Hello! Thank you to everybody who reviewed. I hope you enjoy the next chapter!

Goodbye! I whispered to myself one last time before crawling into the carriage that would take me to my new home. I was happy and sad at the same time, my head hurt from thinking, and my eyes had compressed tears in them. Still I was sure that this was what I wanted to do.

"Are you ok?" Ella asked, she had come alone to pick me up. I gasped as soon as I sat down on the red leather seat. This is seat is nicer than my old bed! I laughed to myself. The carriage was beautiful, it had two benches, and for two windows on each side. The windows had curtains that dropped down for the privacy of the people inside.

"Yes, thank you." I mumbled.

"I am sorry that Char couldn't be here. He and Cullen had to go on a trip and will be back later on today."

I only nodded.

"I am a happy that I get some time with you." She seemed to be trying to cheer me up, and I attempted a forced smile. I wanted to be happy, but a small part of me demanded I miss the orphanage, and Miss Rachel, a part of me wanted to fear what could happen to me, a part of me wanted to stay hidden in the orphanage forever.

Ella looked at me and I saw compassion fill her brown eyes. "Will you miss the orphanage?"

"Yes," I replied, and looked down at my blue dress. It was a plain dark blue, with a matching blue tye at the waste. "A little." The conversation dragged.

"Do you remember you parents at all?" She asked.

"A little, just images. Oh, and I have a letter as well, my mother wrote it…" I touched the pocket that I had placed my mother letter in.

Ella moved from across to me, to next to me. "I want you to know that you don't have to call me Mother. Just call me Ella for as long as you need to. I lost my mother as well, I can somewhat understand."

"Thank you" I said, and felt reassured.

The castle was huge! It was the biggest thing I had ever seen. Ella led me through different hallways, up the stairs, through many more hallways and doors, I was sure that never figure out my way around. I tried to remember the different hallways, but the all looked to much a like.

Ella seemed to know what I was thinking, "If you get lost, just ask one of the maids, they can help you." She winked at me, and I smiled back. "Now, here is your room!"

With that Ella opened a door and shoved me inside. In the middle of the wall, farthest from the door was a bed covered with a blue comforter. The left wall was a big window that overlooked Frell. It had a seat under the window that looked like a perfect place to read. A different door led to a large bathroom, and there was also a large walk in closet.

"It's beautiful!" I exclaimed, walking around trying to see everything at once.

"I am glad you like it! Mandy and I helped to make it! She wants to meet you. As soon as you have changed you can go down to the kitchen and meet her!" Ella started chattering on and I walked over to the window. I could see so far, it took my breath away. There were rolling hills, and small farms, it was so gorgeous.

"I thought you might like the window." Ella said.

"This was my room, when I first came to the castle."

I nodded not knowing what to say. Soon there came a nock on the door.

"Queen Ella?" A maid stuck her head in "You have a meeting in a half an hour."

"Oh yes." She turned to me, "Faye, I am sorry that I have to go. After you change into the dress that I put on your bed, have a maid take you down to the kitchen. If you want anything else just ask. Take your time, there is no rush. Just remember that later on Cullen and Char will be coming home. That dress is fine just do your hair up instead of down!" She winked at me and left.

I wanted to rush, but the command wouldn't let me. I pulled on the dress, it was dark, forest green with gold ivy climbing up the sleeves and around the hem. I walked to the corner, looked in the mirror, and was surprised at the girl looking back. She was slim and pretty, with blonde hair the fell to her waste. She was not at all like Faye, but instead like a stranger, a nice stranger. I smiled and walked out of the room to find my way to the kitchen.

As Ella said, A maid helped me into the kitchen. It didn't look much different from the one at the orphanage, except that this kitchen was a lot larger.

"Is Mandy here?" I asked. Nobody stopped what they were doing but the woman cutting cucumbers did answer.

"She had to go get mushrooms from the market. She'll be back later though and I'll tell her you were here. What is your name?" For the first time the woman turned around and looked at me. I watched her face go from a cheery red color to a pale white. "So sorry Lady ummm,"

"Faye, just call me Faye." I stuttered suddenly wanting to be anyplace but here.

"Ok than miss… I mean Faye. I'll tell Mandy you came to see her." She curtsied and went back to her cucumber. I decided I was making the people in the kitchen to uncomforable, and didn't blame them. They didn't now if I was like Ella who didn't like being treated like royalty to much, or like somebody else who turned their noses down at everyone. So, I slipped out the back door into the garden.

"Ouch!" I cried out, I hadn't seen a girl enter the door I tried to get out of and we collided.

"I am so sorry." I said.

"No it was my fault. I run into everybody!" The girl laughed, "Are you alright?" I nodded and stood up.

"Hi, my name is Shaylee." The girl said.

