The Evil Step Sister (2)

Ella
I had waited a few moments after the prince had left to go back inside. I took my time inhaling the fresh air and the lavender scent, letting it steady my still pounding heart. If I didn't know any better I would have thought that it would pop right out of my chest.
I sat down in front of the lavender and touched one of the buds as I whispered to it "Thank you, Mother," and smiled.
My heartbeat had resumed its usual pace and I decided it was time to stand up and head back. 'I'm sure it's been a while since the prince has reentered the ball and I won't be noticed.'
I walked slowly, taking in the beautiful scenery while remembering my dance with the prince. I spun around a few times while humming t

I stood at the base of the steps for a moment, taking in the fresh air, trying to steady myself when I heard a familiar voice from behind me."That was kind of you," said Peter.I jumped when I heard him. I put my hand on my chest and turned around to find him walking down the steps towards me."Hah. You scared me.""I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," He said with a bright smile. "And I didn't mean to watch you just now, but it's kinda my job you see?" he pointed to his uniform."Yes, yes I see that haha," I said awkwardly."So who was she?" He asked while looking at the carriage driving away."Oh, that was my s

*Evening of Royal Ball*I looked at the suit that I was to wear tonight to the ball hanging up on the changing screen and admired it's beauty before dressing. The whole suit was white with some gold embroidery on the top.My families colors were purple and gold, so I was curious as to why my suit was white instead."Gretchen," I caught the maid who had brought in my suit, "could you ask my father the king why my suit is white instead of the royal purple?""Of course your majesty," Gretchen curtseyed and hurried off to find my father.I looked out the window and saw the sunset, it would surely be time to get dressed here soon enough. 'Best not waste time and keep
Cinderella, Queen of Rats Prince Charles (2)
"Now presenting his Majestic the King and his highness, Prince Charles of Briarglen"The doors opened and I stepped forward with my father as everyone applauded. My father then welcomed everyone and mentioned his plans for me to dance with whomever I am taken with before we descended the steps and took our seats, fathers at his throne and mine beside him.I couldn't help but let my eyes wander for the young lady I had seen earlier, I had never seen a lady quite like her. The crowd was overwhelming and the room was hot from all the people so I excused myself out to the garden for some fresh air.'Christ, Charles, you were barely in there for five minutes and you're already trying to escape' I scorned myself as I was walking.Befor

His words were echoing in my ears as I walked away slightly unsteady, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself." His lips tasted like wine and I felt intoxicated when I left his embrace.While walking down the hall back I kept my hand on my lips, trying to preserve the feeling of Peter's desire. Just on the outside of the doorway to the ballroom, I found both Mother and Ana, Mother was blotting off Ana with a handkerchief when her eyes met mine with pure rage. 'Right, I threw punch on Ana when she tore apart Ella's dress.' I sighed and walked over to face my fate.Mother stepped in front of Ana and looked at me with a snarl, her nostrils were almost flaring and I thought with her red dress she looked like a dragon about to engulf me in flames."How dare you treat your sister this way!

The carriage ride home was silent but the air was heated. Both Ana and Mother were red in the face sitting across from me, staring. I refused to make eye contact with them. I wouldn't look at Ana because I feared she would lunge at me, and I didn't want to look at Mother because I feared rather ridiculously that she would actually turn into a dragon and set me on fire.The carriage finally arrived at the house and Ana was the first one out, she didn't even wait for someone to open the door for her. Mother left next and I was hesitant behind her, taking a deep breath thinking that it may be my last.I finally got the courage to make my way inside. I thought that it was quiet as I approached the door and I hoped that Ana had simply gone upstairs to our room to change. I opened the door and took a step in only to find a lamp being hurled at me.

*Mature Content*Ana and I had limped our way to the back of the house where we found a half dozen bundles of hay to sleep on. It took some time for us to get comfortable, especially with Ana's foot and my neck both still throbbing in pain from our cuts. Ana complained for a good hour or so when we sat down "Oh shush. At least we aren't sleeping in the mud," I tilted my head a little to point out the fresh mud puddle a short ways from us.I finally came up with an idea for us to fall asleep, "Count the stars.""What?!" Ana brought herself up on her forearm to look at me before continuing her argument. "There's like a million!""Exactly," I chuckled, "It's like counting sheep, but if you did that, you would only count to two
Cinderella, Queen of Rats Two Bouquets?
* * *EllaIt has been three weeks since the royal ball and my dance with Prince Charles and not a moment went by when I wasn't daydreaming of the time that we spent together.I was making lunch for everyone when there was a knock on the door. I wiped my hands on my apron and headed to the front to answer it when I saw that Ana had already opened the door. Ever since Ana was put on house arrest she has been more attentive around the house."Good morning madam," I heard a familiar voice greet her and hurried my way to see if my inkling was correct."Mr. Thomas?" I peeked around Ana who was holding the door open."Ah, Ella! How splendid you are here,

*The morning after the ball*Maids and servants started cleaning up the castle from the ball last night as soon as all the guests had left. They found cups and napkins among spilled drinks and lost handkerchiefs. One maid had found a patch of fabric in a light pink color with some golden accents and looked at it thoughtfully. It was too small to be a kerchief so she wondered what it was."Gretchen?" She heard a fellow maid behind her."Good morning, Matilda," she greeted her with a friendly smile."What are you doing out here? I thought you were stationed in the kitchen?""I was just heading that way when this scrap of fabric caught my attention," Gretchen pulled out
