Once in a small cozy cottage surrounded by beautiful willow trees, there lived a small but big family. The childrens names were Fiora and Elizabeth but the parents don’t bother talking to or about Fiora since they love Elizabeth so much. Fiora had been thinking about running away for a while but she finally chose to because of how rude they were to her. Fiora was young, around the age 15-17 and her sister Elizabeth was around 14-16. One day something happened and Fiora mostly expected it, but it hit her like a punch to the stomach.
Fiora was walking around her lovely home before she finally heard Elizabeth telling her family lies, “Mother, father, Fiora stole the food and all of my expensive clothes!”, Elizabeth screams as her face turns a light shade of red, “And she hit me, very hard. I truly swear I'm not lying!” The lying girl swore to their family that Fiora had hit her.
Fiora’s eyes become moist and watery after listening to all of Elizabeth’s lies. Before the tears spilled out she left all of them behind. Fiora's thoughts overwhelm her, she decides very fast that she’s going to leave without having them know. She ‘says’ her goodbyes to herself yet she really doesn’t say anything in reality, after her goodbyes she ran away as fast as a cheetah who wanted to catch prey.
Fiora ended up living off of herself for a couple of days since she ran away but a sweet baker came across the girl and offered her a job as a bakery cleaner, after getting a decent amount of money Fiora buys a cottage in the wintery willow tree forest, which took her around a month and a half to finish working for, her job paid good most of the time when she wasn't as lazy. Once she bought the house it took many hours of work to bring it back to good shape.
Elizabeth finds out eventually from the talk in the village, mostly because it was spreading as fast as a beehive. After Elizabeth found out about how well Fiora was doing since she left they all had gone out to search for her in order to make her come back to her horrible family, even after all of the years of straight lying and rudeness to Fiora they still attempted many times.
“No, I'm not going back home with any of you guys!” Fiora turned them down politely but yet angrily too, “Please stop asking me to come back, I’m done with you!” said Fiora once again.
“Please come back, we’re sorry!” They all had said in reunison. Elizabeth seems extremely mad, almost as if steam was coming out of her ears like a raging bull. Elizabeth talks to Fiora and her surprised family stare at Fiora as annoyance streams out of they’re face before they all end up leaving her house and try again the next day.
Fiora knew she had a gut feeling it wouldn't be good if she went back so she chose the decision to stay in the home she bought. Fiora loved everything about her new house, especially how she knows she's living so much better than before when she was treated horribly. This also makes her feel like if she goes back with them everything would reset to how it was before.
Elizabeth regrets everything she's done to Fiora and she feels extremely guilty so at that point she wouldn't dare to look up at Fiora when they were trying to get her to come back. Elizabeth felt more remorse and regrets from lying about her for years since she realized that Fiora had done nothing wrong at all. Fiora was doing so much better by the time she left them behind in their old family home that had improved over the years. Fiora had been nice to them all her life and Elizabeth just kept throwing her out.
After the interaction between all of the family she felt as if she was free from being bothered, Fiora spent most of her days either at work or in her house living her life. She was quite happy with everything in her life but one thing did bother her, and it was how long she's been alone. While fiora was standing outside the breeze brushed over her shoulder and through her hair, she stared at the sky that was clear from all of the clouds and filled with a sunset. She asked herself, “Why do I feel so alone in my house sometimes?” and she thought hard about the question until, “I feel alone because there's no one else here with me.”
Fiora decides that it was time for her to go get groceries, While she was walking down the snow covered paths she saw the mysterious, and strange girl who looked almost around her age. Fiora felt like she should talk to her out of curiosity.
“Hello?” Fiora had asked the girl.
“Huh, yes?” The young girl had replied to Fiora, “Did you need something?”
“What’s your name?” Fiora asked calmly without trying to spook the young girl around her age but she didn't realize that the girl was as calm as a lake.
“My name’s Jane, thank you for asking.” She replied, “But why did you need to know that?” The young girl had taken her hood off.
Fiora was extremely surprised to see that it was her best friend that had gone missing months ago, Fiora was too stunned to speak before Jane looked up from the cat she had been petting the entire time. Then Jane saw her face and her heart dropped in shock, they both quickly hugged each other and almost started to cry extremely happy tears.
After many months of not seeing each other they reunited and started talking again. They both caught up on how they both were doing and they felt as free as a butterfly almost that entire week of hanging out and talking before things went downhill.
Fiora and Jane were both so happy after finding each other again that Fiora was showing off Jane more in public, and she started to look at Jane awkwardly since she was hanging out with people Fiora didn't know and she felt that it was weird for her almost like she preferred being her only friend.
She didn't know what she was feeling, but it felt most like jealousy. Fiora thought that the more she kept talking about Jane to the town so she wasn't a weird and quiet girl that they would just keep getting separated again.
“Are you okay?” Jane had asked Fiora out of the blue. “You seem off today.”
“Oh, yeah, I'm fine.” Fiora replied back.
They continued on their way through the forest towards Fiora’s house, taking about a five minute break to sit near a pond filled with many types of fish and surrounded by willow trees. They ended up laughing for a while as they told each other funny stories and silly jokes.
After a while by the pond they ended up forgetting about Fiora’s house and started heading back into the small bustling village where everyone was roaming, having fun and enjoying their lives. All before Jane had started acting differently around other people again.
“Haha, That was so funny!” Jane had said before she stopped talking, and another person had come up to them both.
“Right!” Fiora giggled to herself before being quieted by Jane and her Shh’s.
Fiora seemed confused and pulled her off to the side asking her many questions about the way she's acting around others to the point they both got mad and left each other by themselves.
