"I have a proposition," He began. I gestured with my hand for him to continue. "You will sneak into the prince's ball to retrieve the diamond slipper-" "Why a slipper?" I said, interrupting his speech. Will glared at me. I held my hands up in surrender and let him finish. He cleared his throat. "That is for us to know and you to not find out." He stated simply. "Anyways, we will fix you up like a princess so you can meet the prince. After you dance with him, which is required for all girls who attend the costume ball, we will cause a distraction. In that time, you are going to follow our directions and obtain the slipper." I leaned back on my chair. "What's in it for me?" He threw me a sly look. "You will be granted ten thousand dollars for your services.." I took a moment to think about it. After a minute of silence, Will pushed himself forwards. "So what do you say, Storm? Want to become Cinderella for a day?" *** Highest ranking: #269 in Teen Fiction
