it I knew the answer, so I squeezed the basket to my body, trying to banish the question. Had she been with Hansel? Was she is little whore? Did he touch her like he’d touched me? Did he own her, like he owned me?

We walked in silence for a few moments. I noticed her small smile, the way she didn’t seem to notice the wind blowing dust in her face, the joy in her eyes. For the first time, I hated my friend’s happiness. I didn’t want her to have it—not if it was about Hansel.

“We’re almost there.” She couldn’t contain her excitement. I nodded absently, and looked ahead.

Hansel and Otto were gathering wheat together. They moved the sickle back and forth, their muscles glistening in the sun. From behind, if you ignored their difference in height, they almost looked like brothers. Both had the same dark hair. I wondered if Rosalind would be able know that it was Hansel from behind regardless of who was around him. I always could. My body always recognized him—was always drawn to him. Even before yesterday’s events, I’d always been close to him. Perhaps, too close.

Rosalind ran ahead, and her bonnet fell, letting lose her red hair. It was such a pretty color—the color of apples. I wondered if Hansel liked it. I wondered if he ran his fingers through it, if he grabbed it as he fucked her face.

No, I couldn’t think like that. My heart hammered in my chest. I was going insane. I had no proof that they had done those things together. It was just my wild imagination. Still, even if they hadn’t done anything, it didn’t matter. She could run up to him like that. She could fall into his arms, and no one would say anything. If I did those things, there would be talk of me being too close to my stepbrother. It wasn’t fair. I wanted to be able to be as free and open at my feelings for him as she was.

“Hansel!” She cried out. She set down her basket and jumped onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck. Hansel stumbled forward a few steps, then turned and caught her in his arms. He smiled briefly, said her name, and then he looked up and saw me.

His face went cold, but Rosalind didn’t notice.
