Mandy's Command
Disclaimer: As much as I wish upon a star my name never appears as the author of Ella Enchanted it always says "Gail Carson Levine."
Here it is!!!
Ella's POV
When I was born a fairy, Lucinda, gave me a "gift" or as I call it a curse. It was the "gift" of obedience. I had to do ANYTHING anyone ordered me to do. My mother died when I was a young girl. I wished that she would have lived, to help me with the curse. At least I still had Mandy, our cook and one of my closest companions. The other was my best friend, Char, or Prince Charmont.
When my mother died my father remarried. The bride was an evil woman by the name of Dame Olga. My father married her only because of her money. She despised me, and worked me like a servant. My father didn't know though because he was always away trading goods, which is his business. Those periods of time were always the worst because while he was home I didn't have to work.
When Father wasn't home I helped Mandy in the kitchen. While we worked I told Mandy fairy tales I had made up in my head and one's that I knew, adding my own touch. When I could I would sneak out and visit Char. We would talk about life although I never told him about my servitude or my curse. He wouldn't understand. He was like my brother, but he was still my best friend.
When I was a bit older, about 18, Char asked me to marry him. Actually he ORDERED me to marry him. If I did he would most certainly die or I would bring Kyrria's downfall because of my curse. I stuttered a few minutes until Mandy came out shouting, "I have found your cure, Ella! I have found it!"
I was so surprised and happy! She ran to me and said, "I order you to brake the curse!"
I stood there a minute looking at her apprehensively waiting for her to say the cure until I felt the usual feeling of dizziness and nausea I get whenever I resist a command. I walked over to Char and said mindlessly, "I won't marry you!" I realized what I had said and began to cry. I wanted to marry him, I loved him.
"I see..." he said mournfully, "is there anyway I can change your mind?" he asked hopefully.
"I don't know."
"Ella! Marry him!" Hattie screeched.
I turned to her and said simply, "I don't have to anymore." Then realization dawned and I spun around and jumped up and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek.
Char just looked completely surprised, but patted me on the back anyways. "I thought you couldn't marry me?" he asked.
"I can now."
He gave me a confused look, but replied, "Ok."
"I'll explain later."
"Um... Ok."
And then you know how it ends. They live happily ever after.