Fiora walked into the bakery where she had worked and still is working and she decided to ask Emil for a raise and asked if she can help anymore than she already is, mostly because she just wants to clear the steam that's boiling inside of her, to her surprise Emil does.
“Oh, yes I do!” Emil answered, “if you want to!” she then added on.
“I would love to, but may I ask what I'll be doing?” Fiora question with curiosity.
“Could you take out the spoiled drinks, and food, clean the tables nicely and spotlessly, dust the shelves, and wipe the pastry display. While I cook us a nice lunch before we do the rest?” Emil asked kindly even if Fiora did not accept what she had asked.
“Of course I may, plus I just want to help you out some more since I'm only a cleaner at this lovely bakery!” Fiora replied excitedly.
Both Emil and Fiora went around the bakery cleaning and cooking until the place was spotless and filled with a delightful aroma of cookies, cakes and everything else.
Jade and Fiora apologize to each other a day after Fiora cleaned and helped out around the bakery. They solved the issue they had and everything went back to normal. Jade had even said she would stop acting differently, so now Fiora and Jane are alright and so is Emil's bakery.
Chapter 1
The pregnancy
In England there was a man and woman. The man's name was Rin and the woman's name was Eve. They both lived in a small comfortable cottage, in the woods, by a small lake, and about 30 minutes away walking was a small village Rin worked in. The cottage had a very good, loving atmosphere and aura around it. The cottage had 2 rooms, 1 bathroom that they shared, 1 small comfortable living room, 1 small kitchen. The lake has flowers in the water with birds always flying above it, especially swans. The forest ground had beautiful bloodroots, fireweed, orchids, wild geraniums, wood anemones, trout lilies, etc. There are a lot of mushrooms on the ground with a very natural aura around the trees.
Eve (the wife) did not have a job that made her money, but she did have a job to do which was house work and outside gardening work. She would do yard work, cook dinner before Rin got home from work, clean the dishes, sweep, make bread, cleans the outhouse, etc. Eve was and is a very nice beautiful woman, she is 5’3 and has black beautiful long hair, Eve is pale and mature, she also had dark blue eyes with freckles across her cheeks, she has doe eyes and a button nose, and she is very known for her kindness people usually take for granted. Rin (the husband), Rin sells food, and sometimes makes food, he axes trees, makes shoes and sells shoes. Rin has black hair and onyx eyes with his cold stare, he has a pointy nose, Rin is 6 '1 and extremely pale, and VERY mature and serious. Rin doesn't really like or talk to anyone except his wife, but if he really has to he will talk to people.
One day Eve realized she hasn’t had her menstrual cycle in a month and she been feeling morning sickness and she just felt weird, so she waited to go up to Rin to go talk to him about it, soon Rin was home from work and Eve went up to him fidgeting with her fingers and playing with her hair she then spoke in a quiet soft tone “Rin…can we go to the physician I don't feel myself, I feel sick.”
Rin then says “Are you okay? What are your symptoms? What happened?” He kept asking questions
“Yeah, I just missed my menstrual cycle for a month and I feel nauseous and sick all the time, and my body feels heavier and weirder” Eve said with a nervous, quivering voice.
“Yeah yeah we can go lets go, can you walk? Do you need help?” Rin asked, his face was a little paler than usual, he kinda had an idea of what was happening.
When they made it to the Maison Dieu (otherwise called (in english) God’s house) They talked to the Physician and they waited for what he would say next, soon after about 7 minutes the Physician went back into the room with Rin and Eve “Congratulations Mrs. Eve you are pregnant!” said the Physician, When Rin and Eve heard that they started smiling and Eve hugged Rin tightly, and Rin was jumping up and down with her in his arms.
Chapter 2
The Midwife
As the pregnancy progresses Rin and Eve decided to go out a pick a midwife they wanted that would be good to help Eve go through childbirth, They weren't poor but they also definitely not rich, so they got a decent midwife that didn't want a arm and a leg or that was so bad that it was free, named Alice. Alice has always been complemented about how beautiful she was with her short blonde hair, pale blue eyes, long, sharp nose and 1 freckle under both her eyes, But people would say her personality was a bit off, one minute she would be smiling, happy, helping you and then she would not care about what you have to say. Alice had a husband and 4 kids and they lived in a 3 bedroom cottage.
Rin, Eve and Alice all met up so they can talk about what they want to do, they decided they want Alice to meet up at their house so they can talk about some things, When Alice arrived Eve helped Alice sit down and got Alice, Rin and herself a cup of Chamomile and Echinacea tea and they started to talk.
“So how far along are you?” said Alice as she took a sip of the tea “yum this is very good what is it?” Alice also exclaimed.
“Oh it's Chamomile and Echinacea tea, I heard it's very good for when you are pregnant, anyways I am or I would like to say 2-3 months pregnant.” Eve squealed with excitement, smiling.
“That's great so your just starting, well ever visit you have with me will be around $0.50-$0.75 depending on what it is and when it's time to give birth it will be $1.00, we can call it quit anytime you want meaning if you don't want me helping you anymore you can 100 percent fire me” Alice explained with a serious face. After Rin Alice and Eve talked for a bit more, Alice finally left, Rin and Eve were proud that they picked Alice as their midwife.
Alice would help Eve throughout the pregnancy telling her what to do, what to eat and what not to eat even though all Alice was supposed to do is help Eve have a successful childbirth. Alice would often give Eve herbs like Garlic, Ginger, Turmeric, Chamomile and more for free or half off. Rin and Eve really did appreciate Alice and all she was doing to keep Eve and the baby in good health.
