I do not own - The Slipper and the Rose or Cinderella

I was lying on my bed, I didn't know what to do. I was in love.

knock, knock, the door slightly opened.

"Can I come in."

She came and sat on my bed.

"What's wrong?"

I didn't answer.

"Is it about yesterday."

"Leave me alone."

She left. Cinderella was coming up the stairs.

"Cinderella, can you get Annabella to talk."

"I'll try Step-Mother."

She came in. She held her hand out. I placed mine on top and gradually sat up.

"She is going to kill me." tears flowed down my face.

"Hear you go." she gave me my handkerchief.

"How about this, I get you ready and then we will talk."

"Ok."

She undid my hair from last night. I was still in my dress from last night.

We walked from my room to the garden and sat on her Father's bench.

"What happened last night Annabella."

"We fell in love"

"With who?"

"Like you don't know"

"I don't"

"Maybe Princess Icongita will tell me. I know it was you."

"You can't tell anyone."

"I know that. I'm happy for you."

"Why did you leave him?"

"He believe's I'm the long-lost Princess of Euphrania because I got Dominic to sit."

"That doesn't prove anything"

"That's what i said."

"Do you love him?"

"Yes"

"Well then he will look for you"

Cinderella went back inside. I stayed in the Garden.

"Step-Mother, i have talked to her."

"What did she say."

"Prince Daniel and Annabella have fallen in love but Prince Daniel claims that Annabella is the long-lost Princess of Euphrania."

"Does she believe it."

"No without prove she doesn't."

"Thank you Cinderella."

"Mother, Mother, there is news"

"Isobella calm down and tell me."

"Prince Edward is letting anyone try the glass slipper and who ever fits it will marry Prince Edward."

"This is brilliant news does Palatine know."

"Yes she's on her way"

"Mother, Mother"

"Palatine, i know dear"

"Isobella, I was going to tell her"

"Now now, girls when every girl has tried it you can try the glass slipper."

"But Mother"

"Now, excuse me I'm going to talk to Annabella."

"Cinderella, make yourself useful"

"What you looking at Cinderella?"

"Nothing"

"Don't you think of trying the slipper."

"Why would i? I wasn't at the ball"

"Annabella! Annabella"

"Auntie Claudia"

"Cinderella told me everything" she sat next to me"

"He believe's i'm the Princess of Euphrania. Is that true?"

"You can't be"

"Why not?"

"Because Princess of Euphrania died in a fire at the age of 4 years old"

"So why is he still looking for her? Why does he believe i'm her?"

"I don't know"

She looked at me. Then reached for my locket.

"I know something you don't"

"What?"

"Roll up your sleeve"

"Why?"

"Just do it"

I rolled up my sleeve

"You are the Princess of Euphrania, Annabella, Prince Daniel is telling the truth"

I looked at my burn

"How do i prove it?"

"Your locket."
