My first fan fiction text, related to Dodie Smith's novel "The hundred and one Dalmatians". It's about Cruella and her husband Mr. de Vil, how did they meet and got married. Hope you'll like it. I'm waiting anxiously for your comments
Wade de Vil, famous businessman from Suffolk, died of terminal cancer at the age of 56. His 30 y.o. daughter Ella inherited his big and successful corporation „De Vil company“. Ella didn't have many close friends. Most of the people thought she was such a freak because of her black & white hair, which was traditional symbol of de Vil family. Besides her weird hair, she looked frightening because of her dressing style. She was always fascinated with fur. As she was very rich, she was very seldom buying clothes in the shops. Much oftener she was designing clothes by herself and giving the designs to the dressmaker. She was very good fashion designer and enjoyed designing extravagant, never before seen clothes.
One day, she visited her dressmaker who told her that her red fur coat was finally finished. Ella was overjoyed when she got it. She immediately put it on and went for a walk in the city. She heard strange people talking about her:
„That's the witch from the Hell Hall!“
„Yeah, daughter of Wade de Vil. Huh, what a funny surname, right?“
„De Vil... Really, sounds like Devil. But it's alright, because Ella de Vil really looks like a devil!“
With the time Ella stopped caring about those nasty comments. Furthermore, she started enjoying being frightening, she loved to stand in front of a mirror and seeing a devil in it. She wanted to be even more frightening, so she changed her name from Ella to Cruella.
One day, Cruella decided to leave Hell Hall, and move to London. There was „De Vil company“ that she inherited after her father's death. She turned the big computer company in a new fashion house, and she changed it's name into „House of De Vil“. Driving to „House of De Vil“ she saw her old schoolmate Anita Campbell.
„Ella, how are you?“ asked Anita, excited after seeing her old friend.
„Anita, darling!“ answered Cruella. „I'm fine, darling, very fine. Just please, don't call me Ella anymore. I changed my name into Cruella!“
„Cruella?! Oh it's a little bit... strange.“
„No, darling! Cruella de Vil! Sounds so frightening and cool!“
„Well... OK, Ella... I mean, Cruella. What's going on, what brought you here to London?“
„I moved to London to stay closer to the company that my father left to me after his death“
One day, Cruella wanted a new fur coat. She was driving through the city, looking for a new dressmaker. Suddenly, she spotted a fashion shop with brilliant fur coats. She was shocked after seeing such great coats in an ordinary market. She entered it and started walking among the hanged coats. She would have liked to buy them all, but she didn't have enough time to try all of them on. She was so excited that she didn't see a man staring at her. It was a short, not very handsome man, but he was looking at her so excitedly. He came closer to her and talked to her:
„May I help you, madam?“ he asked.
„Oh well... I don't know how could you help me. You don't work here, do you? What can a man like you even know about fashion?“
„Well, I'm a furrier, so...“
„Oh, a furrier! That's a good thing! OK, I want to choose one of these coats, but every one of them is so divine, I just can't decide which one should I take!“
„I would suggest this one!“ said the man taking one long black coat. „It would look great on a lady like you.“
Cruella tried the coat on. It was extravagant and a little bit frightening, just as she liked. She bought it. She thanked the man who helped her and went away to her firm. At the evening, when she left „House of De Vil“, she was driving to her home. She stopped at a pedestrian crossing and there was a man crossing the road very slowly.
„Hurry up, you slow imbecile!“ shouted Cruella horning at him. He turned his head. It was the same man who helped her choose a coat.
„Oh, that's you...“ she said. „Come here, sit in the car. I'll drive you where you want.“
The man sat in her car and Cruella went on driving.
„Where were you going?“ she asked.
„Nowhere. Just walking around“
„He's a furrier“ she was thinking. „It would be cool to be his friends. He could make great, but cheap fur clothes for me.“
„I'm really sorry for shouting at you“ she pretended to be sorry. „Can I invite you for a coffee?“
„It would be my pleasure, miss...“
„Cruella! Cruella de Vil!“
„Nice to meet you, Cruella. My name is Michael. Michael Rhodes“
„The pleasure is mine!“
They went to a bar and Cruella ordered Starbucks coffee for them both. They were sitting in the bar and talking. Cruella pretended to be a nice lady, occupied with her job and a little bit stressed all the time. Michael was staring at her eyes. He was maybe the only one who saw a pretty woman in her. He saw a hidden cold beauty in her eyes. Besides her look, he was fascinated with her being so crazy about fur.
Cruella and Michael became very close friends. Although Michael wasn't expressing his big excitement during the time he was spending with her, she noticed that he likes her very much. She started wearing sexy clothes to seduce him. One day, Michael couldn't resist, he told her he had fallen in love with her. Cruella pretended embarrassment and said she was so flattered with his words. That night, when she said „bye“ to him and entered her house, she started laughing at him.
„That's just perfect!“ she laughed nastily. „I've conquered that short Quasimodo! He will make fur coats for me, for free!! That makes him less ugly! I could stand sleeping with him, in order to get new wonderful coats! Poor idiot!“
Next day, Cruella told Michael she had fallen in love with him too, and that she wanted to become his girlfriend. After few months, Michael brought her a present. It was in a big grey card box. Cruella opened it and stared excitedly to the box. There was a beautiful white mink cloak.
„Oh, Michael, this is marvellous!!“ she screamed. She took the cloak out of the box and put it on. When she took it, she noticed a diamond ring hanging on the button.
„Oh, is this...?“
„Cruella...“ Michael said. „Will you marry me?“
„Yes, darling, of course I will!“ said Cruella and kissed him.
After one month, Cruella and Michael got married. As Cruella was the last one from De Vil family, she made Michael change his surname to De Vil. It was no problem for him. After the wedding, they started living together. She got used to spend nights with him, but she was excited with every new fur coat he made for her. Her passion for fur made her much easier to pretend love towards Michael. He never noticed the real reason why she accepted to be with him.
