Life after love
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the own characters no matter how many time I read the book they will always belong to Gail Carson Levine. Tears
What would have happened if Hattie hadn't taken off Ella's mask at the ball?
Chapter1:
"Good bye Char" I said trying my hardest not to cry
"Good bye Lady Lela I will come visit you in Bast I promise"
"But you must not come to soon I must first get over this visit"
I got into the Orange carriage and returned to Mum Olga's domain, Crying the whole way. Mandy was waiting for me and had a handkerchief ready in hand.
"Oh sweet, why don't you come in and cry I know that is what you need"
"Thanks Mandy but I think I will just go to sleep"
"Ok if that is what you want but I am here if you want to cry"
Without even responding I went into my tiny room. I knew that there would be no sleep for me but I wanted Mandy to get some. I thought about so many things that night most of it had to do with char but sometimes it was how much I hated my life with Hattie and the curse. I heard the clock struck 2 and I wondered what char was doing right now. Was he thinking about Ella or Lela? Was he sleeping and dreaming? I love him and I won't ever stop but my heart has broken enough I need to stop thinking about him.
The clock struck 630 and I knew that it was time for me to get up. I had to help Mandy make breakfast for mum Olga and her revolting daughters. I slowly walked up the stairs and into the kitchen. I saw Mandy there with a fresh batch of my favorite scones.
"Here sweet I think you need these more than the rest of this horrible family"
"Mandy thank you so much, I am sorry about last night really"
"Awe it is OK sweet I figured you just wanted to be alone"
I just sat there eating my scone. Mandy set about getting ready to make breakfast for mum Olga and the rest.
"Mandy I think that I will go to the market and get some vegetables for dinner tonight, is that ok?"
"Ok… but are you sure you want to go out today?"
"Yeah I think it will do me good to get away from Hattie today"
"If you think that it is a good idea sure I have no problem with it"
"Well before you go help me cut up these fresh strawberries and finish making breakfast"
I got up and walked over to the sink, before my complaints started. Once that was over I called Nancy and she came to take the trays to the rest of the family. Once that was done I helped Mandy start with lunch. At 1030 I got up and grabbed a basket to carry the stuff back, then left
On my way out I ran into Hattie "where are you going Ella?"
"To the market Hattie, what does it look like" I am in no mood to deal with her
"Fine but when you return you must come see me in my room I will tell you all about the ball last night"
"Fine Hattie" I said with out even looking back to see if she heard me.
