1 Chapter 1: How it all Began

In a room that was 300 square feet there was a boy, and a girl. Their ages were 8, and 10 and they were playing with the toys that were scattered across the room. The room was carpeted, and the color of the carpet was an off white. The room had a big window with a view that showed a whole village living in happiness. The ceilings were white, and were high up, and a  glass chandelier hung in the middle of the ceiling. The walls in the room were pale yellow. The little girl had long brown hair that was curled, purple eyes, and was wearing a pink dress. She wore a tiara that had lavender color diamonds through out it. The boy had blond hair, and hazel eyes. He wore tan dress pants, and a button up shirt. He wore a crown that had dark blue diamond through out it. 

The girl said "ha-ha Danny your done for!" Danny replied "Ella you won't be able to take me out!" Ella laughed, and asked "you wanna bet?!" Danny answered "well... no." She smiled, and asked "and why not." He smiled, and answered "because you always win the bets, and I always end up having to do what you say for how ever long you say, and its always torture!" She replied "oh come on you could actually win this time." He said "no because last time you said that I had to do your's, and my own chores for a month, do you know how difficult that was? Seeing we aren't related I had to get my parents to come to your castle everyday for that past month just to do your stupid chores I'm not doing that again!" She chuckled, and said "awe, but at least I helped so now you have too."He replied "no I don't, and since I'm older I'm the boss." They both looked at each other, and laughed.  She said "you know that's a lie." He replied "I know I'm not the boss age doesn't matter to you, you'll act like your in charge even when your younger." They both laid on the rug, on their backs.  

The room went silent for a few minutes, and then Ella asked "can you believe that they want us to get married?" He answered "I know we're best friends it would be to weird to marry you." She rolled over to her stomach, and said "lets make a pact that we'll never ever break our friendship." He replied "deal." She  said "and lets make a deal that we'll never ever marry each other for as long as we live." He replied "I..." A voice interrupted him saying "I hope you two don't finalize that deal." They both looked up, and saw two women one who had long brown hair, purple eyes, and dressed in a silver ball room gown, and the other who had long blond hair tied up into a bun, brown eyes, and was dressed in a orange ball room gown. The women stood next to men, and one of the  men wore a navy blue suit, had dark brown hair, and light brown eyes, and the other man wore a tan suit, had light brown hair, and green eyes. Ella, and Danny got up, and ran over to them saying "mom, dad." Ella's dad picked her up, and Danny's dad put him on his shoulder's. Ella asked "what are you doing here?" Her mom said "well we've come to take you to Church, and then back home." Ella asked "but, what about Dann... I mean Daniel?" Daniel added "yeah me, and Ella had plans to spend the whole day together." Ella's dad asked "but, isn't Jesus more important then play time?" Ella, and Daniel nodded, and said "well of course we love Jesus we just want to spend some more time with each other." Daniel's mom said "well you don't have to worry about spending time together because we are going to Church with them, and then after your going to go over to Ella's castle." Daniel asked "you mean it?!" Daniel's dad answered "yes we mean it." Daniel, and Ella said "yay!" Daniel asked "dad can you put me down?" Ella asked "yeah can you put me down too dad?" Their dads put them down, and Daniel said "race you to the Church Ella." Ella replied "your on," and they both ran off to the Church. Ella's mom said "if they keep this going they'll want to marry each other when their 13, and 15." Daniel's mom said "especially with that cute name Ella is always calling Daniel. You can just tell the two were meant to be." Ella's mom replied "ah yes she calls it her super secret name, and we're not suppose to know about it."Ella, and Daniel's parents laughed, and Daniel's mom said "I can see it now young love having them betrothed to each other was a great idea." Ella's dad said "yes these villages will be one of the most peaceful villages because not only do we have great children who clearly love each other, and won't do any harm to one another, but we have God on our side." Daniel's dad added "yes with their Christian Faith these villages will be at the most peace they've ever been." They all headed to Church, and listened to the powerful message behind the sermon. 

When they got out of Church Ella, Daniel, and their parents went back to her castle. When they got there Daniel's mom said "you guys can play for a few hours then we'll have to go okay?" Daniel, and Ella answered 'okay," as they ran off to play games in Ella's playroom. The hour flew by for them as they played their games, and soon fell asleep Ella resting her head on Daniel's arm back turned to him while he laid flat out on the ground back to the floor. Their parents walked in whispering "oh how cute." Ella's dad picked her up, and Daniel's dad picked him up. Ella's parents escorted Daniel's parents to the front door. Once they got their Daniel's parents left while whispering "see you tomorrow." Ella's dad put her in her own bed, while her mom tucked her in, and her parent's left. 

