Chapter Two

Bella's POV

As soon as I woke the following morning I jumped out of my bed and ran to Mummy's and shook her shoulder as I tried to wake her.

"Mummy! Mummy! Wake up! We have to get up Geoffrey's coming to see us!"

"Bella, it's too early in the morning." Mummy whispered back.

"No it's not. It's nearly 1 Mummy. Geoffrey's nearly here!"

"WHAT!" Mum screamed as she sat up quickly. "Oh my God! It is nearly 1! We overslept! Bella! Quickly go and get ready! Oh my goodness! We're going to be late!"

By the time it was 2 Mummy and I were dressed and stood outside the hotel. Mummy looked very pretty in her green dress and black high heels. Mummy tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear as a car pulled up by the curb.

I had no idea what car it was but Mummy seemed impressed by the black car. She seemed even more impressed when Geoffrey climbed out of it.

"Renee you look breath-taking and Bella you look beautiful." Geoffrey said kissing her on the cheek and me on the hand. "Shall we drop the lovely Bella at my friends?"

"Are you sure they don't mind?" Mummy asked timidly.

"They don't mind at all. They're very excited to meet Bella."

"Let's go then," Mummy said smiling.

I sat in the back of the car, looking out of the window, watching as the buildings of London gave way to countryside.

"My friend lives out of the city. They have 5 adopted teenagers who like to play sports. The whole family are quite active actually. They are always going hiking and camping. So the countryside is the perfect location for them." Geoffrey explained.

"How old are these teenagers?" Mum asked sounding a little worried.

"All of them are in their late teens. Don't worry Renee, I have met them all and they are all extremely well behaved and mature."

"Oh good. I don't want them to be hostile towards Bella."

"Renee, I know for a fact that they will treat her like a little sister."

"That would be nice for Bella. I do worry about her being an only child and that she finds it hard to connect with people."

"Mummy, I'm fine! I'm excited to make new English friends." I said kicking my legs freely in the back seat.

"See, Bella's excited," Geoffrey said, "Just relax Renee. She will be fine."

Half an hour later and Geoffrey turned left off of the main road and headed down a small winding road. A few minutes later and he turned down an almost invisible gated driveway and an enormous house came into view.

It had three levels and a huge front door and the long driveway lead to a triple garage. The tyres of the car continued to crunch on the gravel driveway as Geoffrey pulled up outside the front door.

Geoffrey and Mummy got out of the car and Geoffrey opened my door as Mummy helped me out of the car. I held Mummy's hand as we walked to the front door.

I waited, suddenly nervous, as Geoffrey rang the doorbell. I grasped Mum's hand tighter as the sound echoed behind the door as it signalled our arrival.

My ears strained to hear the sound of muffled footsteps that would indicate that someone was approaching. However, there was no sound, no indication, instead the door just suddenly opened…
