The Meeting

Day 12 finally arrived. I put on a dress that I had just got with the money I have made. It is sky blue and has a low-neck line. It is quite simple but I fell in love with it when I first saw it. I had my hair up in an elegant bun with little pink flowers.

I didn't tell Mandy where I was going, I knew that she would try to stop me. I left around noon realizing that I didn't put a time on the letter.

I was feeling so many different emotions here. I wanted to see Char yet I didn't want to see him.

I made my way to the Friendly Food Inn. When I walked in I started to have second thoughts and was turning around to leave when I realized there was a solid objet in my way.

"Ella," Char gasped. "It's really you. Wow. Um would you care to get something to eat with me?"

"Yes I would," I replied.

After we were seated at the table Char began to talk, "Ella it's been a long time. I just don't know where to start…um…are you married or not?"

"Oh no I'm not married."

"That's great! Ella I love you! Why won't you marry me?"

"Char you have to order me to tell you. Say it, 'Ella tell me why you can't marry me.'"

"Ella please, tell me why you can't marry me."

"I'm…I'm…" the symptoms started again. I had to tell him, no backing out now. "I'm cursed."

"What? How? Really?"

"Char I have to do whatever anyone tells me to. As long as they order me to. Char I can't marry you because I would not be safe around you."

"Ella, I…I don't know what to say. Char I'm so sorry." I ran out of the restaurant crying. I couldn't help it. Char looked so hurt I just wanted to hug him. I wanted him to hug me and tell me we could get married because we were in love but that wouldn't happen. I would be alone forever.

"Sweet you have a letter," Mandy called as I was washing the dishes a couple days after my meeting with Char.

"What? I don't get mail. Who is it from?"

"I don't know. Well here you go. Don't open it until you finish those dishes." Mandy answered.

"Ok Mandy," I replied.

I finished the dishes quickly and went to my room. When I had cleaned up and was ready for bed I opened my letter.

Dear Ella,

This address fell from your pocket

as you were leaving the inn. I really need

to talk to you again. I do not see why we

cannot still write letters. But I am staying

at the Friendly Food Inn and I would like

to talk to you again soon. I will be here until

the 24th. Please write back to me. I still love

you, cursed or not. Is there a way to break

the curse?

Love Char.

***Thanx everybody for reviewing! I think I might know what I am going to do know, or at least have an idea. Well it's late I better get some sleep! Byes~***
