Chapter 1

Early 1550's:

Princess Isabella was walking along the woods of Romania, it was a rather warm day, she was near a lake, she knelled down and splashed her face with some cold, fresh water. She ran a hand in her long soft brown hair and she turned around as she heard the sound of a horse approaching.

Prince Benjamin ascended from the trees on his horse and his eyes met Bella's. The wind picked up and he inhaled her sweet scent, the scent of roses hit his nose. He stopped his horse and jumped down from it. He was a rather tall, handsome and dark haired prince. He walked over to Bella and he kissed her hand bowing to her softly "Hello, beautiful Princess" he said smiling at her softly "I am Prince Benjamin"

Bella blushed and she curtsied to him "Princess Isabella" she said and smiled warmly at him. Her family was not that rich, she was from a lower social group then Prince Benjamin. Ben's parents very rich and they thought low of people that had less money then them. They were driven by power and money, Ben was not like that, he hated to turn out like his parents. 

Being alive in the 1550's was not picking and choosing. The girls always had to get married off first, even at the ages 15, 16. The boys were of course older, always 5 or more years senior of the girls. They always had to be required to be good warriors as well.They could get married later then the girls. The girls were always expected to fall pregnant soon. Sometimes Prince and Princess got married even in the same family, Love was not an ingredient in their parents eyes, only the money and power and passing the throne down to someone else. Bella was currently 15 and Benjamin was 25.

"It's my most humble pleasure to meet you Princess Isabella" Prince Benjamin said as he kissed her cheek softly, he smiled at her, she was the most beautiful girl he has ever layed his eyes on. Bella felt her cheeks flush red when he kissed her cheek.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too Prince Benjamin" she said softly

"Call me Ben" he said "Please, call me Ben" he looked into her eyes as he stepped a bit closer to her, he stroked her cheek softly "You are so beautiful" he said "Your beauty just shines through and it's like a blind man is seeing the sun."

Bella blushed even more redder "You're very sweet....Ben" she said, when she said Ben, her voice was just lighter then air, lighter then silk, even softer then linen. "Do you live far from here?" she asked looking at him.

"Just there" He said as he pointed to the castle on the top of the hills behind the woods and Bella felt her breath catch in her throat, he lived in the castle that belonged to her parent's enemy. The two family were in a feud and did not get along. He saw the shocked expression on her face "Are you part of the family that mine is feuding with?"

Bella sighed and she nodded sadly "Yes, I am sadly" she said looking at him.

He lightly lifted her chin up so she looked at him "Don't fret my dear Princess, I am not mad. For I see goodness and beauty in you, something to love."

Bella smiled at him warmly and stroked his cheek softly, she then heard a voice calling her "I have to go, can I see you again? soon?" she said

"Meet me here tomorrow" He said and before she left he kissed her lips briefly in a soft goodbye kiss before he let her ran off and he smiled watching her.

Bella looked back at Prince Benjamin who stood there still smiling, she smiled back and then she ran off back home, she bit her lip slightly, still feeling his lips on hers.

Present:

"Bells, come on, we're going to be late" Georgie's voice bellowed even outside, they were on the deck. They were going to a party for the release of the movie Prince Caspian. 

"I am coming, I am coming" Bella called back as she tried to fix her shoe that kept falling off, she ran after Georgie onto the ship and tripped as her shoe came off again.

"Woah easy there" a voice said as Bella felt strong arms catch her. Bella looked up and saw the most handsome guy she has ever seen in her life, the voice, the hands, the handsomeness, the kind eyes, the longer hair. All Ben Barnes.

"Umm thank you, my shoe keeps coming off" Bella said giggling as Ben steadied her so she would not fall again.

Ben chuckled and smiled at her warmly "It's alright, I am Ben" he said and held out his hand to her smiling at her softly

"Isabella, but prefer Bella" she said shaking his hand softly "Nice to meet you Ben" she said.

"Pleasure is all mine" He said as he looked into her eyes, he got lost in her eyes and it was like he was having a deja vu. He felt like he knows her and like he has meet her before but he could not remember where he has seen her before.

"You okay?" Bella asked seeing the strange expression on his face.

He nods "Yeah sorry, just got lost in your eyes, they are rather beautiful like you" He said making Bella blush bright red.

Georgie walked over with Will, Anna and Skandar "Ah, I see you two already met" she said

Bella nods "Yeah, he kind of saved me from tripping up over my own shoes" she giggled softly.

Anna giggled and smiled "Yeah, that sounds like Ben,  Ben to the rescue" she said and giggled softly "I am Anna by the way" she said holding out her hand to Bella.

"Bella, Georgie's cousin" Bella said shaking her hand softly

"Oh, so you're the one that our Georgie can't stop talking about" Will and Skandar said at the same time.

Bella giggled and nodded "I guess so" she smiled "Yeah, she can be cheeky when she wants to" Bella said wrapped an arm around Georgie's shoulder and smiled "My cheeky little cousin"

"You're only older then me by 6 years Bella." Georgie giggled and she pouts.

"I know I am, but that still makes you the cheeky one." she said and Ben just chuckled as he smiled warmly.

"Yes Georgie is cheeky" Ben said

"You know it" Georgie said giggling

Bella giggled and tried to stand but her shoe kept bugging her "Ow" she winced as her leg went all strange.

Ben looked at her "Let me help" he said and knelled down and he lightly took her leg in his hand and he fixed her shoe so it would stop falling off and not cause her any more trouble. Bella blushed at his soft touch.

"Thank you" she said as he stood up, he was close to her.

"You're welcome" he said and smiled at her, the light breeze blew her hair into her eyes so he gently tucked it behind her ear.
