Arabella POV
"I DONT WANT TO" I screamed at Constance "Arabella I mean it if you don't stop this behaviour I'm going to march you straight back to you brothers" she warned starting to get sick of my little tantrum as she called it. "I DON'T CARE I'M NOT DOING IT AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME" I screamed at her but before she had time to answer another boomed from the doorway "THAT'S ENOUGH" I turned around angrily to see D'artagnan stood in to door way "what on earth is going on in here" he questioned frowning. Still furious with tears streaming down my face I started to scream back "SHE WA-" I was cut off "and I don't appreciate being screamed at by little girls so I suggest you quietly go and sit over there and calm yourself down before opening you mouth again" He ordered me over to the chair "BUT SH-" I started to protest "I will not say it again Arabella" D'artagnan said raising his voice. I screamed and furiously stomped over to the chair listening as Constance explained to D'artagnan what was happening and how my little "play time tantrum" came about. "I had already told her she couldn't go out because she had to go home soon bu-" I cut Constance off by furiously standing up from my chair screaming "THAT'S A LIE I ASKED IF I COULD GO OUT AND YOU DIDN'T ANSWER ME" I angrily screamed with tears pouring down my face. Turning to me D'artagnan spoke "What did I tell you about calming down before you spoke?" He questioned stepping closer to me "I DON'T CARE SHE'S NOT IN CHARGE OF ME I DON'T HAVE TO DO WHAT SHE SAYS" I screamed "Bella I'm warning you t-" I cut him off again "I HATE YOU" I screamed at the top of my voice at Constance who looked at me stunned. Before she had time to react I felt a stinging slap across my face making me stumble back clutching my cheek....everyone stayed silent for a few seconds while I shakily looked up at D'artagnan who was looking at his own hand as if he was shocked at what he had done. Before anyone had time to say anything I ran out of the room with even more tears flooding down my face "BELL WAIT" I heard D'artagnan shout but I just kept on running and running leaving a trail of tears behind me. I kept on running all the way to the garrison up the stairs bursting in to Athos office startling my three brothers "Bella what's wrong" Porthos asked but I ran past all of them grabbing the key for my bedroom off Athos desk as i ran by and in to my bedroom slamming the door and locking it behind me putting my desk chair in front for extra support. Not one minute later some one tried to open my door but failed then there was a knock at my bedroom door "Bella what's wrong darling open the door" Aramis asked concerned from the other side of the door. "no just leave me alone" I sobbed...there was a few seconds of silence before someone else spoke "are you hurt, are you injured?" Athos asked in the same concern as Aramis. I just sobbed in reply as I lay limp on my bed listening as I heard movement outside my door then the sound of some one picking the lock on my bedroom door. Two minutes later I was still sobbing and Porthos had finished picking the lock and tried to open the door still with no look with the chair lodging the door handle up. "Bright girl she must have something pushing the door closed" I heard Porthos say to witch I heard my brothers sigh.
I just lied on my bed sobbing my heart out for what felt like hours already feeling the bruise that was starting to appear in a purple form on my left cheek. Until I heard the voice of D'artagnan in the courtyard talking to my brothers making me sob even more and curl up in to a ball in the corner of my bed. Half an hour later when my sobs had turned in to sniffles there was yet another knock at my door making me jump "Bella let me in please" It was Aramis. I just sniffled in reply "Come on Mi Amor D'artagnan has told us everything just let me in so we can talk about it" he pleaded but this time I gave him a verbal response "no because if I let you in you'll smack me" I sniffed. There was a short pause "why would I do that?" Aramis asked confused "Because I shouted at Constance and ran away and I wouldn't let you in an-" my list was cut off "Arabella I promise none of us are angry with you I just want you to let me in so we can talk". I slowly got up from my bed and made my way over to the door gently pushing the chair that was jamming the handle to the side and opens the door an inch to see Aramis looking down at me worry plastering his face. Not being able to hold back I threw my arms around his waist bursting out in to sobs yet again allowing him to pick me up bridal style and carry me over to the chair by the lit fire and sit down still cradling me in that position as a parent would do to a crying child brushing my hair from my face in a calming manner. After ten minutes my crying had again turned to sniffles as I clung to Aramis now tear soaked shirt as he continued playing with me hair listening to the sound of the cracking fire. "You no none of us would ever hurt you don't you?" He asked quietly to which I gave a small nod "and what D'artagnan did he shouldn't have and he know that that's why he feels really bad as well" he tried to explain. I frowned "but if he knew he shouldn't do it then why did he" I questioned to witch Aramis thought of an answer "well...do you remember that time you hit that boy who called Jane a bad name?" He asked while I nodded frowning at the memory "well it's like that you said something that hurt Constance's feelings and that made D'artagnan angry because he loves Constance....but what you have to understand Bella is that he didn't mean to hurt you he just did it without thinking like you did when you hit that boy" he explained and I nodded starting to understand "but when I hit that boy for calling Jane that name Porthos smacked me REALLY hard so why isn't D'artagnan in trouble?" I asked and my brother half laughed to himself "I tell you what i'll send Porthos round to get him later" he said still half smiling. He looked down at me "let me look at your cheek" he instructed as I tipped my head back and to the side in to his arm as he ran his fingers along my cheek making me flinch "You'll have a bruise there for a good couple of week but apart from that I think you'll live" he said winking at me as I lifted my head back up leaning it on his chest. "But we do need to talk about what happened with Constance" he said making me cringe "so....what happened you tell me? And the full story please" He asked still playing with my hair. I shrugged "Olivia came and asked me if I wanted to play outside with her so I went and asked Constance if I could...but she said no" I