So it is true, magic fucked science really hard huh.
*sigh*
I was sitting in the living room where a doctor came for a check up. Whether my nose are broken or not, are there any bruises on my face, is my face okay, is there any deformity or not, all just upon my mom's request.
Oops, not mom, MOTHER...!!
"Anastasia, sit straight! Don't slouch. Doctor please check if she has any injury on her back."
"Lady Ashbourne, I have already checked everything. Miss Ashbourne is all right."
"What about the swelling back of her head? "
"Its fine. This much of a swelling will subside by itself. "
"She won't became some idiot, will she??"
"No no, she is all fine."
"Thank you very much, let me walk you out."
Mother offered to walk the doctor and his nurse assistant out, they both stood up and bowed towards me. Then they followed mother out.
*Sigh*
At last, they left. Everything is over. I leaned on the couch. I felt like being checked like some damaged product. And if they find any fault they might just return me for refund.
"Did they left?"
"Yes, they left. Mother went to walk them out."
"Hmm."
She came near and sat beside me on the couch.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. Doctor said my head is all right. I didn't turn into some idiot. I hope now mother will find some relieve."
*Giggle*
Both of us were giggling until mother shouted.
"Silence!! A well mannered girl never laugh like that."
That was enough to take away our little moment of happiness. We both glanced at each other and then turned to look down.
Mother bent down and lifted my chin with one finger.
"Look child, I don't care what that doctor said. I will only believe what I see. So behave or I'll marry you off to any rich old gentlemen before you turn a full idiot."
A chill ran through my spine. Her eyes, her voice, way of speaking is sooo scary. I thought no one could beat my mom but this lady won't even bait an eye. Mom I'm sorry I thought you were scary but she is much scarier than you.
"Now go back to your room and don't step a single foot out without my permission."
"Cinderella...!! Bring me a cup of tea in my room. RIGHT NOW!!"
"Yes Madam, coming!!" Cinderella replied back from the kitchen.
The Mother turned and went back to her room. There is nothing left to do for me here so I went back to my room.
I closed the door of my room and sat on the bed. I was pondering over everything happened till now. It's still unbelievable but it is the truth for now.
"I have to straighten myself up. I don't want some rich sugar daddy just because she thinks I have turned into some idiot."
Yesterday I thought if I went back to sleep then I will surely go back to my old self and the dream will be over. But I was wrong. When I woke up everything was still same as before. Nothing changed. My room was bright thanks to the beautiful moon light.
I pinched myself but that hurts.
"So is it all true. Have I really turned into someone else?"
There was a pitcher with water in it. I took some on my palm and sprinkled it on my face and patted my checks.
"I should head outside and see if anyone is out there and whether they can answer my questions."
I climbed off my bed and rushed out of the room.
I was passing through the corridor which is also decorated really beautifully. I was in a hurry to find someone so I was walking fast.
"Anastesia!! Why are you running in the corridor?"
"Oh that voice again, she is calling for Anastasia now. Isn't that one of the ugly step sister."
"Anastasia!!" She yelled right behind me.
I jumped out of scare and turned around.
"I asked why are you running in the corridor?"
"You must be mistaken." I Stammered "I'm not Anastesia. I..I..was just passing by."
"Did you lose your mind after that fall?" She gave a questionable look "Go back to your room, I will tell Cinderella to bring you your dinner to your room and I will call a doctor for you tomorrow."
After all this yelling, she left. I stood there alone, processing everything that happed.
"Did she just call me Anastasia? Am I really Anastasia? Am I really one of the Cinderella's ugly step sister now?"
I went back to my room and stood in front of the window looking outside. The beautiful Moonlight on this clear blue sky is bedazzling me. I was taking all of this beauty in me and adapting to the unbelievable changes around.
Where did everything went wrong?
I remember having an argument with my mom. My mom has two daughters, I'm the eldest one but my sister was always my parents favorite child. Obviously she was pretty, intelligent, ranked 1st in the class and good in sports unlike me who is neither beautiful nor talented like her.
I loved playing instruments and wanted to be a singer.
Sadly because of that I always had fight with my mother about her comparing me with my sister.
My sister always liked the attention so she made it worse.
The last thing I remember is me rushing out of my room after a fight with my mother and while going down the stairs, I slipped and hit my head really hard.
"Did I dead after that? And then reborn in Anastasia's body like those reborn k-dramas !!"
*knock*
Suddenly my rail of thought was interrupted by someone knocking on the door.
"May I come in? I brought your dinner."
"Yes you may."
The voice I heard was really sweet so I turned to see the source of that voice. when the door opened a girl appeared with the tray of food on hand.
There is a beauty standing in front of me. Her pretty blue eyes, sharp high bridge nose, light skin tone, clear skin and luscious blonde hair tied up in messy bun but that just inhanced her beauty nothing less. I can tell at the first sight that she is...
"Cinderella... So beautiful."
"Excuse me...?"
Oops.. I might have said it out loud.
Wait...What if I ask her about what happened with me before and how I fell and lose consciousness. Maybe she can tell me. I have to ask tactfully so that she too doesn't think that I have lost my mind.
"Umm.. Thank you for bringing me my dinner Cinderella."
She was stunned for a moment but her face darkened after hearing Cinderella.
"My head is still ringing, I can't remember want happened before I fell. Can you tell me?"
She replied me with an answer as short as possible.
"You was sneaking some quick snack when madam called for you. You hurried up the stairs when you suddenly slipped and hit your head."
"Ohh... Very precise... Thank you!"
"Please call for me when you are finish."
"Ohh it's fine!! I will bring the plates to the kitchen myself."
"Okay, I'll take my leave then."
She turned and was about to open the door.
"Hmm, good night then."
She paused for a moment and then left the room.
I went down to kitchen to wash the plates. Everyone has already finished having dinner so it was really quite. I was returning after washing the plates when I was stopped by that same scary voice.
"Anastasia, what are you doing out here this late at night?"
"Just.. Taking a walk after dinner mom."
"Mom...? Where did learn this low class word. Call me mother."
"Understood mother!!"
"Go to bed."
She didn't trust what I said, I can tell that looking at her expression but thank god she decided to ignore it.
After that we both went back to our room.
I climbed up on the bed and lay down. It was not too hot or too cold. Perfect for a deep slumber. While laying down I was thinking about everything happened today.
"Will I ever be able to go back?" With this I fell asleep.
