Not By the Book
This is a fairy tale like story featuring the sereis 6 mi high characters that I came up with after watching happily never after.
Zoe's POV
I ran through the cobbled streets, praying I could make it back home and finish my chores before my stepmother and stepsisters got home. My flaming red hair streamed out behind me, fluttering in the wind. I made it to the house and quickly unlocked the door and racing inside so I could finish the last jobs before they got back. I swept the floors, dusted the shelves, plumped the pillows, made the beds, washed the dishes and began to cook dinner.
Just as I began to pour the steaming hot soup in the the door banged open and the shouting began. "Zoe! Did you clean the pots? Did you make the beds? Did you do the washing" I heard my stepmother yell. 'The washing I forgot do do the washing' I thought, silently cursing. "Uh, yes! I'm just serving up dinner!" I shouted back. As I put the pot by the sink I saw my stormy grey eyes staring back at me and my red hair flowing down my back. I was brought back to reality as my stepfamily pranced into the room with their giant bustles following behind.
When they had settled down to dinner I fled to my room which doubled as both the laundry and the cellar also. I immediately began to run water into the wash trough and prepare the clothes for cleaning. I washed every spec of dirt off and scrubbed at all the stains.
Finally after I'd finished washing and hung all the clothes outside I collapsed on my poor excuse for a bed, my hands burning, and immediately fell asleep.
