Okay, I made this story when I was twelve, so bear with me if it's corny at parts. I did try to edit out all of those parts, but you never know. Anyway, I'd like people to read it and see if it's any good or not… I'll be adding chapters as I go along (other chapters are still being edited of crappy parts). Since this is kind of like a sequel (and yet not…) it may sound similar to the book at times. However, this is my own story that I created!
Please give me any suggestions on how to make it better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Read it and REVIEW! And, most importantly, enjoy!
Ella Enchanted is a great book. I kept reading it and reading it, until my mom told me to read other books too, since I love to read. So I did, then I read Ella Enchanted again. I was addicted to it. But, the twelfth time I read that book, an unusual person appeared in my yard. This is my fairy tale.
It was a beautiful summer afternoon, and I was resting (at least, what I call resting) outside. I lounged in a beach chair to get a tan, root beer in one hand, and in the other hand I was reading (you guessed it) Ella Enchanted. I was getting towards the end, when I caught a whiff of roses. That's funny, I thought, I know we have roses in our garden, but that's all the way across the yard, and the smell isn't that strong. So I shrugged and kept reading. Then the smell got stronger and I heard the faint sound of breathing, like a very crisp and playful wind.
"Nice try, Mark, but I know you're behind me!" I said loudly. (Mark is my younger brother, who loves to sneak up on me and scare me half out of my wits. Usually he succeeds.)
The person laughed, like tinkling bells. That was not Mark's laugh. I spun around, and gaped at the beautiful lady standing behind me.
I could tell she was a fairy from Ella Enchanted . In our world, you would've thought she was just a beautiful woman with very tiny feet. But in Ella Enchanted , fairies were "regular" people who could live for thousands of years with special powers, which most fairies never used. Also, all fairies in that place had very tiny feet, so if a fairy was disguised as a human, their only flaw would be their tiny feet.
She laughed again.
"Surprised?" She asked. Her voice was like singing, just like Lucinda, the fairy in Ella Enchanted.
"L-Lucinda?" I stuttered. Believe me, this was a very shocking moment.
The fairy laughed again. I could make her laugh very easily.
"No," she said, giggling. "I'm Madria, her twin sister. You didn't hear about me in that book because I spent little time in that land. I use power that no other fairy has."
She paused, and I thought through what she just said. She was Lucinda's twin sister. Lucinda had made many mistakes before she changed near the end of the book by giving "gifts" to people. Her "gifts" had turned out to be curses. And if Madria was anything like Lucinda before she had changed -- oh boy! But I shook the thought aside for the moment, praying Madria wouldn't give me a gift and asked, "What is that power?"
"Time traveling. Through different times and different worlds, I can travel," Madria was very solemn, or as solemn as an amused fairy can get. She continued, "So I decided to use it. Not by fairy terms, but by my own terms."
So Madria was an independent fairy!
"That's, er, fascinating," I said, not really knowing what I should say.
"Isn't it? Now, onto business. I came here for a specific reason. And you are lucky enough to receive this. When someone reads Ella Enchanted for the 12th time, I give him or her a chance to experience what Ella did in the book. This is my gift." Madria tapped me on my nose, and blackness overcame all thoughts, and I fell into what seemed like a deep, deep, enchanted sleep.
My mind was erased from every thought. My life was starting over, with a different mother, a different time (during the younger years of earth where light bulbs and cars weren't even dreamed of), and a completely different world of dragons and fairies. I knew nothing of what I have just described to you, and was born into this new world.
