Chapter 2:

Walking into the market was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I could just see the top of the castle and that made me think of Char. I really am trying not to think about him but everything reminds me of him. I can't eat and apple anymore with out thinking of him. I wish there was a way that I could get away from Frell. There are too many memories here. But that could never happen because I would miss Mandy and I could never leave her. not to mention if hattie saw me escaping i would be ordered to never leave the manor again.

I walked up to the vegetable stall that had good deals and good veggies

"Hey Brian, how are you?"

"Hey Ella, what you been up to? I haven't seen you in ages. Done anything fun?"

"No nothing fun, you have any fresh broccoli? Mum Olga wants broccoli soup tonight and all of ours is rotten"

"Yeah we got some just in today good price for a doll like you"

"Thanks Brian" I said with little feeling. I really just wanted to get away.

"I will get it for you and wrap it up, is that all you need?"

"Yeah, I got some time to myself so I think I will go see the exotics"

"Sounds fun" with obvious sarcasm as he walked away to get the broccoli

He came back and I paid for the broccoli and realizing that it was 11 and Mandy wasn't expecting me until 1 I really did have time to go see the exotics. I began walking toward the island when I saw something that made me stop in my tracks. It was Char. He hadn't seen me and I doubt that he would recognize me in my servant clothes but still I was scared, and my heart beating so loud wasnt helping any. He was talking to Simon the bird keeper. There went my chance of talking to him. I couldn't not right after he had been talking to Char. Where can I go? The old castle? That would have to do. So I set of in the other direction that char was going.

As I got closer I thought about Mother and how I came here to make a wish for her to get better. I missed her so much she would know what to do right now. I reached a nice bench and sat down still lost in thought. If mother was here I would never have met Hattie or Mum Olga. My life would be so much simpler. I started to cry. I just couldn't seem to stop. Why had everything in my life gone wrong?

"Excuse me miss" someone said

My eyes opened and I saw that it was Char. I was frozen on the spot

"Are you ok? I heard someone crying and I wanted to be sure."

I could only nod my heard. I dared not speak because if I did he would know.

"You don't look like you are ok. Would you like to talk about it?"

I shook my head very fast. I can't talk to him I would endanger him again and that would be horrible. What would happen to kyrria and all of the wonderful places I had grown up around? I could never do that to kyrria or to Char. I got up as fast as possible and ran so far. I ran so far that with in 10 min I was in front of mum Olga house. I looked behind and saw that Char was not there. Thank goodness

"MANDY! I am the most horrible person. I could have hurt him again. How could I have been so stupid as to leave the manor?"

"Lady what happened?" I told her about everything that happened

"Lady you did nothing wrong. He didn't know who you were it will be ok"

"are you sure? I mean what if…"

"NO LADY don't say 'what if' don't worry about what could have happened worry about what will happen"

"yes Mandy" i said knowing that the curse was making me not myself

My complaints were starting to occur anyways and I couldn't think why then I remembered what Hattie said to me

"I have to see Hattie, she ordered me to see her when I got back. I will be back sooner or later Mandy"

i got up and walked toward the main part of the house my complaints immediatly went away. i only shed a small tear when i thought or char. i know that hattie would be even more eveil if she saw me crying.

A/N: I love Char way to much to leave him out. o yeah please REVIEW!
