happiness. That had never been the case for her before and she was once again reminded of the limitations fate placed upon her.
Cinderella cried out in pain as her ankle twisted on one of the steps and her crystal shoe stayed behind. Too panicked and pressed for time, she decided to leave without the slipper and continue down to the end of the steps.
“Goodbye, Prince Gregory,” said Cinderella as she turned at the bottom to look back upon the castle’s glistening white walls. “Goodbye, life I’ll never know.”
The doors swung open and she was caught off guard by the prince hurrying to her location. All the guests had followed him and looked on as he chased after her.
“C’mon,” Cinderella said nervously as she turned back to the courtyard. “Hurry up you damned horses.”
Her carriage was almost there, but so was Prince Gregory, and the conviction in his eyes told Cinderella he’d not give up so easily.
The horses clicked their heels in approach and as the door opened, Cinderella rushed inside and closed to door on her dreams. It was a heart wrenching moment for the bewildered young girl, allowed a glimpse of her dreams, only to have them ripped from her hands by a cruel twist of fate. She could see the prince holding her glass slipper in his hand, extended in attempt of opening her carriage door, but it took off and left him holding the only piece that remained of the woman that captured his heart, if even for just a half hour.
“You cannot leave!” Prince Gregory pleaded. “Please, I beg you. You can’t leave me… not just yet.”
He had never once before given such a plea, and never before had he been denied anything. Whoever this woman was, she’d stolen his heart from the moment he laid eyes upon her. She could’ve been a commoner for all he knew, but what was sure to him was that it mattered little. Prince Gregory would make sure he found her, or die trying.
