Well here we go with a third chapter! At the moment I am not really sure where this story is going. I am moving where the wind blows me so any plot ideas would be good, if you want to give them! Thanks for all reviews and support! I love you guys!

Ella sat crying. Her pale face pressed against the cold glass of the large ornate windows. It was raining outside. Great purple clouds of thunder filled the sky, their low rumbling voices mingling together with the soft pitter-patters of the rain hitting the hard, wet ground outside. It had been three whole days since she had discovered Mandy's disappearance. Char's search of the cottage had turned up few clues and she was beginning to think she would never see her beloved godmother again. She heard footsteps at the far side of the room and turned to see Char striding briskly towards her. "Ella!" he called. She sighed and looked up into his kind face before clasping him to her with all the strength she could muster. In this difficult time he had been her rock. The one person she could trust and rely on to understand her. Her looked into her bright green eyes and spoke. "I have gathered together my strongest knights. We plan to leave tomorrow morning and will ride to the ogre's territory. If it was them then I promise you we will find Mandy and bring her home safely." Ella smiled at him and kissed his soft lips. "Thank you so much", she whispered, "I don't know what I'd do without you." He smiled back. "We will find Mandy. I promise." "I know we will" she replied, "because I'm coming with you." Char looked at her with shock and alarm. "But you can't" he stuttered, "it will be far too dangerous and I am not prepared to lose you as well." "I have to come Char! I love Mandy and I need to know if she is O.K. We can keep an eye on the children with the book and ..." She stopped short and looked at Char. "The book! I had forgotten!" Spinning away from her husband she ran. Up stairs and down corridors. She ran as fast as she could. By the time she reached their bedroom she was gasping for breath but she didn't stop. Reaching under her pillow she found her magic fairy book, given to her by Mandy. She flicked through the pages, her green eyes desperately searching for any clue that could lead to Mandy's location. She heard Char enter the room behind her, also out of breath but still she didn't falter. Then she gasped. With that sharp intake of breath Char knew she had found something. Tears streamed down Ella's face, her body was engulfed with heavy sobs as she fell to the floor. She released the book from her grasp and then Char saw. A rough sketch that was forever etched into his mind. Mandy. Bound, gagged and covered in blood.
