Chapter 1 Meeting
Long ago in a kingdom far far away...
Bonnie wakes up and looks around her makeshift room. Well maybe today will be a better day. She grabs a bucket and her rag before she heads out to the shack to wash up. When she finishes that she goes inside her home which doesn't feel like home anymore. It's walls that were once filled with joy and laughter reduced to bitterness of her new family. Bonnie was thrilled when she had found out that her father had found another wife, but that is when everything in her life went downhill. Her new Stepmother Katherine moved in with her two daughters Rebekah and Sybil they were kind for two whole days before Bonnie's father grew ill. He passes the following night.
Katherine took over the whole house that next morning taking all of Bonnie's nice things and forcing her to live in the basement with nothing but rags. The staff could not stay and deal with Katherine and her daughters cruelty so they left which meant Bonnie was left to everything! The cleaning, the cooking, the washing, the feeding of the animals, and bathing them. Bonnie was not going to let any of this stop her from remaining true to her heart one day she would go after her dreams. Little did Bonnie know that day was coming very soon.
Bonnie went into the kitchen grabbed a teapot to put over the fire. She starts making breakfast knowing the others would be up soon. While she cooks she hums the song her mother had sang to her when she was upset. Soon breakfast is on the table as is the tea Bonnie hears noise upstairs. She busies herself with dusting the top of the fireplace in the next room. "Bonnie!" She hears her stepmother call from the kitchen. She rushes in nearly bumping into Sybil, "Watch where your going." She says before she sits across from her sister. "Yes, stepmother?" Katherine looks at her then at the food in front of her. "Bonnie how am I suppose to eat this when I have not a single utensil in front of me?" Bonnie says nothing and gets the silverware and tea cups out. "Anything else stepmother?" Bonnie asks as she stands far away.
"Yes, we're all going into town to do some shopping." Bonnie smiles, "I get to go too?" Katherine looks at her and smirks, "Of course who else will carry the bags?" Bonnie's smile fades. Rebekah and Sybil laugh. "Now go find something to wear in that basement and fetch the Coachmen."
Bonnie nods and leaves heading to the basement to change. She dresses in a green maid outfit she ties her long hair back with a piece of cloth. She leaves the basement and heads out to the Coach men's house he lives a short walk away. She knocks lightly on his door and waits. "Hello Bonnie." Bonnie looks up at the Coachmen otherwise known as "Stefan, umm would you mind giving my step family and I a ride to the village?" Stefan smiles, "Finally getting out of that house huh?" Bonnie smiles proudly. "Yes, I am." Stefan nods. "Of course just let me tell Caroline that I'm leaving I shall meet you back your front gate." Bonnie nods thanks him and leaves heading back home.
When she gets there she sees Katherine, Sybil and Rebekah waiting. "Well, I guess that is the best you can do." Her stepmother says as she fans herself. Soon Stefan arrives with the carriage. He gets down and opens the door. Katherine goes up first than her daughters. "Sorry no more room in here." Rebekah says as she flips a some of her golden locks back. "That's fine she can sit next to me." Stefan helps her on the front of the carriage before getting on himself. They ride to the village.
When they arrive everyone gets off and Katherine turns to Stefan giving him a look over, "Wait here, we'll be done soon." Stefan nods then shoots Bonnie a smiles that her step family misses. Bonnie quicken her pace to keep up with them. They visit several shops buying ridiculous clothes and shoes. Bonnie is left with carrying it.
"Come along now girls." As she leads them to a different part of the village. "Hurry up." Rebekah says to Sybil. "Move it!" She looks over her shoulder at Bonnie who is now running to keep up. They stop in front of a hat shop Bonnie pays them no mind as she watches the kids puppet show a few steps away. She doesn't hear the commotion behind her other hand her stepmother saying how can she choose between such lovely daughters. Bonnie rolls her eyes. "Bonnie. Bonnie!" Rebekah says. Bonnie jumps a bit and turns around. "Yes?"
