Chapter 2: A new Life
The stepmother was very nice to Samantha but sometimes Samantha felt like her stepmother hated her. It wasn't obvious or anything but it you watched her closely you could see the signs. So Samantha told her father about her fears.
"Father Can I talk to you?" asked Samantha as she curtsied. "Of course you can sweetheart" said the king. Samantha sat down thinking of ways she could tell this to her father gently. "I don't think your new wife likes me". She decided that blunt was best.
The king looked shocked then chuckled and said "of course she likes you! What ever gave you that idea that she doesn't?" "I don't know it's just that every time we're in the same room it seems to get very cold" replied Samantha. "That's not true you're just imagining things" he said kissing her on the cheek.
"Thanks I love you" said Samantha as she got up and began to walk away. Smiling when she heard the reply "I love you two". That was the last thing she ever got to tell her father. He mysteriously died in his sleep that night.
Now that her father was dead Samantha was at the mercy of her stepmother. Since her husbands death the queen had gotten more and more dosed with her looks. Finally she put in a magic mirror and everyday she would ask it "who is the most beautiful lady in the land" The mirror always told her it was she.
Yet Samantha was getting lovelier by the day. When the queen asked the mirror again "who's the loveliest of all was" she got a very different reply. "Hair as gold as the sun and eyes the color of emeralds is the girl who is the most beautiful of all". "Samantha" snarled the queen. You see Samantha had been right about her stepmother she hated her with a passion. She now made her dress in rags and had her do all the work.
"When will I find my prince" wondered Samantha. She started singing hoping it would help pass the time. The birds listening to her voice. "You have a beautiful voice" someone said.
