Finding true love part one

A young dark-headed girl danced around in a field of daisies. Content she sat down and took in a deep breath, breathing in the pollen and whatever else floated around this time of year. An older, much more mature young women stepped out if a small cottage at the edge of the field. Slowly raking her eyes across, she took in a deep breath, and sighed. She looked to her right to gaze at the small, wooden, quickly thrown together chicken coop. Chickens of all sizes and colours littered the ground around the small shack, pecking and scratching the ground for food. In the distance she could here birds chirping. 

   Suddenly, an old dogs barking sounded as all the animals took to hiding. The birds beautiful melodies hitched as they flew towards safety. The sudden noise alarmed both girls as the dog seemed to grow more livid and viscous. The youngest of the sisters, Virginia, ran towards her older sister and guardian, carolynn. As the small girl ran, a small group of horses and a very formal wagon neared. The wind whipped around Virginia's hair and face as she ran. As she jumped into carolynns arms, the wagon stopped. All fell silent as the frightened girls stared helplessly at the mahogany carved wagon. It rocked a bit before the compartment door swung open, revealing a small lanky messager boy, who looked no older than 16. As the young lad held open the door, a knight in shining gray armor stepped out. His skin, was a dark brown and his black hair was cut and perfectly sculpted. Next walked out someone carolynn wished to never meet. Out stepped the very prince of normantro. Carolynn had heard rumors of prince cain's habits and attitude. He is said to never follow rules, which leads to punishment among servants and peasants. His father, is just as bad. Her father, was killed for king Ivan and prince cain's selfishness and deceit. Cain gave her a smirk. As the young prince moved away from the door, another knight came out. Clad in white armor, he stepped out and the sun hit his armor just right, making him glare in the light. He gave them a small, almost sad, smile. He stepped next to the prince and plastered a serious look across his light skin. Alas, the young messenger closed the door, assuring that there would be no more people to come. They all stared until prince Cain held up a hand at his men, telling them to stay put, while he strutted over, clearing his throat. In a sugar sweet voice he started, " hello darling. As you should know, I am the mighty prince Cain, destroyer of beasts and conquerer of enemies. " taking the oldest girls hand, he kissed it lightly. With her opposite hand, she slightly pushed virginia back behind her. " and you are? " he questioned, giving her a seductive look. " carolynn. What brings you here today your highness? " she asked, getting right to the point. Glancing past the male, still holding her hand, the knights smiled slightly. Cain yanked her arm, forcing her to crash into his less protective armor which consisted of chain mail and a few cast iron steel plates. She winced as he wrapped his arm tightly around her waist, getting dangerously close to her face. He gave her a wicked smile. " ready to meet your new home, my queen? " the world stopped as she froze. My queen? Was he - oh no, he was. " w-what? But? But what about Virginia? What about our home here? The animals? What's going to happen to them? " she demanded. " why, we'll throw the girl In the dungeon, kill the animals and burn down your house. Simple. " if looks could kill, he would've died right then and there. Tears pricked the blonde, almost white, headed girl. " I'm not leaving. And I don't accept. " she stated. Cain sighed at her resistance. " you don't have much of a choice, love. I've made my decision and that's final. You will be my wife. " " never. " she protested. Cain's smirk grew. " you have a week to change your mind. After that, we'll kill your little sister. " he cackled and and in one swift motion, turned. Walking past the guards and into the cart, he glanced back right before entering and sent her a wicked and evil smile after winking at her. The messanger boy followed after. The darker skinned knight smiled and nodded at them before entering. " I'm so sorry ma'lady. I know not what your feeling but I offer my deepest apologies. " the knight in white claimed. " I'm sir Nikolai, Tis was a pleasure meeting you. Even if it was on bad terms. I wish you luck on your decision. " he said, taking a bow and stepping in. The door slammed shut and the horses sped away. 

     Tears pricked the white-blonde girls eyes. Virginia sighed as her sister began to sob. Carolynn sunk to her feet, covering her face with her hands. The smaller girl rubbed carolynns back in comfort. " how-how could he ju-just do that! It's unfair! And cruel! " she cried out. 


        A while later, both girls went inside. It was almost dark and carolynn took to making dinner. As the broth bubbled and boiled, there was a knock at the door. Turning down the heat, the elder girl slowly walked into the living room. Sharing a terrified glance, carolynn slowly took hold of the door knob. Opening it just enough for her to see through, there stood a young, dirty man. He had long brown hair, dark, sun kissed skin, and mismatched eyes. She sighed in relief and opened the door wider. A serious look spread across her features as she spoke. " who are you? And what do you want? " she had had enough of knights and princes coming along for one day. " sh. Keep your voice down. " he spoke in an almost whisper. " may I come in? " she pondered for a moment, before nodding. Opening the door, the man slipped in, allowing her to shut it gently. " now. " she demanded. " who are you? " he stared at her. " i am Blake, a rogue knight. I left the kingdom, for I do not believe in the kings methods. " he said smoothly. Cocking an eyebrow, she walked back into the kitchen. Blake followed suit. " so what do you want? " she stated again. " to save you........ See, prince Cain has had many fiancés, but once they come to the castle, theyre not heard of until they are found dead. Cain and his father manage to put on a show in how sorrowful they are. The people believe them. For far to long I've watched and waited. I've sat back for to long! I will not let him hurt you. " he exclaimed. She jumped at his outburst. " then....... What do you suppose I do? Leave? I can't just leave this place! This house has been in our family for generations! If I leave he'll burn it down.... " She quietly ended. Blake sighed in understandment and consideration. After a moment of thought, filled with silence, a lightbulb went off inside Blake's head. A sly grin spreading across his face, " how about this. "