Chapter 3
The birth
As the months progressed, Eve was on her Finally month, but the only thing that was weird about her stomach was it way bigger than all of the other pregnant woman at 9 month, but she brushed it off thinking maybe it was just more water in the womb then usual, not knowing she was going to have triplets. Rin made sure to keep extra eyes on Eve always making sure she was comfortable and loved in the most possible ways he could, he even started to cook dinners, even if they weren't the best, after work he would usually clean the house up a bit before making some Chamomile and Echinacea tea which he would always find some Chamomile and Echinacea on the way back home from work.
Alice also made sure to keep an extra eye on Eve everytime she came, trying to see or predict when her water will break or when she will be in labor, Alice made extra sure to get all the stuff she needed just in case Eves water did break and she was going into labor, Alice made sure Eve felt comfortable with her and the atmosphere she would be giving birth in.
Soon on a Friday of the 31st Eve was walking out of the bedroom to the kitchen to see if she could go make some food, That's when Rin walked in caution making sure me was at least 6-inches away from her at all times just in case she didn't feel good, or if she would collapse. About 10 minutes later her water broke and it was time for the baby to come out. Rin ran to the midwife house that was about 10 minutes away, And when he got there he started banging and shouting at the door “It's time! Hurry up, we don't have much longer! Alice!.”
Alice ran to the door and opened it. She was not ready for what he just said, but she quickly composed herself “Okay! uhh… Follow me and grab the stuff I tell you too, and fast!”
Rin nodded and followed her, grabbing the stuff that Alice told him too. After 20 minutes of being gone Rin and Alice burst through the door and into the room where Eve is currently laying down, tears rolling down her eyes, fist clenched, and head tilted back. Rin quickly ran to Eve's side holding her hand and giving her some encouragement, through words and kisses on the knuckles. And Alice went right to work.
After the first baby was out, Alice quickly realized that there was another one, her eyes widened and mouth fell open with a gasp, she couldn't believe her eyes, but she quickly composed herself and got back to work getting the other baby. When she took out the other baby, she looked at the both of them and they looked alike so much, and as Alice turned her head she saw another baby, she quickly set down the other babies and got to work trying to get the other baby out. When Alice took the third baby out it was too late, and it had sadly passed away, but Alice definitely did not want to take the blame for this…
Chapter 4
The ‘Devil’ babies
“Y-You had t-three babies…And one of them…d-died” Alice stumbled over her words trying to make it believable that she didn't do it.. “T-The devil….T-The devil is within these babies!” Alice exclaims.
Eve and Rin both looked at each other, both of their pupils small and their faces pale, they couldn't believe what they were hearing “T-The devil…W-What do you mean, a-and three! three babies!” Eve yelled as she stuttered over her words. “This can’t be possible! The devil couldn't have killed our baby! T-This has to be fake! Eve would never and I mean never do anything that involves the devil! So how can the babies be a part of the Devil!” Rin yelled, Rin knew Eve was far from doing devilish things, Eve couldn't even kill a fly without crying right after.
“It appears so… T-These are….are….are Devil babies! I tried everything to get the devil out, I fed the baby herbs and now the devil has taken it as a sacrifice! The whole village will be cursed!” Alice trembles in fear as she yells these words. Eve and Rin couldn't believe what she was hearing, ‘The whole village is cursed!’ Eve thought to herself ‘it's all my fault too!’ Eve also thought to herself. Rin just stared at Eve. He couldn't believe what was happening so it took him a minute to come back to reality.
Rin looked at Eve before saying “w-where…Are you making deals with the devil?” he asked, looking at her in disbelief, stumbling over his words. “NO! I WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, AND DISGUSTING THING!” Eve shouted at Rin before smacking him upside his head for even thinking she would do something like that. Rin started to rub the place Eve's hand impacted him at, he also couldn't believe what he said or even thought Eve would do something like that. Rin knew that if Eve was doing something like that, that she would tell him without hesitation.
Alice looked between the both of them thinking about what to do or say next, she knew that if they found out that she really was the one that killed the baby and not the devil she would be in big trouble, so she just acted nonchalant and serious as she worked on the other 2 babies, monitoring their health with herbs and baths them.
Chapter 5
The village
After a few days Alice knew she had to tell the village before Rin and Eve actually found out she was the one to kill their third baby. Alice went to the village and told the people “The devil killed Eve's baby” and “the devil is within these babies” and some more nonsense. Alice did feel guilty for what she was doing but she couldn’t let people know she was actually the one that killed the baby. She already knew that people would believe her because Rin and Eve had identical twins.
Everyday when Rin went to work everyone in the village would whisper among themselves about Rins babies and Eve, side glazing at Rin, Rin would usually ignore them not caring about what they are saying or thinking but little did Rin know, they would thinking about how to kill the babies and Eve without him knowing.
The village citizens finally made a plan of what to do. They were going to bring pointy sharp rakes, fire torches, a rope, sharp sticks, and more. The citizens were planning to do it when it would be dark, cloudy and rainy night because the citizens thought that's when the devil would want the sacrifice, so the devil could leave them alone.
One night when it was cloudy, rainy, and full of darkness, the villagers made sure that they had everything they needed to succeed the mission they were on. One by one they got the stuff and headed out to Rin and Eves cottage. Alice had no idea what they were planning either and would have never imagined what the villagers were about to do.
Around twenty-seven minutes later they made their way to Rin and Eves cottage, and one of the citizens knocked on the door, waiting for one of them to open the door for them.
Rin and Eve were inside playing with their babies as they heard the door knock, Rin eyebrow raised and Eve looked at Rin. Rin then looked at Eve “i'll get it, stay here with the kids” said Rin his voice cautious as he got up and went to the door. Rin could hear people screaming and yelling outside the door which made Rin even more cautious to open the door.
