Cinderella
(The Annihilation)
The scent of roses and blood overwhelmed the cold, ill natured air, the aura of melancholy and sorrow embracing the two of them. "Mother… Please don't die on me…" she held her mother's hand and wept besides her. "Hush, my beloved daughter. I will soon be gone, but whenever you need me… just call and I will surely help from the heavens…" her mother said, her gentle frail hand soothing her daughter's hair.
Present...
It has been 7 years since her mother died and 7 years when her father remarried. Her step mother referred as Lady Tremaine has two female daughters, Drizella Tremaine the older daughter followed by Anastasia Tremaine, the younger one. They are both almost the same age as her only a year or two older. They lived in luxury and married her father just so they can once again have the riches that they once lost. They have been treating her as a slave, doing dreadful chores for them. Her step mother captured her father, seducing him towards doing her every desire.
"Cinders!" Drizella called from her room. That is the name used to call her, as the ashes or remains of after what the fire has burned. Cinders straightened her tattered clothes and head towards Drizella's room, her dark hair tied into a high ponytail; her beautiful crystal like silver eyes glinted with melancholy and is almost emotionless.
She held the knob tight in her hands and felt the coldness crept us her hand. She turned the knob and saw her beautiful step sister combing her elegant navy blue hair in front of the mirror. "Cinders, fix the curtain and make my bed. Wake Master Drake up and give him his clothes, I don't want him to get caught by mother." She said, referring to the fellow in her bed, lying naked and is only clothed with the bed sheets.
"Yes Drizella." She politely answered. She lowered her head as she walked away from her step sister and fixed the velvet curtains, tying it with golden colored ropes and clipping it on the sides of the windows, allowing the bright light pass through the dim room. The warmth of the morning sun caressed Drake's check and he opened his eyes, and then squinted at the sudden bright light beaming at his eyes.
His eyes adjusted at the light and caught a sight of a beautiful dark haired girl fixing the curtains before him, her fair skin as if it's sparkling once hit by the sun rays. She gracefully tiptoed, growing impatient with her lack of height which has been a huge inconvenience for her. She continued to fix the curtains while Drake was amused by watching her struggle with her task.
"Who is she Drizella?" Drake asked as he sat up, the blanket sliding down his chest towards his lap. "She's our servant." Drizella coldly answered as she applied face powder in her cheeks. Drake once again turned towards Cinders who is currently gathering his clothes. "She is a beauty, a shame that she's just a maid." He said with a smirk.
Cinders didn't react at what Master Drake just said but she just continued to gather his clothes. She neatly folded the Baron's uniform then handed it to him. Drake swiftly held Cinders' hand and tugged her close to him, his violet eyes meeting hers. "Can you just dress me instead?" he whispered. Drizella stood up and faced Drake, her hands on her hips.
"That isn't allowed Master Drake, that is crossing the line." She ranted. Drake smiled then let go of Cinders' hand. Drizella approached the Baron and leaned towards him, kissing Drake vividly while looking at Cinders with a triumphant expression. Cinders placed the Baron's clothes at the edge of the bed, bowed then left the room.
