Gleaming chandeliers stormed above the running woman as she dragged her long-azure blue dress after her. Charging through the ball room, eventually reaching the very steps to the outside. Behind her ran a man, calling out her name again and again.

“Cinderella!” He yelled. “Cinerella! Please wait!” Desparation bloomed within his tone, doing all he could to reach Cinderella.

In all efforts, Cinerella took not another look back before rushing down the steps. In heels, such a task should’ve been difficult but she had her sights set straight. Straight out of the ball room, straight out of anyones views. In hopes nobody would see who she truly was.

With swift moves, Cinerella fled the building, leaving not a trace of herself behind. Seconds after she fled, stood a tall figure at the top of the steps. Brown eyes watched as he stood still, pondering where she’s going. Why she left. If he’ll see her ever again.

“Cinderella…Please wait for me..” he said weakly, faintly lifting his hand towards the distant woods. In which were engulfed in darkness and twisted tales, ones he wouldn’t dare traverse within. His glance took to the grounds nearby, searching for a clue, anything. Anything to find the woman again. Anything…

Days past, no sign of the girl. It confused the Prince heavily. How could one person disappear? One as beautiful as she. He couldn’t explain the perplexed state he found himself in. It just didn’t make sense.
