Playing with narratives

In this story, i will be playing with the narratives, changing the story line to include a twist and flashback. 
Flashback - Where a section of the story is referred back to.
Twist - Where part of the film (often the end) is shocking, unpredictable or stands out as being different from the audience’s expectations.

Emily and the Dragon retold. (Twist+Flashback)
Emily was tired of watching wimpy princes trying to get rid of the local dragon, so she decided to have a go herself. Soon she came upon the dragon who was singeing the top of a freckle-faced boy's head.
Being a resourceful princess, Emily set a trap for the dragon and then tricked him into following her..
"You're just a silly girl, and even though it's hardly worth it, i'm going to toast you to a crisp and have you for pudding' boomed the dragon. 
Just then, Emily had a flashback! She was taken back to when she first met the dragon. A tiny, big-eyed, cute creature sitting in her lap. She remembered all they happy times they shared together, dancing around her room, having the time of her life. That was all until the day the dragon got taken away from her by her evil step mother. Nothing was ever the same again. Her evil step mother, had turned the dragon against her, and was now out on a mission to kill her. Ever since her dragon was taken from her, Emily had been kept in the highest room of the tallest tower in her castle to keep her from getting hurt by the dragon. Now she had finally had the courage to escape from her room, the dragon had found her.  
Just then, the branches she was standing on gave way, and Emily fell down the mile deep trap she made for the evil dragon. 
Emily was trapped forever. She heard the dragons laugh booming down he trap, then she saw the red hot flames coming towards her. She had nowhere to go and no hope, she had been burnt to a crisp.
