Prologue: Burning Cinderella
I was so happy to see Lilly. At least I was until she ran and hugged me...
My curse was a horrible one. Anyone who touched me would burn. Anyone I touched would burn. It was the worst thing that I could have been cursed with. Lilly screamed the moment my hands touched her. I let go immediately and gave her a sorrowful look. Lilly looked at me and sadness filled her eyes.
For me it was my biggest nightmare. No longer being able to hug or kiss the people I love. No physical contact with anyone. No people, no animals, nothing. Even touching objects that were on people, could cause burns.
The witches knew what they were doing when they gave me this curse. I had always been an affectionate person. It was what gave me so much joy in life. Now it was gone. I could no longer hug, or touch the people I loved and cared for. I could no longer ride a horse.
The thing that once gave me joy and happiness now gives me nothing but pain and sorrow.
It has been awful, but perhaps I should start from the beginning.
My name was Cinderella...
