Chapter 2: Secrets Unveiled.

The Next Day

Francette's Point of View

It was an early morning, The two daughters were sitting at the table, with hunger in their stomachs. Ms. Lady Tremaine approached the dining table and had her hands on her waist.

"I thought breakfast had been served."

She sighs in disappointment.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Tremaine, I didn't know you woke up that much early."

I say as I bowed my head to her, her eyes were wide open in surprise

"You cooked all of that?"

she points to the foods that was being served.

"Yes ma'am, She did."

Florenza says to her.

"I Didn't speak to you, Florenza. So, Francette, Did you?"

She asked and smiled without showing her teeth.

"Y-yes M-Ms Lady Tremaine"

I said looking down

"Very well."

she smiles as she sits down and looked at me

"Since you cooked all of these foods, Why won't you come and join us in this lovely breakfast, hmm?"

I was taken aback by her sudden request. I looked at Ms. Florenza and then back at Ms. Lady Tremaine.

"It's okay, Ms. Lady Tremaine. I'll eat after you."

I say, declining her offer

"You should go dear, Before she changes her mind.."

One of the maids whispered to my ear I looked at her and then just nodded my head, She was silent, I'm guessing she doesn't take no for an asnwer.

"F-Fine, M-Ms Lady Tremaine, I'll accept your offer."

I say, She smiled.

"Thank you for assisting Maids, you may now go to your chambers."

she claps her hands and the maid left, there are only four of us left, Ms. Lady Tremaine, Ms. Anastasia, Ms. Drizella, and Me.

"So, Mother, why would you tell the guest not to approach Francette?, I heard you."

Anastasia says as she took a bite of her food.

"Well, I think it's only for me and not suitable for you and Drizella don't you think?"

I stayed silent, getting my food.

"Oh, Francette! This taste good!"

Silent is my answer to her compliment.

"T-Thank you, Ms. Lady Tremaine."

I said, my eyes are direct looking to her blue ocean eyes.

"When did you learn to cook?"

"W-well, my mother tought me how to cook when I was 9.. And so on until she died.."

"I'm sorry to be nosy darling, but why did your mother died?"

When she asked me, I had flashbacks.

"Wheres mommy?"

I say clinging onto my father's lap as I asked where Mum is.

"Darling! I'm home!"

Mommy yelled through the hallway. Finally! She's home!

"Hello mommy!"

I say running to her and hugs her leg as my dad hugs her.

"Now pretty lady, go to sleep, it's past your bed time.."

She puts her finger at my chin and made her look at me.

"Get ready to bed, I'll tell you a song."

My head nodded, as I run to my bedroom giggling.

My mother sat at the stool that was in my room, she smiled and started a story.

"There was once a Princess called, Cinderella, she was nice, loving and kind while her step mother, is wicked. Her mother died when she was young, due to an unknown illness, Her mother told Cinderella before she died, To be kind and courageous, For kind has some magic and power. Then minutes after leaving the room, Her mother Fainted. Days later, Her father and Cinderella had notice her mother is tired. So they let her go"

As the moments my mother was saying that, I found myself sleeping.

That was the last time I'll see my mother.

"I'm sorry for the stony silence, Ms. Lady Tremaine, But my mother died because of an Ilness."

She stays silent.

"My!, I'm terribly sorry."

She says, looking at me in the eye, and she looks like she's sorry.

"I-it's okay Ms. Lady Tremaine."

I say standing up.

"And, if you need me, just call me. I'll be cleaning the house."

"Mother, I have to go. I'm sorry, I love you!"

Her mother looked at Anastasia and nodded her head.

"I have to go too mother, I love you!"

She just nodded her head, not saying the three words back at them.

"You may go Now, Francette. Anastasia, Drizella, you might as well go."

She says standing up and turns her back, as she ascended her way to the staircase, she stumble upon the forbidden corridor, and she turns her way to her bedroom, and I decided to clean the house.

As I was cleaning, I stopped at the forbidden corridor, filled with curiosity, I'm not allowed to touch it.

But why is it forbidden?, What's the reason behind it?.

As I look, I saw Lady Tremaine on her way towards me and so I acted clean.

To be more professional, I sang a song.

"Lavenders Blue, Dilly Dilly
Lavenders Green,
When I am king, dilly dilly
You shall be queen.
Who told you so?, dilly dilly
Who told you so?
Twas my own heart, dilly dilly
That told me so.."

I stopped when I saw Ms. Lady Tremaine, Leaning her one arm in the ledge of the staircase and leaning her waist in, Smiling at me.

"You do have a great voice, Darling."

"I'm sorry, Ms. Lady Tremaine, I didn't see you there, I- I was just cleaning and-"

I was cut off when she made her way towards me and put her finger on my chin, making me look at her Blue Ocean Eyes once again.

"You might as well have a pretty voice, With a pretty face."

She hums.

"You kinda deserve to be married to someone."

She says, as on of the maids caught us, Ms. Lady Tremaine signaled me to continue what I'm doing and I almost flinched at her.

"For how many times do I have to tell you this?! I, certainly do not want my house designed like this! Fix this!"

She was mean, but why so all of a sudden?.
