Ella of Betsy. By Greta elizabeth muirhead

Once upon a time there was a princess named Ella…

Ella lived in a castle not far from here with her Mother Queen Jane and her Father King John of Betsy. Ella was a good person (Not to mention princess) and her mother was the usual type greedy and her father well lets just say he was unusual. Like for instants when ever a villager or (peasant as the Queen called them) asked for water he would not only give them water but give them a whole lake just for their family!!!

One day on December 12 1984 Ella became an older sister to a little girl called Willow.

Willow like her Mother and sister had Hazel eyes and Brown hair. But like her Father she had a pointed nose and a double chin. When Willow turned 5 years old Ella was already 10 and both their parents were 40 Willow got stolen by an Ogre named Gruff-Monster who lived in the dark and haunted woods no far from the village of Betsy. When Ella woke up the next morning expecting to see her little sister Willow staring down at her saying do ya want to play with me Huh? Huh? Huh? But instead she heard and saw nothing. The palace was silent wich was unusual because Willow is usually running up and down the halls yelling play with me play with me over and over again. On the day Willow got stolen a farmer named Joe Robin was in the palace gardens when the Queen found him.The Queen declared that he helped the ogre Gruff-Monster kidnap her child because he was found on the scene of the crime.

When he was to be judged they found him guilty because he was screaming I didn’t do it! I didn’t do it!!! and the Queen said that that is what a true criminal would say.

So Joe Robins was sentenced to a lifetime in Hill Peak Prison the worst prison imaginable!!! In HIll Peak Prison the conditions were horrible no food or water and no BATHROOM BREAKS!!!

Well back to Ella was ever so sad her sister was gone but also quite happy. Ella’s parents on the other hand were devastated they loved both of there children equally but they still wanted to find Willow.

When Ella saw how devastated her Mother and Father were she made choice… either she go on a ADVENTURE TO SAVE HER SISTER or she can stay in the palace with her miserable parents she obviously chose the ADVENTURE TO SAVE HER SISTER choice.

so that night she grabbed a bag tossed in a months worth of food,some rope, ten gold coins, 8 pairs of socks, 4 shirts, 6 black dresses(because one never knows when you will need dresses.) 1 nightgown, and 9 pairs of pants.

When Ella was done packing she set of into the woods were the ogre and her sister were last seen…

Ella was in the Haunted Woods for 2 weeks before she found any clues. After the second week she found a clue the clue is a Ogres footprint a whole path of footprints.

Ella followed the footprints until she found a big cave and crept inside and there she found the ogre Gruff-Monster and her sister Willow. Willow was trying to escape while Gruff-Monster was sleeping but Willow made the mistake of when Willow saw Ella she yelled Ella you came for me!!! And that is when Gruff-Monster woke up and followed them and then the girls ran away from the cave but when they were almost to the castle Ella hid behind a tree and grabbed the rope from the pack and tied it to one tree and then tied the other one onto Gruff- Monsters ankle and when he ran past the tree the tree ripped out of the ground and flew into the air and it hit him on the head and the he died and the girls lived…

                     HAPPILY EVER AFTER THE END
