You grabbed your father's hand as his carriage left. You ran with him.

'Remember the lace! I simply must have it!' Anastasia yelled

'And my parasol! For my complexion! That means skin if you don’t know!' Drisella followed.

You ran with him all the way through the gate where you waved him goodbye.

'Bye!' You smiled.

'Goodbye, Y/N!'

'I love you!'

'I love you too!'

You felt really upset as you watched his carriage leave. You watched your stepmother and sisters head inside.

You walked back inside and passed the drawing room where your stepmother was sitting.

'Ella, dear.'

You werent sure why she didnt use your first name.. but you didn't say anything. You just walked inside and sat down besides her while wiping away yours tears.

'Now, now. You mustn’t bulb.'

You have her a hug and smiled at her when you pulled out of it.

'Yes, stepmother.'

'Oh, you needn’t call me that.'

She wiped away your tears with her handkerchief.

'Madam will do.'

Anastadia and Drisella hurried through the hallway fighting. You looked at them.

'Anastasia and Drisella have always shared a room. Such dear affectionate girls.'

They were fighting, yelling that they'll scratch each others eyes out.

'I think they’re finding the sleeping quarters rather confining.'

'Oh, my bedroom’s the biggest beside yours and fathers. Perhaps they’d like to share it.'

She looked at you and smiled.

'What a wonderful idea. What a good girl you are.'

You smiled a little.

'Well I can stay in the-'

'The attic! Quite so.'

She got up right away.

'The attic?' You asked.

She headed towards one of the tabels with all the sowing equipment on it.

'Yes, only temporarily. While I have all the other rooms redecorated. The attic’s all nice and airy. You’ll be away from all the fuss and bother. You’d be even more cozy if you kept all this bric-a-brac up there with you, keep you amused.'

She picked up all the stuff and handed it to you. You were confused but decided to just go with it.

You headed up to the attic and looked around while putting down your box of stuff.

'Well, no one shall disturb me here.'

You pulled an old bed uprights and laid a blanket on it so you could sleep properly. There was a small chair which you could pull up. When you did you saw the mice sitting on it, eating. They fleed right away.

[she starts putting some of the furniture in the attic out when she notices the mice gathered under a table eating cheese]

'Hello, Gus Gus.'

All the mice started climbing up a piece of fabric. Gus had some issues seeing he was carrying cheese around.

'Go on, Gus Gus. You can do it.'

He managed to do it and joined the other mice. You sat down on the chair and faced them.

'So this is where you take refuge. Me too it would seem. Right…will you guys help me?'
