Cinderella's Story: Glittering Wishes Chapter 2
That
faint light seemed to be a guiding star, assuring and leading them
towards it, until when they reached its source, Cinderella, still in her
torn dress and accompanied by her furry friends, they came upon a quiet
chateau, almost like the one they had lived with her stepmother, but
only much more beautiful and grand. Cinderella was awed, but still quite
wary as she was not sure if there was really not a single person inside
the house.
"I can't believe this..." Cinderella uttered just a little above a whisper.
"What do you mean, Cinderellie?" Jaq urged.
"Yeah, what do you mean, Cinderellie?" Gus repeated as them four little mice hopped about on her shoulders.
Cinderella paused and glanced around as they could see that each window appeared to be dimly lit...She was uncertain, "I don't know, guys...Perhaps, we shouldn't intrude...There could be an owner and his family..."
Sprinkles of fairy dust fell upon them and the towering chateau, yet they could not see those lovely glitters visibly and were not aware of them the slightest bit...
"Y-Yikes!" Jaq cried all of a sudden and grasped tight onto Cinderella as a gust of wind blew and a piece of letter fell out and off the creaky mailbox by the gate where they all stood.
Cinderella and the rest were extremely curious. The little mail landed by Cinderella's feet and she bent over to pick it up. Jaq was still shaky from the fright, but Gus and the rest were more excited and eager to know what Cinderella would discover from it...
"Hmmm...It's alright, Jaq...We'll see what this is all about here," Cinderella lightly patted her dear mouse pal and tried to read the name of the letter recipient.
"To: Madam Elise Bliss..." Cinderella pronounced clearly, only to wonder about something long kept in her distant memories and then she gasped in surprise.
"What's that, Cinderellie?"
"You know her, Cinderellie?" Jaq, Gus and the other two fellow mice friends, Ben and Nac, kept asking and nagging Cinderella of what she suddenly remembered.
It was too unexpected that Cinderella found it hard to believe. Gripping firmly onto the letter, she sighed in doubt and turned to them all who was looking at her filled with anticipation. Cinderella then confessed,
"She is my mother..."

A Cinderella Story - Glittering Wishes
Chapter 1
Scurrying to escape from the sight of the castlemen on horses who were chasing rapidly after them, Cinderella and her friends managed to hide behind the forest bushes away from their paths. Remaining as fearfully still as ever, they lay in wait until all were gone and vanished into the distance.
Once everything was perfectly clear and calm, Cinderella could finally breathe in relief. Jaq, Gus and the rest realised they were back to their old selves again, with the dull remnants of the pumpkin losing all the glitters of its once short-lived magnificent carriage.
Seeing everyone has returned to their former appearances, Cinderella could not help but apologise to them,
"I'm sorry...I guess that I forgot about everything...even the time...but.....it was a wonderful dream come true..." Her heart could not tell her enough that all she felt was true, even though it took a miracle to give her a chance...A dance she would never ever forget.
"Look, Cinderellie! Your slipper!"
"That slipper, Cinderellie!!"
Jaq and Gus were shouting out loud for her to pick up that one last piece of an item which preserved the magic. Cinderella almost could not believe when they pointed it out to her...
"Oh, thank you...Thank you so much for everything..." Cinderella expressed with all her gratitude, even though she was not sure the reason why. Somehow, she knew her faith would find out...someday...Holding the glittering glass slipper dearly in her hands, Cinderella got up on her feet and the rest followed.
It was a dark aftermath midnight as they attempted to find their way back to the chateau, yet even with Major and Bruno taking the lead, they seemed to lose sense of the right direction.
Trying hard for another few steps forward, which appeared to be blocked by more thornbushes, Cinderella found herself disheartened and stopped pursuing.
"Oh, I'm sorry...for putting you all through this with me..." She apologised with sharp regret.
Jaq and Gus hopped up to Bruno's head and encouraged, "No, that's nothing...Cinderellie...It's a wonderful dream come true...Wonderful for all of us sure! Just tell where should we go from here..."
Cinderella stooped down and took them in her hands. Jaq and Gus then slid pleasurably into her glass slipper looking at their lovely guardian expectantly. It was in times like this that she began to feel hopeful once again, gathering strength and courage from all these dear little keepers of her kindness and compassion through the years...
They brought a tender smile to her face once more, and beholding their innocence she pulled herself together to stand back up on her own bare feet again...Then, lifting her eyes to the twinkling and sparkling stars above the forest cover, she decided and said resolutely, "I am not going back..."
"What?! What there??" Jaq and Gus exclaimed in wide-eyed marvel, wanting her to repeat with ultimate certainty.
She looked down at them, still with that radiant smile of bravery, "Will you join me...in not returning to the chateau...to my stepmother and stepsisters anymore?"
Jaq and Gus gasped in amazement, before Major and Bruno nudged Cinderella to show her a faint lighted structure from the far edges of the woods behind a very small cleared narrow trail through the trees...
