Hey! I'm back and better than ever! Um…never mind. LOL. Okay, you probably will all hate me after this, since it's a semi-cliffhanger. Yeah…okay, I'll shut up so you can read.

OH! And I'm sorry if anyone got offended by the mention of God in the last chapter. Sorry!

Disclaimer: I do not own Ella Enchanted.

Enjoy!

Ella looked into my eyes and I saw tears. My heart was beating faster and faster. I was about to ask her thousands of questions when she broke away from me and began to run. My heart was in my throat as I saw her run away. She was running away from me; running away. No!

She had to lift her petticoats to run and that's when I saw them. Concealed by her petticoats had been two small glass slippers. And then I knew for certain it was Ella.

I was about to call for her, chase her and hold her forever in my arms, when Hattie grabbed my arm. "No, let her go!" She said and pulled me into a dance.

I hissed under my breath, not caring how I sounded, "Hattie, let me go this instant."

Hattie still didn't, just held me tighter. "Oh, Prince Charmont, Ella doesn't care for you. Stay, please."

I finally stopped dancing and stepped away. "Hattie, I want to see that for myself."

Hattie just frowned but I didn't care, I left.

I ran outside but Ella was nowhere. I saw something sparkle in the moonlight and I looked to it. I think my heart stopped. There, in front of me, was a small glass slipper. The one Ella and I discovered, the one she twirled in, the small, glass slippers…Ella's glass slipper.

I grabbed it and held it in my hand. It sparkled in the moonlight. It was beautiful. I clutched it tightly in my hand and squeezed my eyes close. Ella wore this slipper…

"Char?" a voice penetrated my thoughts. I turned and saw Cecilia, looking at me softly. Her soft, blue gown moved slightly in the wind. She looked at me. Then she said the last thing I ever expected. "So you found out Lela is Ella."

I stared at her in shock. She…she knew and didn't tell me? I told her this and she merely sighed.

"I was going to, Char, I really was. But…but something held me back. Something told me not to tell you, that everything would work out. Char, I didn't want you to get hurt," Cecilia said and to my utmost surprise, I saw tears form in her eyes. Cecilia, the lass who spoke coldly to Lord William, the lass who kept her head held high, the lass who took nothing from no one…that lass was going to cry before me.

Cecilia stepped forward and spoke and tried to keep her wobbly voice steady. "Char, you have been in pain so long but never wanted to say a word about it to anyone. You've kept it in so long, Char. You kept this feeling of pain, of hurt, all to yourself. Char, I would have helped you if I could. But…but you have to make your own choice," the tears fell and coursed down her cheek but she continued, " I can't help you, no matter how much I want to. Char…" Cecilia embraced me and I embraced her, tightly. "Char…you love Ella so much. Don't let her go. Don't let her go," she whispered. She then stepped back. "Go, Char. Go."

I nodded. "Thank you."

Cecilia nodded. "Anytime."

My men came down. Sir Stephen nodded. "We saw Lady Ella run, sire. We figured you were going to go after her."

I nodded.

My men had some of the horses and I grabbed one. I think its name was Tranquility. It was a beautiful white and had a white mane. I climbed on and my men jumped on other horses

I left Cecilia at the palace steps and she smiled and waved goodbye to me.

I waved back but she didn't see me. I sighed. Cecilia was right. I had kept this pain so long inside of me. I didn't want to show anyone how weak I was. I wanted them to think me perfect and had no flaws, had no pain.

Sir Stephen, who was never good with silence, spoke up. "Sir, just a question, if I may. Why was Lady Ella running?"

I answered truthfully, "I don't know, Sir Stephen. I truthfully don't know."

He went silent and my men just looked everywhere but me.

This ride was taking too long. I was about to push the horse faster when the carriage stopped and I looked out to see the manor. Finally, I was here. Finally, I would discover the truth behind Ella. Finally.

I jumped of my horse and my men followed. But I did catch what Sir Stephen mumble to Sir Bert: "That boy's in love. He's in love all right and he fell in love hard."

And I didn't deny it. For I knew he was telling the truth. I was in love with Ella of Frell.
