I do not own - Cinderella or The Slipper and The Rose
"Annabella, wake up..."
I suddenly realized that those few minutes turned into hours.
"Annabella, you need to get up and get ready."
"Ready for what?"
"The ball."
I sat up. My hand had calm down.
I saw Cinderella past my room with these three amazing dresses. One in a light purple, one in gold and one in peach.
"Cinderella, where is my dress."
"Cinderella where is my dress?"
"Cinderella where is my dress?"
"I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming"
I pulled the door to and started to get ready.
I sat at my dresser, applying bracelets, earrings and make-up. There was a knock at the door
"Come in." I slowly turned around.
It was Cinderella.
"My step-mother told me to come to you. She thought you might need some help.
"Could you do my hair, I have no clue what to do with it."
She did this amazing Georgian hairstyle with some ringlets to the side.
"It's perfect. Thank you Cinderella."
"You're welcome. One question why are you so nice to me?"
"I don't see why I can't be?"
"Cinderella, i believe Palatine has asked for you. Now!"
"Yes Step-Mother."
"Annabella you look beautiful."
"So do you Auntie Claudia."
I picked up a black box from my trunk. It contain a silver locket. Auntie Claudia placed it around my neck. This locket has never been open. There's no key, no way of opening it by force. It's a mystery.
"Girls are we ready to leave."
"Yes, Mother"
"Yes, Mother"
"Cinderella, do make yourself useful."
"Bye Cinderella."
We left her behind.
