Ella got everything off of the list, and went home. She walked in the doors of her home, and her bosses ran up to her. Ella said "I got everything you wanted." Ella handed the bags over to them, and said "now I'll start dinner for you guys." Ms.Hilda threw her stuff down on the ground shouting "do you know what time it is?" Ella answered "I came home before the sun went down. So what's the big deal?" Ms.Hilda laughed, and asked "what's the big deal?!" Ella said "now I have to start dinner." Ms.Hilda smack Ella, and shouted "what's the big deal?" Ella held her cheek, and asked "what did I do?" Ms.Hilda grabbed Ella's face, and said "don't you ever talk back to me again! You ungrateful disrespectful child! You should be so lucky I took you in when no one wanted you!" Ella said "yes ma'am I'm super lucky. I'm so sorry I talked back. I'll go make your tea now." Tiala shouted "no one wants your awful tea anymore you worthless trash!" Ella asked "what is the purpose of sending me out to get the supplies to do these things for you if you do't let me make them? I just don't understand!" Ms.Hilda slapped Ella, and Ms.Hilda shouted "how dare you speak to her in that manner?" Ella answered "I'm sorry I was out of line." Ms.Hilda said sorry no longer cuts it anymore! You'll just have to be punished properly until you get it through your head that this is no game." Ms.Hilda pulled Ella by the hair, took her to the basement, threw her down on the floor, walked up the stairs, and closed the door locking it behind her." Ella shouted "ugh why do they always do this?!" She dropped to her knees in tears, and waited for Ms.Hilda to unlock the door.
While Ella was locked in her room Daniel was talking to his, her parents. Ella's dad shouted "she thinks she's an orphan what kind of sick things are they telling her?" Daniel said "she didn't even tell me that she was a supposed orphan!"Ella mom cried "what did they do to my baby?" Daniel's dad said "where did she go?" Daniel said "I don't know, but I should've never let her go we should've told her that we knew!" Daniel's mom said "its not your fault. If she wanted us to know she would've told us." Ella's dad said "something is keeping her there whether it be fear, or what ever, but we've got to tell her! We've got to her out of where ever she is living. Its not safe for her." Ella mom said "I want my baby back!" Daniel said "you will I'll tell her everything tomorrow she's always in the village." Daniel's mom asked "do you really think that's wise?" Daniel asked "what do you mean mom?" She answered "who ever is doing this to her helped burn down the castle 10 years ago. Who's to say that this person won't do it again, and just take Ella again." Ella's mom said "they would kill Ella if they got their hands on her again!" Ella's dad said "what ever they planned they wanted Ella so they would for sure come back for her." Daniel's mom said "exactly." Daniel said 'so what do you want me to do? I can't just leave her where she is!" Daniel dad said 'as hard as it maybe you need to keep doing what your doing until she comes out, and says it. Then maybe after she will help us find these people." Daniel said "I can't leave her where she is!Watching her go back to those people is killing me! That's my wife, and I want to protect her! I love her! She my soul mate, she's the woman God made for me! I can't watch her suffer!" Daniel's mom said "if you tell her now she could very well go back to the people, and war them! Then you'll really never see her again! Our best option is to wait for her!" Ella's dad said "don't yo think its killing us inside to? We're hurting just as much if not more then you are! We need to do this for Ella, and when the time comes she'll open her mouth, and tell you everything. You, and I both know that. If you don't you could loose her forever." Daniel said "so what you just want me to leave it to fate?" Ella's dad said "NO we want you to put it in God's hands because He's the only one who can help her now." Daniel took a deep breath as tears ran down his cheeks, and he said "alright I'll do it. I'l go, and see her tomorrow. I'll leave it to God His will, will be done."
