A little bit like Cinderella

chapter 9

Lea's Pov 

To say I was happy when both of my real parents walked into my room was an understatement. The lady that had walked in, was the prettiest women I have ever seen. 

She had long beautiful light brown hair that had a few natural highlights, she was very fit and had the perfect height. Plus I could tell she loved clothing because her outfit was stunning. 

Her eyes where this really warm hazel colour that had a bit of green in the centre. over all, she just looked so perfect. 

The man was quite handsome too, even though he looked to be in his mid 40s. He was taler then her but not too much taller. His hair was perfectly styled and he had really pretty bright blue eyes.

 I guess that's where I get my blue eyes from. 

He was dressed well too, but I'm guessing she helped him pick out his outfit. 

Both had an amazing tan and they just looked stunning and so kind hearted. 

They both looked like sophisticated and important people. I started to wonder if I would ever fit in with them .

 I didn't look anywhere near as pretty as them and they looked so happy, where I was pale with cuts and bruises all over my body and I didn't have a happy life.

Well, first I had to see if they wanted me. But I wasn't expecting them to want me. Who would? 

"Hi" I crocked out

"Hi Lea" my dad said. 

Before any body else could say anything, my mom started to burst into tears. And soon after that I began to cry too. 

I opened my arms for both of them and they didn't hesitate to come running over into my open arms.

 For the first time in my life, I felt really happy and I felt like I finally belonged. 

When they broke apart from the hug and grabbed a chair to sit down, I couldn't wait anymore, so I just blurted out the question hat has been on my mind ever since I found out that I was kidnapped. 

" Do you want me? Or are you gonna send me back to Verida?"

"Lea," my mom started , " we have been looking for you ever since you were taken from us. We have wanted you back all this time. 

 I could never even imagine sending you back to her after all she has done to you. 

And I blame myself for it because I refused to bring someone along to watch over us when we went to the supermarket. If only I wouldn't of been so stubborn, this would have never happened to you.

 It's all  my fault. I hope someday you can forgive me." She ended. By the time she was done, she looked heart broken and ashamed that her daughter went through all of this because of her. 

She had formed new tears and it started to affect me too.

I couldn't even believe what she was saying right now. Did she honestly blame herself for this? How is it her fault? 

She was just grocery shopping and left me out of her sight for not even a minute. Verida just had good timing.

" I never blamed neither of you for any of this and I never will. I may have just met you guys, but I already love you both very much. 

I'm just happy that I've finally been rescued and I now have a family that will care for me." I said but I don't know how well they understood me because my voice was shaky from crying.
