Arielle Anders

I slowly woke up to soft whispering in my ear, I slowly opened my eyes to see a smiling Angelo. I slowly sat up and smiled back, rubbing my eyes.

"Dinner is ready, little one". Angelo spoke softly, getting up from the bed.

I grabbed stuffy and got up from the bed, Angelo softly took my hand and led me out the room and we walked downstairs together. He walked past the kitchen and in the dining room. I only saw Mario, Marco and Giovanni.

They turned to me and smiled.

"Hey, little one. Sleep well?". Giovanni asked, walking towards me.

I nodded at him with a smile.

"You must be starving, sit". Mario said, I slowly walked over taking a random empty seat and Giovanni sat next to me. Marco sat across from me, and Angelo sat next to him. Giovanni was on my right and Mario was on my left.

I looked at the different options of food and desserts in front of me. There was pizza, boneless wings, and different types of pasta. It all looked delicious, I really loved pasta.

I looked over at the door after hearing someone walk in, he had brown short hair and tattoos on his forearms and a lip piercing and he had hazel eyes, he was wearing gray sweatpants and a black t-shirt. I noticed they all had on comfortable clothing.

He looked at me and smiled, taking a seat next to Angelo.

"Hello Arielle, my name is Rolando. It's a pleasure to meet you, little one". He spoke softly, making me calm a bit. I smiled at him.

"H-hello Lando- Rolando". I corrected myself, every time I would meet someone new, I always gave them nicknames.

He slightly chuckled. "You can call me Lando, it's okay". I smiled at him, he seemed nice even though he looked scary like his friends.

"Would you like some shrimp pasta?". Angelo asked me, I nodded at him, and he just stared at me.

"Yes please!". I finally spoke, rather excited. I watched as he scooped some pasta on my plate. I clapped happily and giggled, making everyone at the table chuckle.

"What would you like to drink, princess?". Giovanni said, pointing at different types of juices on the table.

"A-apple juice!". I smiled, he smirked, grabbing a glass cup. I pouted, making him look at me.

"What do you want, come on. Use your words princess". He said, placing the glass back down.

I looked down and fiddled with my fingers, nervous to say that I actually wanted to drink out of a sippy cup.

"S-sippy... cup...?". I quietly asked, I heard him pouring my juice and placing it down in front of me. I looked up and a smile came to my face. It was a moana sippy cup just like my pacifier.

I looked at my fork next to my plate.

I didn't like to feed myself, but I feel like I already embarrassed myself enough.

I slowly grabbed my fork, and slowly stabbed into the shrimp and took a bite. As soon as I took a bite of my food, everyone started eating and talking.

I sat quietly and just ate my food, taking a few sips from my sippy cup in between eating.

Gathering up the courage, I cleared my throat making everyone stop their conversation and look at me.

"U-umm... why did the bad guys want to hurt me?". I asked innocently, why would anyone want to hurt me? I don't know many people.

I looked at Giovanni and he seemed to be staring at something on my neck, I saw something change in his eyes, but I don't know what it was. He looked at me.

"We don't know right now princess, but they won't hurt you again. We'll protect you". He said, moving a curly strand behind my ear.

"R-really?". I asked, looking around the table. They all nodded, making me giggle a bit.

"Are you guys my security guards? Like in the movies?". I asked, I looked at Marco and saw he was faintly smiling. Once he noticed me looking at him, it faded.

"It's a bit different from the movies, ladybug". Rolando said, taking a sip of something red. I'm guessing it was wine. I'm not allowed to have that. I smiled at the new nickname he gave me.

"But yes, you can call us bodyguards". Angelo added, I smiled. I never had a bodyguard before. Now I have more than one, I'm lucky hehe. Bad guys, stay away!

I happily began eating again letting them get back to their conversation, I didn't know what they were talking about, but it seemed important.

"Little one". Giovanni spoke, making me look at him, a noodle hanging from my mouth. Everyone in the room chuckled as I slurped and chewed.

"Would you like to see our garden after you finish eating?". He asked, I quickly nodded.

"Yes! Pwease..". He smiled and nodded, I finish my food seconds later being happy to see their garden.
