《Cinderella》17.Resolve
Advertisement
Time passed quickly and soon it was the day before the ball. I had been kept busy with work from my stepmother and had yet to ask if I could go to the ball as well. I had already picked a dress and done everything except for ask for permission to go. So, I set off to find my stepmother.
Even though I could normally find my stepmother in an instant, today she was nowhere in sight. I had checked the drawing room, the dining room, her bedroom, and even the stables, but she was gone. I desperately wanted to go to the ball and I wasn't sure what I would do if she said no. Not only would I be committing treason, but I wouldn't be able to see Anthony either.
I walked into the kitchen feeling defeated. No matter where I had checked, I hadn't found her. I went and leaned against a counter when I realized that someone else was in the room. To be more specific, my stepmother was in the room.
"Have you finished all your work?" She asked. I nodded.
"Speak up. You aren't mute are you" she snarled.
"Yes, ma'am" I quickly said.
"Good. Now I suppose you've heard that it's treason if you don't attend the ball" she said.
"Yes, ma'am" I said.
"Don't interrupt me when I'm speaking" she yelled. Yet what she had said demanded an answer. I didn't bother to point that out though.
"Yes ma'am" I said barely holding back a sigh.
"I suppose I have to let you go to the ball then, but you have to find your own way there, your own dress, shoes, everything else, and you have to complete every chore I give you tomorrow. Understand?" She asked.
"Yes, ma'am" I said resisting the urge to start squealing. I was allowed to go to the ball. I'd be able to see Anthony again. I'd be able to get out of the house. I'd be able to have fun for a night.

"Good" my stepmother said and then she left the room without another word. As soon as she was gone, I ran to Laney's room. I opened the door and saw her and Lele sitting on Laney's bed talking to each other. Before I entered the room, I checked for my stepmother. She wasn't anywhere nearby, so I ran into the room and flopped onto the bed.
"What's got you in such a good mood?" Lele teased.
"I get to go to the ball" I squealed.
They both joined me in screaming about the good news. Laney even went as far as to start jumping on her bed. We finally calmed down and Lele asked "There's some sort of condition, isn't there?"
"In order to go, I need to get there on my own and complete every single chore that she gives me tomorrow. If I can't, then I don't get to go" I said.
"Knowing her she'll load you down with so many chores that you won't be able to finish before the ball" Lele said.
"I may have found something that will free all of us from her control, but I still have a bit more research to do before I can be certain" Laney informed us.
"Will you be able to figure it out by tomorrow?" Lele asked.
"I'll try, but I can't promise anything" Laney said.
"I have a feeling she'll do anything to keep Cinderella away from the ball" Lele stated.
"I'll be able to do it. I'll do anything if it means that I get to go to the ball" I resolved.
"And we'll do anything to get you there" both of my sisters promised.
I know it's short, but it's just here to lead into the next part. After all, there needs to be some understanding of why her workload changes from almost impossible to completely impossible. So, this story is reaching it's end and will probably be finished within the next ten chapters more or less. I'm glad all the random people reading this decided to read this story and , I'm glad you were pretty much forced to read this story by me. Just kidding...kind of. Till next note
P.S. This story will end, but my love for pandas will continue

Harbinger
With a chip on his shoulder and a lack of fucks to give, Robin navigates a world far removed from his own.

If he's really lucky, it won't be all at once. Trapped in a kingdom separated from the rest of the world by a swarm of monsters spanning the horizon, Robin must explore his new power as a Tempered if he ever wants to break free. But there's a reason Tempering fell out of favor centuries ago, and he'll soon learn facing the demons within oneself may just be worse than facing any monster. Expect a slow burn with flawed characters who don't always know what they want or what's best for them, realistic romance, dark humor, and serious themes. Power will be earned through blood, sweat, and tears.

"You know I can read your thoughts right?" He asked me smirking. He licked the part on my neck where his bite mark was, causing me to jump. A shiver ran through my body, and I moaned out loud, shocking myself. He chuckled as my eyes widened and he kissed my neck, biting it a little. "You're so...submissive when I touch you, but I guess you can't help it huh?" He asked, whispering against my ear. "This is what happens when I drink your blood...it feels so good right?"He turned my head slightly and pressed his lips against mine, "If you want to live...You and I will have to become one...I'd be giving you a share of my neverending life-span, and so basically, you'll be mine.""Forever." He added.~ This book might be a bit disturbing I guess for some people but, just warning you beforehand. 🖤 read the tags I don't know...

8 142Kathy With A K's Song
"Oh my darling, when you smile, it is like a song"-"Obviously," She started. There was a nervous shake in her voice that made me tilt my head in her hands. "Obviously you don't understand the agreement." She repeated after quickly composing herself. I rolled my eyes, but let her continue."Where you go, I go. Where I go, you go." She told me sternly. Her thumbs grazed my cheeks and heat rose on my skin where she touched. I couldn't tell if this was just Sophia being caring or if she was maybe feeling more. My brain told me that this was all a friendly gesture, but my body and it's stupid hormones were telling me that it was something more. And your brain can never really overcome true instincts. I moved closer towards her, shrinking the already limited space between us. This time it was Sophia's turn to blush which only made my smile grow larger. All I could think about was her lips meeting mine.(a new and improved skmw xx)
