Today was the day, the dreadful day, I was woken at six by Fauna,  she said that Alice had called and that Mr. Hatter needed help making all the tea and they needed an extra hand. I got dressed and grabbed my dress from the closet heading over as soon as possible. I got there and, we made tea for nearly two hours. After the tea was all made and Mr. Hatter ran it all down to the great hall, Issic and I went out for breakfast, he told me he was sorry and that he was wrong to stand up for her when I am the most important. And through the rest of breakfast he talked about the writer which got really annoying because that's all he ever talks about these days and how that if I was a princess, he should get the credit because that's what he always called me.

I had to remind him that we didn't know who my parents were. After we finished breakfast he headed back to his house to get ready for the party. I got changed into the grey dress and pinned up my hair walking out of the bathroom and down the hall to Issic's room. I knocked on the door and he pulled it open looking at me.

"Well don't you look darling," I said pulling on his tie.

"And you, a real princess." I laughed and he linked arms with me walking to the kitchen. Alice was cooking something that smelled like daisies. She dropped her spoon when she saw us.

"Look at you both, all dolled up ready for the party. I should really go get dress. Could one of you go turn off the stove?" She yelled running up the stairs, I let go of Issic's arm and walked over to the stove flipping the switch. Alice walked back out seconds later, "Okay lets go, she grabbed her house keys and walked to the front door.

We know stood infront of the grand hall doors, they were huge and dark wood, the doors opened and we all walked in. There was a giant group of people all standing around I giant table. I looked around and the table had names written across the back of the seats and everyone was standing behind the chair that said there name. I walked around the table finding my name which was across from the Hatters. No one was talking, but everyone was starring at me, the story about school had spread to the whole town from me hitting her to the roses, and of course I was blamed. Whispers erupted in the room, my name was all over the place, but what could I except.

Mr. Hatter walked in the room and looked at everyone the room fell silent and once it was completely quite he spoke. "Tea time." he said and everyone sat but still no one spoke. Down at the far end of the table was Maleficent and her daughter Dove. The King or Aroura's father left her mother for Maleficent and they had Dove. Lets just say that family is really messed up.

Dove broke the silent. "If we are all going to sit here and stare at her we might as well ask her the question."  I looked over at her knowing she was talking about me. "We want to know who your parents are, and how you did it, with the roses." I looked at her cold in the eyes her returning the glare getting it from her mother.  Their eyes were green, bright green like a lizard.

"If I knew I wouldn't be sitting here now would I." I glared again and turned to her mother at that moment the room erupted everyone began talking but no one spoke a word to me. It was a long party, we ate and talked it was only half way over and I was the topic of conversation again.

"So little miss magic, you know it wont last, this perfect little life you have, as soon as you start using that precious magic you have people will come after you, I know I will." Aladdin spoke turning his wife and tiger, which no one really knows why they bring him everywhere.  

"I don't have magic, never have. No one does, and as soon as all of you shut up and get that through your head maybe this stupid curse would end and you would get you magic back and leave me alone. " The room fell silent and everyone was looking at me. I looked down at the tea and cakes in front at me. Mr. and Mrs. Hatter did an excellent job.  The party ended before I knew it and everyone was saying goodbye I was still seated, the Hatter said goodbye to me and once everyone was out I stood from my seat, turned and ran straight into someone.