When Rin opened the door, everyone fell silent, they were all looking at him and he was looking at them with a puzzled look but soon it darkened. “W-We came here for Eve and the babies” One citizen said trying to sound confident but failed miserably because of the look Rin was giving them.
“And why would I let you see them?” said Rin
“Because if you dont we will have to get them ourselves” Another citizen said before all the citizens rush past Rin to get to his wife Eve and his kids.
Chapter 6
The confession
While all this was happening, Alice the midwife was in the woods trying to find some herbs when she heard some screaming and yelling. Alice the midwife ran to see what the commotion was about and that's when she saw Eve, Rin and the 2 twins get dragged outside by some citizens. Alice the midwife's face went pale and her jaw fell open, she started to run even faster towards the cottage as her blood ran cold. And the twins got a bit scratched up but they were fine.
Eve had a cut on her forehead and blood dripping down down her forehead, Rin had 3 cuts one on his arm, cheek, and wrist and they were pretty deep, The 2 twins were crying, Alice guilt was growing stronger and she knew if she didnt do something soon, something she would never want to happen would happen right in front of her eyes.
Alice then yelled trying to get the villagers attention “Wait! Wait, listen to me please!” Cried Alice but no one could hear her with how much commotion there was “Please listen to me! I have a confession! Please!” Alice yelled before running in front of everyone with her hands up trying to get their attention.
Everyone stopped what they were doing but you still could hear the baby faint crying and coos. Alice took a deep breath before speaking the truth “When Eve was giving birth to her kids….I accidentally killed the last one by feeding it and giving it too many herbs, the devil has nothing to do with it.” Alice then looks at Rin and Eve before speaking again “I'm sorry I lied to people about you, I was in the wrong and I want to apologize and hope for your forgiveness.” Alice said as she looked down in shame.
Everyone's eyes widened, Eve covered her mouth with a gasp and Rin gaze darkens, everyone was flabbergasted, they couldn't believe what they were hearing, Alice the midwife lied, everyone never thought Alice the midwife could lie, yes she could be mean but lie was something else.
They released Rin, Eve and the twins, they all hug each other as Rin holds one baby and Eve holds the other, Alice felt so much guilt and regret for even lying about them and them almost dying.
Alice got a punishment for lying and gossiping which was public humiliation, Alice also lost her job so now her husband has to take care of Alice and their 4 kids. Alice Public humiliation was people would throw rotten old moldy food at her, and after that she has to wear the Scold Bridle for 3 weeks straight.
As for Rin, Eve and the twins, they lived happily ever after, every weekend they would go to the lake and have a small picnic with each other, or they would go play hide and seek in the woods until it was dark then they would go back inside.
In an inn a nice smart man named Vector thinks about his peaceful life before crime for money so he can live. He used to help kids with whatever he could but he must do it now he hides, approached by a man in a cloak he says.
“I need you to kill the king”
He is taken aback but he needs money so he does it anyways. He passed many bakeries in order to get to the castle since. He is fast so he gets there quicker than any land animal.
But he needs to try to find out where the king. Could be located so as he gets to the window. He sees a knight pass and he thinks he is a knight called sir Bob. a very famous knight and son to the king named Gru he manages. To get into the castle and runs around. The castle firing many arrows at many. Guards then he runs into Sir Bob and they engage. In combat melee since he ran out of arrows but Vector loses and must run away, hurt he runs.
Into the woods wait,s a day to help heal makes. bandages himself make more arrows than heads. back after a lot of running he finds a different entrance. and makes it to the king and tries to shoot Gru but he misses as Vector.tries to reload Gru shouts.
“Intruder get him he tried to kill me”
Then Vector runs as more guards than he can count. Run right at him but he did not see Sir Bob. He runs to a window and jumps out and grabs a window sill on a lower level. To slow his descent since a fall from there would kill him. Since he was at the top of the castle he thinks it's weird since he did not see Sir Bob he runs into a bush not far from where he fell. He can hear as someone says.
“He missed !” he is surprised since Sir Bob is the one Vector can see the frustration since he is redder than a tomato he asks himself.
“Why would he be mad that someone missed and who is he talking about me no that was his dad after all but than who”
And then he reloads and shoots Sir Bob right in the arm so that the best knight is weaker. In hopes of killing Gru then his knights will need to be as weak as possible. He runs from bush to bush Vector knows he has more guards there than before due to his last attempt it will. Be even harder this time.
He watches as a lot of guards run through an open gate and like a hound they find Sir Bob quickly he is taken somewhere but.
Vector does not know where but he runs into the village since there is bound to be a search for who did it. Vector is glad by the fact he wears a mask during his tasks and runs as fast as he can. Not stopping to rest at all he makes it to the inn by morning and goes to rest for a bit. But the knights barge in to know about any suspicious activity.
He watches as one guy is taken to the town center to be executed after being found they. Think he is guilty he heads back to the inn to rest.But is suddenly told to hurry up by a hooded figure and that the deadline is coming. So he rushes to the woods.
Once there he makes arrows and drinks water and eats food then runs to the castle.
He makes it there and now knowing where the king is he climbs to the throne room but meets a knight and shoots him. He runs right past his body and straight into the hall around the corner. He does not know which way to go since it has a spit and can't remember .
He takes a left and finds the kings room sees Gru and shoots him this time it hits Gru aks
“Why” and falls flat like an anvil then he goes out the same way he came in and runs into the village never to be heard of again.
