Substituting Cinderella (Twisted Tales Series #1)

Prologue

The big wall clock starts to struck and made a deafening sound which indicates that it was already midnight. Cinderella did really forget what her fairy Godmother's warning.

Cinderella just stopped dancing and run away and did not even bid her goodbye to the handsome prince she was dancing with.

"Hey, please don't run away my princess." The prince said and tried to run after Cinderella. Cinderella just looked behind her and gave her an apologetic smile.

"Guards! Put the door close and even gates, don't let the princess run away and escape!" the prince ordered.

Cinderella run as fast as she could when she heard the prince's order. She ran away from the prince even if  her hearts desired to be locked at the prince warm embrace. She never imagine she could run as fast as she could.

"Teacher! Teacher Cindy, will the Prince catches Cinderella?" My innocent kid asked.

Shesmiled at me cutely and  I get down into my pupil's level. I am now sitting on the floor too.

"I don't know, let's find out, ready to listen again?" I asked and continue reading the story.

When Cinderella reached the stair, she tried to look behind her only to find out that the Prince was still after her.

"Please, my lady. Just you're name and I promise to look for you." The Prince pleaded.

Again, Cinderella run faster than how she ran a moment ago. She never imagined she could run so fast in her whole life.

"I'm sorry, I just can't." She was panting as she spoke.

"Please don't run away." The Prince stopped a bit and tries to catch his breathing back to normal and run after the run away princess again.

"Please, let me go!" Cinderella pleaded it too, and as she spoke a stone were cast in her heart. She's in the middle of the stair, her shoes was suddenly removed. She tried to get back and get it but the Prince is too near so she decided to just continue running away from the Prince.

"Please, just your name!" The Prince shouted when he realized that he can't run after Cinderella anymore, he stopped where the glass slipper left, he picked it hoping that through this, she could find the mystery girl that will surely hunt him in his dreams.

"Teacher, teacher! I have another question." The same kid interrupts me from reading the story.

"What is it? Baby?" I smiled as I listen to her curiosity.

"How can be the shoes removed in her when it exactly fits her foot? That's too impossible, teacher." That made me think too, well she has a point.

"I don't know either." I answered.

"Read! Read! Read!" The kids chanted in chorus.

"Okay! Okay! Lend me your ears then, kids." I chuckled and then continue reading the story.

Cinderella felt relieved when she passed the open gates of the kingdom before it can even closed. She run to her waiting magical carousel and asked her friends to go.

Cinderella looked back to the kingdom, it will forever reminds her of her one sweet night. One magical dance with the Prince she can't help but to sigh with a heavy heart.

Some of the kingdom's knights run after her. She felt nervous again. While the horses were running.

The spell cast by the godmother suddenly disappeared, and everything turned back into normal.

The elegant carousel turned back into a big squash, the horses turns into mouses, and the poor Cinderella, her beautiful and elegant gown turn into her usual dress, a dress that is full of dirt and looks like a rags, but one thing that left was the other pair of the glass slipper.
