"Hello."

"Hello Fredrick."

"Rosalind! What business do you have calling me, especially at this hour?" A Flustered man by the name of Fredrick asked.

"I found a new orphan," The woman said gently.

"Good gracious Rosalind, do you just pluck them off the street now?"

"Now Fred-" she reasoned

"Fredrick" He interrupted.

She ignored him, "I had some trouble finding out who she is."

"So you do get randoms off the street!" He accused.

"Her name is Isabel."

"How am I supposed to know who she is?"

"Well you do have a list of all birth certificates, you are part of the Royal Council."

"What business dose the council have with you?"

"The council helped found the orphanage!" She exclaimed, her patience wearing thin.

"I have never heard of an Isabel in this kingdom, a very rare name, the last time I heard it was…"His voice trailed off.

"That's the best you can do?"

"Rosalind, you don't need her family history – for heavens sake she is and orphan, she had no family."

"You used to be so much more helpful when Hennery was alive," she thought aloud.

"Henner- err Lord Winterfred has nothing to do with this conversation!"

"You know how he loved children."

"If you are trying to sympathy it's not working! This conversation is over."

Lady Winterfred sighed, placing the phone back on the receiver. She never did find out where Isabel came from.

Isabel slept in late that morning. She only woke up when the girl next to her accidentally bumped her bed as she was getting dressed. She yawned. Yes, today would be a good day. Although no one really talked to her yesterday, she still was satisfied, sitting by herself looing at all the books and things in the study.

After breakfast, Jayden, one of the oldest boys and one that had been at the orphanage the longest announced "Come on everyone lets go out and look for some old toads down at the river." Everyone seemed to like that idea, and they all rushed out following Jayden down to the river, which was over behind the fields. Isabel, not really so enthusiastic about going to the river shuffled out the door behind them. She watched them race across the field happily, laughing and playing tips. Isabel felt lost, as she stood on the porch alone, unsure if the invitation included her.

Then she remembered yesterday how she had watched some boys climb the big oak tree. She had wanted to try, but not while they were watching. Now was here chance.

She ran to the tree and pulled herself up the trunk, higher and higher until she reached the last branch that would hold her weight. She smiled, this was fun no wonder other kids did it. But as she edged across the branch her foot slipped and she found herself hanging from the branch with nothing but one hand. "Help!" she cried. "Heeeeeelp!"

Nicholas the little boy how had stayed around, was the only one to hear her call. He had been still asleep when everyone was having breakfast. Stepping out onto the porch, he wondered what was all the commotion about. He looked up into the tree and saw Isabel dangling from the branch. "Oh" he said, "Hang-hang on, I'm coming up!" he called scrambling up the tree.

Isabel looked over at the voice coming to help her. It was a boy called Nicholas. He was about her age, with brown hair and deep brown eyes. "Hold on" he said, crawling across the branch Isabel was hanging from. "Hurry" Isabel said her hand slipping. "Um, grab my hand" Nicholas said stretching out his had. She grabbed it. He pulled with all his might, and pulled Isabel back onto the branch. But he pulled a bit too hard and fell backwards of the tree. Isabel sat on the branch. "Nicholas!" she cried. Nicholas clung to the branch waiting now for Isabel to save him. "Ok, grab my hand" Isabel instructed. He did and Isabel tried to pull him up, but she was not strong enough. "I'm falling!" Nicholas cried, and as he did he pulled Isabel out of the tree with him.

Thud. They landed on the ground. Nicholas groaned. Isabel landed on top of him. "Get off!" he exclaimed. Isabel giggled and crawled off him. "Are you ok?" She asked, grinning. He nodded. She laughed. "What's so funny?" he asked. "That was funny." Nicholas laughed, "I suppose it was."
