Serena's p.o.v

I sat on the grass and sighed thinking how much I had worked today. I was really tired. I had been working for almost 4 hours straight and now I can't feel my legs..and my arms..and...everything else.

I live with my step mother Grace Yvone and 4 step sisters; Misty, May, Dawn and Iris. Misty has orange hair tied up in a side ponytail and green eyes, she is the most tomboyish out of all of us. I like her the least out of my stepsisters.

May was a brunette and blue eyes which really complimented her hair colour. She is independent and always minds her own business. I mostly PREFER her from all my step sisters.

Dawn had dark blue hair and blue eyes and... Let's just say that she has a reputation of getting her own way. Last but not least iris, with her long hair and brown eyes. She is okay but it really annoys me when she calls me a kid all the time.

Finally, my stepmother Grace Yvone...I feel sad already just talking about it...my dad was remarried to her after my real mother's death and he was the royal minister of the castle.

He was always there for me, and we were living happily together.

Unfortunetly, the happy days were over. The time came when fate became inevitable and I had to accept the fact that my father died in an accident.

I was distraught that day..and Grace Yvone made me feel worse. When my father was around she treated me like a princess, gave me whatever I wished, and I'm sure my dad was convinced he had married the perfect woman.

Even my step sisters, were really quiet and shared their dresses and jewelry with me. I was so happy when dad was there.

Now, Grace has revealed her true colours after my fathers death, and she treats me like a maid. All my stepsisters (exept may)make me do their chores and make fun of me, and obviously stopped sharing their dresses and gowns with me a LONG time ago. Not that I cared.

I used to cry every night missing my parents but now I'm used to it as it's been 3 years since dad died now. 

My tears are nearly dried out

Only May is different. She honestly doesn't care about anyone or anything. She just does what she wants. She even does her own chores and when she is in a good mood she even lets me share her jewelry. She always spends most of her time looking for the right guy.

I'm still sad how Grace doesn't care for me anymore, she is like my other stepsisters; the only difference is that she makes me work twice as more for her.

She said that as long as I work for her and her daughters, I will be allowed to sleep on a bed at night and if I work REALLY hard I might get more food, maybe like the crumbs.

So here I am.

"SERENA! GET HERE RIGHT NOW!" I heard Misty's yelling which snapped me back to the present. " S-SORRY Misty! IM COMMING! I yelled back. See? I'm really used to it. 😁

"UGH , WHERE DO U DISAPPEAR OFF TO HUH?! " she asked/screamed. "I-I'm so sorry, uhh..umm...was there anything you needed Misty?" I stammered nervously. Of course I couldn't be rude to her. She will tell Grace and I will end up sleeping on the floor like last time.

That night was so horrible, I kept crying and remembering how dad and I used to cuddle on a warm bed and he would tell me stories about how amazing mom was and I would go to sleep.....

"UMM....? HELLO?! IM TALKING TO YOU BITCH!? LISTEN TO ME WOMAN!" Misty yelled. " aah..ughh..umm..i-I-m really really sorry, I ..uh.. Was thinking what I should cook for dinner!" I shrieked. Misty was still not satisfied with my answer and that made me even more nervous.

"I'll ..umm..Cook your favourite meal...what was it...umm.. Curry and rice!..? ...right?" I asked sheepishly.

" ughh...whatever..fine...curry and rice will do...? She groaned. I smiled and said "coming right up! ..and ..what else did you want misty?" I asked.

"Oh, I wanted you to clear my bed AND ready my bath.. okay? She went on. " okay misty, I'll have it ready when you finish dinner okay?" I fake smiled.

"Whatever..just do it quick.." She got up and went of to do whatever she did.

I sighed. Tears started forming in my eyes. UGHH! Serena you shouldn't be crying! Dad taught you to be strong! BE STRONG! BE STRONG! I kept saying that to myself to make myself feel better.

I did everything Misty said and when I was just about to make dinner I heard another voice. " SERENA! CAN YOU PLEASE COME HERE?" "COMMING!" I yelled.

It was Dawn and Iris. They wanted me to clear their room. As well. "Umm..okay I'll do it when you all are eating dinner okay?" "FINE, YOU BETTER BE QUICK THOUGH.." Dawn said. "yeah, since we are on a diet we are going to finish dinner a LOT quicker than before.." Iris said.

I rolled my eyes..(IN MY HEAD) those two ate so much that one meal of theirs would have been enough to last ME a WHOLE WEEK. I'm still surprised how they still stay in shape even with all that food in them.

I kept reminding myself that to stay motivated. May didn't call for me for some reason.. I kept daydreaming about random things and I finished making dinner.

My thoughts were interrupted my the door bell and I ran like sonic to it. It was Grace. I took her coat and her hat and hung it on the hook and said "Welcome home! You are just in time for dinner! It's curry and rice! ..umm..Misty's favourite.." I smiled.

"Oh. Right..thank you Serena..how thoughtful of you to make Misty's favourite meal."

"Thank you!" I said as I pulled out a chair for her to sit on. All the girls came at once and now..now is the part I get really nervous about..

" so girls! Has Serena treated you well today?" Even if one girl said no I had to sleep on the floors. Luckily, almost everyday they always said yes which made me glad.

"Yeah..." May said. I smiled at May. "Sure.." Dawn replied. " yes, she did mom, she totally cleaned my room in a flash!" Iris said. "Yeah...but she is daydreaming A LOT these days..." Misty said.

I almost got a heart attack when said that. But, I think Grace was in a good mood and she really didn't care.

"Well, she is an adult, she has the right to dream. only... Your 23 right? " Grace asked me. "Yes, I am" I said. "I'm 26" iris said like it was something to brag about. "The rest of you are such kids!"

"Shut up grandma!" Misty said. 

"Fine, I will you little-" Iris was about to finish but Grace yelled "QUIET GIRLS! CANT ANY OF YOU BE NORMAL FOR ONCE!!?" She shouted.

"Anyway...so...can we all eat dinner?" I asked. "Fine" misty got up and sat on the chair while the others did the same.

I hope I made the curry well enough to satisfy Grace. "It's good" iris said. "Yeah, it's actually delicious!" Misty said. I cringed. What was that supposed to mean?

I washed all the dishes, meanwhile everyone else went to bed.
Yay! Even I get a bed! 😌

I curled up and thought about how much longer I had to do this. My legs were aching and my arms felt like they didn't want to attach on my body anymore.

I stared at the night sky and gasped when I saw a shooting star. I made a wish like they all said to do when you saw one.

You know what I wished for. I won't tell because I'm scared it won't come true.
