Enchanted Tale

Prologue

"Mummy! Mummy the sun is almost down! The people are coming!" I cheered.

She closed the book with the pretty markings on it. "Elle, go to set the fire." She demanded.

I did as I was told. It was almost sundown on Thursday. Mummy and Papa had others come to our cottage in the forest. Sundown on Thursday was always a loud time.

"Isabel! They've arrived!" Papa shouted.

I looked to the east and saw the crowd of people, they stood at the shield Mummy and Papa set up. The people couldn't see us, we could only see them. And my parents were they only ones who were able to undo it. Mummy and Papa can do magical things with their hands that I wish I was able to do.

"One day when you're older." Mummy would say, "You'll be able to do anything you desire."

"When will that day come? When will I be able to do amazing things?" I always ask.

"When you're ready." She smiles

I set the fire and ran back inside. Mummy was sitting on the rocking chair. I never really knew what went on during sundown on Thursday. My parents always put me to bed before the meeting began. Mummy would sing me a beautiful lullaby and I would drift slowly to sleep. I loved when she sang, it made me feel all warm inside

"Mummy! Mummy! C'mon, Papa has lifted the shield! We must hurry!"

I jumped into her arms. As I did, an umph pushed out of her lips and she laughed. "You musn't be so hurried child, they can wait for me. We've all night to do our meeting, But I have only this hour to be with you."

I cuddled in her arms. "Mother?"

"Yes, my darling?"

"Will you stay with me forever?"

"I will never leave your side." she kissed me on the forehead.

I smiled and laid my head on her chest. "Do sing my favourite song." I whispered.

I felt her chest rise as she breathed in for air.

"Hush little baby

Have you no more tears

Mummy's gonna be with you all throughout your years

If you're ever frightened or scared

Just know Mummy will be right there"

And with those few words I fell to sleep.

I woke up to a loud noise coming from outside. It is normally loud anyway, but this kind of loud was strange and unusual.

I rose from out of my blanket and looked out the window. There were more people than normal. They looked different as well. They had swords. They sat upon horses. There was a man that sat on his horse far away. He wore a huge crown and quite large cape. It was the king!

I was struck with fear when I realised what they were doing. They were fighting. Their long sword would stab into my parent's guests with ease.

I looked on with worried eyes. Where's Mummy and Papa?

At an instant, the front door slammed open and Papa looked over to me.

"Elle!" He called.

"Papa! What is happening?!" I cried.

"Sweetheart, I want you to hide. I want you to hide and not come out until all the noise has stopped." He explained hurridly.

"Phillip! Elle!" Mummy said as she ran through the door.

"Mummy!" I cried some more. My chest pained me. I could feel the worry in their hearts.

"Listen my darling, I want you to understand that Mummy and Papa love you very much. We will never leave you, we will always be in here." She pointed to my heart which was currently aching.

"I'm scared." I said through tears.

Papa held my head up to look at him. I saw Mummy forming tears in her eyes.

"Elle, can you be a big girl tonight?" My papa asked.

I shook my head. "I don't want to! I don't want to!" I cried making tears fly off of my face.

"Honey! Honey listen! You're going to have to try. Everything will be okay. Mummy and Papa just need you to hide for a little while, that's all! When this is over, we'll come and get you. I promise." Papa tried to smile.

"Phillip, they're gaining!" One of the men said through the door.

Papa looked at me. He was now crying. "Elle, please go hide. Please be my big girl that I know you are." He begged.

"Papa don't leave me." I cried whilst I wrapped my arms around him.

"I could never leave you Elle." He sniffled.

I looked over his shoulder and saw Mummy. She was crying and trying to hold a smile.

"You're going become a magnificent women." She whispered.

She joined in on our hug. My teddy bear started to float over to us. Mummy was making it do that. When she grabbed hold of it, she whispered something into it. It started to glow a pretty blue.

"Take this." She said handing me my bear. "And if you ever feel lonely, just hug your bear and he will remind you of the love your Papa and I have for you."

Papa let go of me. He eyes were red and glossy. "My beautiful girl." He kissed me on the forehead and stood up. He grabbed Mummy's hand and they walked towards the door.

"Goodbye my baby." Mummy said.

I held my hand out to them and cried. "Mummy...Papa... Don't leave me."

---

I had to disobey Papa. I ran to the window and saw the both of them fighting back to back.

"MUMMY PLEASE COME BACK! PLEASE OH PLEASE COME BACK!" I cried hitting my hands against the glass.

A man saw me and grew an evil looking smile. He stabbed the person he was fighting once more, and walked over to the cottage. I was sobbing in fear.

Mummy took glance of the man and knew who he was after.

"ELLE, NO!" She screamed.

She shot the man with her magic and he disappeared. Then she put a spell on me.

I didn't know what she did, I just felt really dizzy. I saw her continute to fight off another man with Papa.

"KILL THEM ALL!" The King ordered.

The men behind him drew their arrows back

and let go...

"MUMMY!" I screeched in horror and dizziness as she and Papa fell.
