Once
there was a child a unhappy child her name was Ella she had just moved to
6 hours
later they were just over the border of
Ella knew
what was going to happen, her mother was about to start the that’s not true
game. Before her mother could even , Ella stopped her. 7
hours later, they were there--a small ugly little house in a very small town.
Ella didn’t know if she would be able to live in such a small town .How
dreadful it would be to live in small town with no friends not one and of course
from her parents point of view it was wonderful house the perfect size. When
they walked in Ella hated it finally she lost temper her parents were bugging
her oh ah" all the time as they
walked though the house.
Once they
settled in she heard, “Ella your father and l want to talk to you" Ella
walked in "WHAT” said Ella.
“Dear
please settle down "one more thing, you won’t be going to school
"hooray" Ella was very happy but not going to school was the only
reason she was happy. Ella thought as she walked though the house how fun New
York City had been Ellis island Times Square shopping malls and now look were
l’m boring old nothing but woods Canada.. For a minute Ella forget how she got
to Canada in first place but then it came though her mind as fast as lighting it
was the awful move from my favorite city to boring Canada "why did we have
move" why couldn’t they have found a smaller house in New York City but
then she thought no it was hopeless. Later that day Ella went and outside to
check out the backyard Ella thought and thought about how her life changed
forever it will never be the same a dull life what did l do to move here
anything "Yes l must have still that doesn’t matter to me what difference
does it make". It is so boring running around the yard playing tag with her
self five minutes later “Ella dinner" Ella ran home for dinner hoping it
i was something good Ella thought. The next day was bitter day Ella just knew
her mother was going to tell ' her to put on her hat and mittens...etc then it
happened "Ella make sure you wear hat mittens and boots" "bye mom
l leaving be back at 6:0O" Ella left went outside it was a beautiful day
Ella then saw a little dirt path Ella followed it was long bendy path that led
to a door it was a small door in which Ella would have to . Duck. Ella heard a
noise a small wee little noise then she saw it a gold latch Ella carefully
opened it out fell a key Ella finally found it the key she took it home and put
it in a wood box that was very small. That night Ella went home she dreamed of a
land of something that just won’t appear in her dream something told her she
had unlock that door first.
Ella had to
see the woods. Maybe the woods had
magic to them. Ella woke from the
wonderful dream she was having.
The next
day Ella ate quickly and told her mother, “I’m going to the woods. I
may be late for supper.”
Ella ran
off to town. She knew the woods were
on the other side of the town. When she got there, she saw how wonderful the
woods were. They were like a fairy
tale. As Ella walked deeper into the
woods, she felt somebody else was there. She
knew she wasn’t alone. Someone
else from town was there. If I see
them, I will say hi and if I don’t I will be on my merry way. Just
then she saw a kid. He looked about
her age. She made what would be a
dull way of greeting somebody. “hi,”
she said.
“who are
you?” he said.
“The
name’s Ella.” Ella wondered what
the boy was doing in the woods when he should be in school. Ella
told the boy, “if you would like something in which to amuse yourself come
with me. I have something I’m sure
to love. I know it.”
Ella took
the boy who’s name was unknown down the dirt path. When
thye got there they saw the locked door. Ella
unlocked it. She walked in holding
the boy’s hand tightly. As she
closed the door, he said, “My name’s Robert. Thank
you for holding my hand. Now I know
I am loved.”
As they
walked further in they saw a land that no one could tell what it was.
It was so magical. Then a
small man said, “leave the secret world now.”
“we must
keep the secret safe.” Ella left
with Robert. Ella remembered that
day forever.
Ella was in
church getting married to Robert. How
exciting. Now you know I have been
with Robert since I was 11. I fell
in love, but that’s a totally different story.
