Cinderella (Fucked Up Tales) extended version
She didn't live happily ever afterwards
The shadows of a young girl crying until the night changes and the sky cries rain showers, For all true love and true hearts in mankind
She was the beloved daughter of a gentle widower who had remarried a woman with two daughters of her own. Our heroine's name is Cinderella. Cinderella's stepmother was not as kind as she appeared, and her stepsisters were vain and selfish. Cinderella's father overlooked the act of deception and danger leaving his lovely girl with cruel humans. Cinderella's father had trusted her new wife to take good care of his Girl.
They (not Cinderella's father) treated Cinderella like a servant, forcing her to do all the household chores while they enjoyed a life of luxury. Cinderella remained hopeful and resilient, finding solace in her friendships with the animals that roamed the family estate. She engaged herself in her free time with small creatures feeding them and being grateful for their company.
The King in the city wanted his son to get married. The kingdom was to host a grand ball, and all eligible maidens were invited to attend. The stepsisters had their makeup and beauty overloaded to impress the prince, who was in search of a bride. The Stepsisters of Cinderella spent days preparing and practising their dance moves and their dress to wear. Cinderella couldn't afford any of them she had her bright blue eyes attractive enough and her true heart which would serve the prince forever if he married her.
As the night of the ball approached, Cinderella's sadness grew, she thought she would not be allowed to attend, and be rejected by the prince. However, her fairy godmother, who had been watching over her all along appeared just in time to grant her wish. With a wave of her wand, SALAGADOOLA MECHIKA BOOLA BIBIDDI BOBBIDI BOO. Cinderella's old torn dress was transformed into a magnificent and elegant gown, and her tattered shoes into sparkling glass slippers. Cinderella was overwhelmed with gratitude. She was set off for the ball when Godmother informed her the spell would last only till 12' O clock. Her heart filled with hope, excitement and True love for her husband to be.
At the ball, Cinderella captivated everyone with her grace and beauty, including the prince himself. They danced together throughout the night, lost in each other's company. Eyes locked they waited a while without moving, suddenly the clock struck midnight sharp 12 with the pendulum banging. Cinderella remembered her fairy godmother's warning.
She fled from the palace, leaving behind one of her glass shoes in her rush. The prince desperate to find the mysterious dance partner and his wife to be, searched the kingdom for the owner of the lost shoe. The shoe had a sign with the name Cinderella. The prince declared his true love and the future queen was the owner of the shoe and he promised to marry her.
Life had tricked and tripped everyone, and so was the Prince. The prince went in search of the right shoe she had left. The left shoe was the right one he was searching for. Prince found the other shoe in an old woman's leg. The prince was confused yet he didn't give up. It was Cinderella's stepmother, envious of Cinderella's sudden popularity, who plotted to ensure that her own daughters married the prince instead. The stepmother had stolen the shoes.
Prince who wanted to stand by his word agreed to marry the old woman without a second thought. Just then he saw the Queen of his dreems, Beautiful and sweet who was waiting for him. Cinderella he smiled. The prince knew he saw her, but he couldn't marry her. Love was always a cobweb in reality it might be fucked up. The king married Cinderella's stepmother, it wasn't fair but it was the truth. Cinderella was not so special she was normal and it was no new for life to break her heart one more time. This time no Godmother came to save the girl whose tears were left unwiped. Cinderella shouted a few words "Who said I'm not beautiful I'm just beautiful me". Life had made her in tears.
She didn't live happily ever after. She lived life with pain just ordinary like any other woman on the planet Earth. Yet she smiled in the fucked up life and that's special about Cinderella.
