10-She wants to know
Bella had been sat by the front window ever since she had gotten up that morning. She spent every moment staring out at the vast world that was moving all around her. She watched as the other children ran around and played until their parents came to collect.
"Mommy..." Belle spoke up, finally looking away from the window. "Why don't I look like you or daddy?"
Courtney looked up from the magazine she had been reading, the same one that she had found in the palace that she could not read. It turns out it was quite interesting, as long as deciphered it properly. If she didn't...Well, certain sentences just weren't meant to be read.
"What do you mean?" Courtney asked. She knew exactly what Belle meant, but she was not prepared to answer her, just in case.
"I don't look like you or daddy." Belle told her mother, turning to face the window again. "All the other children look their mommy's and daddy's...Why don't I?"
This was what Courtney had been dreading. Belle was growing up quicker than what she had expected and now she was chalked full of questions that her parents just weren't ready to answer quite yet. It was killing Courtney on the inside.
"Yes you do." Courtney smiled. It wasn't a complete lie.
"No I don't." Belle replied. "And I don't have the same powers as you...And I'm not a vampire like daddy."
Courtney kept looking at her daughter, chewing down on her bottom lip the whole time. She was just not sure Belle was ready to hear the truth. Courtney wanted to tell her, but the time was just not right. So, instead, Courtney sighed, deciding to question it instead.
"Belle..." Courtney curled and uncurled her finger, beckoning for her inquisitive daughter to come to sit by her. "What's brought all this on, sweetheart?" Courtney asked as Belle sat herself on the sofa.
"I heard people say that children always look like their parents and they always get their parents' powers." Belle told Courtney. "But I don't."
"It's..." Courtney tried to search for the right words to say. "It's complicated."
"Why won't you just tell me?" Belle asked, her voice was quiet. She really wanted to know what was so important that she wasn't allowed to be told.
"I will...I promise you I will." Courtney let her finger run through the bright blonde hair that was sprouting from her daughters head. "I will when you're old enough to understand."
"I can understand." The young girl protested.
Courtney shook her head. It hurt to lie to her daughter. Belle would understand perfectly, and that was the problem. Courtney didn't want to keep the secret, but she had to.
"No, you won't understand."
"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS TREAT ME LIKE A BABY?" Belle screamed, jumping up from the sofa. "YOU WON'T KNOW UNTIL YOU TELL ME!" She ran, as fast as she could, right up to her bedroom. The door slammed shut and Courtney let the tears start to fall.
It was all getting too much for her now. There was just no point in keeping anything to herself now. Everyone but Belle knew the truth. It had almost slipped out enough times. Courtney had only just wanted what was best for her daughter, but she had no idea what that was anymore. Everyone had their own opinions, and Courtney's was just lost in the pile now.
