Cinderella sighed. Why did her step family hate her?
“Mother..”
“Yes?”
She saw the ghost of her mother standing nearby.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“That gold digging crone….she married your father for his money.”
In a poof of smoke, an unknown woman stood before Cinderella. “I’m your fairy godmother, from Far Far Away.”
“Dear, she’ll help you get ready. I’m dead, so I cannot help you. But I will watch over you, and you shall go to the ball.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Smiling, Cinderella watched with interest as the driver ran off screaming. The carriage was now in complete ruin. And thanks to the fairy Godmother, she was dressed for the ball.
“Hello, I had no idea you are all expecting” her mother smiled.
“We most certainly are not expecting” the step mother glared. “Oh, I had assumed from the exceptionally wide girth…”
“Shut up” both sisters snapped in unison. “We are not fat, we just have big bones!”
“Sheldon, come out here please”
A pouting vampire walked out as both sister began to bicker on who had less girth. The stepmother began to file her nails.
“Regardless, you have all been both verbally and physically abusing my daughter.”
“Why them?” the vampire whined. “They’re too ugly to eat.”.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cinderella smiled, as she looked out, watching the sky get lighter as the sun was coming up.
It had been a wonderful ball. If the taxes hadn't been due by midnight, she would've stayed much later. But pity she had lost her glass slipper.
“Dear, you need only to open the lid….” The ghost smiled.
“You mean kill them?”
“Darling, they have given nothing but cruelty. This way, you can be free from those hags. Besides they deserve it. And you will inherit everything.”
Recalling how her family had bullied her, she smiled as she opened the lids to the sun.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“As the heiress, she smiled. It felt nice to be who she was.
And like her mother had said, she had inherited everything. In less than a day, she had gone from servant to heiress.
Looking over, she smiled. The prince…it was such a nice ball. But she'd got to the palace in a bit and apologize. And hopefully, someone had found her shoe.
Seeing a rider approach, she gasped, recognizing the prince.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As they danced, Cinderella smiled. It had been a beautiful wedding.
“How did you know where I was?” she smiled, as she looked into the eyes of her husband.
“I..this ghost just appeared , and gave me your address. And warned me if I didn’t go there tomorrow, she’d haunt my butt.”
Cinderella smiled, as she had found happiness with her beloved.
