A/N: So I know it's a little short, but it's a start.
IMPORTANT: Ok, I know It has been a little long since I have updated my other stories. But don't worry. They will all be updated soon. I am having a case of I know what I want to happen, but I can't seem to write it down.
Well I hope you all enjoy it...

With her father dead, Ella did not know what would become of her, being only twelve at the time. Her step family were all extremely cruel, and when her father had not been around, they would make her do chores. Usually they would be the ones that were used as punishments for those misbehaving servants.

Now Ella did not like this situation whatsoever. Who would? But she had more defiance in her that her step-family thought. She was planning her escape before her fathers illness had become perilous. She vowed to herself, that her step family would get their comeuppance.

Soon after her father passed, Ella's stepmother remarried. The man was cruel more so than the rest of her step-family, and used her to no end. Her dresses, which had been given to her stepsisters, were replaced by even more extravagant ones. And hers were to be replaced by even worse rags. He would make her clean the fire place once a week, her hair and face were constantly covered by a thin layer of ash, and he had taken to calling her Cinders.

Months passed and then years, she worked constantly from dawn till after dusk, as her defiance grew. More years went by, along with it came her eighteenth birthday, and the day she would leave, and never return to that horrid dreary house.

A/N: You all know the Drill R/R!! :D
Ps. I forgot to say that I don't own anything at all. That would be the Brothers Grim and Disney!!
Love you all!
