Heavy rain fell from the dark clouds. Thunders and lightning are like wild animals freed from a long locked up in the cage. The wind's blowing hard that made it more difficult for her to push the boat into the water of the black sea.

She need to. She doesn't care about the storm or the rain, the winds or even the strong waves crashing on the boat. She need to push the boat as hard as she could, that's all she knew in that moment. She should be able to push the boat and escape from the mad fairy.

"You cannot escape from my punishment! You know that I don't want to hurt you and that I made a promise to your mother before she died that I will take care of you no matter what. But, I guess you need some punishment for you to realize all your faults", said the fairy god mother to the princess. "I would make you feel how does it feel to be broken. I will make you feel how does it hurt to have a broken heart", she continued. The fairy stretched her hands, ready to swish her wands. One...two...three.... SWISH AND FLICK! A light came out from the tip of the fairy's wand flashing fast to the princess direction. The princess, already paddling hard to escape suddenly stopped her paddles. The waves started to roll higher, the winds blew even stronger and with the flash of the lightning, the water suddenly move fast into circle making a huge, deep whirlpool.

"You need to help two people in love with each other unite their feelings. Find the prince and lead him to his true love through a magical kiss. With that, you'll learn what love is and I'll let you come back here! Remember, a magical kiss!..." The loud voice of the fairy suddenly disappeared but the echo it left remained through the mind of the princess.

The princess is now trapped between the whirlpools that engulfed her. She screamed for her life but no one could save her. Her screams are no help to escape from the water drowning her.

The princess screamed so loud that the whole castle was disturbed from their deep sleep. The princess' maids stormed in to her room and asked her what happened. "I'm...I'm just okay... you can go now...I'm just dreaming..." she said in a frightened voice. Her maids went back to their beds. The princess was left alone by herself, thinking about the nightmare she had.

"It's just a dream. How can it be real? Foolish!" she whispered. She went back sleeping like nothing happened  but before she could close her eyes, she stared at the picture in a big golden frame with a woman in it of a blonde hair wearing a pink gown. In the border of its frame engraved her mother's name "Cinderella".

"I miss you, mother", she whispered.
