Legendary Ella

Chapter 23: 23



Ext. Village- Market- Day

The mission begins

Ella: Ready ladies?

Girlie: (jumping up and down) I was born ready for this. Let's do this

Ella: Just don't get too much excited. Those who behave like you tend to die first

Riley: I still don't get why you have to look like that, it is not wrong to look good whilst stealing

Melanie: (breathing deeply) Let's get this over and done with, I am just too scared we might get caught. I won't be able to face any punishment

Girlie: There is nothing to fear; you can get lashed, your limbs torn or simple; beheaded. I hope this makes you feel better to not get caught at all. I call it "the ultimate motivation" works for me all the time

Melanie: (sarcastic) Thanks, I feel so much better now

Ella: Good! If any of you screws this up I am living you behind

Riley: It won't surprise me at all. We all know the kind of person you are.

Melanie: Let's just do what we came here for

They start by causing commotion whilst stealing things around the village. Riley falls down and Max comes to his rescue

Riley: Ouch! That hurts. Somebody pushed me

Max: What happened are you ok?

Riley: I think I sprained my pretty little ankle. I can't walk

Max: It's ok, I will take you to the doctor (picks her up)

Monique: That is so irritating (yells at her Max) Put her down, she is faking it

Dan: (shoves people away) It's over people, just an accident

Monique: I said put her down

Max: Dan! Handle my little sister for me

Monique: What a lowly wench. She is faking it and that one just fell for it

Riley: How dare you? I am the one in pain not you. Rich spoiled brat

Monique: How dare you!

Max: Move

Dan: Monique, follow me. I will treat you to delicious food

Monique: Really?! Let's go. Kate, I will see you later

They both stare at each other with their eyes shooting arrows. Then each goes away. Leaving Kate starring who is Monique's friend

Riley: Put me down, I think I am fine. I can walk by myself now

Max: So you were faking it?

Riley: And why would I do that?

Max: To get my attention and may I say, you surely did. By the way I am Max and you are?

Riley: Leaving. It was nice meeting you (walks away

Max: Strange, she is in such a hurry, I thought she had injured her leg. Right! I am the kind of guy every girl wants

In the market, Melanie talks to the sellers while the others steal the food

Melanie: Hello! I wanted to cook a hearty stew for my husband. What ingredients do I need

Seller: Aren't you a little old to be asking this. I pity your husband

Melanie: (angry) I wanted to buy vegetablea not to be insulted by a middle aged woman with a missing tooth

Seller: (shouts) how dare you insult me in my stall. Do you think I don't miss my tooth.! Get out before I egg you

Melanie: Fine, I will go to another stall since I don't have money anyway

Int. Eatery- Day

Monique is busy blabbering sucking the life out of Dan

Monique: Tell me, why is it that every time I am at your house you are never there? Dont you want to hear me play? Wait! Are you avoiding me?

Dan: (forced smile) Of course not. Why would I avoid the most beautiful woman in the village? Nobody can beat you in playing the pipa

Monique: (shyly smiles) Really? Am I pretty? (touches her cheeks) Then do you want to marry me

Dan: (coughs) I am sorry. Marriage?! You kid?

Monique: Kid?! I thought you just said I am a woman

Dan: Look at that (points behind her)

Monique: What? (She turns and sees Max then makes a not so interested face)

Dan: Your brother is here

Max: Get up (forcefully makes her stand up)

Monique: (trying to loosen herself from his grip) But I am still talking to my future husband. Let go of me

Max: (takes her seat) I have told you to stop day dreaming. Go, mom is calling for you

Monique: You are lying to me?! Why didn't you cover for me. Fine I will go

Max: As always, she annoyed the hell out of you. Isn't it!

Dan: I wonder how you cope at home

Max: I just say your name, she blushes, feel shy and then leaves me alone. What kind of love is this. Did you give her a love potion? You are all she thinks about

Dan: Females can't resist this cute face

Max: I will pay for all of this for having to bear with my sister. This is strange! When did I lose my money?

Dan: Did you get close to anyone today

Max: No! You very well know how much I love my personal space. It must be Monique, I will deal with her when I get home

Dan: Maybe it was the damsel in distress

Max: No way. She looked like a princess. No way it's her

Dan: Why is everyone going outside

Ella is playing the pipa and attracting a huge crowd

Dan: Wow! This melody. She is so amazing

Max: Don't let Monique hear you say that or you will be in trouble. Her skill surely surpasses her

Int. Old house - Night

They have gathered after a long day of working

Girlie: We stole too much. I thought we came here for weapons and not this

Ella: This is all a part of our cover. We are girls who came to buy food and items. Besides, I am tired of the food we eat at the camp. I call this, killing two birds with a stone

Girlie: You are surely impressive. We might as well just rest before the real show begins

Melanie: Fingers crossed it goes well

Riley: It will, unless you screw it. From my point of view you look scared like you did something wrong. Your whole face is written "I did it. I am the guilty one"

Melanie: Give me a break. I am a doctor, I cure diseases and save lives. Unlike you

Riley: Unlike me? What do you mean

Melanie: You all don't mind stealing let alone killing a person. I think you are all messed up

Girlie: Right now we need to be messed up or else we will never make it out of this. It's this or death

Ella: Everybody just calm down. Give me the map
