I do it to protect her. Keep her locked up, she should stay away from the world. I don't want her to get hurt, end up like her mother.
What?
You've never wondered: "What happened to Cinderella's mother?" Well, I'm going to tell you...
She was a young mother, only 15 but a good one, never the less. Cinderella, what an innocent child. Why did it happen to her? Oh and her mother, Janey, what a lovely woman, why did he pick her? I suppose it was her looks, always attracted the men or wolves! And her hair, long, black and flowing, with big blue eyes, she was what you would call, irresistible., the perfect daughter. We told the world she died in child birth. But this is what really happened... I believe its better known as the story of Red Riding Hood.
It was a windy day, no one around, just after the birth of dear Cinderella. Janey was walking through the woods, alone. She took a shortcut, thinking it would be quicker. This was a decision that would cost her, her life.
She was on the way to my house, I was suffering from cancer at the time. I suppose, you could say it was my fault, but I would never do anything to hurt her. He took her by surprise, the wolf. Jumped up at her from behind. They talked, as in the story you know and Janey continued her journey, like nothing had happened. The wolf ran ahead to my house, where he locked me up in the cupboard.
Later Janey came knocking at the door, the wolf let her in. I tried to warn her, I promise I did. But it was too late, the wolf pounced, ripping at her arm, tearing her skin. I punched my way out of the cupboard. And joined Janey's side. Janey shoved me onto the bed, said I was in no fit state to fight.
It all happened to quickly, the huntsman came, saw blood and fainted. How useful and heroic he was! Janey saw the door and I mouthed at her to run. She hit the wolf round the head and then limped out of the door, leaving a trail of blood behind her. I stabbed the wolf with a knife from the kitchen and ran outside to join Janey. But it was to late she had already gone, off into the forest.
No one ever saw her after that day, maybe she was eaten, died of blood loss, or maybe she is still out there. Cinderella is like my daughter and I cant risk loosing another daughter, I do it all for her. But no one appreciates it.
Cinderella has gone now to live with the Prince, I wish her well. My other daughters have left me, said I wasn't good enough.
So now I've got nothing left to live for. I put the gun to my head and pulled the trigger.
Its all for you Janey, all for you.
