So they were gone. Good, right? Only Ella couldn't follow, and even as she sang to distract the guards, she wished she could follow. Even if it was Hattie and even if she knew her stepsister would just abuse the curse, like she had now.
Before the song even came to an end there were guards grabbing her by the arms, none too gently, pulling her away from the door and clamping a hand over her mouth to silence her. She struggled, naturally, but a sharp barked, "Stop struggling-" put an end to that. So did the 'Shut up' and a hard slap across the face when she demanded to be let go.
After that she was a model prisoner, letting the guards drag her back to a cell where they shoved her in. She'd toppled face first onto the ground, where she stayed and mentally thought up every terrible word she could think of in Ayorthian. Frickin Hattie.