There once was a King named Arthur whose kingdom was split in half the other half belonged to a King named Bob who was the most unkind person in the whole kingdom; he was also Arthur's uncle. All he cared about was war, money and power. Arthur cared about the poor. He brought bread to his poor people in the small village twice a week, sometimes he would bring soup as well. He didn't care about money and power; he inspired his people unlike king Bob who made them scared of him if anyone made him mad well off with their head.
King Arthur always stood up for the people against King Bob when they make him mad he has saved a few here and there but sometimes he could not calm his uncle also known as king Bob not many knew that they were related but those who did never told a soul for if they did Bob would have them and the person they told killed secretively.
One day Bob took Arthur to a tavern and they started drinking and they got so drunk that Arthur challenged king Bob.
Arthur “I challenge you to fight me to the death for the other half of the kingdom”.
Bob said “I accept your challenge” the whole tavern went silent not even the tiny little mouse in the corner made a sound. But then everyone started cheering for Arthur then Bob snapped his fingers and one of his men grabbed an old man and slit his throat. The blood dripped all the way to the floor. Arthur's face was white “I must win,” he said to himself, still frozen in shock.
The next day he started training then someone burst into the room “your majesty it's your uncle he is sick the fight will happen three weeks after he has recovered”. A month later King Bob was fully recovered and Arthur was not ready for a fight but a war. He never stopped training even when King Bob was sick he spent hours every day outside training in the rain, in the sun no matter the weather. The people brought him food because he would not stop training even to eat . The baker visited Arthur the most while he was training. The baker was kind; he was the one who gave bread to Arthur to give to the people in the village. The soup for the people came from the castle cook; it was just leftovers from feasts and big parties.
When King Bob was finally well and healed he started training again because he only had one week till the fight he trained vigorously. He trained with swords and shields he trained with maces and spears. He knew that the people loved Arthur but he wanted to win so he had more power and more control over his people. He also enjoyed the thought of killing Arthur because he had to look out for him all this time because his parents died when he was only four years old. He practically raised him but he hated him because he hated his brother and his brother was Arthur’s dad.
The fight was in three days now and both men were ready for it. The days passed quickly and it was finally time, time for the fight that the people have waited a whole month for. There were two rooms attached to the arena filled with armor and weapons, all sorts of weapons: spears, swords, mace’s and other things you’ve probably never heard of. The men first put on their armor Arthur’s was made out of the normal material and Bob’s was made of gold which was a little weaker but ten times the price. Then they picked weapons Arthur picked his fathers sword and Bob picked a big heavy mace like weapon which is a chain with a spiked ball on the end of it.
Bob walked out to the arena first and the people were all booing at him. No one wanted him to win, they all hated him for what he has done to them over the years. Then all of a sudden the booing turned into cheering at the sight of Arthur who was pointing his sword at his uncle who was swinging around his mace. His eyes looked like a bull’s eyes. When a bull sees the color red he is furious Arthur could tell but before he could attack his uncle said something.
King Bob said “You are not of royal blood, your so-called mother the queen could not have a babe so they went down to the poor village and bought you off some girl so you see your not royal blood.” It threw Arthur off guard and Bob hit him with a massive blow “you don’t deserve to be king you deserve to be poor to be nothing”.
Arthur stood up and his uncle ran at him trying to hit him and Arthur stabbed him right in the chest. The blood dripped all the way to the floor. Arthur had a flashback of the old man in the tavern. He knew that he would be crowned king soon in an hour or two. He could not think of why he would kill someone to be king, especially a family member. Two hour’s passed and King Bob was buried. It was time for Arthur to be crowned king. He sat upon his throne and the crowd of people went on for miles, everyone cheering Arthur’s name. Then an old knight walked up to Arthur holding the crown. Arthur stood up from the throne and the old knight placed the crown upon his head.
The old knight said “you will need some knights to protect you” then a bunch of men walked in a straight line all the way to the throne. The first in line got down on one knee and Arthur bestowed him a knight by touching both shoulders with his sword; he did the same to the rest of the men in line. All the knights and people cheered his name. They were happy to have a kind king again.
The bitter cold beneath his bare feet;Florian walks along the path through the snowy forest, crying,his father’s words ringing in his ears even after hours “Thou mustn't come back till you have learned to work,”. Florian sniffles and continues walking till he feasted his eyes upon a market.The market was selling many things including warm food,overpriced trinkets and fake jewels,but best of all blankets,warm,floral smelling,quilts.Florian thought about cuddling up in a soft,thick blanket.Wiping his tears;he ran over to a stall,a wife and husband selling quilts yet florian had no silver,thinking fast and freezing faster he knew what he had to do.Steal it,quickly he acted when they weren't looking.
Meanwhile,two knights,Col and William, on horseback they trot into the market
“Thou still has no squire” William states loudly
“No I do not need one.I have kept myself presentable and saved countless lives.No squire needed. Why thou think my back is always hurting? From saving people in war.” Col says
William rolls his eyes as they look around through the market,Wooden stalls selling wool clothes for winter,food,and other goods. Col stops his horse in front of a blanket stall and sees a boy being scolded and screamed at.
“What seems to be the problem,” Col asks staring at the freezing boy
“Sir he be stealin a blanket,He got the devil in him” says the wife
Col nods needing to think fast,a boy so young shouldn't be stealing and definitely should not have his hands chopped off for it.Finally he gets a bright idea
“Well my squire was um just a bit cold he’s out of his head today,” Col lies getting down from his horse picking up the freezing boy and sitting him on the horse quickly getting on himself,he throws the woman a few silver coins and grabs the blanket as well.The woman nods and Col rides off with Florian meeting back in a field with William.
