Akiza P.O.V

"I still can't believe I lost a glass slipper! I must of lost the other one when I was running away from the Prince."

The Prince. He had been on her mind since she left the ball. The way he offered to have her stay at the palace away from her evil stepfamily. He was so sweet, he listened to everything she said. Prince Yusei was offering her a nice and comfortable home. A place we should be treated nicely and fairly! Barb and Sherry were always mean to her and treated her like a slave. Misty used to be nice to her until her sister and mother compelled her to be mean to Akiza. They used to be the best of sisters, even if they weren't technically related. Akiza never blamed Misty for the accident that put her in the hospital. It was all Sherry and Barb's doing. They are the ones who pushed her off the cliff. Misty tried to save her the best she could, luckily she was able to grab Akiza's hand just in time. But her head hit the side of the cliff and she lost grip of Akiza. They both fell off the cliff but luckily there was a lake under the cliff and they survived. But Akiza's injuries were much worse than Misty's. Carly and Dove never listen to her, she never got to finish the story and tell them that Misty tried to save her.

While she was thinking of all this Akiza walked inside and changed. She put her glass slipper in her secret compartment where her stepmother and stepsisters wouldn't be able to find it. By the time Akiza finished preparing and cleaning the house, her stepfamily was already home.

"How was the ball, Stepmother? Was it amazing?" asked Akiza as she took their coats and hung them on the coat hanger.

"It was alright, Misty got to dance with Prince Kalin. While your best friends danced with Prince Crow and Prince Jack." replied Barb.

"What about Prince Yusei? Did Sherry get to dance with him?" asked Akiza. Of course she knew that she was the one who danced with the Prince all night.

"No, Sherry never got to dance with anyone! As for Prince Yusei, he danced all night with some mysterious nobody!" replied Barb.

"So nobody knows who this mysterious girl is?" asked Akiza.

"Correct, she just ran off when the clock hit midnight. So the Prince himself doesn't even know who she is either!" replied Barb. "Anyway, did you finish all your chores while we were gone?"

"Yes stepmother, I finished all my chores." replied Akiza. "I've laid your nightwear on your beds."

"Thank you Akiza. Now off to bed, your have more chores to finish in the morning." replied Barb.

"Yes stepmother." replied Akiza sadly.

Barb and Sherry were finally away in their rooms when Misty went up to Akiza.

"Akiza, I need to talk to you!" said Misty.

"What? Why?" asked Akiza.

"Please Akiza! It's important, I suggest that we talk somewhere private. Somewhere where my mother and sister can't here us!" said Misty.

"Uhhh... alright, but please don't hurt me!" replied Akiza.

"Don't worry, I won't. Promise!" replied Misty.

Misty and Akiza went up to the attic where no one can hear them. Misty decided to tell Akiza the plan that she, Dove, Carly, and the Princes came up with at the ball. She was finally going to make things right between her stepsister.
