You were humming to a song you've heard on the radio many times before, until your stepsisters walked into the room. You were currently scrubbing the floor after the mess the cat had left. Your evil stepsisters stopped in front of you and snickered. They kicked the bucket over and tracked more mud onto the floor. "Missed a spot." (sister #1/name) stated while walking away to whatever evil deeds she was planning on doing next. "Stuck-up brats." You muttered under your breath. After you finally finished cleaning up the mess, you left the hall and went to the closet to put away the materials you grabbed for cleaning up. You went into the kitchen and brushed off your clothes with a sigh. 'Nothing I do gets appreciated here. It's always (Y/N) this, and (Y/N) that. When will I ever get a break?' You thought then scoffed. You started preparing your stepmother's tea like she wants. She was just lucky you never spit in it. You grabbed the tea pot, cup and saucer, sugar pot, spoons and other items and set them down on the tray. You grabbed the two handles on the side of the tray and started walking towards her room. Overall it was quiet in the house, besides the two demons sisters upstairs talking to each other. You opened the door to your stepmother's room and the cat ran out quickly. 'Annoying cat' You thought with a mumble. "Come in, (Y/N)." Your stepmother said from her bed. You walked up to her with a tray full of tea and she pointed to the table next to the bed. You gently set the tray on the table and folded your hands in front of you while waiting for her to respond. "You may go now, (Y/N)- Actually, help your sisters with their troubles." She said with a sinister grin. You dropped your head and gritted your teeth. You couldn't stop thinking about the horrible tasks they'd assign to you. "Yes mother." You said behind your clenched teeth. You walked out of the room and gently shut the door. You walked towards your step-sisters room and gripped the handle with a long sigh before opening it to reveal the two girls searching through their closet and jewelry boxes. Your eye twitched and you cleared your throat, announcing your presence. "Finally! You're here. Now you have to tell us which dress looks better." (sister #2/name) stated. You nodded and waited for them to grab each dress out for your answer. (sister #1/name) had a purple dress and a green dress in her hands. (sister #2/name) had a yellow dress and a pink dress in her hands. You looked at both dresses and sighed. "(sister #1/name) should wear the purple and (sister #2/name) should wear the yellow." You said. "Great! Now take these, and throw them out." They said handing them the dresses you picked. You looked really confused and they laughed. "Well we both know you have no sense of fashion, I mean just look at you!" They laughed again. Your face must've been red from anger, but you held yourself back from literally kicking their asses. You walked out of their room in a hurry and growled, throwing the dresses away. "I just need to calm down and maybe drink some water." You said to yourself. You walked down to the kitchen and poured yourself a glass of water, taking a sip until you heard the doorbell go off. You set the glass cup down on the counter and rushed to the front door. Upon opening the door, a man dressed in royal clothes held up a letter to you and you raised your eyebrows, taking the note. "Thank you?" You asked, more than said. He nodded and left in a carriage. You shrugged and closed the door. When you closed the door you saw your step-mother and step-sisters running down the stairs. They literally tackled you for the letter and once they finally got it, you were on the floor. You huffed and pushed yourself back onto your feet, brushing yourself off. You stayed behind them, where you were less likely to get attacked. "Oh my, it's an invitation to the Prince's ball!" (sister #1/name) squealed. Your mother's mouth remained open as she grabbed the letter from her hands and read it. "(Y/N), you are responsible for taking care of your sisters needs for this ball tomorrow, understand?" She asked. "Yes, mother." You said grimly. She rolled her eyes and went back upstairs. The two sisters snickered and ran back upstairs. 'Oh boy, what fun will await me now?' You thought sarcastically.