“Who that be,” William asks
“Whats the name of thee,” Col asks florian
“Florian,” Florian says a bit worried still no processing what is going on
“This is Florian,my squire,My names Col and that is William.” Col smiles
William sits in shock for a moment.Then they start to the manor.Florian covered in the quilt he holds onto Col.The quilt on Florians back keeping him warm makes him smile.The snow falls on this cold december evening,the frigid air making its way through Florian’s mouth.
“Where's your father?” Col asks Florian breaking the silence of snowflakes falling
“Home,” Florian says
“Why is thou not with him?” Col asks
“I am no longer welcome there,he says I must not come back till I learn to work” Florian says, holding back tears.
Col nods,looking ahead to the trail on the way to the manor,a tall stone building with wooden doors and in spring the front and sides of the building are filled with wildflowers.The horses hooves stomp against the dirt path while the sun sets.Soon they all make it to the manor,the three men get off of the horses.Then Col turns to Florian
“I'll show you where ye be sleeping tonight,” Col says
Florian nods, still a bit shaken about everything happening so fast.Florian and Col go inside while William takes the horses to the stables.
Col brings Florian to the sleeping quarters of the pages and other squires.Col hands him the soft he tried to steal from the market.Florian smiles looking down at the quilt in his hands
“Thank you,” Florian says smiling from Cols kindness
“You're welcome,” Col replies nodding
Col smiles and leaves the room.Florian lays down on an empty wooden cot in the corner,pulling the quilt over himself.Closing his eyes he thinks of the eventful day he's had slowly but surely he falls asleep thinking of Cols kindness.
Florian awoke with a list of chores from Col he started off with trying to clean the horse,he found her name is Lyra.Florian poured well water on Lyra and nodded thinking his job was done he continued with his other tasks like sharpening arrows for archery and poorly cleaning Col’s armor upon many others,he continued like this for weeks while Col did his knightly duties.
One scorching spring morning the birds chirping and the air clean,Col walked in on Florian pouring water on Lyra,Col shakes his head
“What are you doing” Col asks confused
“Taking care of the horse” Florian says
“Without soap? Where's the brush?” Col asks confused
“Soap?” Florian questions back
Col chuckles shaking his head,then he grabs a bar of soap from a wooden box in the corner of the stable,rubbing the soap on the horse while Florian watches
“Ye go get some water from the well” Col tells Florian
Florian nods,grabbing a bucket and heading to the well.When he comes back to the stable Col was laying on the ground groaning,Florian quickly went to go get any knight around.The men came rushing in the stable,picking up Col and bringing him into the manor.Later he was called in Col had a towel with water on his forehead laying in bed.
“He needs a doctor” William said
Florian nods,talking to William they came to a compromise that Florian didn't like very much but he knew he needed to help his mentor and friend but because there is no doctor in the village Florian had to ask the man that he despised so much, his father.
Florian sighed getting his horse ready for his journey to his former home.Before he knew it he was on his way.The birds sing as Florian’s horse trots along the path, Florian smiles though he remembers crying on the same path only 4 months ago.After a couple hours of travel he finds himself in front of the same door that was slammed in his face by his cold father,Florian stares at the door and takes a deep breathe then knocks on his father’s door. Florian's father Aldous opens the door and stares down at his son,tears start streaming down his face as he stares then he drops down hugging Florian.
“I missed you” Aldous cries
“I need your help” Florian says
Then Florian tells his father what has happened as Aldous listens.Aldous goes inside and grabs his medical bag with some additional herbs,getting on his horse Florian thanks him many times as they start their journey to the manor.
Aldous tells Florian a joke to break the repetitive sound of the horses hooves.Florian laughs,he knew he missed his fathers jokes but he forgot how much he loved them.
“Ya know I’m sorry” Aldous says sympathetically
“I know,Father” Florian says
Florian smiles happy that he got the apology he's been waiting for.The rest of the journey was sat in silence and thinking accept when on would point out and animal or two.The men finally made it to the manor seeing William waiting outside Florian stops his horse and runs up to his
“William I have brought a doctor” Florian exclaims loudly
“Hurry hurry we need you,my friend my not last the marrow” William says
William rushes Aldous inside while Florian takes the horses to the stables and feeds them.
Inside the manor Aldous was taking care of Col rubbing things like warm rose oil and bishops wort on his back,and letting the smell of burning sage in the fireplace calm his nerves. Finally after hours of waiting Florian’s father comes out of the manor.
“Is he alright?” florian asks
“Yes,he is alright but I recommend he takes it easy” Aldous says smiling,Florian hugs his father tightly thanking him many times
“Ya know I'd love for you to come home,you have proven how strong you are
and always have been” Aldous says
“I think I'd like to stay here” Florian says
Tears started streaming down Florian’s face as he was held by his father, the warm embrace of his dad making his heart melt,feeling like it’s been years since he's been held. After letting out all his emotions he smiles up at his dad.
“I’ll miss you” Florian says
“I'll miss you too,but I'll visit when I can” Aldous replied smiling warmly
Florian’s dad trotted away after he got his horse.Florian then went into the manor and went over to Col’s bedside,seeing Col sit up, smiling.
“Are you going back with your father” Col asks thoughtfully
“No,He shall visit soon though” Florian smiles
Col nods, happy that Florian made up with his father.They spend the rest of the day having fun and bonding as knight and squire but also friends.Later that night when Florian finally laid his head he didn't cry thinking about his father like before,he smiled.Finally Florian could relax after all this time.
The End.

One day, on a Tuesday morning, the king invited the small village to have a meal with him in the village of Turinshup . But little did the villagers know the king was planning something for them. And it wasn't a good plan either. The villagers start to walk and go ride on their horses over to the kingdom.
