Country Princess

Chapter 1

Chapter One

I sat alone in my huge, bright, purple bedroom. I sat staring out my window into the bright open field. I was still fuming from my fight with my mother just a few minutes earlier, I only asked her if I could go out horseback riding with my best friend Gracie.

"Mom, can I please go horseback riding?"
"No! Bella, we have talked about this many times!"
"More liked yelled about it" I mumbled under my breath.
"WHAT WAS THAT?! I may be getting older but I am not deaf!" My mother snapped back
"Ok ok calm down I'm sorry." I wasn't, really I wasn't sorry at all.
"You remember our little rule?" Mom said in a not so friendly voice.
"Yes. 'Princess Bella is never a loud to leave this castle unless she is going somewhere with her parents' ok?" I said half sarcastic and half monotone voice
"Anything else?" She half said with kindness
"Umm 'Princess Bella is not to associate with anyone else outside of the castle, unless they are of other royalty' is there anything else?" I bit back sourly.
"Other than the fact that I absolutely will not let you near Gracie ever again. I hate that child so much." My mother said with a stern voice with a hint of an evil voice and grin.
"You can't and will not tell me what to do! I will hang out with who ever I want! After all I am a princess and I need to be kind to others!" I yelled at her

Her evil grin faded away, and I knew right then and there that I should have kept my mouth shut.

"EXCUSE ME! For being only 12 years old you sure have a mouth on you! And that's what you think, princesses being all nice well I only do this because you are nasty, have no manners, and are always angry and upset! I'm only doing you a favor."
"I'm always like that because of you! You always yell at me to be perfect to set the perfect image! Well it's not like it really matters because I never leave these castle grounds!"
"Well aren't you just being an aggressive little one." She said creepily with a hint of anger
"I'm going to my bedroom to try and calm myself down" I said quietly and with a little bit of force
"Ok well come back when you are ready and maybe I'll be able to talk some sense into you." She said sarcastically. And evilly

I turned around and rolled my eyes, and headed straight for the millions of stairs. As I got a quarter way up the stairs, I could hear my mom yell to the family's head maid/assistant.

"OLIVIA! When you get done polishing my bed frame, go lock Mackenzie's window."

I chuckled a little as I walked past my parents room and heard Olivia sigh. As soon as I stepped into my room I pulled out my iPhone and instantly started talking to Gracie. Gracie has long, silky brown hair and is fair skinned. She is 5'1 and has gorgeous brown eyes. She is my closest friend and has been since we were 5. I impatiently waited for Gracie to answer and when she finally did, I nearly fell off my bed. I sighed when I found out Gracie was out riding and couldn't come over. Just then I heard her door creak open, and a pale white face peaked through.
