Hello! I'm Sorenity4eva or as some of you know me as Sora, and I'm here to introduce my new story called Happily Ever After. Okay commence the traditional start.

Cinderella Part 1

Max P.O.V

"Max! Get your sleepy ass up here! My hair doesn't brush itself!" I groaned, that was one of my step sisters Lissa, yes she is and always be a biotch.

Anyways back to my groaning, I pulled my pillow over my head. Then I heard an ear drum popping scream, "Max! Get over here or I'll tell daddy!" screamed Bridget

I shot out of bed and got the rags of clothes I had and trudged up the basement stairs. Yes, I live in a freaking basement.

I walked up to Lissa and Bridget and said, "Okay which comb do you want to use, the pink, blue, or green rhinestone one?" said trying to blink the sleep out of my eyes.

"We want the green one." they said in unison, I nodded and got to work.

As you can see, I'm my step sisters' slave, and if I disobey they'll tell my step dad and he'll beat me or worse. It seems like every time I disobey the punishments get worse, so I learned to suck it up and listen.

My mother used to live with me and I lived happily, until Jeb, my step dad, came into her life along with his daughters. When I was eleven, I'm currently seventeen, my mom got diagnosed with a fast acting cancer and didn't make it. That's when my life took turns for the worst.

"Max? Remember 100 brushes per head, I want to impress Nick Venom today, you just… be your ugly self." Lissa said with a face of disgust.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about me."I said with a scowl. Then the doorbell rang.

"Max get the door!" I sighed and opened the door, there was Kevin, the awesome mailman, with a message.

"Hey Max. Honey, get this message out to the rest of your family, Nicholas Venom is holding a large birthday party tomorrow. Every one that's sixteen or seventeen is invited." I nodded and said thanks, "Oh, no problem honey. You know, you should really go, I heard he's looking for a date." I shook my head, "Oh no, I'd rather not, bye Kevin." I said really quickly and I shut the door.

"Who was that?" Bridget asked, "It was the mailman, Nick is having a birthday party tomorrow and everyone sixteen and seventeen can go." I called back, I heard squealing.

I sighed and did a face-palm.

"Max! We're going dress shopping! You're going to be holding out bags, so hurry up! We might even let you buy new clothes if you get here in two minutes." Lissa said.

I immediately ran to my room and threw on a shirt and jeans, and ran up the stairs, down the hall, took a right, then a left ad ended up at the front door.

Did I mention that we were kind of rich, well Jeb and the girls are, I live off my savings.

Anyways we got to the mall and the worst thing possible happened, we ran into Nick/Fang Venom himself.

Well, I did, Lissa and Bridget were in a dress shop at the other end of the mall.

"Oh hello Tooth." I said turning around and walking the opposite direction. Then he grabbed my shoulder, "Max is it?" he smirked.

I rolled my eyes, "He actually bothers to remember my name. What an achievement." Fang smirked yet again, "I know, I try my best."

I take his hand off my shoulder, "You look even uglier than usual, and ugh where did you get those clothes, hm my little piglet?" he said.

Then I snapped, that was the nickname my mom used to call me, I whirled around and growled in his ear, "You don't know what I've been through, so shut up and get out of my life."

Then I stalked off, not even waiting to see the probable shocked expression on his face.

You know what's worse, he's my freaking neighbor.

Fang P.O.V

Max whirled around and growled into my ear, "You don't know what I've been through."

Then I felt fear and understanding.

I can hear her step sisters' demands, her screaming for mercy in the middle of the night, and most of all the crying in the middle of the night that I hear from a small window near the top of the basement.

I know about the abuse and the enslavement of Maximum Ride, but I've never said anything, knowing that it wasn't my business.

But why do I feel the urge to help now? I don't know.

I was walking around the mall aimlessly when I found Max in the corner curled up and crying.

I walked up to her and asked, "Max, are you okay? What happened?"

She lifted her head to see blood dripping from her mouth and her arm and a pool of it underneath her.

She whispered, "Dylan." and she slipped out of consciousness.

"Max? Max! Stay with me, come on. Someone please call 911!" two thoughts where running through my head.

Save Max!

How come no one bothered to notice?

Okey dokey done! I know weird twist, and on the first chapter? I'm just awesome that way, plus I just winged it, I'm naturally a fast paced writer/reader with short drama filled chapters. :)

R&R?
