Hey! Wow, everyone thinks the story is done. It's not! I'm doing all up to the wedding! LOL. Anyways, hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Ella Enchanted.
As Ella and I separated from or kiss, I heard Hattie muttering how this couldn't be happening, that it was impossible. Olive was just looking confused and Dame Olga was red with anger.
I then glared at Hattie who stopped muttering and seemed to shrink from my glare. "Lady Hattie of Frell," I said, trying to keep calm. "Did you know about my bride-to-be's curse? And did you use it against her?"
Hattie's face lost all color. "I-I-I," she stammered. "I d-d-didn't k-know of t-t-the cu-curse, s-s-s-sire."
My face was stony. "But you did know she had to follow orders."
Hattie nodded, her eyes wide.
Suddenly, Ella put a hand on my arm and as I looked at her, my stony gaze immediately softened. "Char…" she said in a little warning tone. I chuckled and put my arms around her waist.
I then announced to Dame Olga. "Madame, I'll be taking Ella. Get one of the servants to pack one of Ella's things and bring them to the palace immediately. Is that understood?" I eyed Dame Olga as she nodded stiffly. I then grabbed Ella's hand and she looked at me, curiously. "Come with me," I said softly and she nodded.
We raced out of the manor, ignoring everyone else. I jumped on my horse and Ella mounted behind me. She put her arms around my waist and I almost trembled from the electricity, the love, which ran between us.
We galloped away from the manor, away from everyone and we were alone. The wind blew in our faces and Ella asked quietly into my ear, "Where are we going, Char?"
Her breath tickled my ear. I smiled. "You'll see."
Ella pouted and I laughed.
Finally, we reached our destination. It was the river, River Lucarno, the river from my dream that we were on.
Ella gasped and turned to me, green eyes shining. "Mother and I used to come here all the time."
I smiled and squeezed her hand. "I love you," I whispered.
Ella smiled and squeezed my hand back. "I love you, too."
"Will you marry me?" I asked again. I wanted to hear it again and again, her wonderful answer. A single word that caused me so much happiness.
Ella laughed. "Yes. I'll marry you."
I kissed her and smiled as we broke away. We began to walk on the soft sand, hand in hand, as Ella told me from the day she was cursed until now.
"And now, it's finally over. I'm finally free," Ella finished, smiling at me with her eyes shining with tears of happiness. "I'm finally free."
I hugged her. "I love you," I couldn't help but say this for the millionth time.
Ella whispered back, "I love you too. You helped me break my curse."
I shook my head. "No, you did it all. I'm so proud of you, Ella. You'll make a wonderful queen."
Ella laughed. "Queen. I never expected to be queen." She then squeezed my hand. "But as long as you're with me, everything will be fine." She then frowned. "What will your parents think of my deception to them?"
I shrugged. "Who knows? But I'm taking you as my wife, with or without their approval."
Ella smiled and we continued walking, this time in silence. Ella then asked, "Char? Why did you bring us here? I'm just curious; I think it's wonderful and beautiful but why here?"
I laughed. "Ella, I think I have to tell you what has happened to me without you." I then told her everything, starting from writing her the letter to now. Ella watched me and she smiled as I finished.
"You cared for me that much?" She asked in a whisper. I nodded, not trusting my voice. Ella hugged me and I hugged back.
We finally let go and then walked quietly back to the horse, who was waiting patiently. Ella then looked up at me. "What if your parents don't like me?"
I laughed. "What's there not to like?"
Ella replied, "Char, I'm serious. What if they don't?"
I snaked my arm around her waist and put my head right next to her ear. "Trust me, Ella, they will love you, just as I love you."
Ella still looked uncertain. I sighed. "Ella, you are almost just like Cecilia and they love Cecilia so they will obviously love you."
Ella smiled. "I suppose you're right." Then she frowned. "When can I meet your sister? She seems nice."
I shrugged. "Tomorrow? Wait, it's past midnight so tomorrow is today. You can meet her in the morning. Right now, I think we should get to the palace."
Ella smiled. "All right."
We galloped to the palace and immediately, I found a room next to mine Ella could rest in. Right before she disappeared through the door, she kissed my nose. "I love you."
"I love you, too," I whispered and she disappeared into her room.
"I love you," I repeated.
