Legendary Ella

Int. Mountain- Tent- Day

Melanie walks in to report to Captain

Melanie: We have a problem, she has vanished again

Captain: This girl! How can she do this again? I just hope she is not doing anything mischievous. Forget her, go prepare food before everyone starves

Melanie: Yes sir

Man: (comes in running) Help! My son is about to die. Someone please help him

Melanie: What happened?

Man: He ate this

Melanie: Throw these away, they are very poisonous berries. Take me to him, I am a doctor I will definitely save him. Then you go and warn the others to be in the lookout

Ext. Other Village- Eatery- Day

Ella walks in for a tasty meal. Inside are the best friends Dan and Max who are regulars

Dan: I am not happy about the way dad does things. Is it necessary to use violence all the time. Killing innocent people is total brutality

Max: I think you are overreacting. All you have to do is close your eyes and let him do the dirty work. Just enjoy the benefits. You get to enjoy finer things in life

Dan: I swear you would be the son he wishes i could be.

Max: (looks at Ella) Would you look at that? I would swear she hasn't had a meal since last winter. Disgusting!!

Dan: Just let her be. So I heard that you found a new girlfriend

Max: Sophie! (smirks)

Ella: Today is my lucky day. I am going to pig myself out. Now this is a meal fit for a princess (burbs)

Max: (shouts at her) Disgusting! You peasant, how did you get in here? How dare you insult my eyes, stomach and nose

Ella: Sorry

Dan: Forget it, let's move from here. Just hold your anger in

Max: Not only move. This is the last time my precious foot steps in here. This place is contaminated. Even mere beggars can get it. I have been let down

Dan: Stop saying that. She is also human. We all bleed and die at the end of the day. Death does not discriminate

Max: As long as you are breathing and alive, money and power matters the most. Now let's get going before I behead someone

Int. Palace- Throne room- Day

Craig and Dawn have entered the palace when they get caught

King Lion: What are you doing

Dawn: (startled) Sorry sir, I thought I head a noise inside. I was checking if everything is all right

King Lion: Oh really! I hate people who look into my face and straight up lie.To me it seems like you were snooping around my territory. If I find anything missing you will be in for it. I have seen your face

Dawn: My apologies. I don't dare steal from your royal highness

King Lion: (looking at him fiercely) What is your name?

Dawn: Robert

King Lion: Where do you live?

Craig: There you are. I have been looking for you. Your highness!

King Lion: Who are you people? I swear I have never seen you before

Craig: We are new guards who recently got hired

King Lion: Oh really? Go and tell Mike to come see me. Hurry up before I finish this bottle of wine

Craig: Yes sir (they exit)

Dawn: (whispers) That was close

Craig: Did you get it?

Dawn: Yes, let's quickly leave this place. Looking at that man gave me the chills

Ext. Village - Market - Day

Mrs Rose is shopping and has brought along his slave Junior. Some things falls down

Mrs Rose: (angry) We made a huge mistake by buying this boy. Look at him, he can't do anything right. What a waste of my money

Mr Rose: He will improve in time besides he is still a boy

Mrs Rose: Boy, you are lucky because of my husband or else I would not hesitate to sell you off to someone else. How dare he ruin the only chance I get to come to the market personally. Now pick everything up

Junior: Yes ma'am

At a distance Stella is looking at herself in the mirror

Ella: This disguise suits me perfectly. If I remove it in the future nobody will ever know it was me

She turns to leave when she bumps into Junior

Both: I am sorry

Ella: Junior!

Junior: Sister! Please help me, save me from these people (people look their way)

Mrs Rose: Take a look at that. He has gone crazy. Don't further disgust me with this beggar (violently grabs his hand)

Junior: Let go! She is my sister

Mike: What is going on here?

Mrs Rose: The slave I bought from you claims this beggar is his sister

Mike: Are you?

Ella: Me?

At a distance she sees Dawn who signals her not to admit to anything

Ella: Come on, do I look like anyone's sister? This kid must be confused

Junior: You promised to protect me. Wait

Mrs Rose slaps him so hard he falls to the ground

Ella: {I am sorry Junior}

At a distance Dan and Max have been watching

Dan: I think that she is lying. She is definitely his sister. Anyway let's go from here

Stella is walking away in a haze when she bumps into Leo

Leo: Are you crazy? You should not be here. Wait are you crying?

Ella: I failed him

Leo: Who? When and how? Please don't cry

Dawn: We need to leave this place before we attract any more attention

Ext. Woods- Day

They are walking towards their camp

Leo: By the way. What were you doing there. If I recall you were not a part of our mission

Ella: Well, I came to search for food

Craig: Did you find any? You look empty handed though

Ella: Yes, I did. I ate it all alone. After all it's been a long time since I had a good meal not what we eat in the camp. How selfish of me

Craig: Its not a new concept to you anyway. All because of a meal you could have ruined everything

She faces Craig and walk backwards

Ella: Stop looking at me like I committed a huge crime. Food is very important to me, it's worth risking things for. Besides I was not cau....

Leo quickly pulls her close to him in an embrace, her hat falling down and her beautiful healthy hair let loose

Ella: What are you doing? Oh my! Your heart is about to break free from your ribcage. It's beating so fast. Don't tell me, do you like me?

Leo: (pulls her away) Are you crazy

Dawn: You could have lost a leg right now. Now watch where you are going

He undoes the trap

Craig: This is too close, who dares to careless put it here

Leo: (flustered) You, you, stop getting silly ideas

Ella: I am so over that. It seems I was right though

Leo: No! No! No! My heart is beating fast because the weather is too hot
