Mandy flew out of the room, and called over her shoulder, "You can start writing, Ella."

Ella picked up the pen and looked at the paper, as if willing words to start appearing by themselves. She didn't try to write anything, knowing it was no use. She didn't think getting rid of the curse was possible.

Mandy POV

Mandy stood in the center of her hidden rooms. No one else knew about them, not even Ella.

"Lucinda." She called out. After a few seconds of silence, she called again, this time harsher and more demanding.

There came a reluctant 'poof' and in front of Mandy was Lucinda.

"What is it now, kitchen fairy?" She asked tiredly.

"You said that you'd get rid of that so-called blessing on Ella. And yet you haven't. Why not?"

Lucinda shrugged. "I was busy, and it wasn't exactly on my list of top priorities."

"Well you'd better make time for it now, before I get rid of both it and you." Mandy said icily. "Don't think I won't."
Lucinda's eye's widened, and she breathed out, "You wouldn't."

"Oh, I will. That is, if you don't take off that stupid gift of yours. If you do, then I may just let you off with a warning."

Lucinda, eyes still wide, nodded and vanished.

Mandy sighed, Now that that's taken care of…She hurried back to Ella.
