Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy the previously chapter of "A New Home". I honestly was so excited to start this story, and I don't own these characters except my OC, Barden, they are all belong to their owners:
A small smile crept across his face as he could feel a sense of warmth comfort him while he let out a slight yawn and blinked his eyes open. Once his vision became clear, he looked around to find himself in someone's or some bedroom, but he suddenly became extremely nervous.
Wait, where am I? What is this place? Am I fearing? Is this heaven? He slowly uncurled himself, to discover that he was wrapped up in a soft, warm, soft blanket, and he let out a sigh of comfort This is sure is a nice and warm blanket, but who put me in this basket. He carefully crawled from underneath the blanket and climbed out of the basket.
As he stood up he stretched out his arms and continued to look around the room with a soft smile It's very pretty and comfy in here, but I wonder where am I? He carefully started to walk around until he heard the sound of someone talking "dear, you stay down here and watch after everybody while I go upstairs to see if our little guest is awake." The tone in her voice sounded sweet, but he froze in fear from being seen.
Quickly he walked back over to the basket, climbed inside, and curled up underneath the blanket. The sound of footsteps approaching the top of the stairs could be heard and the boy started to shake like a leaf. He swallowed nervously as the steps got closer I hope she doesn't find me and hurt me. He curled up tighter into a ball and covered his head with his arms as the footsteps stopped.
The old woman stood over the basket and looked down at the movement under the blanket. The sight of the trembling form caused a deep frown to creep across her muzzle Oh dear, the poor dear is scared to death. She carefully used her hand to slowly remove the blanket to reveal the shaking child and felt her heart break at the sight.
She cleared her throat "Hello little one, please don't be afraid.." She tenderly touched his shaking form with a hand and carefully stroked him along the side.
Slowly, the boy stopped his shaking a bit and uncovered his head to look up at the pegasus talking to him. He opened his eyes to see the soft expression of the old and a deep swallow rolled down his throat "Please don't hurt me." A slight whimper escaped the child's lips.
To make herself appear less threatening, the old woman carefully sat down on her haunches and gave the child a maternal smile "Dear child, I could never hurt such a precious little one like you." She gave him a warm, reassuring smile "Please don't be scared dear, I just want to make sure you're okay."
He could sense the sincerity in her voice as he climbed out of the basket. When he planted his feet on the floor, he looked up at her. He gave her a small, thankful smile, but remained quiet.
"Oh my, you sure are a little one, aren't you?" She spoke in the softest of tones so not scare the boy any further. She carefully him so they could look at each other in the eyes "There… now that's better, isn't it?" She looked at him with that same maternal expression "It's nice to meet you little one, I'm Cinderella. What is your name sweetheart?"
After noticing how nice she was acting toward him, the child calmed himself completely, took in a deep breath, and exhaled. "My name is Barden Polar Miss Cinderella, it's nice to meet you." His tone was small, but respectful in the manner in which he spoke.
Miss Cinderella? I've never been called Miss before, but that sure is respectful of him. Cinderella shook away her thoughts as she nodded "Well, that is certainly is a nice name Barden, but you don't have to call me Miss. That sure is very courteous and respectful of you, but Ella or Cindy is just fine, okay?" She lifted her hand and gently rubbed at his shoulder "Um…if I may ask Barden… um… do you remember how you got here?"
While he thought on her question, a slow frown crept across his face and he looked in her eyes, and gave her a shake of his head "No I don't Cinderella. I remember following the white rabbit in the forest and then, falling down the rabbit hole, and when I woke up, I was here in this room." He sighed softly and lowered his head to look at the floor.
Cinderella frowned at the sight of the boy and could tell he was truly sad about something. A mixed look of curiosity and sadness washed over her face A forest? Why would such a little boy like Barden doing in the forest? Does his parents know? They must be worry sick. Once again and shook away her thoughts as she used her hand to lift his chin to look at him.
