D/C: I do NOT own Ella enchanted but I DO own Ellie!
"Mandy! Mandy!" Ellie said running into the kitchen. "I need you help!" Mandy turned towards Ellie while wiping a wet dish. "What is it sweet?" She asked Ellie "It's horrible! I'm going to be sent away to the palace to serve that horrible Hattie!" Ellie said. Mandy nearly dropped the dish she was wiping. "I know it looks bad but I had this greatidea to tell everything that happened to the King!" Ellie replied to Many's scilence "But I need a fairie's help"
"Oh dear." Mandy said "Well you know that fairies can't to big magic Ellie dear." Mandy turned back to cleaning the dishes in the sink. "Well, I thought of that," Ellie said (not quickly now) "and I wondered if I could call for Lucinda."
Mandy nearly dropped the plate she was washing. "No, you musn't call Lucinda into this" She said "Lucinda is, well, she is very reckless." "But I thought she had learned her lesson?" Ellie replied. "Yes, but she is still reckless, she can't help herself sometimes." Mandy said.
Mandy turned to Ellie to see her pleading eyes "Oh Mandy, just this once, It won't do any harm." Ellie said. Mandy sighed and said "Oh, all right. But just this once. If I hear your calling Lucinda again," "I know I know, I won't. Promise." Ellie replied grinning.
Mandy and Ellie went to the dark room and closed the door, lighting a small candle, just bright enough to see. this was so No one would see them calling Lucinda. "Lucinda," Ellie said quietly "Come to my aid." Both of them waited until Lucinda appeared.
Of course, Lucinda wasn't the young and beautiful Lucinda that Ellie's mother Ella had seen at the giant's farm, and the smell of lilacs did not come when she appeared, but she was still quite glad to help anyone who needed it. "I have come to help you child." Lucinda said looking at Ellie.
"Oh Mandy dear," Lucinda said "How lovely to see you again, it's been years." Lucinda smiled brightly at Mandy. "Hmph." Mandy said back. "Now then, what did you need child." Lucinda asked, turning to Ellie again. "You remind me of someone. "Lucinda pondered the thought
"Probably of my mother, Ella." Ellie replied. "Oh, yes, Ella, how is she?" Lucinda asked grinning. When Ellie told her what had happened Lucinda's smile vanished "Oh, dear. "She said "I never knew "Lucinda was pacing a little. "I thought she could break the spell herself, I never should have cast it." she was nearly in tears.
"I didn't realize that it would be past on to her children." Lucinda sat down on what was supposed to be a bed. "I will do all it takes to help you in honour of your mother." Ellie breathed deep and said "Will you set my family free of Olga and Olive and the curse?" Lucinda looked sadly at Ellie "I'm so sorry, I can't." She replied "It's just, I don't do big magic anymore. It's big magic that got your family into this mess."
"But," Lucinda started to say. Ellie looked hopefully at Lucinda, hoping she had changed her mind. "I can build on what you do." She said getting a glare from Mandy and a curious look from Ellie. "If you have a plan.." Ellie told Lucinda everything of what she had planned so far. Lucinda brightened. "Oh, lovely!" She exclaimed "If you can get your plan to work, then the spell will be broken. I'm sure that's not big magic, I'm adding on to something another person does."
"Oh thank you so much!" Ellie exclaimed. Lucinda glowed at the fact that she had helped someone with out hurting them. After Lucinda cast the spell, a small but beautiful necklace appeared around Ellie's neck. "Keep it with you always." Lucinda told her, "It holds the spell, when you do what is required, it will release it, and your family will be freed." Lucinda then left, leaving Mandy and Ellie in the dark room alone.
The next day, a carrage came to take Olga, Olive and Ellie to the palace. Ellie hugged her sisters and brothers and said goodbye to them. But she hugged Mandy the longest. Ellie willed herself not to cry as she watched she family(and Mandy) wave at her. she sat in the courner of the seat, trying not to get squashed by Olga and Olive. They arrived at the palace right on time. Ellie had to walked behind Olga and Olive into the palace, where Olga dismissed her to tending the fire then told her not to sit, but stand near the door, not to close to the princesses.
Ellie stood silently where she was told, listening to their conversation when she was not supposed to. She heared every word of their conversation, for they were speaking as loud as elephants. "Gramother! Aunt Olive!" The princesses said, each of them hugging Olga and Olive in turn. "It's so lovely to see you." the eldest of the 4 princesses said in a tone a princess had.
"Where are your mother,father and brothers?" Olga asked. "They've gone to some place and left us in the palace alone." The second of the 4 said. Ellie instintly made a note in her mind that the eldest liked to be lady-like and the second was dramatic. The third seemed to be the smarter of the four. "they left 3 days ago and it will be hmm.. about 6 days until they get back." She quickly calculated.
The youngest was running around with a smile on her face. She looked to be 3 or 4-ish and was the happy-go-lucky one. The two eldest had gleaming blond hair and the two youngest had brown curls. They were all prettier then their mother and looked more like their father, the King.
"Who is that?" One of them said, finally noticing Ellie by the door. "That is your gift girls." Olga explained glancing over at Ellie. Ellie burned in fury as they talked of her as a thing that they could give and get. "She is your servant. Ellie, get over here." Ellie stomped over to them and stared each one of them down.
"Will she hurt us?" One of them whispered quietly. "No I'm sure she won't, for the sake of her family." Olga said glaring at Ellie. "She will do anything you wish." Olga walked over and hugged each of them again, as did Olive. "I will come to visit again soon, goodbye dears."
Olga and Olive left the palace waving until they were out of sight. The princesses waved back to them for just as long. And Ellie's servitude to the princesses began.
