Hey, look at that! My first story. This is actually my first attempt at fanfiction. Criticism is greatly appreciated. Bad or Good!
Also, might contain some smut.
It's set all the way from the beginning. Ella from Ella Enchanted will be in this story, but changed completely. I kind of just made this whole thing up like 2 weeks ago. So, I hope you enjoy! Ella might be my OC, but I haven't exactly figured that out yet.
"Snow White, exactly where have you gone off to?" Ella asked her younger sister.
"Daddy told me that I could go ridding after supper. It was wonderful, Ella. You really should try it sometime." Snow White said.
"I have no time for such activities. Father told me to look after you and I can't do that if you run off. The stable boy was there to look after you, right?" Ella asked, putting on her cloak.
"Of course he was. I believe his name is Daniel. He practically lives in the stables!" Snow White laughed.
"Snow, that isn't funny. Daddy pays him less than he deserves to take care of your horse." Ella scolded.
"You should really go horseback riding someday." Snow white said, while getting ready for bed.
"Maybe one day." Ella said.
But the thing is, Ella never wanted to. She hated the feeling of going fast. She hated how sometimes the wind hurts when it blows in your face. Ella also wasn't too fond of the stable boy either. Ella did whatever her dad told her to do though. If he wanted her to learn how to ride a horse, she would. That's because Ella is the heir to the throne. If King Leopold dies then Ella becomes Queen. Unless, King Leopold gets married.
"You aren't going to get many suitors if you go out dressed like that." Queen Eva said to her daughter, while brushing her hair.
"Mom, I'm 17. I should be able to wear what I want to wear. Also, I don't understand the concept of getting married at a young age. It's highly unappealing." Ella snorted.
"It's always nice to have someone around, sweetie. Why do you think I married your father? You'll understand when you get a little older. Marriage is a lifetime commitment and sometimes it's hard to commit to." Eva said, while putting down the brush.
"Is there such a thing as True Love?" Ella asked.
"I believe so. Your father and I have it. It's a wonderful thing and maybe one day you'll have it. Now, run along. Your sister and I are going to the Tiara room to have a little talk about the kingdom."
It was a black day.
That's all Ella thought on her mother's funeral. Princes and Princess' gathered around her coffin. Snow White left a snowflake on her mother's grave. The worst thing is is that they haven't found out the reason why Queen Eva has died. It was a mystery.
"My sweet, Eva, has left this world and is now looking down over us in the name of God. I can only hope for the best for my two lovely daughters, Princess Ella and Princess Snow White. I hope that you all remember Eva as a sweet mother and friend. That everything she did was out of the kindness of her heart. Everything about her was shinning and bright. She cared for our children and the staff at the kingdom. I know that there will never be a woman as sweet and kind as Eva. Thank You all for being here during this remembrance." King Leopold announced.
In the far off distance, The Queen of Hearts, Cora, was listening intensely. Grinning from ear to ear to what the King had to say. Now, her daughter can take the throne and become queen.
Out in the Kingdom's fields, The stable boy, Daniel, and his true love, Regina, were talking about their future.
"I thought we could take a ride to Firefly Hill. We can make it by sundown, have a picnic." Daniel said, while hugging Regina.
"I can't. I have to be back in an hour. Tea time. A lady never misses her tea time." Regina said, while hugging Daniel back.
"This is absurd. Stealing kisses between lunch and tea? When are you going to tell your parents about us?" Daniel asked, while pulling away.
"It's not my parents. It's her." Regina said, emphasizing the her.
"I don't understand. So I work in the stables. She started out as the daughter of a miller. Wouldn't she, of all people, understand?" Daniel asked.
"She does but she thinks one's trajectory needs to keep moving up, and-"
"And I'm down." Daniel interrupted.
"She believes that. Daniel...I know better." Regina said, emphasizing the she.
"Regina, tell her. She'll get over it. What can she do?" Daniel said, putting his hands on Regina's waist.
"Have you not seen her magic? The real question is what can't she do?" Regina started freaking out.
"Who cares about magic? True Love is the most powerful magic of all. It can-"
"Help!" Snow White called out.
Riding past them was Snow White on her horse. Her horse seemed out of control and Snow couldn't stop it. Regina mounted on her horse and chased after the uncontrollable horse.
"Give me your hand!" Regina shouted at the young girl.
The young girl grabs on to Regina's hand and gets pulled over to her horse, letting Snow's horse run off on its own.
"You saved me." Snow said, shocked.
"Are you all right?" Regina asked with concern.
"Yes. But I'll never ride again." Snow said.
"Nonsense. The only way to overcome fear is to face it. To get back on it as soon as possible." Regina scoffed.
"Thank you"
"Regina," she offered her hand to the young girl.
"Snow. Snow White," Snow shook her hand and then hugged her.
Back in the palace, Ella was doing some touch ups on her tiara. She was the only royal in the household that offered to clean her own crown. Due to these acts of kindness, She was always referred to "Princess Ella, The Kind."
"Sister, I've met the most wonderful woman today," Snow White said, bursting into the crown room.
"Oh? And who was this "wonderful woman," if I may ask?" Ella asked, putting down her tiara.
"Her name is Regina. She saved me because my horse went out of control." Snow said.
"That's exactly why I don't ride at all. That's very brave of her to go out of her way and save you." Ella said, while brushing Snow White's hair.
"She said that the only way to overcome fear is to face it. She wants me to get back on as soon as possible." Snow said, turning to her sister.
"That's wonderful. She sounds delightful. Now, go to bed. We have a big day tomorrow. Father says that he would like to talk to us about a certain subject." Ella said, while tucking in Snow White.
"Oh, Ella, I believe she can be our step-mother. She's so caring and nice." Snow White said, while closing her eyes.
"I hope not." Ella said, while climbing into bed as well.
Ever since their mother died, King Leopold has been looking for potential suitors for himself. Any woman that would be a good role model for his two daughters and take on the role of a mother. King Leopold believes that he has found such a women. In Cora's daughter, Regina.
Well, that's the end of Chapter 1. This is basically just backstory and what not. I made Ella the sister of Snow White because it kind of seemed logical. Criticism is highly appreciated. All I wanna know is if it excites anyone. Probably not but then again, I am a loser ;)
