POV- Isabella

Opening the door and walking through I approach the ladies that I had previously viewed through the keyhole of said door.

I was unsure of what to say so I started with something simple. "Hello."

They each looked at me with curious eyes until they seem to realize who I am and then they immediately bow their heads and curtsy.

"Thank you, please, that's not necessary." I motion for them to rise.

"Beg your pardon, Princess Isabella, but it is mandatory to greet his royal highness in that manner. We were also informed that upon encountering Lady Isabella, she should be treated as kindly." The woman I had surmised was the mother announced.

"First, let's get some introductions out of the way, shall we?" I look at them in hopes to convey how much I want to be treated like a regular person.

They look to each other as if asking what to do?

"Okay, then I'll start. Yes, I'm technically the princess, Lady Isabella, but I'd really like it if you would just call me Bella. That's what my friends call me and only my father calls me Isabella."

The lady in her mid-forties stepped forward and extended her hand. "Hi, I'm Shirley."

She then pointed to another lady who was in her mid-thirties. "That's Daffney." Who proceeded to step up to shake my hand as well.

"Hello."

"It's very nice to meet you." They seemed like lovely ladies.

"Likewise." They answered in unison.

"I'm sorry, but I must admit I overheard your previous conversation." I felt my face blush from that admission.

"Whatever do you mean, dear?" Shirley tilted her head while observing me.

"Carnie, your daughter, will be making her first rainbow today, is that correct?"

She looks to Daffney, who just shakes her head and shrugs her shoulders. She then looks back to me. "Yes, that's right. We're waiting for our friend Lisa to get here, then we will go pick Carnie up from school and head to the meadow."

"I was wondering - would you mind if I went along as well. I promise I won't be in the way."

Daffney was the one to speak up this time, voicing her concerns. "Are you sure you want to do that, I mean didn't your mother... "

Shaking my head. I have to stop her before she can finish that sentence. "Yes, I'm sure. I can't live my life in seclusion and fear for the rest of my life." I look at them with the utmost sincerity.

"I'm okay with it if you are, Shirley."

Shirley turns to me and smiles. "Sure, you can join us."

"Hey, whatta ya'll doing?"

We all turn to look and strolling up to us is a lovely woman in her late twenties.

"Lisa, you're late." Shirley reprimands her.

"I know, I know, traffic was a bitch, but I'm here now. Let's get this show on the road ladies."

"First, we'd like to introduce you to our new friend, Bella. She's going with us today." Daffney, says waving toward me.

Lisa turns to look at me and I thought her eyes would pop out of her head. She starts to drop into a curtsy.

"NO, please don't!" I don't mean to yell at her, but I had already gone through this once.

She jumps like she has been electrocuted and we all laugh at her. Her face gets bright red.

"It's not fucking funny." She mumbles.

"It kind of is." I can't help but say.

Her mouth drops open in shock. She points at me and winks. "I like you already. Welcome to the group."

I manage to calm down enough to answer her. "Thanks, I'm glad to be here."

"Okay ladies, let's go get the girl to which we're all here for."