When they got to the kingdom the king started to welcome all them in the kingdom and sat them down at the large dining table. The cook was still cooking the roasted peacock when the villagers got there so they had to wait a bit and some of them were a little impatient and started yelling for the cook to hurry. After about 15 minutes the cook came out with the food.
The villagers thought it looked a little strange for such a fancy place. But some ignored it, some suspected it and wondered why? Since they are rich and the cook gets paid a lot and trained a lot so he shouldn't mess up the meal. Once everyone is done eating the meal except for a few of the villager little boys, Lucas and Marcus go outside and kick a crusty yellowish ,brownish old soccer ball around.
Until one of the boys miskicked and the soccer ball was flying past the other boy's face into the king's glass stained windows. The boys didnt know what to do. It was too loud in the dining room and the king didn't hear the glass shattering. The boys decided to do the right thing by going inside the kingdom and telling the king what they did. The king got furious and demanded and shouted that all the villagers get out and go back to their little village. So they did, back at the village the boys couldn't sleep knowing what they did was wrong thinking “Maybe we should've just kept eating our food instead of playing with a soccer ball,” the boy's friend agreed with him.
The next day after the villagers who ate the food the king poisoned went to sleep they had woken up dizzy. They think they have the flu or something so the boys tell them they should go see if they have it. Some of the villagers end up passing out from the nausea and some that didnt eat alot is not sure why they are getting sick. After a day many medical have been at the village trying to figure out what's wrong with them and why they're starting to drop like flies.
The villagers are panicking and are not sure what to do so they try to come up with ideas. Lucas came up with a great
plan and tell the rest of the villagers about it. The villagers who aren't sick and the 2 boys agreed to do it so over the next 3-4 days they spent planning it and finding out the kings
Sleep schedule to sneak in with the king's knight of course . They noticed the king goes to bed around 8-9 pm and wakes up around 5-6 am. The next day they waited all afternoon to do the plan. When the clock hits 6pm they start to head over to the castle. Now they just have to find a way in.
They get to the big doors of the castle and they pick the lock on the doors and try to open the door because it's a huge door. They go through the door and they get a bad feeling about this. It smells like an old basement would smell and they had an eerie feeling. But as they sneak down the hallways they see and hear a growling sound they look to the side to see what it was and they see the king's vicious dog. He was known for biting people and making them go into the medical field ever since he was a little puppy his name is randy.
Randy sees the villagers and the 2 boys and he almost starts to bark but the little boy Marcus goes over to Randy and gives him a treat out of the container above his cage. Randy calms down and the villagers and the 2 boys make their way upstairs. The floors are creaking and cracking. One of the villagers, Martha, said that she thought that “the castle would be way nice on the inside but it's really not” . It had broken floor tiles, the ceiling was falling apart and the paint on the wall was chipping off. As they make their way upstairs the knight named Billy helps out the villagers and 2 boys by leading them to the king's potion room. As they make their way in there they hear mouses squeaking but they ignore it and keep going up the long stairs up to his potion room.When they make it up there it's glowing with potions and lights.They search around to try and find the poison the king used on them. They look through the all the glass bottles some pouring out some fancy the villagers couldn't find anything so they were about to give up the plan and go back to the village then the marcus and lucas say they've found the one called “plague” the villagers were shocked with their faces as they have seen a ghost marcus and lucas were confusing and didn't know what it said nor what it meant or what it was. The villagers started panicking and didn't know what to do because they said there was no cure for the plague because of how dangerous it was to get.
The villagers take the poison and put it carefully in a plastic bag then head out the castle. The villagers and Marcus and Lucas start making it back to the castle in a storm. It's a long walk but they couldn't stay there any longer because who knows what would happen if the king saw them taking the poison especially if they were inside his castle.
They make it back to the village after 2 hours and go to rest for the rest of the night. In the morning they woke up early and went to go find the cure book. They make their way over to the little village house and when they walk in they see an old lady sitting there. They ignore her and go on looking for the book. The villagers and 2 boys find the book and take it to the village house they lived in. They start reading the book and figure out what to do and how to do it. In the morning they go over to the medical camp and see the sick villagers. They mix the ingredients together to make what almost seems impossible to cure the mysterious plague. They finish the cure up then put it in the sick villagers' food. The sick villagers eat the food and start to feel better again.
There was a little girl named Sidney but everyone called her Sid. Sid had a hard time at home because she didn't have a mom in the house and her dad was always gone working. But there was this little boy that she always hung out with and his name is Mike, Mike and her were best friends and grew up together. Sid became a midwife apprentice and Mike was a squire. They still tried to stay close but they were too busy with their training. Since they were busy all the time they stopped talking to each other. A few years later they met again and became more close than they were before. Sid started liking Mike and didn't know Mike felt the same so a few months went by and they got together. But what the midwife didn't know was that he already had a wife and had a kid with that wife.
So the midwife was pregnant but didn't want to tell Mike because she knew if she told him he would run back to his wife, so she had the baby a few months later. ”what am i gonna do if my wife finds out, how am i gonna be there for my wife's kid”, Mike thought to himself.
