This will be a story about Elena and how she ended becoming the bitch troll in the original FSOG!
I have quite conflicting feelings when it comes to her. She always intrigued me and I just thought it would be interesting finding out how a little girl grew up to become such a dark and twisted woman!
The story will be about her, even though some of the characters we love so much show up to make an appearance, she will be the heart of the story!
I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think! ;)

"Daddy...Daddy wake up!"
Hun? Why is daddy sleeping already? And why isn't daddy waking up? I touch his face and he's so cold, too cold! He's always warm, and that's why I love to curl up in his lap so he can read for me and keep me warm and cosy...but he's not waking up now.
I jump on the bed and shake him but he's still sleeping...maybe he's just tired. He works a lot, mommy is always saying he works too much.
Where is mommy? She's always in bed with daddy when he is...Maybe mommy can wake daddy up and we can read my story. I call out for mommy. I don't like to yell but I'm tired and I don't want to go after her now.
"Mommy? Mommy! Where are you?"
I'm getting scared, daddy is still sleeping and he's not waking up. He always wakes up when I call him, he always wakes up and puts me next to him in bed so we can read together...but he's not waking up...and mommy isn't here! Where is she?
I call for her but she doesn't come...I'm scared! I feel cold and I can't go to daddy because he's so cold too...I want daddy...and mommy! Are they angry with me? I don't know what's going on...
"Mommy! Daddy! I'm scared! Please!"
I yell but nobody says anything, so I start crying. I'm so scared I don't know what to do! I run out of daddy's room and I go search the whole house for mommy, but she's not here!
Where is she? I feel all alone because she's not here and daddy isn't waking up! What do I do? I don't want to be alone! Maybe I go back to daddy and wait for him to wake up! yeah, I'll do that!
I'm in daddy's room. He's still sleeping. I see his phone next to the bed and I run for it. I'll call mommy! Then she'll come back home and wake daddy up and we'll read the story and everything will be ok. Yeah, that's it! I call mommy and she'll come!
"Mommy! Mommy it's me Wena"
"Elena? Why are you calling me? Where's your dad?"
"He's sleeping! I tried to wake daddy but he's still sleeping! Mommy I'm scared! Daddy's so cold! And he always wakes up when I call him! But not this time! Can you come home mommy?"
"Ok baby calm down! Mommy is coming home in a minute! Stay with dad, I'll be there as soon as I can ok? Don't worry, daddy is just tired. Don't worry honey. I'll be right there"
"Ok mommy! Hurry up please!"
Ok mommy is coming! I just have to wait. I'll stay next to daddy. He's still cold but I get under the blankets and just snuggle close to him. I try to warm him up, he's too cold. I don't like him this cold. I love daddy, he's the best daddy in the whole wide world! He's so good to me and I love him sooo much! But I'm scared he's still sleeping! This is so weird...I get closer to daddy and hug him so he knows I'm here. He doesn't move but I keep hugging him. I love him so much! He's so funny and good to me. I just love him! So much!
"...? Where are you sweetie?"
"I'm with daddy. He's sleeping!"
Mommy! Mommy's here!
"Get up sweetie. Let me check on daddy ok?"
Mommy seems worried...
"O-Ok mommy."
I jump out of the bed like a good girl and let mommy see daddy. She doesn't seem happy. She looks sad now...But why?
"Ahh! OMG! NO! OMG! Ok. Ok. Honey, I need you to go to your room ok? Mommy needs to take care of daddy, he's sick right now. Can you do that?"
She scared me with her yelling. I don't like yelling, I always cry when they yell at me. So I don't make them mad may times so I don't get yelled at. I'm a good girl. Mommy always says that. I love mommy too.
"Honey, go to your room please ok? Be a good girl and do what mommy's asking ok?"
She's crying. Why is mommy crying? I don't like to see her crying, makes me sad. So I do what I always do when she's crying, I give a big hug.
"Mommy you're crying. Don't cry. I'm here"
"Oh honey. I love you so much. I'm not crying, I'm ok. Trust mommy. Just go to your room and stay there ok? I'll be there in a minute. Go on sweetie"
I do as mommy says after giving her a big kiss on her cheek. I don't want to upset mommy. She looks sad already. I'm really confused. Mommy was crying I know she was. But I don't want to upset her. I'll just be a good girl and wait for her in my room. Yes, I'll be a good girl and wait for mommy to come in. Or daddy. Daddy would be better because I really want to read him a story! I love daddy! So much!
I stay in my room for a long time. I'm getting sleepy. And I haven't read my bedtime story yet because daddy hasn't ome to read it with me. I want to find him and ask him to read the story but mommy told me to stay in the room. She said she would come in a minute but it has been a lot of minutes and she still hasn't come.
