This chapter is mostly about pain, suffering, and REBELLION!

"Sora come in here!" her stepmom hissed as she got home.

"What do you want?" Sora snapped back.

"How dare you talk to me like that! You better wash away that attitude of yours or else!" Laura warned.

"Or else what?" Sora asked putting her hands on her hips and rolling her eyes.

"That's the last straw!" Laura quickly slapped her but Sora grabbed her wrist just in time.

"You're never going to touch me again, or you're fat snobby cows you call daughters!" Sora walked out of the room and slammed the door with a big grin on her face and a shocked expression on the stpemom's.

"Sora what happened I heard yelling?" Jilly came rushing down the hall.

"I told her what I've been keeping in all these years" Sora smiled.

"Good for you!" Jilly led Sora out to the back abd they talked amongst the other servants.

"So you're going to the ball?" Lily asked amazed.

"yeah, but I have to leave an hour early so he can dress me up" Sora smiled but immediately blushed as the others 'ooh' and 'ah' at her. Then some of the male servants started making cat calls and whistling at her.

"Don't pay no attention to them. Josh didn't learn to be stupid. He's was born that way!" Ashley shouted so he would be able to hear from across the yard.

"Hey!" he shouted back.

****************

"Matt I can hardly wait to see her" Tai sighed laying on his bed.

"Looks like loverboy here won't be able to last a day without seeing her" Matt elbowed TK in the ribs.

"Yeah, look at him. He's pratically drooling over a stranger! God he's easy!" Tk commented. Tai snapped out of his phase and glared at TK.

"Don't you have a tea party with your dolls right about now" Tai said in a deadly voice. TK begin to sweat and laugh nervously.

"Um.. sure right. Bye!" TK ran out of Tai's room and towards Kari's. Matt couldn't help but laugh at his brothers corwardness.

"Hey I got an idea!" Matt's face litted up.

"I don't wanna know you're idea!" Tai jumped off the bed and backing away.

"I promise this time we won't get thrown in the dungeon, please!" Matt begged.

"No way! I learn from past mistakes! The mistake was listening to your ideas" Tai began.

"Listen, we could go to her house at night and you can see her?" Matt winked.

"No! Her stepmom would kill her!" Tai replied.

"Well, we could-"

"I don't wanna know!" Tai shouted running out of his room and towards Kari's.

"Is Kari's room that popular?" Matt asked sarcastically. Just then a maid walked by and whispered, "Everyone is a damn critic"

"what?" Matt asked.

"Oh, nothing sir" The old maid smiled.

"That's what I thought" Matt said as he headed off to Kari's room.

*****************

"That's it! I had enough with that girl living in my house!" the stepmom roared as Sora left to go outside.

"Then what do you purpose we do?" Mel smiled mischeviously.

"That's what I hoped you'd say. I can't stand her anymore! I thought you'd get rid of her years ago" Liz huffed crossing her arms.

"Nonsense, we needed her service then, but her welcome is worn out. We'll sell her tomorrow on thursday so she won't get in the way when we go to the ball" the stepmom grinned impishly.

"Oh, I love it!" squealed Mel. After their chat they begun their preparations for the masque ball.

Unknown to them, another servant was listening by the door and sneaked out of the house to tell Sora. When he reached Sora she quickly grabbed her aside to the little barn.

"Was is it?" Sora asked her friend, Izzy.

"I just heard you're stepmom and stepsisters plotting to sell you away as a slave by tomorrow morning!" Izzy took out a sling bag and hand it to her.

"What are you saying?" Sora started shaking her head.

"I'm saying you should leave! I don't want you to get harmed!" Izzy told her sadly.

"But I can't go! I'm supposed to go to the ball!"

"You'll be noticed" Izzy warned.

"No! I'm not going anywhere. I defend for myself! I have to, it's about time I stood up for myself and what is mine!" Sora was on the verge of tears.

"I know, but they'll do it. And-"

"No, I'm staying. I have to do this. Otherwise how could I honor my family name? By running away from my problems? No I'm fighting for myself" Sora stated cooly.

"If things take the wrong turn. I'll have to-"

"No. If you want to help then tomorrow before sunrise come to my room. I'll have a letter ready. Give it to Mimi and tell her to read it. She'll know what to do"

"My god! It's not a suicide note is it?" Izzy's eyes widened.

"Of course not!" Sora turned and left towards the house. Sora stormed in and interupted their lesson.

"I am not a slave to be sold!" Sora snapped.

"You are one If I say so!" The stepmom slapped her across the face.

"I'm not going! This is my house! You and your ugly daughters can just leave right now If you don't like me!" Sora yelled.

"This is legally my house until you're at the legal age. And by the way things are going. You'll probably never reach the legal age" The stepmom raored as the two daughters grinned.

"You sold my fathers books, burned his possessions. Stole my mother jewelry and ripped her wedding gown and turned it into a curtain to hang in my parents room!" Sora slapped Laura across the face.

This was enough for the stepmom. She took her by the wrist and led her outside.

"You asked for this" she reached for her dress but Sora kicked her off.

"I'm am never letting you hurt me again!" she screamed.

"I tried to be nice to you but-"

"Nice! You call that nice?! Kicking me out of my room for no reason. Turning me into a servant! Taking over the whole house and my families possessions! You call that nice!" Sora wiped the tears that was flooding her eyes.

"Tomorrow, I'm sending you off to be sold!" Laura smiled. Then Mel and Liz grabbed Sora from behind and tied her hands in chains.

"You're going!" Liz said before she knocked her unconscious.
