                     Hello, my name is Rose Pierce. My family consists of my parents and my 2 sisters. I am the youngest daughter in the pierce family. I am hated by my sisters , and loved the most by my parents. I am the only one who helps my parents. I do my chores, clean the house, and take care of the horses. I am the smartest and prettiest out of my sisters. All my sisters ever do is go bye dresses and go to balls with there friends. But not me, i’m never invited to balls, or have any dresses, and most people don’t know i exist.

               And this is my story and how i became the faerie queen.

******************************************************************************

                        Waking up to the sound of birds singing was lovely. Ofcourse Sarah and Lisa were still sleeping. I got up and wore my cleaning clothes, an old dress and rubber boots that come up to my knees. I took a bucket of water and soap and started cleaning the floor of my kitchen. We live in a small cottage with 2 bedrooms , a kitchen, and a very small living room. I have light brown hair and light blue eyes. My skin is slightly tanned and i am exceptionally tall. I love my parents very much , as do they. My sisters , on the other hand , hate me. They hate how much i am loved , how smart i am , how pretty i am, everything about me. But even after all this , i still love them.

                 While Sarah and Lisa were still sleeping, i managed to finish cleaning the house. Father had left to his work , for he was a lumberjack. I always ask to help him , but he never allows me . My mother was out of town, going to attend her brother’s marriage. I went out to feed the horses and clean them. As usual my sisters never helped. I sang while i brushed my horses, i was actually a pretty good singer. 

                         “ AHHHHHHHH!!” I heard someone scream. I ran to the house , expecting someone being hurt , or we were being robbed.  I reached the door and ran to the kitchen , and saw Sarah staring at something on the floor. There , in the corner of the room, was a harmless little bird. I walked past Sarah and picked the bird up. I took it to the window and it flew back to it’s nest. 

                            I turned and saw that Sarah was looking at me in disgust. “ This is why i hate you , you filthy , disgusting, unneeded piece of space!” As always, all i would do was ignore her while she went on and on insulting me. I really didn’t care what she said, i still loved her. I went to our room to fix the beds. Lisa was there picking out a dress. “ I need you to finish cleaning this room in 30 minutes, my friends are coming over.” I just nodded and started cleaning. I knew that after i finished cleaning i had to be out of sight. My sisters never allowed me to be seen infront of anyone. They say i’m too ugly, dirty, and pathetic to be seen with them.

                                 I finished cleaning and went to my hide-out in the stables. I took my favorite book with me and a flashlight. I knew they’re friends would probably stay till late at night.
