Ella Stiltskin-Winter (1st book)

King Arian

    Another year had past, and Ella is now 14, and she had spent a lot of time with her friend Regina and of course Rumple was out making deals. Ella has not found a way to stop Queen Amethyst or her enemy Aurora Flame.

As Ella, walked, into the castle she spotted a women, with sparkly blue eyes, and long brown hair. She was gorges, she wore a long yellow dress that fit her perfectly. Her father was telling her, what chores she needed to do. "Father, I'm home." He turned around to look at Ella.

"How was your walk?" He asked her. "It was good, I'm sorry, how I acted earlier, I just needed some fresh air I guess." Ella said. Rumple placed a hand on his daughter's shoulder. "It's ok, Ella. We will talk about it later." Ella starts to walk away. "Oh, this is Belle, she will be our maid. Belle, this is my daughter Ella." He turns to look at Belle.

"It's very nice to meet you." Belle held out her hand, for Ella to shake. She firmly shook it. Ella smiled. "How long will you be staying with us?" Ella asked. Her father smiled and then walked away, he wanted Ella to get to know Belle. I mean, Rumple knows that she has Regina, but he's not so friendly with her mother any more. Belle, he trusts to be around his daughter.

"Well you see, it's quite complicated. The kingdom that I'm from, is in war with the ogre's. My father, the king,asked for your father to help us defeat the ogre's. But as we all know the dark one, he likes to make deals. So we were going to trade, jewels and gold, for him to help us. But he told my father he wanted something more special. He wanted me, to be his maid. And that's basically how I got here." Belle explained to Ella. "I know most people fear him, but he's not that bad, he had a family once to, it wasn't just him and I." I told her. She nodded. "I get were your coming from, my mother died in the ogre wars, she died because of me." Belle told her.

Rumple was over hearing their conversation. "I doubt that, Belle. I don't think it was your fault." Ella said. "Well, if she never had to protect me, than she would be standing here, now, with us." She stated.

"I think she's looking over you, Belle." Ella put a hand on Belle's shoulder. Belle smiled. Rumple soon, came down and interrupted their conversation. "Um, excuse me, Belle?" Rumple asked. "Oh, yes, what would you like me to do?" She asked.

"Care to wash the dishes and make Ella's bed?" She nodded her head and walked up, the stairs. Rumple walked toward's his daughter. "Why do you care for me so much?" He asked, Ella. "Care for you? Father, I love you. You mean, everything to me." Rumple sighed.

He then hugged Ella tightly and and nuzzled his face into her neck. "I love you, my dearest Ella." He said. He broke apart from Ella. "What was that for?" Ella asked him.

Rumple sat on the window seat, and he gestured for Ella to sit on his lap. "Father is something wrong? Are you alright?" Ella asked him. Rumple closed his eyes. He soon fell into a deep sleep.

Ella:

"Father!" I yell. "Father!" I yell. "Oh, don't worry. He'll be fine." I turned to see a young boy, with dirty blonde hair, who looked like my father. I gulped. "Peter Pan."

"Hello to you to." Pan said. "What are you doing here? And what did you do to my father!?" I asked him. He smiled.

"I put him to sleep. For a little bit. He's not dead, if that's what your thinking. What am I doing here? Well, that's certainly a good question. I just came her to give you a message, from King Arian." He explained. "King Arian, wants to meet you, at midnight, he wants to talk, not to start a war. If you tell, your father, then that's a mistake, he'll be imprisoned once again, by me. He will do, everything the king wants him to, with the power of his precious dagger." Then Peter Pan, vanished into thin air.
