The Magyk book of Fay Tales : Book 1 In The Magyk Book series

True love

Once upon last month, in a land two blocks away, lived a beautiful queen and two lovely princesses... Or at least that's what they thought they deserved to be! The woman was an ugly millionaire and her daughters were some okay looking teenage twin witches, who didn't know how control spells whatsoever.

Me, I was just their stepsister and stepdaughter slave. I had average length strawberry blonde hair, average height, and average brain capacity. Those were the only average things about me. I was often described as a girl with extraordinary beauty. I had large blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and a warm, pretty smile, known to light up the room. With my perfect complexion, tiny waist and petite feet, I didn't resemble a servant at all. Too bad I was one.

I lived in the supply closet closest to their huge apartment. Not the most comfortable place, but I felt bad for the janitor who lost it to me. My stepmom had somehow gotten three way walkie talkies and they were always giving me orders.

We went to a boarding school made specially for royalty. She payed three times the price and practically licked their boots to get Drizzella, Anastasia and I enrolled. My stepmother has two apartments, and we moved to the other one every summer so that we didn't have to live there, like we were supposed to.

She probably would have made me live at school, but apparently, that would make her look bad. And she wouldn't have had anyone to clean the house, wash the dishes, tend the fires, fix torn clothes, sweep, mop, cook, dust, iron the clothes, fetch things, maintain the bathrooms, and all the other things she should at least have helped me with, but didn't.

Now I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me tell you the whole thing right from the begin- Oh I almost forgot! Now I sound like my fay godmother!You don't even know my name! My name is Ella, but my stepfamily called me Cinderella because I always soiled my dress when I tended the fires.

I woke up to the worried chattering of the rats and spiders I had saved from extermination. The spiders pulled my thin blankets away as the rats dragged my ragged servants attire out of the corner. The spiders helped me dress and the rats folded my blankets. When they were done with that the rats moved on to fluffing my pillow. I pulled on my cheap plastic watch, and checked the time Oh no! I was late! My stepfamily would wake up soon! "Thank you!" I whispered as I rushed to the kitchen to prepare coffee and hot chocolate.

After I had made the twin's hot chocolate and my stepmother's coffee I pulled out three trays, a coffee pot, a huge thermos, two tea cups, and a mug. I poured the cat food for fluffy with my foot, as I poured the tea into the thermos and the coffee into the coffee pot.

I was just balancing the twin's tray on my had so that I would be able to open their door when I got an incoming message on my walkie talkie. "We're gonna be late for school! Cinderella, bring us our hot chocolate!" screeched the twins. They were on the same walkie talkie. That meant they had slept in Drizzella's room that night. They had their own rooms but they liked to have "sleepovers". These were always in Drizzella's room.

I fast walked up the stairs to Drizzella's room, not realizing that Fluffy had chased two rats under the the tea cups. Fluffy had followed me the whole way up and was hissing and growling. "Anything else I can do for you?" I asked as I had been trained to do. "No, just get the heck out of our room!" they said as they always did

I was about to ask my stepmother if there was anything else I could do for her when we heard Drizzella scream, and Anastasia yelp, "MOUSEKILLIT!!"  There was a boom, a crash a sizzle, and a crack.

When Stepmother and I got there the tea cups lay broken on the floor and Fluffy was chasing the rats around the room. Mice? There's no mice. Then I realized that Anestaisia and Drizzella didn't know the difference between rats and mice. The twins were firing spells meant to kill the "mice" but since they were so bad at magyk all they were managing to do was burn holes in the carpet.

"MMMRRP!" Anistaisia had set fyre to Fluffy. "I'm sorry Fluffy, I didn't mean to!" she yelped, scooping up some leftover hot chocolate in the remains of a cup and running after Fluffy. Drizzella shot me her evilest glare and said, "You did that on purpose!" Then she scooped up more hot chocolate and ran after her twin.

My stepmother said "Cinderella, you'll be cleaning the windows, scrubbing the floor, fixing my daughter's clothes, and not going to school, right after you clean up this mess." She put emphasis on the word daughter as if I would be jealous. "But I already did that last night. How did you dirty it while you were sleeping? You haven't even been out of your rooms!'

I was hoping to get a little sympathy from them or maybe even get them to treat me like a normal stepdaughter. Drizzella just frowned as if annoyed by my last comment. My stepmother's expression stayed the same, but Anastasia's face softened and she looked sad, almost as in pure sympathy.

I knew they had a little good in them! Anastasia was the first to shine. Her twin and her mother must have a little good in them too right? "Do it again, obviously you missed a few spots" Stepmother said,

Drizzella pointed at the hallway and tons of muddy paw prints appeared. That was the only spell she was good at, and the only thing she was good at, making messes. "And you didn't do these gowns" Drizzella said.

She was about to tear them up with her scissors when Anastasia pulled the dresses away and put them back in Drizzella's giant closet. "What was that for?" she whined.

"Well I think she has enough sewing to do with this." Anastasia pulled out a huge corset, that was split in the padding. She'd split another one? How does this girl keep growing? This was going to be hard to sew. "Maybe she should get a corset three times her size so I can wait more than three seconds before she grows out of it again!" I grumbled.

Immediately after I said it I was sorry. How could I have said that? That was so mean! Anastasia was embarrassed of being so huge. I've heard her crying in the bathroom, and one time when I was cleaning I found her diary so I read it. It would be all about dresses right? No it was about getting bullied at the mall by the skinny girls. It was really sad and I felt horrible for what I said.

Anastasia heard me. She tossed the gowns back to her sister and stomped out of the room throwing the corset to the floor. Drizzella gleefully tore up the gowns. I scooped up the two rats and put them in my pockets. "That was soooooo not funny!" I whispered to the squirming little beasts. Why did I save them again? They were always getting me in trouble!
