Snippet #1497448

Ella was very interested in Eulalius' story. She believed that this man had a very interesting life, with a lot more interesting moments to speak about than he had told her. It was the bare minimum, but there was no reason to doubt why he was chosen by the assassin's. Unlike Ella, he had done suspicious stuff for a living, all Ella did was sit around in a room and cry for most of her life. Eulalius seemed to see the same thing as Ella did. She was no where near capable of being an assassin, yet everyone seemed to believe that she was. She tried to prove herself, but failed miserably and it almost cost her her life, yet he was interested in the her. In the person whom Evin would sometimes call, "worthless." Despite this, she entertained him with an answer.
"My life is rather Boring. I don't understand your interest in it but... My full name is Ella Page, no middle name. I was born in Newhaven to a family I never knew, but not because they are died before I was born, but because my mother was a teenager who was raped and wasn't ready to have a child. That's what I was told at least." What a thing to tell a child she thought. "I met the the King when I was young, more like the prince. The king didn't want anything to do with me for some reason. The Prince on the other hand was attached to me like he knew me or something. When the his father passed the throne down to him, the new King let me live in the castle. He was really interested in me and treated me like a part of the family. When he got ridiculed, because the people thought that their king was having a bit too much fun with me, he had to send me away, just before my birthday. I had only lived in the castle for about a year. The last thing he told me before he sent me off was that he would tell me a secret when I was old enough."
"That never happened. As the years pasted, I waited for him to come back and tell me this secret, but he was killed before he could tell me. The Shadow killed him and then posed as the King. This fake king sent his white knights to take me from the orphanage. I was sent to the dungeons and tortured. Then one day the prison guard took me to this fake king and he was going to kill me, but then Evin and the other assassin's came and saved me. I was taken here and the rest is history."
Ella took a big sigh. It took a lot to tell this story, and she was beginning to tear up. Maybe her life was interesting, just in another way. Choking back tears, she said, "Would you like to know any more?"
