Ella's mind ventured every now and then from the long walk she was
taking. She was thinking about Holly Elizabeth and Kamillah, of Char, of
Mandy, of Olive and Hattie. She was thinking about her life all together.
The oddest thing was, she wasn't a bit unhappy with the decision she just took.
"Maybe we will go see Grand-dad." Ella mused off to herself, and Kamillah laughed.
"Yeh!" She yelled, and started jumping around. Since their carriage had run off, Ella was keeping Holly Elizabeth in the clothes trunk, and binded that and the food one together. The clothes trunk was on the top and open. She left her other possessions along the road. Except for the book that she had received back when she was still a teenager.
Soon she heard the clomping of a carriage. It was speeding fast, but a woman slowed down when she saw Ella.]
"Miss! Climb in, there's ogre's that way!" She yelled frantically, and Ella scrambled in, leaving her food, and only taking the clothes trunk that was a cradle to Holly Elizabeth. Kamillah was surprised by all this noise, and she started crying, which caused Holly Elizabeth to cry.
"Go, go Donopin!" She yelled to the driver, and off they went again.
"Oh my, where are the ogres!" Ella said nervously, remembering past close encounters, then remembering.Char.
"They are back farther, they were closing in on us but then we got ahead. I'd figure I'd better pick you up or you'd be their lunch instead of us, and that would be plum horrible!" The woman said. She seemed almost as young as Ella herself, maybe a little younger.
"Oh thank you miss!" Ella said, shaking her hand graciously.
"I'm Aba. And you are." She said, dolefully waiting for an answer while they still shook hands.
"I'm Ane." She said, and then leaned to support herself because the carriage was toppling all over the place. Aba picked up Holly Elizabeth.
"What a cute baby. What's it's name?" Aba asked, and Ella smiled.
"It's.whoa!" She said, as the carriage toppled over. The wreckage was all over the place and Ella was crying for her children.
"Kamillah! Holly Elizabeth!" She yelled, and saw Aba was clutching tightly onto Holly Elizabeth. But Kamillah.
That's when they spotted them. Four ogres, running around the corner.
"C'mon Ella, we must run to escape! Donopin hurry come with!" Aba said, standing up and grabbing Ella's arm.
"No, I musn't.my daughter Kamillah." She muttered.
"She's in my arms!" She yelled, and started running. "Hurry!"
"No that's Holly. Don't worry I'll catch up!" She yelled, then dove under boards to find her baby. She found her, whimpering and then she gasped.
"Mommy." She said silently. That's was Ella heard it. The sniffing and trampling of the ogres, right around the wreckage.
"Shush Kamillah, go to sleep." She said, and stroked Kamillah's soft head of hair. She began wondering if it indeed was a good idea to come out here where she was bound to die, and Kamillah in the same doom.
Meanwhile.
"I can't just stand around Orphious!" Char yelled to his best friend. "Ella's out there. And so god, I love her so much. Orphious what was I thinking! Tell me!"
"I don't know Char." He said quietly.
"Well, neither do I, but as far as I'm concerned." He sat down and started sobbing.
Just then, a fairy appeared, right before his eyes.
"Lucinda!" Mandy gasped as she walked out and saw the fairy. But Lucinda had vowed never to do big magic again.
"Not Lucinda silly." She giggled, flipping her blonde hair.
"Lucenda, Lucinda's fifteen year old daughter. My time flies by, doesn't it. I've been told to bless the child born to him, where is that little babe?" She asked.
"I, I uh.she had the baby!" Char said, and sobbed louder.
"Do you not know?" Lucenda said, horrified. "Well boy, lets go find it!"
"We can do that?" Char said, his face streaked with tears.
"Yes honey, we can." Lucenda smiled. "So, dry your tears and lets be off!"
Authors Note- *Yes, I know it's short, but I've drawn a blank. I hope this is good, its sounds stupid as I read over it but ideas sort of just flow out of my head once I get my hands to the keyboard. I'll try to have a new chapter by next week, or maybe the next week. Before Christmas though. Anyway, I apologize to anyone I put through the agonizing pain of waiting SO long. I'm a little careless, do you agree! Peachykeen, thanks SO much for the lecture, you really opened my eyes to how ignorant I was being. Hope you like the new chapter!*
