"Erella! Erella! Wake up!" Sandy faintly heard a lady angrily calling for someone. Her eyebrows started to furrow while her eyes were closed. She wanted to open her eyes, but they felt heavy. Her body, not just her eyes, felt heavy too. Maybe because her muscles all over her body felt sore.
'Arghhhhh...Am I still alive? Hmmmmmm... But that would be impossible. For sure, the mortician couldn't recognize my body because it would already be in tiny pieces.' Sandy thought.
She knew that she had already died because of the gas tank explosion that happened in her home. So she was baffled as to why she could still feel her body aching.
"DAMMIT! I said, wake up!" The lady shouted angrily. Sandy felt irritated at the lady's voice. She turned her sick body to the right side so she couldn't hear the irritating voice of that lady. But when she was about to turn, suddenly a bucket of water poured onto her face, and it made her choke painfully. She quickly sat on the bed.
COUGH! COUGH! COUGH! She painfully covered her mouth and nose while coughing. Then she hardly opened her eyes to see who did it to her. But she couldn't see her very well; only her bright orange curly hair was visible to her eyes.
"Why is my dress still not yet ironed? Also, my shoes are still not yet polished. You know that I need to go to Lady Ashley's home to have a tea party. Argh!" The lady exclaimed angrily.
"DAMN IT! You pour water on my face just to tell me those absurd things! Who the hell are you to order me around?" Sandy wanted to yell at the lady, but only a murmur came out of her mouth while glaring at the lady in front of her. The lady flinched and stepped backward. She didn't expect that Sandy would look at her like that.
"Who the heck are you?!" Sandy asked crossly. Suddenly, the lady gasped, and her eyes widened.
"Y----Y--YOU! How dare you talk to me like that!"The lady shouted. Sandy wanted to fight back, but her body felt weak. And her head hurts like it was about to break. She touched her forehead. Her forehead was burning like hell! She realized she had a fever. She looked at the lady once again, but the lady became more blurry in her eyes. Then, all of a sudden, she fell back onto the bed and lost consciousness.
Three days later...
"Hmmmmmm." Sandy groaned when she felt someone putting a wet towel on her forehead.
"Dear! Dear! I think Erella is waking up!" Sandy heard a tiny, squeaky voice next to her ear. Then another one spoke.
"Thank goodness! Her fever is gone."
"Curses to those three ugly women! Because of them, our dear Erella got sick!" Another tiny, meaty-throated voice was heard. She felt confused once more.
'Who's Erella? Who are these people talking next to my ear?' She thought, then slowly opened her eyes to see them. But when she opened her eyes, she couldn't see anyone inside the room.
"Is it just a dream?" She whispered weakly.
"OH YES! Thank heavens! Our dear Erella just woke up!" A happy, tiny, squeaky voice was heard again next to her ear. And she felt something jumping on the bed. She turned to her left side to look at who they were. She gasped, and her eyes and nose went wide.
"R----R----RATS!!!!!! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" She yelped. Then jumped out from the bed. She was very scared of rats.
"Excuse me, young lady, we are not rats! We are mice." The fat mouse corrected her with his tiny little hands on its waist while tilting its head up.
"What's wrong, dear? It seems that this is the first time you see us." Another mouse, who was wearing a yellow dress, talked to her. The thin mouse that was next to her agreed.
'WHAAAAATTTTT?????!!!!!!! Mice can talk?' She was flabbergasted. She wanted to run away, but suddenly, memories flowed into her head like a river stream.
"Arghhhh!" She groaned while holding her head. The three mice looked at her worriedly and asked in unison.
"Are you ok, dear?" The mouse with a yellow dress asked.
"Are you still sick, Erella?" The fat mouse asked.
"Is your head aching?" The thin mouse asked.
Sandy didn't answer them. Her attention was on the memories that flowed through her head.
'What the heck?! I really died on the earth! And now I am reincarnated inside the novel that I am not fond of watching or listening to?' Sandy was really stupefied. She couldn't believe that the famous fairytale story that every kid in their neighborhood loved to hear and watch when she was young had become the place where she reincarnated now. And worst of all, she became the heroine, who is Cinderella. This story is about a kindhearted girl whose father and stepmother got married and became a family of five with her two stepsisters. The poor girl was cast out by her stepmother and stepsisters when her father died. Then they made her work all day long so they could torment her.
And this heroine never fights back against those three bitches! Sandy really hated it because she was the kind of person who always fights back if someone wants to bully her.
"DARN IT!!!! WHY HER?! It's better to be a villainess than the heroine!" She exclaimed disappointingly.
