Unlike her outgoing and spontaneous sisters, Ella is happy with boring and monotonous. She'd rather spend her days helping their mother with her maid business than trying on Delaney's shoes or raiding Anna's closet. So when her sisters convince her to agree to just one night out with the very date-able Will Royal, Ella knows the night can only end badly, and not just because she's driving the family's Ford Pinto covered in Lady T's maid service logos. But one night just might surprise her.
(A modern-day Cinderella adaptation written for a creative writing class last spring.)

Winter's Rose ~A Beauty and the Beast Retelling~
'"Oh, William, there will be no heir. The throne will sit empty for years. Everything your father created will be gone. And you will not be able to stop it." She walked towards him, like the serpent in the garden. She touched her finger to his forehead, and leaned into close, "You will become the thing you fear the most; a monster who lurks in the night; a soul lost from its path. You will be blinded by your own fear. As time goes on--and it will go on--you will be trapped by your fear until it consumes you. You will forever be a monster, and you won't be able to stop it." "No," he clamored, "I'll overcome it, I'll fight it every day until I die." "Oh, my dear, you will not die. You will be immune to death--a monster today, a monster tomorrow, and a monster forever. A soul lost from its path can only be led back to the light, it cannot find its own path."' (The Two Curses) ~~ How can a person lead you back to the light when they are as blind as you?Complete
