Disclaimer: soz everyone I just don't own Ella enchanted that belongs to a much better writer than I am

A/N: THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED and thank you again to all the people who wished my mom safety it meant a lot to me! Well I have done noting for a while and I felt a bit bad for keeping you guys waiting but here it is Chapter 5. O and sorry this is just kind of pointless besides moving time along

Chapter 5

It was time, time to see Char again after that day on the garden. I honestly don't think I will be able to do it. I am actually scared. What if he recognizes me? What if he orders me to talk? What will I do?

"Ella the guests are about to sit down to dinner" Nancy said to me when she saw me lost in my own thoughts

"Ok thanks Nancy" I said as I was getting up. My job was to serve the soup to all the guests starting with Char because he was the prince then mum Olga and so on and so forth. Well here goes once the servant serving the salad came back. I waited a few minuets until I was sure that the salad was gone and made my way to the dinning room and Char.

I walked very close to the wall as I approached the head of the table and Char. His face was becoming clearer and clearer with every step; my heart was starting to beat faster just by his being there. I tried really hard to get a hold on my nerves and then proceeded to give him his soup. Everything was going fine I was about to turn and give the soup to the rest of the guest when i felt a hand on my wrist. Knowing exactly whose it was I still looked down. It was Char's

"Excuse me miss do I know you? You remind me of someone I once knew" I was barley able to hear him all I could hear was my heart and Hattie order of not to talk to anyone. I couldn't answer a question that the prince asked me it was so rude how dare Hattie let me make a fool of myself. I must look so stupid just standing there.

"Cinders answer the prince he was kind enough to talk to you don't make a fool of me" Hattie snapped me put of my thoughts

"No your highness I don't believe we have ever met" I curtsied and then turned to go

"Wait! I remember you you're the crying girl from the garden, I am truly sorry if I frightened you enough to run away" he said not knowing the trouble I would be in because I had seen him with out Hattie's or mum Olga's permission.

"Yes your highness, that was me and do not worry about my running away I was merely so startled by you being there and seeing me crying that I didn't think and just ran. Forgive me for being rude to you. Now if you will excuse me I must serve the rest of the soup"

"Yes, of course thank you for answering my questions" he replied as I turned to see to mum Olga. Our short conversation ended and I will remember it always.

I was making my way around the table all the while keeping an eye on Char when suddenly another person stopped me

"Well don't you think you're special" I turned and looked. H was fairly handsome with jet black hair and black eyes, like an ogre's. He scared me and I didn't want to be around him any longer than I had to.

"The prince talked to you so you probably think that he is going to propose to you. But he never will marry a servant girl like you. You are nothing. Yet you are pretty maybe Hattie will give you to me." He then proceeded to laugh. I was so angry that I "accidentally"

Spilled some soup on his lap

"HOW DARE YOU" he screamed and then slapped me. I ran out of the room with out even bothering w/ the soup. I ran straight to my room and feel asleep so deeply that I never heard the many footsteps coming down the hall.

A/N: woot go me I actually finished it. This was hard to write because I had a bunch of ideas and I had to choose what I wanted to happen. Ok you know the drill R&R please. O and just to let you know I am already writing ch 6 so it should be up soon. Sorry to keep everyone waiting for so long. really!
