Chapter 4: Memories
Ella sat at the window, silently stitching on of Hattie's dresses. It was growing hot and soon another load of laundry would have to be done. She hated her life and wished more than ever that she could run away.
But Hattie had forbid it.
Taking a break, Ella sat on her bed and started to flip through the pages in her book. She saw pictures of elves and ogres, men and women dancing, and people cleaning and having fun. She stopped flipping through her book. She had stopped on a picture of Char, crying. On the next page was a journal entry, his journal entry. She started to read it.
My love, my life, is gone. I have lost everything that I thought I would never lose her but she slipped right through my fingers. My men and I have searched through all of the lands of Kyrria, but she is not there. Every day I think about her last words to me before she left. Were those her words, or was some one speaking for her in some way? Wouldn't I have noticed if I was losing her love? Some how I know she's out there some where, waiting for me to rescue her. But then another thought appears in my head. What if she truly didn't love me? It makes me want to give up and find another bride. But the thought that she loves me always wins. And the knowledge that I still love her and the thought that I could still win her heart back makes me want to journey farther, in to Ayortha, to see if I could still find her. Maybe she has married, maybe not. I just want to see her face again, to know that she is alive. Father worries that he will die with out seeing a heir to the throne. And I worry that I will die from never seeing Ella again. I met a fair young maiden who reminds me of Ella. I hope to see her again. I must go... Chancellor Thomas is yelling at me to saddle my horse and get ready to move on. But I hate moving on, for I fear Ella might be going in the opposite direction.
A prince. A prince liked her, and wanted to see her again. She felt sorry for all of the pain that he must be going through, but, a prince wanted to see her again. "Ella!!!" Akata ran in to her room short of breath. "Ella I've figured out something" "What?" Ella said quickly growing curious, "Ella I heard Dame Olga and Hattie talking." "So" Ella said "So, they were talking about how Hattie had taken away your memories. YOUR memories" Ella stood dumb struck. "You can remember Ella, remember Ella" All of Ella's memories had come flooding back, as if they had been under lock and key. "Ella" Akata said, becoming worried. Ella started getting dizzy, how could she have been the woman that Char had lost? "Ella" Akata said, right before Ella blacked out.
Akata placed cold rags on Ella's head. It was hard to do because Ella was twisting and turning so much, screaming and moaning. All along screaming 'Char'. Akata was worried, not wanting to leave Ella's side, but she soon had to go because Hattie was screaming for her to begin dinner.
