The heat of the sun pounded on my back.
The rags that covered my body gave me no protection, and I could feel the sun's rays burn my back.
I took a swig of the remainder of water that was left in my bottle. Little drips of sweat dropped down my face.
The trees were beginning to thin out and I vaguely remembered the path I was taking.
I could see small farmhouses. I dug thee tips of my shoes in to the dirt, digging a trail.
I could see the out line of a city. Fear was in my eyes. I could see the castle in the distance.
My castle. I clenched my fists in anger. I stopped digging the trail in the dirt, and turned my walk in to a quick stride. Hot tears burned a pattern down both of my cheeks.
I wiped them off with my hands. I wouldn't let fear take over. I would break this curse, again, and then I would have Char.
I stared at the town in the distance. I lump was in my throat. I wanted Char, but would Char still want me?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I've been worried sick, Lady." Mandy said as she wrapped my in one of her hugs. She smelled like she always did, like fresh bread and flowers. "Well are you all right."
"I'm fine now. It's been difficult, but I think it's gonna be all right."
"That's good Ella. Are you gonna be going to the ball tonight?"
"Ball?" I couldn't think of any ball.
"The wedding ball. You know the one where Char's going to announce to all of Frell who he is going to marry."
"Hattie." I mumbled, but Mandy heard my words.
"Hattie? Well then it's not going to take much to look better than her."
"I don't know if I want to go..."
"We you want him back don't you?" I nodded. "Well you're going to have to see him in order to win his heart back. I could get a dress easily, it's the shoes I'm worried about." Mandy began to mumble preparations to her self.
I sat at the edge of the bed, wrapped up in my thoughts. What if I walked up to Char and told him who I was, and he didn't want me? I couldn't know for sure unless I went, but if I went I could be forced to watch him love another woman.
And not just any woman. Hattie. The root of all evil, and the start of all my problems.
Mandy rushed in to the room with a couple of bags over her shoulder. Moving franticly, she rushed towards me. She pulled out a blue dress, the color of the morning sky.
I made up my mind right then. I would go. If Char turned me away, I could still have seen him again. Have heard him speak. Just for that it would be worth it.
I smiled and fingered the dress in my fingers. It felt like a cloud, soft and silky.
I swallowed the ball of fear in my throat. I wasn't scared, was I? After all the worst that could happen would be that my heart could be broken.
But it was broken right now, longing for Char.
I looked up and matched Mandy's glare. I smiled, and I felt like a four-year-old getting ready for her birthday party.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Ella?"
"I'm sure."
Please review!!!!
