A/N: Ok, I have a few quick things to say. 1. I have read TPOB five times
already. It's my second favorite book to Ella Enchanted. 2. I update faster
if I get replies. 3. Make sure to check out my other FF's. This is my first
book fic, so tell me what I can do better!

On my sixteenth birthday, August 16, the dead middle of August, we had a big celebration.
Dad and Mom gave me my own carriage, and Torlin gave me a parrot. Mom sat us down and told us about the parrot the real Simon gave her named Chock. She told us about the time when Chock told her to kiss him, and she chased him around the room because the curse wouldn't let her ignore him.
We all laughed and kissed my bird. She speaks Ogre and a bit of Elvin. Mom taught me how to write in all of the exotic languages, and taught Torlin some. Torlin, even though a copycat, was an extremely good learner, but you had to be careful about what you say and do around her.
" Vib ol pess waddo," she cawed.
" Dok ench Torlin, Simon," Torlin said perfectly. Everyone in the court who knew Elvin laughed. Torlin had said ' I am Torlin, Simon,' Like she was talking to me.
" szEE AAh orth hahj ethSSif szEE." The parrot said.
" myNN SSyng szEE. myNN thOOsh forns." Torlin muttered. Her face was red with embarrassment. I could feel her pain and I could tell that she didn't know what she had said.
Torlin ran away from the parrot and into the castle. I got up and ran after her.
" Simon, where are you going?" Dad asked
" I'm going after Torlin." I said trying to bite back every word. If I weren't cursed, I would have run into the castle as fast as I could and go find Torlin. But I had to stop to talk to Dad.
I turned and started to run again when I heard Torlin shriek. I froze in temporary fear and started to run again. My heart pumped against my chest and my breathing went ragged before I found her.
She was standing frozen at the top of the stairs. Her hands were white and her lips were purple. She was looking up into the shadows shaking with fear.
Slowly, I crept toward her to see what she was so scared about. I saw it and went rigid. I could feel the blood drain out of my face and I opened my mouth to scream, but no noise came out.
