Once upon a time there was a wealthy man named Andrew Borden he was a very successful business man. Him and his family lived in Fall River Massachusetts, in the business part of town so that way he was close to his businesses. During the late 1840's Andrew bought a house on 92second street before his wife Sarah had there children.But in the winter of 1877 Sarah died of a rare disease. Robert was 12 years old at the time of his mothers death and Lizzie was 2 and a half. Robert is outgoing tall about 6'1 and is very handsome has green eyes and looks like his father. Lizzie's is about 5'6 has red hair, blue eyes and is her fathers little princess and is very girlie. Andrew is tall just like Robert and has gray hair with a beard and has green eyes. Andrew loved his children very much. They were a happy family but, as they began to grow their father knew that they needed a mother. So he remarried two years after Sarah had passed away to Abby who had, also been widowed and had two daughters one was his daughter Lizzie ages. For the first time in a long while Robert and Lizzie felt like their family was completed. Even if they did think their stepsisters where brats. Sadly their happiness did not last. Their father soon fell to cancer dieing six months later. Robert and Lizzie where devastated they had just lost there mother 14 years earlier and now there dear father. Now they had to live with there stepmother.

A year after his father's death Robert went off to college only being able to visit home three times a year. While Robert was at college Lizzie stayed with her step family. College may have been going great for Robert but at home it was the opposite for Lizzie. She had become the household servant.

"Lizzie!! what is taking you so long" yelled her stepmother. As she stood at her floor link mirror putting in, her ruby earrings that matched her Victorian area dress.

Lizzie ran into the room dressed in a navy blue bengalese silk dress, that she had had for the past 2 years it was know longer pretty and beautiful, but over the two years the color began to fade. Her long red hair was up and pulled back into a braided bun.

"I'm sorry I was getting ready for school" said Lizzie as she stood in the door way almost out of breath.

"School you're not going to school any more laughed stepmother as she faced Lizzie, with a look that made Lizzie take a step back.

"What!?" shouted Lizzie as she took another step back almost in the door way.She couldn't believe what she was hearing she must have herd it wrong or something.

"Don't you take that tone with me" yelled stepmother. "you're not going and that's that" said the stepmother putting her hands on her hips.

"Fine" said Lizzie as tears filled her bright blue eyes all most running down her checks. She wouldn't cry here,she wouldn't let her stepmother see how much she was hurt and upset.

Lizzie just couldn't believe this If her father was still alive he would tell her it's was going to be OK, and that she wouldn't have to do this anymore but he was dead he had been dead for a year.

"Now go help your stepsisters for school" said her stepmother waving her hand towards the door.

As Lizzie was walking down the hall she just burst into tears she just couldn't believe she was being treated this way she was helpless

"Did you get my homework done" asked Emma as she looked in her hand mirror as Lizzie was fixing her hair.

"Yes I stayed up all night doing your litterateur project" said Lizzie as she got done, putting Emma's long black raven hair into a French bun.Since Emma was taller then Lizzie about 5'9 Lizzie had to stand on a chair to do her hair.

When Lizzie got done with her hair Emma looked in her vanity mirror to make shore it was perfect. Her light brown dress matched her light brown eyes. Emma is also very proper just like a young women was expected to act.

"Hay Lizzie how do I look" asked Kate as she spun around in a bright blue dress.Also causing her beach blond hair that was in curls(that day) to go around her head as well. Kate is complete opposite of Emma,she is all girl witch is also how young Lady's are to act. And has dark green eyes.

"You look great" replied Lizzie as she rolled her eyes. She new that if she didn't tell her that Kate would go tell her mother and she would be in for it.

"Ready for school girls" asked the stepmother as she came into the big bedroom.

The stepmother is 5'3 has black hair just like Emma has gray eyes and is very mean to Lizzie.

"What about Lizzie?" asked Emma as she looked at Lizzie.

"She won't be going anymore" she replied coldly slamming the door after her.

Lizzie stood there for a few moments as fresh tears filled her eyes.