"What do you think does it look better on me?" She poses with the hideous feather hat on her head. "Or me?" Sybil snatches it off her head placing it on hers. "Well I don't know that much about hats, but I don't think it flatters either one of you." Her stepsister gasp. "What did you ask her for?" Sybil says glaring at Bonnie. "She don't know a thing she said so herself." Then Rebekah snatches the hat off her sisters head. They have a tug of war over it and cry to their mother then they head inside. Bonnie looks back at the puppet show she sighs.
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear
are still inside my head
the kindest words I'll ever know
are waiting to be said
the most entrancing sight of all
is yet for me to see
and the dearest love in all the world
is waiting somewhere for me
Is waiting somewhere
somewhere for me
"Bonnie!" She turns around to see that her stepmother holding bags she takes them. "Have you ever seen such a lazy girl in your life?" Sybil says. As Bonnie walks past her. "Who are you calling lazy?" Rebekah exclaims. Sybil shakes her head. "Not you stupid Bonnie." They continue to walk as Bonnie gathers the other things they purchased then quickly follows when to the square. There also someone else there with dreams just like Bonnie, but who?
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear
are still inside my head
the kindest words I'll ever know
are waiting to be said
the most entrancing sight of all
is yet for me to see
and the dearest love in all the world
is waiting somewhere for me
is waiting somewhere
somewhere for me
They walk past him and the two are oblivious to one another. Rather odd when they are so close!
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear
Are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know, are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all, is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me (waiting somewhere)
Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me
Bonnie gasps and takes a step back as she was almost run over by the a royal carriage. "Are you alright, miss?" The man asks as helps her pick up the items that had fell. "Yes, I'm fine." Bonnie says as she gets everything. "Just like those bloody Royals not caring if their in anyone's way." Bonnie takes the hat he handed her. "Well I'm sure they were going somewhere very important." The man chuckles "I doubt it." The pair make eye contact for the first time Bonnie smiles, "Thanks for your help." She stands and walks away. The man stands and follows her. "Wait, what's your name?" Without facing him. "Bonnie."
"I beg your pardon?" Bonnie turns to face him. "Bonnie like Lonnie, but with a B." The man nods and smiles, "Ah, Bonnie. I like it." Bonnie shrugs, "It grows on you I guess. Excuse me." She walks away again. "Tell me Bonnie what would a man have to do to find himself is your good graces?" The keeps walking, "Who wants to know?" He matches her pace. "Well lets just say a rather charming stranger?" Bonnie raises a brow still walking. "Well this charming stranger seems rather full of himself, but he's have to get to know me a lot better than some random girl he met on the street." The man is in front of her walking backwards until he bumps into a cart. Bonnie gasps.
"Oh my. I'm not sure I want to meet this stranger. I doubt he knows the way a girl is to be treated." The man catches up. "Like a princess, I guess." Bonnie stops in her tracks and turns to him. "No, like a person with kindness and respect." The man tilts his head. "Your not like other girls." Bonnie looks at him calmly. "How do you mean?" He holds a hand up. "Nothing I didn't mean to offend you." They look away for awhile. "That's alright, it's just that I've lived a pretty sheltered life." The man smiles "So have I." Bonnie looks at him in disbelief. "Really?" He nods. "Everyday it's the same old routine." Bonnie nods, "Until you want to runaway and never come back." He says that last part with her. They smile at each other.
"I thought I told you to never to talk to strangers!" Bonnie's eyes widen as she walks around him to her step family. "I'm so sorry stepmother." Bonnie looks back at him. "I do hope to see you again, Bonnie." He smiles and leaves. "Wandering off with those packages what are you doing?!" Katherine yells and walks away the others follow, Bonnie stays awhile.
The most entrancing sight of all
is yet for me to see
and the dearest love in all the world
is waiting somewhere for me
is waiting somewhere
somewhere for me
"BONNIE!" Her stepmother yells and she follows this time. She just missed the man she was talking to step into a Royal carriage on it's way back to the castle.
