Sister? She doesn"t understand where the sentence is going and how she suddenly have a sister. Did she sleep for too long for a sister to suddenly appear? Looking at her small hands and touching her delicate face, she recognizes that her feature hasn"t changed at all. She still answers her mother nicely even though she has doubt, "Yep!"

Drizella follows behind her mother wis.h.i.+ng that it isn"t what she thinks. She really hopes that her sister doesn"t have red hair or named "that". Even though she believed she wasn"t in Cinderella"s story it was better to be safe than to be sorry later on. In her mind, she was pleading to the G.o.ds with everything she has for her nightmare to not come true.

"Drizella you know mother was going to name your sister Isabella..." her mother said as she grabs hold of her and lifted her up to see the baby.

Drizella"s eyes widen with shock while she was cursing the G.o.ds in her mind. But when she heard her mother said her sister her sister"s name was Isabella. She was very happy to see how cute her new sister is. Her baby sister has two chubby pink cheeks that jiggle as she lightly pinches her cheek. he was smiling ear to ear feeling very happy--she always wanted a younger sibling. Drizella stops cursing the G.o.ds and thanks them from the bottom of her heart only to be knocked down.

"However, your father"s last wish was for her to be called Anastasia." Camilla"s voice was soft as she said the last part remembering Albert"s last scene with her.

When the two maids saw how she was smiling ear to ear and even shedding tears of joy they were happy for her. They didn"t want another bad thing to happen again. What they don"t know is that appearance was just her outside appearance, inside she was shedding tears of blood and spouting out a trail of blood from her mouth. She was coughing out the word why endlessly from her b.l.o.o.d.y mouth.

She stares at her little sister who has red hair like how the Anastasia in the story was described. Yet she has a pair of bright brown eyes, unlike the story. As she smiles there are two slight dimples formed at the edge of her cheeks like their mother and only adds to her cuteness.

...

Laying in bed Drizella kept thinking about all the different ending of Cinderella that she can remember. "In the Disney movie of Cinderella Drizella and her sister are ugly human beings with big feet and a good for nothing! She didn"t die or anything at all but she suffers losses that greatly heart her pride and herself. Without the maids or her poor stepsister Cinderella she and her sister have to take care of all the ch.o.r.es in the house. Her life was that of a maid in her own family!! A n.o.ble lady like her who always get what she wants... changes into a maid in a single night!!! Drizella wouldn"t be able to take it... being look down upon. Furthermore in the third movie... Drizella was TURNED into a FROG!!"

"In the Grimm Brother"s book, Cinderella"s step-sisters got their feet cut bit by bit just to fit the gla.s.s slipper. Just the thought of having your feet skinned bit by bit by your mother just to fit on a gla.s.s slipper is a nightmare. And afterward having to wear a high heel that is like two feet tall without first-aid or bandage...argh!" Luna shudders with gooseb.u.mps at the thought of it. "Even more they both are blinded due to Cinderella"s bird friends p.o.o.ping in their eyes! If I have to say the only good thing about the Grimm Brother"s book is that they both are beautiful ladies."

Drizella sighed each time she thinks about her bad ending in both movie and book. That night she wasn"t able to sleep at all.

...

"Lia and Ana, please take care of my two daughters while they are staying with their grandparents," Camilla said kissing Drizella and Anastasia"s forehead.

Before they deport onto the s.h.i.+p, Camilla glance at Lia and Ana again making sure they truly understand what to do and not to do.

Drizella doesn"t know the other side of her mother. Her mother is gentle and kind with a good heart but if needs to be she can be evil just like how she was described in the story. Her skills were taught by her older sister who disappeared.

Lia and Ana thought back to last night when they were both summoned by the Madam. She was sitting at the only desk in the room. Even though she looks tired she still has an elegant air around her. The only light in the room is the lamp which highlights her light complexion. The Madam was making a very conflicted face as she faces them both.

"I trust you two to care for my daughters while they are living with their grandparents. Right now the house is in trauma and I don"t want them to get involved."

"...Yes, Madam. But what should we say..."

"Pa.s.s this letter to my parents and they will understand. Also, remember Drizella can"t recover her memories of that day. I don"t know what would happen if she did. ...Let her have a happy life."

Ana asks: "Will you be fine by yourself Madam."

Camilla: "Yes. I"m sorry for not being a good master after my husband"s death... Drizella words and actions during my grieving period made me realize that I can"t stay like that forever... and she was still so young."

The young miss was the only one who stays sane and tries her best to cheer up the madam. When all the servants notice that the madam wasn"t in her right mind they started to be arrogant not knowing their place. The young miss was the only one to voice out her thoughts "This house don"t need you. I alone can care for mother. Leave!!", she was in tears saying those words but all the servants just laugh at her calling her crazy and leaving in big stoops swearing to get their revenge. True to her words the young miss care for her mother and little sister while they take care of the house and food.

The s.h.i.+p they are boarding isn"t fancy like a cruise s.h.i.+p. Instead, the s.h.i.+p can be seen to be made clearly of woods. The people boarding the s.h.i.+p aren"t aristocrats people rather they are clearly commoners. Seeing this and looking at her clothes which clearly is different from what she has usually wear, Drizella guesses that something was clearly going on and that"s why their mother sends them away so that they aren"t involved.

As the s.h.i.+p got farther away her mother became a small dot. Drizella knows that her mother has gone through a lot after her father died. She was concerned about her life after knowing that she"s in Cinderella story but she was more concerned about her mother"s condition. The only thing is that she doesn"t remember her father"s face, the time she has spent with him, or how he died. Not to make things worse than they are already she decided to leave the topic behind... it"ll only bring tears and sadness to her gentle mother.
