It was storming outside, Rain pouring down heavily upon the streets of a small Mistral city, A girl with black hair leaning over one side of her shoulder and golden eyes watched the water drip down the glass in front of her, Each drop matching the water that slided down her face. "Cinder! Get in here!" A older woman's harsh voice called out. The girl wiped her tears away and took one more look at the sun starting to rise over the raining horizon before heading off into the kitchen. A single thought lingered in her mind. "I want to be strong, Not flicker before I could burn."
Inside the kitchen, The older woman sat at the large oak dining table with her two daughters. All looking at Cinder with contempt. "Hurry up Cinder!" The woman exclaimed in anger, Watching the girl pour water into the teapot and set it over a stove to boil. She stood perfectly still while waiting. Knowing never to speak without being addressed directly. It took a few minutes for the water to be ready before she took it and filled the cups.
The older woman took a single sip and spit it out, Becoming furious with Cinder, A vicious beating followed, She spilt her still boiling tea over the girl, Followed by the water from the teapot and after scalding her, Proceeded to violently attack and assault the young girl as her daughters in glee. Another thought crossed Cinder's mind. "I want to be feared, Never mistreated."
A few hours later, Cinder was sitting in her dingy bedroom, More like a prison. It had a bed and nothing more, Not even a window, The girl was cut with massive bruises all over. The cruel woman had taken her daughters out for the day and locked Cinder inside. This struck the third thought into her mind. "I want to be free, Like the wind, Not shackled to the ground." All the while, She was completely unaware that her feelings of misery and strife were felt by a ominous being who lurked close by in the shadows.
A few weeks past, Still Cinder silently prayed for the power to change, Though it seemed her pleas went unanswered. Until one fateful night, While cleaning the stables outside, She had a life changing encounter. A tall slim mysterious woman approached her that night, Her face hidden beneath the thick black hood, Cinder could just barely make out two flashes of red in the darkness, It filled her with a eerie feeling. "Who... Who are you?" The girl asked fearfully.
The dark woman smirked unseen under the shadows cloaking her face. "Young Cinder, I have heard your cries for help and came to fulfil them, Consider me your guardian angel, I will give you the strength you wish and ask only one thing in return." The strange figure said calm and cool.
Cinder couldn't believe her ears. A guardian angel, So her pleas were going answered after all, It filled her with a unimaginable relief. Without regret, She approached the woman. "Yes! I want power, I want strength, I want to be feared." She replied. Rising her head as she now stood directly in front of the hooded lady. Watching the woman reach up and raise her hood off her head, Revealing a colourless face, Lined with black lines, Glowing red eyes and the purest white hair tyed in various small buns surrounding her head. Her appearance gave Cinder a shiver, Just like the monsters who killed her father, The Grimm, But there was also a alluring sense of power around her.
The woman held out her pale hand with clawed nails to the girl. "Then come with me child, And I shall give you what you want and in exchange... You shall serve me..." She said, Watching the girl look in thought about the deal, Power in exchange for service, But she agreed and took the woman's hand, Being lead away into the darkness away from her eternal nightmare. At last she was free from the pain and misery.
They arrived at another place. Darker then a moonless night, Cinder had no idea where they were, But she still found it be more comforting then her apparent home, She looked around as they approached a black building, She followed her guardian quietly into her new home.
Many years past since that night, Cinder, No longer a child had grown into a mature woman of 20, Trained harshly day in and day out by her saviour, Now the time had come to snuff out the source of her pain, At the request of her master, She returned her past home, Dressed in a short red dress and black heels and armed with black daggers, She destroyed the door with a single strike, Quickly finding her cruel stepfamily.
The three woman glared at her in contempt, But expressions soon changed when the stepmother fell bloody and lifeless at her daughters feet, Cinder's blade coaxed in her essence. They attempted to flee, But it did no good, She hunted them down, Ending them with swift clean strikes, She felt a weight lifted from her shoulders with them all gone. Turning away, She left the now empty house, Heading back towards her master, A smile plastered on her face, From this day on, She would be strong and feared. The world would know, She wasn't born a monster, The world made her a monster and now they would suffer for it.
