"When you're fast asleep . . ."

    "You BITCH!!!"

    Jeanne yelped as she was thrown to the ground by her step-mother. Her head bouncing on the hard cold ground, causing her eyesight to blur for a moment. Louis swiftly kicked Jeanne in her stomach making her cough and wheeze.

    She didn't make a single noise, knowing that if she did it would only make the situation worse. After all the beatings she found that the more noise she makes, the more she fights back, the worse they get.

    Jeanne didn't notice her step-sisters, Brooke and Sierra, snickering on the stairway until they outright began laughing at her misfortune. It was humiliating, but she was in too much pain to care at the moment.

    Finally the beating stopped with one final kick to Jeanne's head. She coughed, blood splattered on the ground, she could feel her tense sore muscles relax. She knew she was going to have knew bruises on her back and abdomen in the morning.

    Louis's breathing slowed as she stood above the panting blond, "Get up. You have chores to do." With that she harshly turned on her heel, leaving Jeanne on the cold hard floor. Louis meet her daughters on the stairs, taking them with her back upstairs to begin their daily singing lessons.

    The young blond pushed herself up to her knees, panting at the pain that was spreading throughout her body. Her eyes closed as she leaned back onto her knees, her head facing the ground. She was about to cry when suddenly a rough tongue licked her cheek.

    Snapping her head up she saw her only decent company in the household. Her small brown dog, Suga. He may be small, but he was her best friend. He was the one who kept her going, even through all the abuse.

    Jeanne smiled at the fur ball as she stood, wobbling ever so slightly

    Jeanne smiled at the fur ball as she stood, wobbling ever so slightly. Sighing she looked into Suga's dark eyes and said, "Well, we should get started. We don't have much time left till supper."

    So Jeanne began her work around the house. All the while, Suga slowly followed from behind, never leaving her alone for a second.

    Jeanne worked for hours on end, both in and outside the home. Even though it was still raining, there was no exceptions when it came from Louis.

    After many many hours of chores, Jeanne cleaned herself up and began to prepare dinner for her step-family. She was to make them a hefty meal each night, her sisters would pig out while she wasn't allowed to have any. She wasn't even allowed to be in the dining room while they eat, so she sat outside the door to the dining room. She would have to eat their scraps again as she wasn't allowed to cook after they had eaten. So while Louis, Brooke and Sierra ate their dinner, Jeanne sat outside the door, quietly petting Suga as he laid in her lap.

    Suddenly, a loud knocking from the front door erupted from the silence of the front hall. Just as quickly and suddenly as the knock, Jeanne jumped to her feet to open the door.

    Once she did she was meet with a very handsome man, who looked a bit younger then Jeanne herself.

    He was tall with sharp eyes and silver hair. His features were deeply defined and he wore the royal symbol on the chest of his uniform.

    Jeanne quietly asked his business, "May I help you?"

    The man smiled at her before answering, "Yes, are you the lady of the house?"

    "No, my mother is eating dinner at the moment."

    "Oh, well I don't want to disturb her. Could you pass on a message for me?", the handsome man asked after some thought.

    Jeanne nodded.

    "My name is Taehyung Kim, I'm the grand duke for the royal family. The king is holding a three day ball in honor of his son, Prince Hoseok, to help him choose a bride. The king has invited all suitable woman in the kingdom, and I'm here to give you your invites. May I ask how many suitable woman live here?", the grand duke explained as he stuffed his hand into the bag he had been carrying.
 
    Jeanne was shocked, 'A ball? The prince? W-We're invited?! I don't even have anything to wear', then the young blond remembered that Taehyung was still there and finally answered, "Three. There are three of us and then thei-, I mean, our mother."

     "Well then here you go, four invitations. Three for you and, I assume, your sisters and one for your mother", the young man handed Jeanne the four envelopes before saying his goodbyes and leaving her in the doorway.