"My name is…"

"Faye, I know!" She laughed again. "You're the new princess, I am glad to meet you. Come walk with me in the garden." She said and I obediently followed the strange, bold girl.

"Ella said when you came that she wanted me to be your friend. So, will you be my friend?"

"Sure," I said, but I wasn't sure. I didn't know if I wanted her to be her friend. What would happen if she found out about my curse. It happened sooner than I thought. Before I could think of a way to slip out a hide, like I always had, she gave me a command.

"Tell me everything interesting about you!" She exclaimed.

My mouth opened and started saying everything. I started with my mother and father, trying all the while to convince myself that my curse wasn't interesting. It didn't work and I ended up telling her about my run in with the fairy.

"Your cursed? Like Queen Ella was?" She asked excitedly.

"Yes, it's horrible." I replied staring at my feet, "I can't let anybody find out!" I wanted to make her understand that she couldn't use my gift.

"Don't worry I will not tell a soul, but if you really don't want anybody you have to learn to walk with confidence. You have to be more confident now that you're a princess "

I knew she was right, "I am just so afraid that they'll find out about my curse." I sighed.

"Than I'll help you break it. Ready?"

"Sure?"

"Faye, Break your curse."

I waited, and at first nothing happened, than it started. My head started to hurt and my legs wanted to give way. My vision started to swirl before my eyes and the world was about to open and swallow me up. I have to break the curse! It was a command. It didn't work though, to disobey the command I would have to try not to break my curse, it went in a circle. "It…" I cried, "isn't working!" I tried to control myself. "please take back the command you gave me?"

"Sorry Faye, Ignore that command!" She said. I sat down hard on a stone bench panting and wiping the sweat off my forehead.

"I'm so sorry, I was just trying to help." She said. Shaylee put her arm around me and I put mine around her.

"Want to try one more? I have another idea…" Shaylee stood and looked at me. I was about to answer when a maid walked around the corner.

"My lady, you should be getting ready to meet the king and prince. They will be here in ten minuets!" The maid said.

"Oh!" I replied jumping up, I realized that I had lost tract of time. "Tomorrow Shaylee, I promise." I started to run off than turned, "Could you show me where my room is?"

I left the green dress on but the maid that brought me to my room called somebody to help me put my hair up. I wandered around before I found the throne room where I had been told I was to meet them. Ella was standing there gazing at the thrown, she was in a beautiful blue dress, and she smiled when I entered the room.

"There you are. I was starting to wonder if you had forgotten. Did you meet Mandy?" She asked. I noticed that she was wearing her crown, I had never seen her wear it before.

"Mandy wasn't there, but I did meet Shaylee." I said.

"Really?"

"Yes, we sort of ran into each other."

"That's good." Ella said, when suddenly the doors flew open and Char and Cullen, who was an exact image of his father, walked in.

"You're home!" Ella said running up to Char and giving him a big hug. She than turned to Cullen and gave him a huge, his face turned bright red.

I didn't know what to do and hung back. I didn't have to do anything in the end. Ella grabbed Cullen's hand. "Cullen, this is Faye, your new sister."

Cullen looked at me blankly, and I looked back at him. My habit of shyness started to sneak on again and I started playing with my fingers avoiding his gaze. Be confident! I told myself, it was verry hard not to continue studying my face, so I looked at Ella instead.

"Put out you hand," Ella whispered. I stuck out my hand and he took it and bowed over it. "Hello Faye. It is a pleasure to meet you." I saw him smirk, and wondered why. Was he laughing at me? I thought.

"We'll leave you two to get you to know each other." Char said and he whisked Ella away.

At first the conversation dragged, I stared at the ground while Cullen just looked at me.

"So, you just got here today?"

"Yes" I answered, the button he had been playing with popped off.

"Pick it up!" He said as it started to roll away. I was pretty sure that it wasn't meant to be a command and with out hesitation, rushed after the button. I caught it quickly, and held it looking at the button. It was black with a line all around the edge. It looked as though I could open the button and that there would be a pocket inside.

"Please may I have my button back." He said, I looked at him, and noticed that he looked panicked. What's so wrong about me having his button? I wondered.

"Hold on." I replied stubbornly. Suddenly it wasn't hard to be bold, it must be because I was to curious to be shy.

"No! Give it to me now!" He commanded in a loud voice. My hand flew out and placed the button in his hand. He looked at me oddly. "Are you always so obedient?" He asked.

"No," I said sharply, "I just didn't see a reason why not to give you the button." I wished I had been able resisted the command, and decided that I would work on that, now that I was to be meet a lot of people, I should be able to resist a command and make it look natural. "So your mother wrote a book?" I asked trying to change the subject, it was the first thing that popped into my mind.

"Yes Ella Enchanted…" He stopped dead and gave me an evil look, "Your cursed aren't you?"

Hope you liked it! Please review.
