okay i understand a lot of you had a lot of questions. one of you said that the candle trees didnt work in the book. actually, they did. ella said, "please make mom better" (or something to that effect) and then she said "i never bet one mother losing her life..." blah blah blah. but her mother DID get better. she wasnt sick anymore, was she? of course, you COULD argue with that. but please dont. the point is, that in my story, the part where ella wished for her madre to get better didnt happen cuz they both DID get better. so you didnt even know about the candle trees until ella wished for her curse to be taken away. so yeah. have a good time reading.
I ran into the kitchen. "Mandy!" I screamed. "Mandy" She looked up from her cooking with a puzzled look on her face.
"What is it, sweet?" she asked. "Your mother said you ran out of the house, crying. What happened? Are you all right?"
"Char's getting married to another girl that he doesn't even know," I said quickly. "But that's not the point."
"Not the point?" exclaimed Mandy. "I thought that Char was always the point!"
I glared slightly at her and said, "I just ran into him in the candle grove. He was about to make a wish." Mandy looked like she was about to say something, but I cut her off. "I broke the curse, Mandy!"
Mandy's jaw dropped and she was silent for a moment. She seemed to be sorting out thoughts in her head. I was doing the same. If my curse was broken, I could go back to Char and marry him! I wouldn't have to run away from him or anything! I was prepared to run out of the kitchen that moment, but I waited. Soon enough, Mother entered the room.
"What is this, a staring contest?" she said, seeing Mandy and me, staring at each other. "Ella, what's the matter? I saw you crying."
"Char's engaged to someone else," I said simply, still in deep thought. As for Mandy, her jaw was still dropped and her eyes were still concentrated. Even through all this, she still managed to say, "Ella broke the curse."
My mother's reaction was the same as Mandy's. She, too, was silent.
"Will somebody say something, please?" I said softly.
"How did you do it, Sweet?" asked Mandy.
"I went into the candle grove, wished that the curse would go away, and then I fell asleep. When I woke up, Char was there. He ordered me some, but I didn't follow any of them!" I explained.
"It can do that?" asked Mother.
"I guess so," I said.
"No," said Mandy. "It's not permanent. You'll get the curse back eventually, sweet."
I almost started crying at that sentence. "How do YOU know? It's not going to come back! I made it go away." I collapsed into the arms of Mandy and my Mother.
Mandy said, "Perhaps you're right, sweet. Nothing like this has ever happened with one of Lucinda's curses before."
My head snapped up. "How would you know about curses and Lucinda and anything like that? AND..." I gasped. "What about that fairy book? How does it work? Mandy, what's going on?"
Mandy and my mother shared a look. Both started talking, then ceased.
"Well--"
"You see--"
"It happened when--"
"I think it--"
They both went back to being silent again. I looked from my mother to Mandy. "Are you a fairy, Mandy?" I said suddenly, drying my tears.
More silence, cut-off sentences, and shared looks occured before Mandy finally said, "Yes, Ella. I'm your fairy godmother."
Now it was my turn to sit and gape at the pair of them. "Is this true, Mother?" I asked after a full minute of silence.
"Yes, Ella, it is."
"So..." I said, sorting more things out in my mind. "So, you could create magic?"
"Only small magic. I don't believe in large magic like the kind Lucinda uses." said Mandy.
"Why?" I said, beginning to feel frustrated. Couldn't Mandy use magic to find out if my curse will stay away or to make it go away for good? And what about Mother's curse? What could SHE do?
"Because, big magic could cause big problems, like yours and your mother's curse," said Mandy. "But your curse can still be taken away."
"It's already BEEN taken away," I said. A thought struck me. "Mother, can't you go into the candle grove and get yours taken away?"
"Not until we know for sure if yours is away for good," said Mother. I felt even more frustrated.
I stood up, ready to go to my room and look in the fairy book for any sign that Char was thinking of me. "I think my curse is gone. And I'm going to marry Char. I will, no matter what." With that, I ran away from them.
sssstrange chapter, i know. you all think im wandering around with this plot, but nay, i am not. youll see, youll see. i have a brilliant plan in mind. BRILLIANT, I SAY!! mua-a-a-a-a-a!!!! :)
