Zoey was the second sister she was chosen as the peasant, she lived on the outskirt of town. Most of the time her Mother and Father were busy trying to get money in the town square. So she spent that time practicing magic. One thing Zoey knew that Celest didn't be that they both had magical powers. She spent her day turning straw to gold then back again. She would give the gold to her parents but, anyone caught with magic was considered a witch and was burned at the stake. When her Mother was around she practiced singing, She sang for her Mother as she cooked and cleaned. When her Father was round she had to be very quiet as a kid which was hard.

Zoey was at the ball in her best dress (a brown rag with only one patched hole). As she was off in the corner only here to see if only dropped any silver or gold. Which was unlikely but, she didn't have anywhere else to go. As she was waiting, a handsome guy in a blue vest and a white undershirt stopped by and asked her to dance. She looked around and said. "Umm.. are you talking to me? I'm nothing but a peasant in brown rags." The boy smiled and started to speak. "Yes but anyone else would be stuck up and obnoxious." He smirked and asked her to dance again. This time she said yes but, when the made it to the dance floor the trumpets sounded signaling Princess Celest.
Zoey watch in horror as the girl fell down the stairs. When the commotion settled the Princess stared at her. She had the same eyes as Zoey. She ran out of the castle all the way home. She didn't even bother to talk to that guy she was dancing with.

When Zoey got home she was surprised to see her father sitting at the table. He was looking at the taxes. The king had been taxing the poor a lot more lately. And Zoeys Father was known as the "Mill guy". Her family had been struggling with money since her Mother died. She died from plague. That night Zoey fell asleep think about the Princess.
