Time Out

“I want Cinderella to stand over there by the big window, bottom pointing towards us and I don’t want her to make a single sound or move for 1 hour. If she does, she’ll have to wait there even longer,” Drizella said. “Oh and she should have to hold her little mouse undies above her head with both hands.”

“You heard her,” Lady Tremaine said. “1 hour. And every noise you make will add 10 minutes to your time.”

Ella walked over to the big window that looked out onto the streets and positioned herself until Drizella was satisfied as she held her mouse undies above her head. She really hoped no one else would come by. As she stood there the others all socialized and Ella could barely hear them conversing except for a few words, something about new laws for the kingdom.

As she stood there, Lucifer approached Ella and sat by her feet mischievously.

Ella felt a furry tail rubbing her leg, tickling her as she stood. She looked down to see the cat with a big grin on its face, daring Ella to laugh or yell at him. Ella squirmed desperately not wanting to make anything worse as Lucifer toyed with her.
