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..."

To be continued...