"Oh you poor dear, don't be sad, you're safe here. This is my Walt Disney World, where dream come true Barden, and you are more than welcomed to stay here as long as you want until we can get you back to your home to be with your parents." She leaned her head forward and nuzzled his cheek.
As soon as he heard the possibility of returning home, Barden looked at Cinderella with fear in his eyes "No, please, I don't want to go back home!" He cried out some and immediately cover his eyes drop his knees on the group. He started to shake "I don't want to go back home! I don't want to go back to my daddy!" He started to cry.
Cinderella was stunned at the sudden reaction of Barden and felt her heart break again. She wrapped her arm around his back in a comforting embrace and rubbed at it tenderly as she calmly shushed into his ears to calm him down. She continued to hold him gently against her cloth until he silenced his crying. She gently pulled away giving him a soft smile "Do you feel better now sweetheart?"
He sniffled and wiped away the remainder of his tears. "A little bit Cinderella, thank you." His tone was so small and soft.
She gave him a nod and held his hand in her hoof as she rubbed the top of it with the other "You're welcome dear." She could tell that the boy has been through a lot, but decided not to question him until he was ready. She looked into his eyes "Are you hungry dear? There a food over there by the table, and then we can go introduce you to my friends." Barden notice the tray of breakfast was on the table as Barden sit down on the wooded chair and he then put a napkin on his lap and began to eat.
"I'll be right back Barden, I have to inform everyone about you, they are probably worried sick." Cinderella said as Barden nodded at her and close the door. Barden look at the window and saw a lot of Disney characters outside the building. He then notice one guy was staring at him thought a window and while everyone else is talking, he has auburn hair, and soft cream colored skin, and bright blue eyes. He also wore a golden vest over a white dress shirt with a white kerchief, black dress pants trimmed with gold, and a navy blue ballroom tail coat trimmed with gold.
He quickly step away from the window and took his seat where the breakfast are and continues eating. He can heard a Cinderella voice coming from outside the front building. "Attention everyone, that child is healthy and fine, his name is Barden Polar, he's Mexican-American, and ten year old, he is a little shy, please make him feel welcome, he's going to be our guest for the time being, so I would appreciate it if you would treat him with care and respect. Now you all be nice to Barden. He is new here, and is very shy, and timid around us."
Everyone chatting to each other and seen that they understand. "Can we see him Cinderella?" said a woman, she has long brown hair, possesses captivating hazel eyes, full lips, rosy cheeks, a heart-shaped face, and a sculpted figure. The dress she wearing is a golden ball gown with a simply designed bodice, wrapped off-the-shoulder sleeves, long yellow opera gloves matching her outfit, a yellow wide-hemmed floor-length skirt made of 8 triangular panels and a multiple-layered white petticoat with a scalloped edging on the hemline, and yellow high-heeled shoes.
"It up to Barden if he want to meet you all, but remember, but he is new here, and is very shy, and timid around others, but I think that the boy has been through a lot, something is wrong with him, I notice a bruised on his shoulder, chests, back, and arms when he was unconscious. I don't know what happen, he does say that he didn't want to go home, also mentioned that he didn't want to go back to his father." Cinderella explain to them as she went inside the building.
Barden was sitting on other side of the bed, he heard a door open and saw Cinderella appear. "Barden, everyone want to see you and would love to meet you, but if you are uncomfortable meeting people, that alright dear, I will let everyone know that you don't want to meet them." Cinderella said as Barden began to think, he didn't want to hurt everyone feeling, so then, he told her that he will meet them all. "Are you sure?" She ask, "si, I am sure," he nodded. "Alright. Are you ready Barden?" She turned her head to look at the boy and he gave her a slight nod in response. She took his hand as they walk downstairs together and she open a door, she walk down the staircase and face to everyone.
"Everyone, meet Barden Polar, our new guest." Cinderella said as Barden step out the building and stare to everyone. "Hola", he give them all a small smile.
