Well like I promised, a sydrian Cinderella musical story, and it will stay like that. That is my promise to you. So I hope you guys enjoy.

Sydney's POV

"SYDNEY!" Both my stepsister's call

"I'm coming," I call.

Everyday has been the same for the last five years.

My step mother and two of my stepsister's would call me and make me do work for them, from eight in the morning to ten at night. It has been like this since my father died. My father and I were living in debt trying to pay off the cost of my mother's funeral when she passed away. When I was fifteen years old, my father told me he remarried; he married a successful Physician in Palm Springs, Donna Stanton.

Donna had two daughters close to my age: Kristen and Julia; they are spoiled rotten and expect everyone to fall to their knees and bow down to them. My stepmother pays them no mind and ignores them pretty much. Donna sometimes treats me well, but when she gets angry she often takes it out on me. when my father passed away he left nothing for me, just that I stay with 'family' until I am able to financially support myself; Which my stepsister's wouldn't allow happen, since they 'need' a slave. I turned in a lot of resume's and job application's but Kristen and Julia thought it would be funny to call them and say I wouldn't make it. Step mother wouldn't do anything about it; she made me work for them because, well I guess she's angry that she has to put up with me.

So I'm pretty much trapped here, being a slave.

"SYDNEY!" They shouted again.

I rolled my eyes and made my way upstairs to Kristen and Julia's room, they shared surprisingly.

"Yes Kristen," I announced.

She thrusts some dresses in my arms.

"Take my dresses and wash them, if you ruin any of my silk and cashmere dresses you will have hell to pay," she says snobby.

"Ya, and here are my list of items I need from the store, and I want them in one hour, ONE hour you hear?" Julia orders.

"Yes Kristen, yes Julia," I simply say.

I gave up on trying to fight them.

"Sydney," my stepmother calls as I was making my way down the hall.

"When you are though, my office needs cleaning," she said then walks away.

Yep, gotta love my life.

Adrian's POV

"So, we are having a Halloween party huh? Will there be alcohol?" I asked Christian.

"Are girls, liquor, and cigarettes all you think about?" He snapps.

"Pretty much," I smirk.

When Christian and I first met we didn't really get along; simply because he thought I was trying to steal his girlfriend slash my cousin from him. But when the air was clear we developed a sort of friendship between us; I could almost say he was my best friend. Almost.

"Yeah, that's the Adrian we know and love," Rose quips when she came in. we were in my apartment in Palm Springs, just enjoying the October breeze.

"You got that right little Dhampir."

Following behind her was her boyfriend, Dimitri Belikov; to make a long story short: I dated Rose for a short while, she got in trouble with the law, they go on the run and during that time, made their relationship official.

At first I was hurt and angry about it all, but when I came out here to Palm Springs, it gave me a lot of time to think, and to get my life together; I decided to attend Carlton College and take art classes to distract myself from all the pain, art was like therapy. When I had thought about everything that's happened, I realized that what I felt for Rose was more of a attraction than true feelings; don't get me wrong , I still care for her a lot but that's all it is. So I moved on, but I still had to clear the air with them:

*Flashback*

"Listen, what you guy's did was hurtful to me, and I am upset by what has happened," I said.

"Lord Ivashkov, allow me to explain-," Dimitri tries to explain, but raised my hand to stop him.

"Please, let me finish," I continue.

"Despite what I have been through, and the pain that I endured; I am willing to forgive you both and to ask for YOUR forgiveness," I said.

"B-But I don't understand, all of this is my fault," Rose say's.

"No, I'm the one to blame; I knew about your feelings for each other and I knew that one day you would choose him over me. and I had no right to claim something that was already taken Both my mind and heart told me this, but I did not listen. So it was my own fault."

"So an exchange for my forgiveness, May I have yours?"

Rose comes over to embrace me.

"Of course I do, I'm so sorry Adrian, I never meant to hurt you," She says.

" I know."

I turn my head to Dimitri.

"I swear if you do anything to hurt Rose, if she so much as even sheds one tear because of you…..I will kill you," I say threatening.

"I wouldn't dare anger the great Lord Adrian Ivashkov," he smiles.

We shook hands as a sign of respect for one another.

*End of flashback*

Dimitri and I have been cool ever since.

"So, who's dressing up as what?"Christian asked.

"Ooh, Dimitri is dressing up as a cowboy sheriff, and I'm a sexy outlaw," Rose

"I'm going as Ghost Face," Christian says

"I'm going as Zorro," I say.

"Nice," Rose says.

"yep, which reminds me, I need to go get it; I'll see you guy's later."

Hope they don't sell out, I feel Spanish macho, this year.

I hope you guy's enjoyed the first chapter, please R&R.