"Erella are you not yet sleepy?" Tubby the fat mouse asked Erella sleepily. She looked at the three mice who were sleeping on the side of the bed. She was really scared of rats or mice, but her fear disappeared after spending time with the little guys. They didn't look like animals but they seemed like walking dolls to her. That's why her fear disappeared. So now, she considered them as her little siblings."I will sleep after I fold my clothes. So you go to bed first with Eddy and Suzy." She said smiling and stood up on the chair and went to him."Are you sure you don't want my help?" Little Tubby asked then he yawned."It's ok, there are only a few more clothes to fold. You can help me tomorrow. Just sleep for now." She replied then patted his head lightly and tuck him into bed. After tucking her little friend
"ERELLA! ERELLA! EREEEEEEELLLLLLLAAAAAA!" Graciella, her stepsister angrily called her. Erella who was in the kitchen cooking their lunch rolled her eyes upward."Here we go again." She murmured. She knew her stepsisters will do something to increase her workload."EEEEEEERRRREEEELLLLLLLLAAAA!" Graciella screamed her lungs out. When Erella heard it again, she hurriedly ran into her stepsister's room."What can I do for you big sister?" She asked her stepsister politely while panting. Then looked around the room. She saw the mess inside her stepsister's room. And she knew right away who did it. She took a deep breath and calm herself down.Very childish! Erella thought.She was talking about the two ladies in front of her. She knew these two bratty ladies were the ones who mess up the roo
"Huh?!HUUUUUHHHHHH?!" Erella was confused about what was happening. All of a sudden she was in the middle of the forest holding her long broom. She was pretty sure she was in their home cleaning their backyard.'Maybe this is just a dream.'She thought then took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She counted to three before she opened her eyes again. After that, she looked around. She was still surrounded by tall trees."What the heck happened? Why I am here in this isolated place?" She mumbled with her eyes wide and mouth wide open. She was magically transported in the middle of the forest from her house. She unconsciously crouched down and think.'I'm sure in the story Cinderella, no magic was mentioned. But........ WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?! Is it some kind of a machine that can transport me right away
"What happened? Why this girl didn't get knocked out by the potion we put in the cake?" A burly man said looking at Erella. The potion they put in the cake was so strong that it can knock out a big elephant. So the five burly men who were looking at the little child in front of them could not believe that she was still awake. They thought about what was the reason why the kid was still awake, but they couldn't find any answer so they gave up thinking. Erella on the other hand rose to her feet as fast as she could.'OH, SUGAR HONEY ICED TEA! So this is not the story of Hansel and Gretel.'She thought. Then looked at the burly men. On the instant, she realized the burly men were bandits.'I think the witch would be better than being kidnapped by these bandits.' Fear slowly engulfing Erella's heart. But she became more frightened when she heard
Erella groaned in her sleep. She was having a nightmare. In her dream, she was chased by an old pervert. She was about to be caught then suddenly she woke up from her sleep. She gasped. Sweat on her forehead was dripping down her face. She was still catching her breath when she felt her body was aching. Her eyes went wide and she felt nervous. She looked around. She was all alone in the closed room.'Don't tell me, someone sold me to an old pervert?' She murmured. Then an unthinkable scene came to her mind. She felt horrified and disgusted."NO! NO! NO! It can't be!" She exclaimed. The whole manor suddenly trembled. The air was gushing out from her and her magical powers went out of control.KABOOOOOOOM! An explosion happened because of Erella's magical power that went out of control. Half of the manor was destroyed. She slumped against the floor still feeling humiliated. Then a young man with
"What are you talking about Aunt Camille?" Maxwell asked the Marchioness. "That would be impossible for this little girl to have that magical powers Milady." A well-built servant spoke. "Don't judge the book by its cover." Marchioness Camille quoted. Maxwell wanted to refute his Aunt but he remembered his Aunt to have an ability of clairvoyance. She can perceive some of the past of the person she touches. He looked at Erella astonishingly, who was looking on the ground nervously. Then he recalled when they did their mission to find the bandits who were kidnapping kids to sell as slaves in the forest, he found the little girl lying on the ground with a trace of powerful mana. He thought she was just glazed by the mana of the person who helped the kids so he ignored it. Then now, his aunt was telling him that the skinny little girl was the one who destroyed half of his manor? He couldn't believe that the skinny littl
"KYAAAAAA!!!!!" Erella shouted in surprise and some of her mana went out of control causing a light destructive wave that threw the person who blindfolded her. She turned around to look who she sent flying away. She saw the young Duke groaning in pain while holding his behind. 'OH EM GEE! I'm dead!' She nervously bit her lips. She looked around to see if there were people around. When she saw no one, she sighed a great relief. Only the two of them in the garden. Staying in Von Heinlein's estate for a day, she uncovered how well love the young duke by all the people in the estate. Especially the Marchioness his aunt. When a messenger from the academy delivered a message to the young duke yesterday, he accidentally fell on the young duke and it caused his arm to have a small scratch. At that moment, the atmosphere of the room turned dark. Then she saw the bloody stare of all the servants and the Marchioness gave the messenger. It was like they wan
"Let her try that baby pink dress with lacy ribbons." Marchioness Camille said to the shopkeeper. Erella showed an unamused face to the Marchioness. It's already the tenth dress that she tried on and she was already exhausted. It seemed all her energy that she had earlier was dropped down to zero. The staff around her suddenly felt a cold chill ran down their spine when they saw the Marchioness staring at Erella coldly. They knew the Marchioness very well. She just looked like an angel but when she's angry, she could kill a person mercilessly. So whoever talked to her was always careful."Holy cow! What's wrong with you kid? Are you seeking death?""Mama mia! Is this my last day?""Beg on your knees kid!" The staff whispered to her in fright. She rolled her eyes to them.'I understand you guys. I felt that too before but that's just her normal stare when she wants something.' Erella tho
