Once upon a time there was a young girl named Cinder. She lives with her stepmother and two stepsisters.

When her father died Cinder became the maid of her stepmother because they are envy of her beauty.

One stormy night, a knock on the door was heard by Cinder. She opened the door and saw a man soakly wet because of the rain.

"Invitation madam. For all the young ladies in the kingdom. It is the birthday of the prince and everyone is invited to the ball that will be held tomorrow night." said the man and hand over a piece of envelope to Cinder and walk away.

Cinder went to her stepmother's room and give her the letter.

"An invitation from the palace!" Stepmother was surprise "Then we have to get ready for tomorrow."

"Since every one is invited may I come too?" She asked.

"You? Who would've wanted you in a dress like that?" She laughs

"But it is said that everyone is invited." Cinder said

"Well. You can come if you have done all the work you need for tomorrow." Stepmother said

"Really? Thank you stepmother."
Said Cinder.

The next day, Cinder was very busy of all the work for the ball, for the dresses and accessories of her stepsisters, she did'nt have a chance to take care of her own dress.

Until the night came and Cinder is not yet ready.

"You're not ready child?" Stepmother said.

"I'm not going." Cinder said

"Then we will go now." Said stepmother while smiling evily and then they went out.

Cinder ran out and went to the garden. And there she cried. Sobbing under a tree.

"Stepmother did'nt really want me to go. She kept me busy the whole day so I wont have time to prepare my dress." She said to herself.

"Would'nt you want to go to the ball my child?" Said by someone.

Cinder look up and saw a lady in a black creepy dress.

"Who are you?" Cinder asked

"I'm you fairy devil mother." She said "I'm here to help you get ready for the ball."

"Really? That makes me glad. But I cannot go like this." Cinder asked motivatedly.

The fairy smiled and said. "First, you have to be dressed up for the ball."

The fairy swift her wand and gave her a royal blue ball gown with black laces. And a glass shoes.

"How beautiful. But how can I go to the ball? It would take hours if I walk." Cinder said.

The fairy saw a dead pumkin at the garden. She swift her wand and it became a walking dead pumkin that looks like a carraige. Then she saw some four rats rotting in the garbage behind the back door, she swift again her wand and then they became black wild horses.

"There you go child. You can now go to the ball." She said

"But how? I cant drive this thing." Cinder complained.

The fairy roam her eyes above the tree and saw two birds.

She swift her wand for the fourth time then they became men. A driver and a carraige man.

"Maybe now you can go?" The fairy said.

"Yes. Thank you very much." She said

"By the way, these things will only last until midnight. When midnight come all will be gone and if your stepmother caught you there, you'll die." The fairy said.
