Hello everyone! This is a story based off of the old Russian Tale, "Jack Frost" with obvious changes to it. I hope you enjoy and I always appreciate feedback!
Once upon a time, a long time ago, lived a beautiful young Russian maiden with her father, step mother and two step sisters. The beautiful maidens name was Talia, and her sister's names were Adina and Anila.
Talia was the eldest, and like most stories, was greatly disliked by her step-mother. From dawn until dusk poor Talia was chided by her step-mother, and always given more work than she should have to do. Always to bring wood to heat the stoves, wash the floors, feed the chickens, milk the cows, brush the horses, clean the carriage, fed the pigs, and numerous other things.
Her sisters on the other hand, never had to do any work and were always pampered and expected to look their best for possible suitors. However, no matter what the girl did, her step-mother was never satisfied, always telling her how lazy she was, and how the farm was never in order, and other small things that don't really matter. Talia was always drowning around her step-mother, and constantly had to bite her tongue, to keep her quick wit else she get in more trouble.
She hoped to find solace with the twins however only Anila was the only nice one and tried to help Talia as best as she could.
As the years went on the girls, grew up to be beautiful women, and all were soon thinking of marriage.
The father, who was anxious to find them all good husbands, adored Talia and did not want to part with his kind and loving girl; the step-mother however wanted to be rid of her as soon as possible.
Her beauty out shined her girls and she feared her daughters would never marry, if Talia was always around. She did not care what way Talia left, but so that the suitors would look at only her daughters.
However many men had asked for Talia's hand in marriage but she did not care for any of them and never accepted their hand in marriage. No suitors had asked for her daughter's hands in marriage and this upset the step-mother greatly. She knew she had to get rid of Talia and soon and knew what she must do.
I hope you enjoyed the prologue and I'll update with the next chapter in a few weeks. I plan on working on my other stories here soon so bear with me if you are following my other stories.
