(I do not own any of the characters from Ella Enchanted those belong to Gail Carson Levine but everyone else belongs to me) Hey yall thanks for the reviews. Here is a new chapter hope youll like it.
"I'll take you back to my home and help you find your parents ok." Avi whispered to Eleanor. It was becoming lighter outside by the minute and Avi could now see the forest around her. "No you are not Avi!" shouted Rumor. "You have to come with me it is still not safe to go back!" "How do I now you are any safer Rumor did you not just kidnapp me not to long ago!"Avi shouted "I am going home for I do not believe you!" For some reason Rumor looked hurt from what Avi said or what he had to do anyways Avi did not know."You will come with me, you must Avi but we can take little Eleanor with us to keep her safe also."sighed Rumor his green eyes no longer showing any emotion.
"No I am going home Rumor, I think you were just mistaken when you said someone was sent to kill me." Avi said to him but she had doubts about what she was saying. "I am truly sorry I have to do this Avi but I must if you will not cooperate!"Rumor said softly with hurt in his voice and with that he pulled out his sword and before Avi could even scream knocked her in the head with its hilt blacking her out
Later that same day-
Avi woke with a start. She had just been kidnapped by someone and they took her into the forest. "It was just a dream!" Avi sighed in relief. She looked at her sorrounding and to her horror she found that her dream must have been reality. Avi was in a shabby room. The roof was made of damp straw and the floor was made of dirt. The only furniture in the dark space was the soggy bed she was lying on. Jumping up she started to remember all the events that had taken place that morning. She turned to see Eleanor fast asleep on the bed beside were she was laying. Panick overtook her as she remembered what Rumor had said about an evil assasin sent to kill her. A battle was being fought in her head
"What must I do,I can not fully trust Rumor but I cannot take the chance and go home in case what he says is true!" she thought. Avi was in some predicament. Spinning to the opening that was meant to be the door to the room Avi ran out. "I have to find what is going on from somebody, anybody!" she said out loud. Avi stopped when she heard two men talking"Did you hear about that lad that came in with that little girl and unconcieus lady." the man on the right with a grey beard whispered to the man next to him "Yes I have Bobby, she was supposed to be killed by an assasin but the young man saved her by taking her." The other man said. Bobby spoke again with remorse"To bad in her would be assasins anger he killed the young lasses mom and handmaiden." The other man snorted"No,no you have it all wrong he thought the handmaiden was the lass and when the mom saw that he had killed the handmaiden he killed her off to get rid of any witnesses."
Avi stopped breathing in shock. The assasin killed Aira and her mother,.,., certainly this was not true. Then it hit her that this was most likely true and Avi felt tears come to her eyes. Running through the hall blinded by her tears she ran into a tall muscular figure." Avi , what's wrong!" spoke Rumor worry in his voice. She swung her arm around his shoulder and clung to him" I'm sorry I did not believe you Rumor about my assasin and if it weren't for you I would be dead now!" Avi hiccuped in between sobs. "It's ok Avi,it will be ok!" Rumor said soothingly while rubbing her back. "I might as well be dead with them, they were my life, they were all I had and without them I have nothing!!!" Avi roared hysterically "Who's dead Avi!?" Rumor whispered in her ear. "My mother and my one and only friend Aira, they would be alive right now if it was not for me not being there and I wish that is how it happened, I wish I was dead and they were still alive!!!!!" Avi wailed. She knew she sounded like a two year old but she did not care.
It took Avi ten minutes to quiet down enough to speak correctly. She told Rumor about all the men had said and Rumor was truly sorry "I'm so sorry Avi, I truly am but now you see why you must come with me." Rumor spoke softly into her ear patting her back. Realizing how close they were Avi pulled away from him. "I want to thank you Rumor and tell you I am truly sorry for putting you through all that I did." Avi sighed smiling sadly. "Why would anyone want to kill me though?" Avi asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time. Rumor looked thoughtful for a moment then confessed"I really do not know Avi!"
He walked her back to her so called room where she spied Eleanor still sleeping. "We must go far from here to keep you away from the assasin Avi, that means traveling on foot in the wilderness are you ok with that?" Rumor asked worried"Well it seems as if I have no choice right?" Avi spoke remorsefully."What are we to do with the child Rumor?" Avi asked examining Eleanor."She was very worried about you Avi and I will leave it up to her what she wants to do,except come with us it will be to dangerous." Rumor confessed.
"Wake up Eleanor dear!" Avi whispered while shaking the girls sleeping form slightly. Eleanor woke with a start. "Avi I am so glad you are awake!" cried the girl wrapping her arms around Avi's waist. "I am glad to see you awake too honey but I must ask you something, me and Rumor must go travel to many places and it will most likely be dangerous were would you like to stay till I come back to help you find your parents?" Avi asked softly. "I want to go with you!!!!" screamed Eleanor. "You can't Eleanor, I cannot protect both Avi and you." Rumor spoke up
"But-but please!!!" Eleanor cried desperatly. "No!" Rumors tone was firm and even Eleanor knew not to disagree then.
