Chereads / Cinderella: Alternative / Chapter 4 - The Woods

Chapter 4 - The Woods

She began to walk towards the kingdom, it seemed to be lively, chatter all around, silence filled up the streets. She hummed softly as she looked around, curious of what would be to come if she continued on.

Cindy began walking through the wide streets, where not course most people were, she walked past a few eye catching shops. Though the other shops did seem alright one store's open window had caught her eye especially.

Upon entering the store Cindy heard a lovely voice, "Why hello Miss, how may I help you today?" Said a woman who looked to be around her mid twenties,

"O-oh hello, I was just looking." Cindy said shyly showing a soft smile in the process, waving her hand slightly as well.

She turned around and started to walk and look at the other stores. When she was walking through the streets she saw her sister, she stood there for a few minutes when someone touched her shoulder.

"Miss, are you alright?" It was a young man. He looked at her hazel eyes and felt like falling into them.

"O-oh, y-yeah I'm fine thank you for asking kind sir." She turned around and saw guards looking at every woman on the street. She went to the nearest alley way, before she could the young man that asked her is she was okay said something,

"Can I at least get your name?" He yelled with all of the noise from people walking and talking.

"It's better to leave it a mystery." She then ran off into the darkness of the alley way. He turned around and started to walk to work. Once he reached his job he opened the door and a bell rang.

"Welcome back, son. How did the shopping go?" His father sad from the back and walked out to greet his son probably. He walked up to him and hugged him.

"It was fine dad. Though..." he stopped talking. Should he really tell him that he met a mysterious girl while he was shopping.

"Though..? Though, what?" His father just looked at him confused. 'Though what?' He thought to himself. His son was lost. He could only picture the girls eyes. Where has he seen those eyes before?

"I... I met a girl today.-" His dad interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.

"Oh! Well that great son! What's her name?" He put his hands on his sons shoulder's with a wide smile on his face.

"She didn't tell me. But I feel like I know who she is but I can't put my finger on it. She ran off into a dark alley way."

"Then she must be some... some murderer if she ran off that way." His father's answer was quick and simple. His assumption was correct. She was the one who murdered her own father, without knowing it.

"You can't just assume father. You don't know her. You don't know her past.-"

"And you do?!" His father's face looked like he was going to snap any second. "You don't even know the girls name."

"She said that it was meant to be a mystery." He wanted to continue but he didn't. "Let's just our work."

He walked off into the back of the shop and continued to make his family's famous pocket watches.

Cindy was walking through a forest. The grass was as green as it could get. The trees were bright green. The sun was shining through the giant trees that were over Cindy's head. A smile was on her face, she was thinking of the boy she met in town. While she was walking through the woods something just hit her. She didn't have a place to live.

She saw a lumberjack and stole an iron axe. She ran away as far as she could. After a while of running, Cindy started to cut down some trees to make her self a house. Then she heard an familiar voice,

"Do you need any help with that?"
