The Other Sister

Training

"Girls!" we ran towards our mother Cora.

Zelena was 16 years old and had her red curls down to the middle of her back, she wore a green dress, of course.

Regina was 13, her raven hair was in a single braid, courtesy of Zelena. Regina wore her light blue dress.

I was eight had a roof over my head, loving parents, and everything I could ask for but something was still missing and before you say anything it wasn't love cause I had tons of that at home. It was the magical ability that my sisters posses and I didn't.

In training, they trained in magic while I trained to be a lady.

I'm not jealous. I mean sure my sisters could do all these amazing stuff but they can never live normally like I can. Positively ordinary. That's me. Something mother would never let me forget.

"Girls!" Mother yells once more.

As we entered the ballroom, we saw a man with skin like a crocodile and greasy hair. "Girls, this is Rumplestilskin, my teacher." mother introduced. "Rumplestilskin these are my daughters." "Zelena. Regina. And Seraphina."

Both my sisters curtsied and had stars in their eyes. I'm proud to say I was the only one who didn't fall for him. I wasn't attracted to him. He was hideous and I don't mean appearance wise. No, he had a hideous heart.

"Shall we begin the training?!" Rumplestilskin asked enthusiastically.

"Of course," Mother claps. "Girls!"

I start to walk out, but then Rumplestilskin appeared in front of me. "Where do you think your going, dearie?"

"Let her go, Rumple." mother walks towards us, "She doesn't have magic. She's ordinary."

But Rumplestilskin grabbed my elbow, "Oh she has magic. Its just she had suppressed it for so long…"

"Suppress my magic?" I asked.  The idea of me having magic and suppressing it is just ridiculous; all I've wanted was to have magic why the heck would I hide it.

"She might not even know." Rumplestilskin smiles, his yellow teeth glistened in the light. "Do ya dearie?"

I wanted to laugh at him; but I knew I would just get in trouble if I do…

So I trained with him, until the day Zelena left.
