***Sorry, this is probably gonna be kinda a short chappie, I dunno yet.
Anywho, I luvs you. Oh, and by the way, do I have to do the disclaimer
thingy everytime? Review and tell please
Char continued making his way down the corridor until he reached the giant door. "Ok, here it is Ella. Ella?" He turned his head and scanned the hallway. Chuckling to himself, he headed to the door.
"Ha-ha...sweet, you're not still stuck, are you?" He said turning the corner. But the doorway was empty, with the exception of a suit of armor and a painting. "Ella? Are you there?"
He stuck his head out of one of the double doors that led out of the north wing, looking into one of the many halls, expecting to see her admiring a tapestry, or studying a rather ornate pillar as she so often did. But she was nowhere to be seen.
"Ella?" he echoed all through the hall. He stepped out and walked over to the library door, which was just nearby. "Ella?" he said poking his head in. She can't have gone too far, he thought to himself.
Quickening his pace to a jog, Char started to slightly panic. He look in the other usual places, like the drawing room, the reading room, the study, and even checked the lavatory. He headed out to the grand hall, only to find it empty. He retreated to the banquet hall, hoping to all ends that Ella had just decided to skip changing and go straight to lunch.
Walking through the great archway, he saw her there, great brown hair cascading down her back. "Sweet, there you are", he said opening his arms and walking towards her, relief flooding over him.
But the maiden who turned around was not her. It was the princess of Bast, a good friend of his mothers, and undoubtedly a dinner guest. She looked quite puzzled at him, not that she was a genius or anything.
"Oh, sorry", Char said bowing. She smiled faintly and curtsied.
Cursing his luck, Char hurriedly returned to the great hall. He'd looked everywhere and she was nowhere to be found. It wasn't that he didn't think that she couldn't take care of herself, but he was reminded of the attempted assassination that took place earlier that morning.
So at last he put aside his pride, and approached the doorway to the east wing.
"Your highness", the security man said, sweeping into a bow.
But the prince didn't have time for formality. "I need to see my parents."
"Certainly, Highness" the doorman said, opening the great heavy doors. Char ran down the corridor and through the door into his father's changing room.
"Dad! I need to-", but his father cut him off.
"Son! What brings you here?" his father began.
"I can't find Ella, I was showing her to our room, and she just disappeared" Char told his father.
"Disappeared? Just like that?" King Jerrold inquired.
"Well, her dress got caught, and she stayed behind, and when I went back she was gone!" he confessed, feeling a bit guilty.
"Are you sure she didn't just wonder off?" his father cautioned.
"Positive! I've checked everywhere."
"Well then, don't just stand there. Sound the alarm!" he yelled to his manservant. "Have them search the castle and the grounds; she can't have gone too far."
Char ran out of the wing, and into the great hall to tell every servant the alert. He wasn't sure why he was getting so worked up about all of this, but he just knew Ella wouldn't leave him all alone like that.
He made his way through the door to the north wing, when something sparkly caught his eye on the floor.
It was a diamond wedding ring.
***Sorry, kind of another cliffy. This chappie wasn't exactly wonderful....lol. Well, I'll try to update soon. Luvs!***