The Knight left the midwife and their kid so his wife wouldn't find out about them. The midwife and her baby lacy walked through the gloomy dark village to their cottage. Mike arrived home and his wife was questioning him about why he was gone so long, Mike got nervous and was stuttering. The wife ignored his stuttering and asked him to help her sew the baby blanket she has been working on for 5 months.A few years later Lacy was a teenager and her mom wanted to surprise her so when Lacy got home, Sid asked her if she wanted to be the midwife's apprentice so they would work together. Lacy happily agreed and they worked together for a few months until Sid asked Lacy if she wanted to take over for the day because she needed to get something from the market, Lacy agreed hesitantly. So Sid went to the store but she didn't realize it was Mike’s village, so she went into the store and was looking for stuff. When she turned around she saw Mike and her mind went blank when he came up to her and started talking to her, then she snapped ‘Why'd you leave me and your kid for some life you obviously didn't care about when you were with me!’
Mike was stunned and apologized a lot, but the midwife didn't care about what Mike had to say and bought her food and went home. A few people from Sid's village saw Mike and her and told Lacy that her mom and her dad were secretly meeting up. Lacy was enraged and when her mom got home she started screaming at her ‘Why did you never tell me about him, why have you never introduced me to my own dad!’
Sid looked at Lacy and tried to tell her she wasn't secretly meeting with her dad but Lacy interrupted and ran outside. She saw a girl about her age that looked lost, so she went up to her and asked her if she lost anything. The girl Alyce said she was looking for her sister. Lacy went to help her and took her back to the cottage to warm her up and feed her. The girl told her about her dad and lacy recognized what she was saying and realized that lacy was her lost sister. Lacy asked her a bunch of questions like how's dad like, what does dad do for work. Alyce said why ask me when you can ask him yourself, Lacy excitedly said yes to going to see her dad and so they went off to their dads village without sid knowing. Sid went outside to talk to Lacy but she wasn't there. Sid looked everywhere for Lacy but couldn't find her.
Lacy and Alyce arrived at her dads cottage and Alyce introduced Lacy to her mom
“Hi, my name is Abigail,”her mom said. After Alyce introduced lacy to her mom they went out to play. Before they ran outside she told them Mike would be back soon. Alyce showed Lacy around their big town. Lacy and Alyce were playing outside for a couple of hours and then they went home. Alyce saw her dad and jumped into his arms and she introduced lacy to her dad. Mike looked at his wife and at lacy and rushed lacy out of the house to talk to her. Mike furiously asked why she was here and if her mom sent her, Lacy scardley replied and told him that Alyce took her there because they found out they are sisters. Mike told Lacy he didn't want anything to do with her or her mom and that he had a perfect family and he doesn't want a mistake of a child to ruin that.
Lacy stared at Mike with tears rolling down her face and she ran away to go back to her mom, but she couldn't find the way back home so she found a place to stay for the night, it was a small abandoned cottage. And when morning came she went off to find her gloomy village again when she finally got there and saw her mom looking for her she ran to her and wept. Lacy told her mom everything that happened and her mom told her that after their fight she wanted to tell her what she didn't know about her dad, stuff that she didn't want to tell her because she knew it would ruin what Lacy thought of her dad.
Sid sat down next to Lacy and told her everything about her dad that she didn't know. Lacy was so upset that her dad was like that and apologized for yelling at her mom and so she and her mom went in for dinner. Later that night Lacy heard knocks at her window and saw it was Alyce. Lacy ran outside and hugged Alyce and asked her why she was here. Alyce told lacy that after she ran away that her mom and her dad fought for hours until her mom left and took alyce with her. Lacy apologized “If your mom came with you, where is she?” Lacy asked.
Alyce started sobbing and hugged lacy and told her that when her and her mom were walking across the woods she tripped on a root and hurt her foot pretty bad so alyce came to lacy. But lacy didn't understand why she would come here instead of the village doctor. Alyce told lacy that her mom didnt only hurt her foot but she also went into labor. Lacy’s eyes widened and went in to get her mom but forgot her mom went to go get something for them to eat. So lacy went outside and told alyce that her mom wasnt home so sid couldn't help.
Alyce looked up at lacy and said hesitantly “well you're a midwife right?”. Lacy was so nervous she blurted out “Yea i am”. Alyce was so happy and ran to give lacy a hug but while Alyce gave lacy a hug, lacy had a guilty look on her face, but asked alyce where her mom was. Alyce showed lacy the way to her mom.
Alyce’s mom was so happy to see lacy and apologized to lacy for mikes behavior. Lacy told her it was ok and told her to lay back. Lacy started rubbing Alyce's moms belly and singing, cooing to her. The baby wouldn't come out but that's all Lacy knew to do.
Alyce ran off and lacy was so surprised and thought that Alyce just left them. But Lacy sees Alyce come back with Lacy's mom. Lacy started crying to her mom and told her she did everything she knew. SId calmed down Lacy and told Alyce to go and take Lacy somewhere else with her. Alyce took Lacy near the river and Lacy washed her face. Alyce told Lacy everything was gonna be ok and comforted lacy.
Lacy and Alyce came back after a few hours and saw that the baby was there. Alyce ran to her mom and gave her a hug. Lacy looked over at Alyces mom and saw the baby and she was happy for Alyce but upset she couldn't help deliver that baby herself. Sid Looked at Lacy and came over to her “ You did a great job you just need more practice that's all”. Lacy looked up at her mom and down at Alyce’s mom and her baby and was proud she didn't feel upset anymore.
Lacy crouched down to Alyce and her mom and looked at her little sister, and asked what they were gonna name her. “We're gonna name her Grace,” Alyces mom said. “Wait your foot
we need to get you the village doctor!” Lacy exclaimed.
Sid Told lacy and alyce to stay with Abigail. ” I'll go find the doctor.” yelled sid. A few minutes later Sid came back with the doctor and the doctor took Abigail and the baby to the doctor. And after the doctor helped Abigail and her hurt foot they all went to Sid and Lacy's cottage and ate a hot meal and all lived as a family.