Blood curling screams, bounced off of Ella's walls, and she woke up. She heard screams coming all from outside her room in the castle, and she screamed "mom." Black smoke crept under her door, and started to fill the room, she started to cough, and cry out "mom!" She made her way to the door, and tried to open the door, but burned her hand. She screamed "mom dad," and they yelled back for her. The sounds of guards yelling for them to evacuate, and maids screaming in panic bounded around  in the air.  She screamed out "dad" as the flames  swallowed her door. She covered her mouth whiled she screamed "daddy!" She began to cough, and gasp for air. She heard the screams of her mother saying "please don't do it don't kill him!" Gasping for air she ran over to her window, and opened it, and the screen. She looked down to see a shrub on the ground that was only 7 feet below her. She heard the blood curdling screams of her dad, and mom. Tears fell from her eyes as she looked back to see the flames eating away at her room, she jumped out the window, and landed safely on the shrub.  She stood up, and looked at the thick smoke rushing out her window. She screamed "mommy, daddy!" 

A voice said "oh Princess Ella, sweet sweet, Princess Ella." She turned around to see a woman standing behind her, she was dressed in a fancy golden dress. She had long red hair, and brown eyes. Ella asked "who are you." The woman answered "don't worry about it," and knocked her out. The woman picked up Ella, and took her far away. 

When Ella woke up she was dressed in rags, and her ankle was chained to the floor. She was in a dimly lit room that smelled of dead lady bugs, and rat poop.  She heard the thuds of someone stomping above her. She screamed "help," and heard a door slowly squeak open. She heard heavy stomps coming down the stairs. She looked up to see a woman dressed in a brown silk dress, and lace gloves. In the woman's hands she held a white piece of paper.  The woman said "good, good your finally up." Ella asked "what is this place?" The woman chuckled, and answered "well your new home of course." Ella replied "my new home?  What about my family their probably looking for me right now. I want to go home." The woman laughed, and said "your family? Honey your family is gone." Ella shouted "no I don't believe you, your lying!" The woman threw the paper at Ella while saying "don't believe me just look for yourself." Ella grabbed the paper, hastily opened it, and read aloud "king Fics and Queen Higiala have been pronounced dead in a castle fire. Still unknown where about of Princess Ella." Ella started to breathe quickly, as tears ran down her cheeks. The woman asked "aren't king Fics, and Queen Higiala your parents?" Ella screamed out "No! They can't be dead!" The woman smacked Ella across the face, and shouted "hush up that crying I won't have you upsetting my daughter and nieces!" Ella held her face as tears rushed down her cheeks. The woman grabbed Ella's face, and said "you work for me now!" The woman let go of Ella's face, and said "I have 1 daughter her name is Ligia, and  2 nieces. Their names are Kirata, and Tiala. As for me they all call me Hilda, but you will inform me as Ms.Hilda. You spoiled brat you'll now have to take care of me." Ella yelled "I don't want to work for you!" Ms.Hilda smiled, and walked up stairs. The minutes passed, and she came back down stairs with scissors, and silver dye in her hands. Ella asked "what are you doing?" Ms.Hilda answered "we can't have anyone identifying you now can we?" Ella screamed "no you can't cut my hair!" Ms. Hilda shouted "move, and I'll cut you now we wouldn't want that would we?" They both shook their head, and Ms.Hilda said "no we wouldn't." Ms.Hilda cut Ella's hair 10 centimeters, above her shoulder, and then dyed it silver. When she was done she laughed, and said "now no one will know where Princess Ella is."  Ella shouted "I'll never work for you EVER!" Ms.Hilda laughed, walked upstairs, and said "you will before you starve to death," and left while slamming the door behind her.   

The years passed, but no one could find poor Ella. Daniel, and his family ended up ruling both villages, and although he was faced with many princesses to choose from to marry, and take over the villages with him, he couldn't find himself to marry any of them.  Still strung up on Ella he could never find anyone as perfect for him as she was. As for Ella she learned how to work for Ms.Hilda, and Ms.Hilda's nieces, and daughter. Still strung upon Daniel Ella awaited the day where she could finally see him again, and marry him.