said "and?" He asked prodding me on "but I when out anyway and she caught me and made me come back inside witch I did but I started to get really angry and screaming at her but then D'artagnan came in and then...then I told Constance that I hated her and that I didn't have to do what she told me because she isn't in charge of me" I finished letting any tears I had left in my eyes roll down my cheeks realising how much I must have hurt her feelings. "Ok...why would you go outside if you were already told you couldn't?" He asked and I shrugged "because you wouldn't have done that if one of us were there" I shrugged again "I guess I thought she just wouldn't notice I was gone" he continued to play with my hair "and why weren't you allowed outside?" He asked "because I was coming home soon" I replied. He nodded "so she wasn't doing it to be mean she was doing it because she didn't want you getting lost" he explained and I nodded "Arabella we leave you there when were on duty because we trust Constance to look after you...but just because we're not there doesn't mean you can go around doing what you want if Constance tells you to do something you should just do it and the same goes if she tells you you can't do something she's only doing it for your own good...she's doing us a favour Arabella and the least you can show her in return is a bit of respect like I know you were raised" he lectured me as I played with my hands fully listening to every word coming out of my brothers mouth. I nodded "I will, I'm sorry" I said and he nodded "I know but one of us will take you to Constance's tomorrow and you can apologise to her for what happened...yes?" He asked as I nodded "yes sir" I said as he winked at me "that's my girl" he smiled kissing my temple and picking me up putting me on the floor "come on let's go downstairs" he said leading me out of my bedroom and into Athos office were all my brothers were usually sat but this time one person was missing. D'artagnan. I stood still in the doorway no one yet to notice our presence thinking how D'artagnan must hate me. My thoughts were interrupted by Aramis clearing his throat and lightly nudging me to move forward witch I did and over to Athos seeking comfort from my eldest brother who pulled me on to his lap wrapping his arms protectively around me kissing my forehead. I sat silently listening looking in to the fire while my brother spoke among the selfs about a mission they had just been on. I stayed silent for another five minutes until my thoughts became to loud not to ask about "Dose D'artagnan hate me?" I asked no one in particular as my brothers convocation came to an end and they all looked at me shocked by my sudden question "what?" Athos asked looking down at me with the same shock as Porthos and Aramis "dose D'artagnan hate me?" I repeated my question this time a little bit louder. There was a moment of silence before anyone spoke "no of corse not what made you think that" Aramis asked still shocked by me question. I shrugged "I don't know...it's just I said all of those horrible things to Constance and he isn't even in the room and he's always in here on a night" I said holding back my tears "No of course he doesn't hate you none of us could ever hate you" Porthos tried to reassure me "then why isn't he in here like he always is" I asked quietly a lump rising in my throat. Porthos stood from his seat "watch I'll show he doesn't hate you" he said walking over to the door and throwing it open only sticking his head out in to the cold "D'ARTAGNAN GET IN HERE" Porthos bellowed in to the courtyard making me giggle as he winked at me sitting back in his seat. As predicted two minutes later D'artagnan appeared in the office "what do you want?" He asked slightly annoyed that he had to leave whatever he was doing "Bella wants to know if you hate her" Aramis informed D'artagnan who's eyes widened at looked at me in shock "What no, what would even make you think that?" Before I had time to answer Athos stood up allowing me to sit in his chair "we'll give you two some time to talk" he said as my three eldest brothers left the room leaving just me and D'artagnan. Who was still looking at me "what would make you think that I hated you?" He questioned again, I shrugged "because I shouted and said horrible things to Constance and.....you....you hit me" I said letting a tear roll down my cheek. D'artagnan cringed to himself moving to crouch down in front if me wiping away the stray tear with his thumb "hey I could NEVER hate you....Arabella you mean more to me than you could ever imagine...any of us would die before we let anything bad happen to you ,I don't want to hear that nonsense come out of your mouth ever again....yes?" He said raising his eyebrows at me as I nodded my head vigorously thankful that my brother didn't hate me. "And what I did Bella" he sighed looking at my purple cheek "it's ok it doesn't even hurt that much" I tried to reassure him he shook his head half smiling "no there is no excuse for what I did I was angry and I shouldn't have hit you the way I did but I promise you that as long as I live it won't happen again" he said sincerely "do you forgive me?" He asked me to witch I nodded "yes of corse I do" I said throwing my arms around his shoulders as he picked me up in a bone crushing hug swinging me around making me giggle. I lifted my head from the crook of his neck "and I'm sorry for the way I spoke to Constance and I promise i will go and apologise to her tomorrow?" I said looking at him "promise?" He asked raising his eyebrows "pinky promise" I giggled holding up my pinky and locking it with his. "I love you" I said giving him a kiss on the cheek "I love you to" he smiled copying my action while placing me on the floor and quickly landing a sharp smack to my bottom making me yelp in surprise and my hand to fly back to protect my bottom "and that is what will happen if this mornings incidents happen again" he warned "am I clear?" He raised his eyebrows "yes sir" I replied respectfully. He knelt down kissing my forehead just as the rest of my brothers walked in "ah best friends again I see" Aramis said smiling at us "absolutely" D'artagnan said spinning me round making me laugh. The rest of the night was pretty I eventful we just stayed sat talking until bedtime and the next day like promised Aramis took me to see Constance and I apologised for everything that I had done and amazingly she smiled and gave me a great big bear hug.
"I DONT WANT TO" I screamed at Constance "Arabella I mean it if you don't stop this behaviour I'm going to march you straight back to you brothers" she warned starting to get sick of my little tantrum as she called it.
