AU: Okay this is my first story, I normally just write poetry and stuff
so bare with me if this isn't exactly the best story in the world…

Prologue
Angel walked the gardens of the castle, her new younger stepsister, Spring, was playing near the fountain again. She smiled at the thought of Spring. The little girl was not a noble, but the sweetest and easiest to love creature in the world. Everyone seemed to love the young girl, except for certain nobles.
She wasn't pretty. Or perhaps she was in such an odd way. Her skin was pale as stone and her hair midnight black that curled in a wild mess. She was short for her age and talked too much.
Angel was quite different however, she had long blonde hair and blue eyes along with her seven sisters, she was a true noble.
"What is it that you are playing with?" Angel asked walking up behind the six year old child. Spring turned to show her a little green frog.
"Oh good heavens child!" Angel gasped lifting the frog between two fingers and laying it gently on the fountain. She dipped her hands into the water of the fountain to clean them. "Hear Spring, clean your hands. Don't touch animals like this anymore child, they are happy right where they are." Spring nodded dipping her hands all the way up to her elbows into the water.
"Angel," Spring asked flinging her arms around the air to dry them. "Can animals understand us when we talk?"
"Only magical animals child," Angel said smiling down at the tiny child's lit up eyes.
"You shouldn't tell her such things Angelica." Daisy said walking up behind the two younger girls. She grabbed Spring's chin and looked down into her face. "Go wash your face child! It's filthy!" Spring grinned an evil grin and pulled down her oldest stepsisters dress and throwing an unhappy frog down the front of the dress. Angel's eyes grew wide with delight and she tried not to laugh as her sister danced around in panic trying to remove the frog from her dress. Spring ran off for the woods.
Daisy swore a slight curse of revenge and walked off to change and get ready for the dinner.
Angel waited by the woods for her younger stepsister to return.
Spring played near the river and kicked off her shoes. She didn't like being a princess. She wasn't allowed to be barefoot, or have a dirty face, or touch animals. She missed when her mother and she lived in the little cottage, just the two of them. Then the king saw how beautiful her mother was and now she has to be a princess.
"Hello!" she yelled out to the silence, hoping to hear a magical animal call back. She sighed in defeat and looked for her shoes, she started to cry when she couldn't find them and hurried back towards the palace.
"Spring, you are a princess now," Angel said taking the little girl's hands and wiping her eyes. "Your going to have to start acting like it." Spring nodded and let Angel walk her back to Angel's large rooms.
Angel dressed Spring in a dark green dress, the same color as Spring's eyes, and put tiny combs in her hair. She even gave her new green satin shoes.
The dinner went wonderfully and everyone (except Daisy) thought Queen Violet was beautiful and would make a good queen. There were rumors that she might even bring a son to the kings family, this helped with the fact that she was not a born noble.
Violet sat next to her husband. Her long light brown hair was piled up in a knot ontop her head and she had small purple flowers weaved in it. Her dress was the same shade of purple as the flowers and had gold trim.
Daisy sat on the other side of the king with her golden hair down in a lovely fashion, she wore a lovely blue dress with lace on the bodice. Next to her sat the second to oldest sister Rose, and next to her the third oldest.
Angel was her father's favorite daughter and asked to be allowed to sit next to Spring to help her with eating properly. Spring found it annoying and was very happy when it was time for her to retreat to her room. A nanny took her and changed her into her bed clothes and tucked her in that night.
