Hello everyone just to let you know this is my first fanfic so it might not be very good but when you read it comment leave all your comments and tips for me, thanks!.
I woke up to the sound off horse hoofs trotting down the stony path, Dad would be home soon. I sat up in bed and curled my knees up to my chest hugging them for comfort, my dad was hardly ever home.
"Money Ella, I need to go out and earn us a living", he had said, he always said, but there was no us anymore not since mum had passed away was just me and him.
"Ella darling", Mandy called up to me, "Ella sweet, you up yet". I gave out a little mumble which sounded like yes.
"get washed and dressed your father will be here soon, quickly Ella", she called. I immediately got washed and dressed throwing on a gown and splashing cold water onto my face, I felt wet and sick she didn't mean to make do anything, it's just when she was in a rush she'd shout an order and of course I would have to follow it. I walked solemnly down the spiral staircase just in time to see Bertha, she touted at the site of me and walked off. I walked to a mirror and saw How bad I looked my hair was like a birds nest, clumped together to form a knot and my face was pale my eyes were all red and sore, I'd been crying again I never cried when mother was here she would always take me in her arms and hold me close whenever I was upset, she couldn't anymore. I don't know what I'm doing its been 2 years since my mum died.
when I walked into the kitchen Mandy was there making my favourite, oatmeal and cinnamon she had a special way of making it taste extra special, well she was a fairy.
She almost fainted when she saw me,"Ella for goodness sake"she cried, she looked like she'd seen a ghost, I started laughing. I was still laughing when Mandy served the oatmeal," young lady stop it" she whispered sharply. "That's mean you said you would never order me again!, you promised",I cried. She glared at me and I knew immediately to stop I tore my eyes away from her and started shovelling down my porridge, carefully avoiding contact with Mandy's challenging gaze.
once I had finished eating I went straight up to my mums room, well what was left of it. I sat down on the carpet and breathed in her strong sweet but faded scent, I scanned the room there wouldn't be much left of it when dad got back he said he was going to sell the vase next, I couldn't believe it that was my present to her for her birthday, I had screamed and kicked my mother was falling apart and I couldn't put her back together she was being sold.
There was someone at the door, DAD, I ran down the stairs and flung myself and the door as it began to open. There was a scream and I looked up to find it wasn't my dad I was clinging to it was a tall Women covered in black velvet, my dad started laughing but you could tell he was embarrassed,"kids,she's just hugging you for attention", he said prising me off of her. There where two other girls one looked older then me and one looked around my age.
"Ella this is Hatty and Olive", he said pointing to them in turn so that I could curtsey to each then he spun round an pointed to the tall skinny lady
"And is is lady Olga, she new your new mother"
