Ramona

3rd Person Pov:

A sharp clickling of a pair of heels filled the rather dull castle. The sickening stench of cheep perfume filled Little Kelly's nose making her scrunch it up in disgust she didn't know why she was called down from her room where she originally was in the middle of making her teddies have a tea party. But here she was standing awkwardly beside her father welcoming a friend of his.

The woman was tall and quite beautiful if you looked past her over exaggeted smile and annoying voice that sounded as if a cat had been strangled then ran over by a bus afterwards She had raven hair and dark eyes with pale skin, her nails were painted blood red to match her long red gown which looked brand new.

"Your wearing the dress I sent! " King Tom announced stepping away from his throne to greet the peculiar woman.

The woman grinned like the chesure cat and bowed extending her hand out to the man in front of her. He took her hand and placed a soft kiss on her pale knuckles which made little Kelly feel rather nauseous as she quickly looked away feeling odd when she thought back to her mother who had left the castle only a day ago.

"You look ravishing Ramona" she heard her father say in admiration she could practically see the drool foaming in his mouth. Little Kelly was young but she wasn't naïve she knew that this wasn't just any friend. And she knew her mother wouldn't like this Ramona woman anywhere near her father.

"Oh Tom you flirt" The woman raised her manicured hand out to flaunt off her freshly done nails-he most likely paid for them to be done too little Kelly thought.

She thought she could slip away no longer did she find herself interested in watching this woman dig her claws into her dad. But before she could make her escape, the woman caught her in the corner of her eye.

"And this must be Little Kelly! Ah my goodness your father talks highly of you, I can't wait for us to get to know each other we're going to be the best of friends" Ramona said innocently hugging the small blonde. Little Kelly didn't know how to feel, she didn't sound like she was evil... Maybe she's nice?

"Why don't you two go upstairs I have some Royal duties to attend to" King Tom announced smiling at the pair getting along before he left the castle grounds to attend to his meetings.

"Right... Shall we play in your room little one?" Ramona asked, she watched as the emerald eyed girl smile brightly at that question and practically dragged her up the stairs. Ramona smiled at her eagerness to have someone's company and thought back to when she was a little girl where she was locked away from her family and the outside world. She thought that the little girl must be rather lonely and almost felt guilty...

Maybe she was pitttyful of the young princess or saw her as a daughter that she could of had if only she had married Tom all those years ago as arranged before Sophie stole him away from her...maybe the life she wanted was the one she was owed... It's only natural to steal it back right?
