Once Upon a Time lived a girl named Cinderella

And all she ever dreamed of was escaping her family and running off on her own

Her stepmother realized that she had no control over what Cinderella did, since her father died

Cinderella made numerous attempts to get away, often times endangering those around her

So her Stepmother, seeing that Cinderella talked to mice, kept her busy thinking that she

was mentally unwell after losing both of her parents. She made her cook and clean and kept

her children away out of fear that Cinderella would have done something terrible.

Often times her Stepmother caught Cinderella singing and thought her voice was lovely.

The day came when the prince sent notice that he was throwing a huge ball to find his queen

Stepmother knew that one of her girls would be the right fit for him and made haste of all

the preparations needed to get her girls ready. Gowns, shoes, hats, hair. Stepmother was

stressed out and didn't pay much mind to Cinderella. Cinderella, who hadn't considered going,

had her own gown made with fabrics she kept locked away for when she needed to run away

The night of the ball came and everyone in the house was in quite a fluster. Stepmother waited

outside for the horse and carriage to come along, when it finally did she stepped inside and saw

Cinderella slap her daughter while wearing a dress that was torn and ripped. Afraid that she had finally snap

Stepmother banished Cinderella to her room and ordered her not to leave for the remainder of the night.

The ladies were on their way and Stepmother pushed the thought of Cinderella to the back of her head

to make sure her daughters were poised and graceful. The night wore on and the Prince hadn't danced

with either of Stepmother's daughters, just as he finally came to pick one a girl came in with a bright blue

gown. She gracefully came down the stairs and the Prince moved to take her hand. Something about the

girl stood out to Stepmother, but she couldn't put her finger on it. The night went on and the Prince and mystery

lady had vanished. Suddenly she brust through the crowd like a mad woman and raced up the stairs and out of

the castle. The Prince then sent everyone home and Stepmother was furious. She and the girls arrived home

and went to bed. The next day was a dull day until a knock at the door came and Stepmother was suprised

She answered the door and before her was the Prince and his armed men. The Prince announced that he

has a shoe and a decree ordering that every maiden must try the shoe. She hurried and got her girls dressed

and prepared and they each tried the shoe and both of them were no match. The Prince asked the Stepmoher

if she had anymore children, in which she responded no

And she wasn't lying because Cinderella wasn't her own birth child. The Prince asked if they had a maid and the Stepmother

nodded but said that she couldn't be a fit because she was forbidden to go to the ball. The Prince demanded to see her

and so the Stepmother fetched Cinderella who had been up in her room packing a bag for her escape. She brought Cinderella down to

The Prince and he put the shoe on and everyone watched in stunned silence as the shoe fitted her perfectly. Stepmother tried to explain what happened

why Cinderella couldn't be Queen, but the prince woukdn't hear of it and ordered them to be hanged. Cinderella, who in fact was mentally ill,

married the prince and Stepmother and her children were hanged.
