Hey I wasn't planning on updating but then I heard it was someone's birthday! Happy Birthday, Ellafreak! I'm guessing you're…15? It says in your profile that you were 14 so I'm guessing you are now 15!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELLAFREAK!

Disclaimer: I do not own Ella Enchanted.

Let the chapter begin!

Lucinda frowned. The prince hadn't discovered why Ella could not marry him. Lucinda knew very well she couldn't really tell him. Just being in his dream was pushing the limit between small and big magic.

So, when she tried to make it that Ella would obey, she realized she was growing tired. She knew that if she tried any harder, she would then go into big magic and Mandy would have a good laugh at her after scolding her. So she just managed to say a few words, trying not to give the curse away. But the prince was too tied up in his rejection to realize she was helping! Ugh, how infuriating!

She sighed. Well, then, she supposed she would just try again!

I was with Ella at the bank of a river. The moonlight played on the water. She watched it. Her bare legs were in the water, her petticoats and dress pulled up.

She watched it, her eyes shining happily. "It's so beautiful, Char…" she whispered.

I whispered to her, "So are you."

We both looked into each other's eyes and slowly we grew closer and closer together…

Then we kissed. I never wanted to move or leave. I was finally with Ella; finally she was mine.

"Ella of Frell…" I said after I reluctantly pulled away. She looked at me with curious eyes. "Ella of Frell…I am deeply in love with and forever shall be."

Her eyes filled with tears. "And I, you, Prince Charmont of Kyrria."

"Char," I gently corrected her.

"Char, then…" we then moved in for another kiss.

I pulled away slowly and looked at her. I needed her like I needed oxygen. Without her, I would suffocate. She was like food; without her, I would starve. She was like water; without her, I would die of thirst. I needed her so badly it made my heart ache so bad.

"Marry me, Ella. Ella, marry me…" I went in for another kiss. But I stopped halfway. Her eyes widened with fear. She jumped up. I stared her. What did I do wrong?

Then, without another word, she took off. She ran, tears streaming her face.

I then snapped out of my daze and jumped up. "Ella!" I cried.

She kept running towards…the bright light. She was disappearing from me again. I was going to lose her. No! Not again!

A voice filled the air, "She must obey…obeying…she must…"

I once again ignored the voice and took after Ella. "Ella!" I cried. But she was gone.

Again. Once again, she slipped away from me. No…no!

I sank to my knees. "Ella!" No! She couldn't…not again! No!

But Ella didn't come back…I was all alone.

I squeezed my eyes shut. When I reopened them, I was no longer by the bank of the river. Instead, I was on a cliff above the river. And Ella was there, near the edge. She looked at me and bit her lip. And then took a dangerous step towards the edge.

"Ella? Ella, what are you doing?" I cried. I could only look between her and the long drop down. I felt my heart begin to pound harder and harder. Faster it went…

Her eyes glazed over. "I must, Char. I must…to protect Kyrria…to protect you…"

What? Protect me from what? "Protect me from what?" I asked, my voice shaking. I took a step closer but then she took a step father away from me and closer to the edge.

Her eyes looked pained and desperate. "I-I can't tell you, Char!" She then took another step. Her feet were on the edge now and, to my horror, some rocks fell below. I faintly heard the plop as they hit the water. I winced thinking of Ella hitting the water like the rocks.

Ella said, tears streaming down her beautiful face, "Goodbye, Char. Goodbye forever." She squeezed her eyes shut.

My heart sped up and I suddenly leaped forward to grab Ella to safety. But I was a moment too late. She stepped backwards and plunged over the edge.

I heard my voice scream her name and I heard the desperation, horror, and pain in it. I ran to the edge but saw nothing but…a cloak floating to the top. The same one Ella had been wearing only moment before.

It seemed as if I was watching this out of my body. I saw myself fall to my knees, a look of horror and pain in them. And then I screamed, "NO!"

Ella was forever gone from me. She would never return. She was nowhere to be found. I…lost Ella…Ella of Frell.

"NO!"

Okay, I hope that was a good happy birthday present!

Oh and about the indenting problem, I figured out what's wrong so never mind!

Ok that's all for now!

Okay, I'm going to try something here. Since these chapters seem to be getting smaller and smaller, why ask for reviews if the chapter is short? So, for the next chapter, pretend it's super long. Then I'll ask for a lot of reviews. But if it's short, I'll ask for little reviews!

My next chapter is 10 pages on Micro Soft Word. Can I get 15 reviews before I update?

Please review!