I hear the door bell. Who could that be? It's really late and mommy and daddy don't really get visitors this late. I want to tak a peek and see who's ringing the bell but I don't want to upset mommy. But I'm really curious. Maybe if I keep really quiet she won't listen to me and know I'm sneaking around. Yeah, I'll be quiet as a little mouse.
I walk to my parent's room, trying not to make a sound, and when I see people going into the room I stop. I hide behind the big plant we have near their room and just watch. I never saw these people before. What are they doing here? And why are they in my parent's room now? It's late and we should be sleeping!
I want to know what's going on so I stop hiding and just go into their room. I hope mommy doesn't get mad at me. I'm just worried. And a little scared.
I'm so tiny and so quiet nobody notices I'm in the room. They're talking and my mommy is crying very loud and it's making me want to cry too.
"I'm so sorry Mrs. Smith. Your husband is dead. We'll have to do an autopsy to be sure what exactly happened. I'm sorry for your loss mam, I really am."
What? Who's dead? Her husband? But...That's daddy, my daddy. He's not dead. That woman is silly. He's just sleeping. He'll wake up in the morning and everything will be fine. But mommy is crying. She believes that woman? I get mad at that woman for making mommy cried!
"Why are you saying that? You're making mommy cry! Daddy is just sleeping! Stop being so mean to mommy!"
"Honey, what are you doing here? I told you to stay in the room"
"I'm sorry mommy. I stayed there but you took so long. And then I heard the door bell and these people comming in. I wanted to know what was going on. It's really late mommy, we should be sleeping. Daddy is already sleeping, so we should be sleeping too. You have work tomorrow and I have to go to school. Can we just go to bed and sleep?"
"Oh honey. Oh sweetie. I'm so sorry. Come with mommy, I need to tell you something ok? Come on, let's go to your room"
Mommy takes my hand and tells the people in the room she won't be long so they should wait for her. Why? They should leave. It's late and we have to sleep. I don't get it but I stay quiet. I don't want to upset mommy, she was crying before because of what that mean woman said.
"Honey, I need to tell you something but I need to be a good girl and stay calm ok? This is going to be hard but we'll get through this. You have mommy and I have you right? We love each other right?"
"Of course mommy. I love you so much! And daddy! I love you both so much!"
"Oh honey. Omg, I'm so sorry. I hoped I would never have to tell you this. Never. I'm really sorry honey. But daddy isn't sleeping anymore. Daddy died honey. He died in his sleep. He won't wake up anymore. He's gone sweetheart. I'm so sorry"
What? What is she talking about? That's what the mean woman said! Why is she being mean too? She loves daddy! And she loves me! Why would she say this to hurt me? I want to cry! Mommy is being mean! Daddy didn't die!
"Mommy, daddy's just sleeping! He's just tired from working too much! That's all! He'll wake up and we'll just have a nice breakfast like always. And he'll drive me to school like he always do and I'll kiss him goodbye like I always do. Daddy is just sleeping. He can't die because he's my daddy and he'll live forever. He said so. That mean woman was lying. Don't be sad. He's ok, he'll wake up tomorrow and everything we'll be ok. Don't listen to her. She's just being silly! Daddy would never leave us. He promised to stay with us forever. And daddy always keeps his promises. Always!"
Mommy just stares at me and says nothing. And then she just grabs me and hugs me so tight I can't breathe. And then she starts crying again. No, I made mommy cry! No no no mommy stop! I don't want her to be sad! I love her! And daddy! I'm a good girl! I don't make them sad! No!
"Mommy stop crying! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you cry! Please mommy!"
"Oh Sweetie. I'm crying because I'm heartbroken. It's not your fault. You're just too young to understand and I'm so sorry you have to go through this now. You loved daddy so much. I'm so sorry sweetie. I'm so sorry"
"I love daddy. Why are you sorry mommy? You did nothing wrong! That woman was lying and that is wrong! You should go there and ask her to leave! We have to go to bed and sleep or we'll be late tomorrow morning! Come on mommy, let's go tell them to leave"
"Sweetie. I need you to listen to me ok?"
"Ok mommy."
"Daddy isn't sleeping. Daddy is dead. He's not waking up. He won't ever wake up again. I know it will be harf for you to believe it. I'm so sorry we have to do this. But I need you to see it. You need to see it to believe. Come on honey"
Mommy takes my hand and we're walking back to their room. Why is she saying this? It's making me sad! And mad! Mommy is being mean and I don't like it! I'll tell dad when he wakes up, he has to know! I hate it when people are mean!
"Sweetie, there's daddy. Now you know that when people are sleeping or awake they always breathe right?"
