Everybody knows me as the oldest and crabbed Cinderella’s stepsister. But I am not that bad and I am really innocent of the charge. My name is Melody and my sister's name is Lila.Yes!! Cinderella is beautiful, smart, tall and slim but I am ugly and fat. So everybody believes whatever Cinderella saying (of course most of the stories were barefaced lies). Whether you believe or not, I am going to tell you real story of the Cinderella. When I was a just 10 years old, my father left my mother for another young woman. From that time my mom brought up us for 10years by herself. She worked in a restaurant as a table cleaner. One day, a gentleman who is currently my stepfather came to the restaurant to have lunch and saw my mom. He fell in love with my mom when he saw her for the first time. He proposed marriage to mom, but mom refused the proposal because she worried about us might having a trouble with Cinderella. He proposed tenaciously and finally they married when I was 18 years old. We moved stepfather’s house which is big and fancy to live together. I was exciting to have a beautiful sister who is Cinderella so I bought a present which was a bear doll for her. When I gave the doll to Cinderella, she threw and trod it and yelled “you are so ugly get out of my house! Your ugly mom seduced my father and attempts to take away my money! Get out of here" She has no manner and had everything her own way. Lila and I had tried to get well-along with Cinderella but every time we tried, it was torn down by Cinderella. Cinderella thinks we are too ugly and low class to be family member of hers. It was why the bullying and teasing has started on Cinderella. And the story starts that the most of people know about Cinderella’s tale which was written by Cinderella’s point of view. I had many things to say about the story but I won’t get to them because I am here to tell you about the other story of Cinderella that most of you did not hear. It is the story about Cinderella’s marriage at the kingdom.
As we all know the prince took Cinderella to his kingdom when the shoe was perfectly fitted on Cinderella. The story ended with the statement “happily ever after!” But it was as it said. When the prince introduced Cinderella to his parents, the king and the queen, as he mentioned he wants to get marry to Cinderella they were in a great shock. They agreed that Cinderella is very pretty and kind girl but they are not all to become a wife of one nation’s future King. Cinderella was so below the qualification. Cinderella did not know the manner among loyal family. Cinderella does not speak any second language which will be difficult for diplomatic relationship. Cinderella does not know the politic. Cinderella was just not the right one to be a wife of a country’s prince. However, the young prince did not realize this and he did not care. The Prince made marry against King and Queen’s will. Will it be happily ever after?
The wedding day was so humble to be called a future king’s wedding. Neither loyal family from the country nor no loyal guest from neighbor country came to attend Cinderella’s wedding. The wedding ceremony was held next to loud army training camp. The food was disgusting. The musician was terrible. Basically the wedding was not pleased by others at all but Cinderella and the prince. They were so happy to realize this.
The nightmare of Cinderella’s marriage life begins very next day. The prince has three older sisters; Amy, Anna and Ano. Of course they are not accepting Cinderella as their family member. When Cinderella approaches to them, these mean sisters start to talk in foreign language. So Cinderella can not join the conversation. Cinderella was so lonely in the big, busy Kingdom. The loneliness made her to start drinking again that she has quitted when she was brought to the Kingdom. The stress made her to start smoking again that she also has quitted when she was brought to the kingdom. All bad habit came back to Cinderella. She fell into deep depression because of lost in existence. It was too late though she realized that the marriage is not just two individuals, but it is two families’ uniting. She decided to leave the prince, yet she loves him. The prince could not watch her suffering and getting hurt by his own family so he admitted that the leave of Cinderella is meant to be.

Great story.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading Cinderella.I remember this story from when i was a child.I like the way you took a very popular childrens fairytale and told it from a totally different perspective.
I was hooked right from the beginning and was actually visualising the whole story in my head as i read it.I thought your fanfic was very well structured. I like the way you brought some common human traits like drinking into the story.
I really liked the ending which i thought was very realistic .All in all it was great to hear a story told by one of the characters who we dont normally hear from.I hope there is going to be a part two of your version of Cinderella.If there is, i look forward to reading it.
Great Fanfic.
thank you for writing such a great fanfic.
ReplyDeleteI always wonder why all of fairytale's main characters are always happy at the end of their stories. but your work here has satisfy my curiosity.
i liked the part that you describe about her wedding. especially when i read "The wedding ceremony was held next to loud army training camp." i could not stop laughing. ^^
In addition, i really enjoyed to read your settings in the story. it is so realistic! just like the real world!
excellent job!
All fairy tale’s and ‘Disney’ princess fell into love dramatically and live happily ever after?!?! This is what everyone think about the word ‘Princess’; but your fan-fiction has been totally break it up :) I was really enjoyed to read your fan-fiction because it is such a different from our imagination. I liked the way that you introduced real story at the first paragraph; it helps to bring my memory, which I nearly forget. Also, when you described Cinderella’s new life after she got married, it was really realistic. All people’s mind I going to change these days, and now I don’t believe there is such thing as ‘happily ever after’ anymore :) In deed, I really enjoyed your fan-fiction and I think it is such a good fan-fiction !!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a good idea that you use Cinderella's sister's point of view to begin your story. The excellent point is readers can always understand what the character is considering in her mind.
ReplyDeleteWhen reading your story I notice that you must be hating Cinderella starting from long time agoXD
Or maybe you just cannot accept this kind of fairy tales?
For myself, I remembered that I love this story very much when I was small...but now I do not think I still like these too-unrealistic things anymore. Therefore I think your story should be quite attractive to the people who takes Cinderella as an unacceptable tale.
The way you told this famous fairtale is extremely different from that of the orginial Cinderella. It arouses my curiosity to read through the story.
ReplyDeleteThe closure of the story makes me sad.(Two people who love each other can not be together)Are all the fairtales supposed to have an happy ending?
In reality, I don't believe Cinderella would leave the prince so easily since they have gone through a lot of obstacles before they can get married. I think Cinderella can participate in some ceremonial training in order to become part of the royal family.
