《Cinderella》2.Cinders
Advertisement
I soon reached the kitchen and quickly went inside it. No one was in there. It was cold and desolate. My stepmother had gotten rid of almost every other servant a long time ago. The home I once knew disappeared with my father's death. The warmth of the kitchen that used to be like a second home was gone. How I wished it were different.
I remember that there was once a time when the kitchen was always warm from the heat of the oven and smelled of fresh baking bread. I remember sneaking into the kitchen in order to steal a pastry or two. I remember being scolded by my mother for stealing pastries. I remember the cook then slipping me another pastry when my mother turned away. I remember everyone who used to work in the kitchen and how much they used to love my visits.
I remember my mother teaching me how to cook for the very first time in this kitchen.I remember that she had sent all the servants home for the day and we were both preparing dinner. I remember her smile as she wiped flour off my face asking me 'Now how did that get there? We didn't even use flour'. I remember her laugh as I replied with a shrug. I remember her singing and dancing as she cooked. I remember her sitting with me as we ate the meal we cooked together.
I remember the warmth of sitting around the hearth, not caring that stray ashes landed on us. I remember that after the fire died and the room became cold, I crawled into the hearth and sat down in order to warm myself up again. I remember falling asleep there and when my mother woke up and finally found me all covered in cinders, she asked 'What am I going to do with you my little Cinderella?'

I remember after my father died, my stepsisters found me sleeping in the hearth and Delaney said 'Well, well, look here. Ella is sleeping in the fireplace and she's covered in cinders. How about we call her Cinderella from now on?' 'Cinderella. Now you'll always remember that we'll never be alike. You're just a lowly servant covered in cinders and we're your masters' Leonora spit out. I remember my stepsisters chanting Cinderella over and over again. I remember my stepmother coming in and hearing the name. I remember the wicked grin that crossed her face as soon as she heard it.
I remember the first time she used that name. I remember the first time she treated me like I was lower then a dog. Now, she uses that name all the time. For all I am to them is their servant covered in cinders, Cinderella.
Hey! So I know this chapter's kind of short, but I like it. Plus I wrote it so that I'd stop playing solitaire. I've had it pointed out to me by that I'm probably scaring people off with my author's notes. If that's the case sorry. I've posted a lot of chapters in the last hour. It'll probably never be like this again. Did I just scare more people off? Anyways, thanks for reading this. Please vote and comment. Bye!
P.S. Pandas? Anyone? Anyone at all? Someone else who's room is filled with pandas, please exist and read this!

The world isn't fair. If anything, the inherent injustice of the world is what separates it from the fiction we so adore. Luis Freighthold knew this all too well, and that was why it took a bit longer than it should have to realise when he suddenly had everything he could ever have wanted. Raised in a working-class single-father home, Luis had no other escape than fiction. Specifically, vampire stories of varying quality and genre. There was something appealing about the ability to fly, turn into shadows and become smoke. Danger. An unfamiliarity with the social world that rejected him so. Was it so wrong for him to hope for a different life? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, now he had it—a lust for blood and abilities beyond the understanding of civil man. Could you really say that he had anything left to complain about? A vampire story following an unconventional vampire boy forced to accept that maybe becoming a vampire doesn't magically solve all your problems. As a matter of fact, it might just make a whole bunch of them even worse. Regardless, Luis is prepared to try everything to live up to the vampire books he had previously gorged on. What did it matter that his vampire form had no teeth, replaced instead by a long, needle-tipped tongue? He was still a vampire, wasn't he? Chapters are around 10 A4 pages long, releasing once a week on Mondays, 01:00 CET.
