Beauty and the fae A Christian fairytale Written by @October50 Chapter 1 Ella opened her eyes as the morning light filled her little room. The last bits of dream slipping from her mind like wisps of smoke. “ELLA ROSE!!” Her eyes popped open and she sat up on her bed, “GET DOWN HERE IMMEDIATELY!!” Ella sprang from her bed and ran to the chest in front of her bed, her soft waves fell past her shoulders as she ran it through her fingers. She pulled out an old cream and emerald green dress from the top drawer and rushed to put it. Her shoes giving soft sounds as she ran down the wooden stairs, she stopped by the pot of porridge being cooked. Dipping her finger into the pot when the cook wasn’t looking, she gave out a pleased sound as the warmth and hints of molasses and bits of cinnamon filled her senses. “Ella.” The cook turned to her but her voice was filled with warmth and laughs. Ella turned to the trays that lay on the kitchen island and picked them up, one balanced on one arm and two on the other. As she made her way to the dinning room she tried to recall her dream from the night before, but ended up empty handed so instead she looked at the walls and tried to remember happier times in her life as she stepped into the dinning room. “Good morning step mother.” She said as she set one tray down, “Lexie, Hadley.” She said with a small bow of her head as setting down the other two in front of her step sisters. Neither sister made any notice of her and if they did they didn’t show it. She picked up her trays and was about to step out when a loud clang echoed off the walls of the dining room. “What is this?” Each word cold and short, Ella turned to look at her stepmother. She looked at the silver ware that was slapped on the table, “I don’t see anything.” She said with her eyes cast downwards. If she had learned anything over the years as a maid to her stepmother, it was to NEVER EVER seem strong or sweet or anything but obedient and silent in front of her stepmother. “Of course you don’t,” Her stepmother said with a sneer, “ but don’t be daft, where is the setting.” Ella looked around and saw that the candlestick holder, salt shakers, and even some tapestry was missing from the dining hall. “Well I… I don’t know.” She replied in complete shock and confusion. Ella rose looked to her step sister but they looked as bewildered as she did. “ there shall be no supper for you because of it, and the servants shall have to pay up too,” her stepmother said, “ imagine the help stealing from their lady.” Ella gathered the trays and all but fled from the room. Something had to be done and soon. End of chapter 1 Next chapter: soon Chapter one: Your here !!! Previous: nice try
