✨Never Let Go✨

Flash Back

Oracle, Regina, Pastel and I find ourselves walking into a small house made out of bricks. 

"I stole this house from the third little pig," explains the witch.

I glance at Oracle, who shrugs, and then to Pastel, who sighs.

The witch pushes open the front door, and it makes a loud, creaking noise. I shiver in fear, and brace myself, expecting rats and spiderwebs all over the floor. But the house isn't anything life that. In fact, I find the house kind of cute!!

"What's all that noise??" I hear a voice yell from upstairs. Then I hear footsteps, and before I know it, there's a woman about as old as the witch (so about 30 or so) and is standing on the stairs with her arms crossed.

"So, I see you brought guests into the house?" The woman turns to Oracle and me. "Hello ladies, my name is Queen JJGurl, but most people call me Julia."

"Hi," Oracle and I say, shaking Julia's hand.

"AHHSHAHXJDNJJNDJNCNJ," I head Regina scream. I turn to face her, and follow her eyes down to the floor, where's there is a small, cute Blue Kat. The cat jumps up on my lap, and I hold it in my arms.

"Regina, it's just a cat!" I say, sarcastically.

"I wasn't TALKING about the stupid cat!! I was talking about that BIRD!!"

I walk over to the window, setting the Blue Kat down, and look at the bird. It has a little necklace around it, that reads, "Ashvennova."

"Regina..." I start to say, but then realize I'm a guest, so I decide to keep my mouth shut.

"Alright girls, sit down, sit down. I'm sure you both have plenty of questions, so I am going to tell you a story that will hopefully be able to answer any questions you have. Alright?"

Oracle nods, and so do I. 

"Do I have to be here? You've told me all of your stories like a bijillion times!!"

"Ah, but Pastel, my dear, this story is one I have never told before. Now let me begin~~

A long time ago, maybe 20 years or so, i was a maid. Well, I was adopted, I guess you could say, but my family didn't like me very much, so they made me do all the dirty work. I had stepsisters, too, and one of them was very sweet, but she was afraid to stand up for herself, and the other stepsister would call me rude things, and she would just go along with it. 

I remember doing the dishes one day, and a bird came and landed on my shoulder. It was really nice, as crazy as that sounds, because I didn't have any friends, and it was nice to have the bird on my shoulder. Then it did the craziest thing, it pooped on my hair!! And then it flew away, and dropped its necklace on my arm, so it came back the next day to retrieve the necklace it had dropped. When I gave the bird back the necklace, it could talk to me!! We became friends. The birds name was Ashvennova, the same bird Regina was screaming about.

Anyways, when I told my two stepsisters that I could talk to birds, the sweet one, named Sad0ld, believed me, but the meaner one, Eclipse, didn't, and told Sad0le to not believe me either. And as I started cutting up some lovely potatoes, another animal came to me, except this time it was a wolf!! It spoke to me, I remember, and it said, "My name is Wulfie. I'm kind of weird, but we can still be friends!" From that day on, I had so many animal friends, I could barley keep track of all of them!!

Then, a Royale dance was being held. My stepmother and stepsisters tried to force me to go, but I didn't want to. They wanted me to wear an awful dress so I could make a fool of myself in from of the Prince so I just decided to stay home.

Then, a beautiful woman came up to me, telling me she was sorry about my family. She told me she could fix everything, but I didn't believe her. After all, what could she do?? But as I blinked my eyes, the lovely potato I had been cutting up turned into a carriage!! And my rags turned into a beautiful ball gown!! I was so happy, and I got in the carriage to go to —"

"WAIITT A MINUTE?? Is this your life story? Because it sounds really familiar.." says Oracle, skeptically. "What's your name again?"

The witch took a deep breath, and looked at Oracle and me. 

"My name," she said, closing her eyes. "Is Cinderella."
