When the guards, Blaze, and CinderAmes walked outside, Lady Vonbat said as her daughters followed,  "Stop right there. Of all people! You little wretch!! I will..."

When she was going to lunge at CinderAmes, the guards stopped them as Blaze glared at her and said, "You have no right to talk about it. I just received word from the carriage driver and the people of this town. They say you were not so nice to this girl. She is more of a kind and sweet girl than you and your daughters ever could."

She grabs CinderAmes hand as she said, "Oh and, I'm a girl."

That stunned Lady Vonbat as the color on her face drained.

Rougella and Vougella gasped in appall and anger.

Lady Vonbat said coldly, "You can't be serious! She's a servant wench and always will be."

CinderAmes protested, "I have put up with you and your ungrateful daughters since my fathers death. Not once have you ever thanked me for my hard work. You always hit me and treated me like a maid. You are never the woman my father thought you be. But you will never replace my true mother."

Blaze held her in her arms in comfort as she glared at Lady Vonbat and her daughters as the guards kept between the two girls and them.

Although before Lady Vonbat can do anything she spies the ghost of CinderAmes parents glaring at her coldly behind them.

Lady Vonbat said in a panic as she stepped back, "No! No! Impossible! It can't be. How is this possible?!"

That was when CinderAmes father looks at the birds and points to both Rougella and Vougella.

As punishment for their cruelty, the birds flew around Rougella and Vougella while they screamed.

One by one they pecked on their eyes mercilessly while Vougella said screaming, "Ow!! My eyes!"

Lady Vonbat 'in horror' said as she witnessed her daughters getting their eyes pecked, "Stop it!! Please! No! Please leave them alone!!"

Blaze and CinderAmes hopped onto their horse as the guards escorted them to the palace 'leaving Lady Vonbat to witness the horror'.

Lady Vonbat screamed and cried while she shouted, "STOP IT! MY DAUGHTERS!!"

When the birds flew away, Rougella and Vougella were sitting down with their eyes bleeding while they were crying.

Lady Vonbat was on her knees as Talia and the Micebunnies walked off 'following the royal guards'.

CreamCheese asked, "You sure you don't mind us riding on your back?"

Talia answered, "I had other things on my back and frilly outfits are not one of them. Besides they were itchy."

While CinderAmes and Blaze rode their horse to the Mûriel palace, CinderAmes could swear she saw the ghost of parents smiling and waving.

That was when CinderAmes realized that her godmother was actually her mother.

A tear fell from her face and muttered with a smile, "Thank you... Mother."
