More Than A Dream Yet Less Than Reality

by Maleficent-darkgoodwitch2416

Ella has a twin sister who lives with the flock for the first eighteen years of her life. When she is kicked out, Arianna returns home to live with her twin. When the flock comes to beg her to return and the slipper fits Ella, will Arianna run away to the palace to be with her sister, or rejoin the flock?

2. Day 531

Kitkat's POV

That night, after a long day of chores, Ella curled up on her bed. Then she asked, "Remember the lullaby you usually sing for me?"

I nodded. "Can you sing it?" she asked.

I nodded and began singing.

"Deep in the meadow, under the willow, a bed of grass, a soft green pillow. Lay down your head and close your sleepy eyes, and, when again they open, the sun will rise. Here it's safe. Here it's warm. Here the daisies guard you from every harm. Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true. Here is the place where I love you. Deep in the meadow, hidden far away, a cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray. Forget your woes and let your troubles lay, and, when again it's morning, they'll wash away. Here it's safe. Here it's warm. Here the daisies guard you from every harm. Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true. Here is the place where I love you."

Ella fell asleep and I eventually drifted off.

The next morning, Ella and I woke up and she began singing.

"A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep. In dreams you lose your heartache. Whatever you wish for, you keep. Have faith in your dreams and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing the dream that you wish will come true. A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're feeling small. Alone in the night, you whisper, thinking no one can hear you at all. You wake with the morning sunlight to find fortune that is smiling on you. Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow for all you know tomorrow the dream that you wish will come true. A dream is a wish your heart makes. A dream is a wish your heart makes. You wake with the morning sunlight to find fortune that is smiling on you. Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow, for all you know tomorrow the dream that you wish will come true. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing the dream that you wish will come true."

We then met Gus. After we fed Lucifer that morning, we served our stepfamily breakfast and got the chores for the day.

After Ella headed upstairs to give a message from the palace to Stepmother, I returned downstairs to finish scrubbing the entrance for her.

Then there was a second knock and I opened the door to see the last six kids I ever wanted to see—the Flock.