Ella's parents left back to their village. Four days pasted, and there was no sign of Ella. Daniel sat in his dinning room talking to his parents. Daniel said "its been 4 days, and there's no trace of her! What if something bad happened to her?!" Daniel mom said "maybe her bosses just won't let her leave the house." Daniel said "or maybe her cruel bosses have done something to her!" Daniel's dad said "we can't just go off of what if, or maybes." Daniel mom said "we need to do something that will force them to get her out of hiding. Something so big that they'll have to let her out of the house." Daniel mumbled "a ball." Daniel's dad asked "what did you say?" Daniel answered "a ball we can get her out with a ball." Daniel's mom said "yes we'll send out a message of a ball... wait they may not let her go because it'll be a royal ball, and they don't want us to know about her." Daniel asked "well what if we send out a rule that every women in the village servant, or not must attend the ball. It could be like an engagement ball. We'll tell the villagers that every lady who is not in a relationship must go so that I may choose one to be my new queen." Daniel dad said "they'll have to be a punishment installed for anyone that refuses to go, or keeps an eligible lady from attending." Daniel said "yes we'll have to send this out now."
Daniel, and his family put together the message with their royal advisers, and sent the message through out the village. A knock came to Ella's front door, and Ligia answered it. A man dressed in a light blue suit handed her a golden colored letter, and left. Ligia closed the door, and shouted "mom Tiala there's a message from the castle here!" They ran down the stairs, and ran to her. Ms.Hilda took the letter out of her hands, and opened it. Ms.Hilda read it, and shouted "the Prince invites us to attend an engagement ball!" Ligia, and Tiala yelled "really?" Ms.Hilda said "yes it says that all ladies who are not married, engaged, or in a relationship must attend so the prince can pick his new queen!" Ligia shouted "that means one of us is going to be royalty!" Tiala asked "we'll need new dresses!" Ms.Hilda said "I'm sure that dirty girl Ella can make them." They walked over to the basement door, and Ms.Hilda unlocked it. They opened the door to see Ella laying on the bed while hold her Bible. Ms.Hilda shouted "get up you lazy girl you have work to do." Ella placed her Bible on the bed, and stumbled up the stairs. Ella asked "what do you need me to do?" Ms.Hilda answered "you are going to make me, and my daughters new ballroom gowns for the ball." Ella asked "what ball." Ligia said "the engagement ball Prince Daniel is throwing. The invite says that all the ladies who are not in a relationship must go so he can pick a bride." Tiala said "looks like Prince Daniel doesn't love you after all." Ella said "I don't believe you Daniel would never do that!" Ms.Hilda handed Ella the letter, and said "read it for yourself." Ella took the letter, read it, and began to cry,. Ella said "he was suppose to love me." Tiala said 'yeah well not anymore, but you can watch him dance with his new love." Ella said "you actually want me to go to the castle?" Ms.Hilda replied "yes no one knows who, or where you are, and I could be looking at trouble with the castle if I don't let you go. Not that, that mattered anyways. You can come, and watch my beautiful daughters dance with your would be husband. Now go get something to eat the ball is tomorrow, and these dresses batter be finished or else."
Ella walked into the kitchen, got an apple, and ate it. Ligia yelled for Ella to come into the dinning room. She walked into the dinning room to see Ligia, Tiala, and Ms.Hilda sitting at the table, and fabrics that she had bought on the table. Ligia said "Ella I want a royal blue dress. I don't want a puff at the bottom of it either I just want it straight down!" Tiala said "I want a traditional ballroom gown. I want it to be lace, and gold." Ms.Hilda said "you make their's, and your dress, and their dresses better be beautiful, and no you can not copy cat off of their dresses you spoiled ungrateful child! You can make a silver dress! Now get to it, and do better then you normally do. I want you to be at least decent. Not that a trashy girl like yourself could ever dream of being that good. You lazy girl I expect them to be at least decent! Now get to work!" Ella got the fabrics, and went upstairs. she went into a designer room. The color of the walls were blue, and there was a wooden dresser that had a pin cushion, needles, a notebook with Ligia, and Tiala's measurements on it, scissors, and thread on it. The room had busts through out it, and it had a wooden chest that had cut up fabric sticking out of it. On the busts hung measuring tape for your waist, and in front of one of the busts stood a chair. Ella took the chair over to the wooden dresser, place the fabrics on top of the wooden dresser, sat down on the chair, and began making the dresses while tears ran down her cheeks.
