Chapter 9: To Be A Princess
Bella's POV

I was pretty much being carried by the idiot two guards, which one of them was talking about seeing their family for the first time in over 5 years. "Wait, so the Queen hasn't let you see your family?" I questioned quietly. That would be like me not being with the Cullens for five years... Maybe that's what will happen.

"Nope. And now since we found you, we can see them as much as we want." The other man said with the darker hair. Two doors finally opened a few minutes later, and there was a women who looked somewhat like me. She had long brown curly hair, but she had the bluest eyes. Hm, well I must have gotten the color from my father then. I wonder who he is... wait why isn't he the King?

"Isabella!" She spoke. She quickly ran over to me, but I took a step back. "Now you come and give your mother a hug. I haven't seen you-"

"Since you gave me up." I said sarcastically. Wasn't my fault she didn't want me. Why would she want me now? "Why am I even here?"

She looked thoughtful for a moment, then took my hand in hers and pulled me into her. My arms hung limply at my sides while hers wrapped around my shoulders tightly. She released me and set me upright.

Then I ran. She called after me, and I heard her heels clicking on the tiles. I tripped on a rug, but caught myself on the steps and then ran up them. "Your room is the second one on the right!" She yelled up, a little to happily.

A room? Okay, now I really needed to get out of here. There were people everywhere! And they all were wearing either dresses or tuxes. Oh, please don't tell me I have to wear a dress.

"Isabella! Welcome!" Someone said to me as I walked into my room. She looked young, almost like the age of Mom. Why were these people so nice? "Yeah, don't even try to get out of here. I've been trying since I was 10."

"Who are you?" I asked. Why has she been in here since she was 10?

"Oh, sorry I'm your mother's adopted daughter. Apparently my father didn't give her enough money to be her King anymore, so she took me away from him. And I've been here ever since." Alright, now I'm afraid AND sad.

"I'm sorry," I told her. I knew the feeling of being taken away. They better get me out of here. I can't get out alone. "what's your name?"

"I'm Rachel. Nice to finally meet you," she smiled. Her long brown hair got into her eyes as she spoke, raising her right hand for me to shake. But she didn't shake it, she pulled me into a hug. It reminded me of the ones that me and Rosalie used to share. Ugh, you Cullen's hurry up!

"Now, why don't you go take a shower and get situated, and then we can start your princess training." She said, walking out of the room.

"Wait, PRINCESS TRAINING!" I yelled out the door. I sighed. This was going to be a long day.


After taking a shower and putting on a blue and white dress, and sadly, three inch heels. Kill. Me. Now. I've been here for only a couple hours and I already wanted to smash my head into a wall. Rachel came back in, and I knew that this was going to be a sight to see.

"Now, here we go. Now when your mother-"

"Renee," I cut her off. She wasn't my mother.

"Renee, talks to you. She doesn't want nagging, or bragging. She will literally take you into another room and threaten you. Then there is no sweating. At all."

"Why not?"

"I have no idea, this is just from the list she brought up. I'm pretty sure that half of this stuff on here isn't true. But just do it." She told me confindently. I just nodded. I didn't want her getting in trouble if she was suppost to be teaching me this stuff.

"Moving on. No tripping, or slipping." Rachel said, staring at me. I laughed.

"I'll try not to.. that's kind of what I'm known for with Edward-" I said but then I stopped. Edward, where are you? He's not coming Bella. This is the only time where he isn't able to just come and take you into his arms and say everything was okay.

"Next. Stay proud. Be confident. If someone asks you a question, answer it confidently." She said, putting down the paper that Renee had given her to read off of. She stood up, pulling me along with her.

"Quick question! What spoon do you use!" She yelled out quickly, walking around the room.

"Um, the one that's there?" I laughed out nervously. How was I suppost to know? Suddenly she openend two doors and there stood a shoe closet that could put Mom's to shame. Wait, are those flats! I quickly ran to them, only to have my hands slapped away by Rachel.

"That's another thing. If your dress reaches the ground and your feet aren't visable, you may wear your flats. If they are visable, heels that are 2 or more inches must be worn. For speacial occasions they must be worn then also. While walking around the house, you may wear the one inch heels. Got it?" She said quickly, not waiting for my reply.

"Now, do a plie." She said. I did what was said. I started falling backwards but she quickly balanced me back, straightening me up. Wow, alright gotta work on my dance moves.

"Alright, when you bow. Bend from above, not at the waist. Most of the time people will be bowing to you, but just in case. Now, wave with your fingers closed. Yeah, you'll look like a weirdo, but it's just what the Queen would want to see."

Oh yeah, that's not stupid. Hm, I wonder what would happen if I gave Renee the peace sign. Hm, we could try that out later.

"Hm. Alright, now how to stand. Because this," she said, waving her hands at me, "will not do. Now, shoulder's back, tummy in and, pinky up and lift the chin. Good, now slowly turn your head from side to side."

"This is really weird. But alright..." I muttered to her. She just laughed.

"Trust me, you'll get the hang of it. Sooner or later," she muttered out the last of it. "Now. To be a princess is to always look your best. To be a princess is to never get to rest. Hey, just joking. You're a princess. You'll get some sleep. Most of the time."

"Oh, thanks Rachel." I sarcastically said, and then got the reply of don't mention it.

"There may be some family portraits. You must sit for those, and never squirm. What really helps is if you just lay down on your matress and don't move. It's really simple since it's quite firm. Speak, and be clever, which I can see you are. Never be at a loss for words. Alright, now that pretty much sums it up. Now, review time!" Oh jeez, this is turning into school all over again.

"Now, do a plie and don't?"

"Ever fall."

"When someone talks to you?"

"Answer confidently, never at a loss for words. Seriously, this is turning out to be like some Barbie movie Emmett made me watch with him."

"Do keep a grip and don't?"

"Ever crack. Wait, that wasn't even a question. How did I know that?"

"You already know everything you need to. It's in your subconcious. Now you just need to let it all out." She said with a smile.

Okay, so this is all that I needed to know? Sounded kind of simple actually.

"Oh yeah, and you must also learn to speak Italian fluently."

Now here comes the tricky part.


So how was that? Yes, I was somewhat taking some of the things Bella needed to learn from The Princess and the Pauper. It's a pretty good movie actually... not better than Tangled, but it will do. So anyways, review and the next chapter will be out shortly, maybe even tonight.

So next chapter, it's going to fast foward a couple of years, and the Cullen's will probably either be mentioned or maybe actually come into the castle if I feel like changing the chapter which may most likely happen.

Alright, so remember to review! They make me type faster haha. Alright, peace!