I nod, but say nothing. I'm mad at her for doing this to me.
"Ok. Come here sweetie. Can you see daddy breathing? Put your hand on his chest? Do you feel his heart beating?"
I do as she says but I don't feel it. He's cold, and his heart is not beating. I put my ear next to his chest so I can hear better but I hear nothing. I put a finger under his nose to feel his breathing but there's nothing there...
Daddy isn't breathing. And his heart isn't beating...But that means...That he's not sleeping...Daddy is dead...No. No. No. No. Daddy can't be dead...I can't think it. No! He's my daddy! Mine! My daddy will never die! He promised! Oh no! He promised! He always keeps his promises! Always! No, please god no! I love daddy, I need daddy! I want daddy! Now! I want him to wake up right now!
"Daddy, wake up! Stop sleeping and wake up! Please daddy! Please! I need you daddy! Don't leave me! You promised! You promised you would be my daddy forever! I would be your little bumblebee forever remember? Daddy! Wake up! I love you daddy please! Wake up! Don't leave me! Please! DADDY!"
I'm crying and yelling and slapping daddy! I just want him to wake up! I slap him because that would make him mad but at least he would wake up and ground me! But he's sleeping. And his heart isn't beating. And he's not breathing. And he's cold, so very cold. Daddy's dead. My daddy is dead. My daddy is gone. And I love him so much. He's gone...
"Sweetie, come here. I'm so sorry. But you had to see it. We have to let daddy go. We have to say goodbye to him. He's in a better place now. And someday we'll meet him there. He will be waiting for us and we'll be together again. All of us. Ok? I'm so sorry honey. We have to be strong now. For daddy. He would have wanted us to be strong."
"Ok mommy."
Mommy is right. I'm sad, so sad. I never felt like this before but mommy is right. Daddy wouldn't want us to be sad. He hated seeing me cry, or mommy. He always said it broke his heart when he did. His heart is not beating anymore but I don't want to break it anyway. I love daddy so I'll be a good girl. I'll make him proud of me. I'll help mommy and be a good girl. For daddy. I'll be the best bumblebee he could ever wish for. I'll make him proud of me. And I will always love him. He will always be my daddy. And I will miss him forever.
"Can you say goodbye to daddy? You can tell him anything you want. He will listen to everything you say and when we get to see him again he will remember everything and you'll be happy. Be strong honey. Mommy is right here"
I don't want to say goodbye. If we're going to see him again why do I have to say goodbye? I hate goodbyes. They make me sad and I don't want to be sad. I'm already sad. I want to be strong for daddy. And for mommy. She's still crying and she's holding me so tight. I don't mind. She's sad too. And I love her. I know she needs me to be a strong girl. So I'll do it. For her. And for daddy.
"Goodbye daddy. I love you. I will always love you. You'll always be my daddy. And I forgive you for leaving me when you promised you wouldn't. I love you daddy. So I forgive you. And don't worry. I'll take care of mommy. I know you would want to me to do it so I will. We'll be strong and we'll never forget you. I love you daddy"
Now I'm crying, and my mom is crying too. She's hugging me, stroking my hair and kissing my head. Daddy is gone. I'm so sad. I can't stop crying. I love daddy so much. I'll never forget him. Never.
"I'm so sorry. But we have to go now. I'm really sorry"
The mean woman is talking now and she's taking daddy away! No! Stop! Don't take daddy away! He's my daddy! He has to stay here, with me and mommy! No!
"No! He's my daddy! DON'T TAKE HIM AWAY! DADDY!"
"Honey, they have to. They have to take care of daddy. Please honey. It's ok. Let it go. Come here. Hug mommy"
I keep looking at the mean woman taking daddy away! Mommy is holding me and I can't reach daddy! He's leaving! No! Daddy! He's leaving and mommy is letting him go! Why? Mommy loves him, I know she does! Daddy can't leave! If he leaves he'll never come back! Please, daddy stay! I love you!
"It's ok sweetheart. I know. I know. It's to painful. I know honey. Time will heal us. Trust mommy. It's ok sweetie. Mommy's here. I love you so much honey"
I look to mommy because the people are gone and they took daddy. They took my daddy from me. I'm so sad! My heart is so tight I can breathe. I just stay there, hugging mommy and crying. My daddy is gone. He's dead. He will never read another story with me. He will never wake me up on a Sunday morning with tickles and kisses on my neck. He will never take me to see the monkeys in the zoo.
He will never call me his little bumblebee anymore. He will never kiss me, hug me, yell at me, look at me or tell me he loves me anymore. He's gone. My daddy is gone. And my heart is hurting so much I close my eyes and just cry.
I love you daddy, I always will. Goodbye daddy.
