One year after being married Cinderella discovered that the prince had only married her so he could become king and once he was he divorced her and sent her back to live with her stepmother and step sisters. Once she arrived back at her old house. She was instantly greeted by 3 evil smirks curtsey of her step family, who each were glad she was back and just in time to clean up the huge mess that had risen from her year of absence believing to be in love to only find she was been used.
Cinderella was tired and heart broken she had finally finished cleaning the place, which took one month without a single wink of sleep or a second of rest. Presently she was walking through the market place wearing her usual rags only with more tares in them she had just picked up the last thing on her shopping list and was on her was bag when she suddenly felt incredibly dizzy and fell to the ground unconscious and fruit and veg had fallen out of her basket. She was out for 2 hours and still no one stopped to help the young tired girl. She was then shook really gently and she slowly awoke and saw a red headed girl crouched next to her tired form with one hand on her shoulder the other hand holding her basket with the retrieved items within it.
"Err…hello what happened?" Asked a confused and groggy Cinderella who still had dark circles under her blood red eyes.
"i should be asking you that" said the red headed girl, her voice full of kindness
"s...sorry i guess...i'm just tired..." cinderella then let out a big yawn and stumbled to her feet and took the basket from the red headed girl
"i'd say" she said in a joking voice which somehow still was full with kindness
cinderella the let out a nervouse laugh before yawning once again
"well...i'm bloom whats your name" bloom inquired
"c...conderella" said she said yawning in mid sentence
bloom's face instantly darkened upon hearing the girls name
"your the girl who's a servant to her own family (bloom's face got even darker before lighting up a bit)...well if you, want to be leave that life you could always come with me and leave them
cinderella gave bloom and uncertain look
"atleast think about it okay" bloom said as she turned and walked in an opposite direction
cinderella was still partly stunned from the offer but then she saw the time and realised how much trouble she was in, she instantly ran back home taking care not to drop any of the food.
once she stepped through the door and placed the basket on the table her stepmother came out from the shadows and struck cinderella with her cane and continued to strike her even after she began to bleed, she then didn't stop until the floor was nearly covered in cinderella's blood.
"that should teach you not stay out for hours when you are on an eran...now clean up this mess" yelled the step mother before she left she through the mop at cinderella and then left her. just as she left the kitchen she had a big evil smile on her face.
cinderella then used the mop to get back to her feet and began to mop up the blood while using it stay on her feet, she then realised that as she continued to mop up the blood that more was spilling out making it more of a mess. her tears then finally came and dripped onto the bloody floor and mixed with the blood making it even harder to clean up.
after about 3 hours of mopping up her own blood and tears the floor was clean and her wound was closed, she then headed through the doorway to find her step mother and sisters sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
"cinderella...clean the fire place" said her step mother her eyes full of hatred
cinderella kept her bruised and cut face down and made her way to the fire place, upon reaching it she bended down to put out the fire so that she could clean it clean it and doing so opened her loarge wound on her mid front and the blood was once again soaked up in the rags, cinderella instantly grabbed her waist to try and stop the blood from seeping through, upon her hesatation due to the pain from her cut, her stepmother struck her rear with her cane causing her to fall head first into the still lit fire, she instantly pullewd her head back in pain and quickly dumped her head in a bucket of water that was kepte next to the fire to put it out. everyone around her instantly broke out into laught except the stepmother who only smirked at the inured and traumatized girl as she pulled her head out of the bucket of water. her head smoked smoked from being set a lite then she gazed into the bucket to see something frightful and realised it was her own reflection, three quaters of her hair had been burned off, both eyes were black and not just from sleep, her lip was cut and bleeding and there were several cuts down her cheeks that let blood out and begin to stream down her face, she closed her eyes in horror as she realised she looked like something from the worst of nightmares.
