a/n here it is! The beginning of the main characters. No this isn't the "beginning" of where the story starts, but a history of how the girls came to be in their "current" position of house servants to their own family…now let us begin!…
Tragic Beginnings
Crying, one young, beautiful, baby girl came into this world, and breathed in the pure fresh air of life. Only to be followed, unknowingly, by yet another life. Another baby girl came, crying her way, into this seemingly welcoming world. "Two!? Two!" was all that the skeptical bystanders could say to the second child, for they though only one child was to be born. But two were, and so the father and mother openly embraced both children. Naming them Cinderella and Cinderelle. The mother, weak from birth, rested her body to gain back strength, while the babes are taken care of. The father sat nearby listening to his new daughters coos and smiling down on his wife.
The family lived a happy life. The father and mother loved each other, and loved both their daughters equally as much. And the daughters, they were growing into quite the beauties. Both had perfect golden hair that fell around their shoulders, blue eyes that entrapped all that looked into them, and personalities both wonderful, charming, and still different form one another. This, too, was only at the tender age of three or four. Then, tragedy struck in the once happy family. The mother became ill with fever, and laid at her deathbed. All the poor family could do was sit, hope, give their medical attention, and pray that she would make it through, and live to see her two daughters grow up. Alas, she did not, and she died leaving her happy family to grieve.
The father was a kind man, and he knew his daughters needed a loving mother to look up to who would teach them the ways of a proper lady. He only wanted to best for his two angels. So he set off to find a good wife. Soon he found his wife, she just wasn't quite the "good" person she always looked to be. Nonetheless, the woman had two girls about Cinderella and Cinderelle's age, and she seemed nice when he was around. So he married the woman, and they became a family of six. Then, once again, tragedy struck.
This time, it was the father. Once again, the evil fever struck, and it struck hard on the father. He lay in bed, not being able to move he was so weak, complaining of seeing things and hearing things that weren't there, in other words hallucinating, a heavy fever was present, and he couldn't remember his own daughters names sometimes. While he was at death's door, though he told his daughters to make him a promise.
"No matter what, you must always promise to love and take care of your step mother and step sisters. I know they may not always me the best, but they are family, and I want you to love them like I had loved them. Promise me" he said weakly.
"We promise" simultaneously said Cinderella and Cinderelle with tears in their eyes. With-in a day after their promise, their loving father had died. So Cinderella and Cinderelle were left to live with their step-family, and much to their dismay, they found their new family cared nothing for them. They were, in reality, wicked people, and the mother only married their father for the money. Now, now that he was gone and left them with two despicable girls to take care of, now what? 'Of course!' thought the evil step-mother, 'we shall keep them, but they shall be nothing more than servants. Besides, Anita and Hilda are always complaining they need some servants, the wretched girls would be good servants now wouldn't they!' so that's what happened. Cinderella and Cinderelle were stripped from all their valuable possessions, left with rags and what the wicked step-family would give them, and a few possessions they secretly hid away. They were turned into slaves to toil with work for their own step-family. But, they vowed to keep to their father's last wishes and respected their step's orders. They even learned how to abide to their new life style.
So now, my dear friends, you know how Cinderella and Cinderelle came to be in their current position in life. Serving none other than the ones that should be caring for them. So with the history now up to date, let us join the two sisters in their room after another mornings work is done…
