16. Going To The Ball

Ella's POV

"Girls get ready, we will leave in 30 minutes." Stepmother told them coldly before walking into her room to get ready. I stood motionless, not knowing what to do.

"Cinderella, go clean my room!" Drizella told me as she walked down stairs waiting for her sister. I moved as quickly and quietly as I could as I walked into Drizella's room. I started on the clothes. Picking them up and hanging them in the closet.

I heard my stepmother and my stepsisters leave for the ball. After I was done cleaning I wished I could go to the ball as well. Of course I've never get to do anything I wish. A tear fell down my face as I walked downstairs and outside. I cried as I wanted to go.

"Why are you crying?" An angelic voice asked me.

"I wanted to go to the ball."

"Why don't you?"

I wipe my eyes and look up. A beautiful lady with a wand and in a pale pink glittery gown stood above me.

"I don't have a dress to wear and I have no way to get there." I informed her.

"Go to the gardens and pick the biggest pumpkin you can find, then get four mice and two lizards." She told me. I ran to the garden and found the biggest pumpkin.

Next I grabbed two lizards from outside. Once I had brought it all to her she waved her wand before it all transformed. The pumpkin turned into a car,  and the lizards into footmen. She turned to look at me as she did she waved her wand.

My rags turned into a blue dress that sparked like stars as I moved. On my bare feet glass shoes appeared.

"You may go to the ball. Just remember that after midnight the magic will disappear and everything will go back to the way it was." She informed me as I got inside. As we drove off I thanked her for her help. After a ten minute drive the academy the driver pulled over. I got out and walked inside.
