SECOND CHANCES: Part 1 (The Encounter)

Author's Note: I don't own these characters…blah blah blah! Well this is about the characters from the Lioness series. This is their second life and the Gods had arranged them to finish what they had begun in their last life! It's cross between action and romance! All the characters have their original names so hopefully there wont be any confusion.

Jon is 19

Alanna is 16

Thom is also 16

George is 21

Gary is 19

Raoul is 19

Alanna sighed heavily as she struggled under the weight of the full buckets of water. A lock of her hair fell down into her eyes. Her purple eyes shining under the dull hat.

Their family was extremely poor and was laborers. The only person who didn't have to do all the hard work was Thom who was sent to the palace to be trained to be a knight. They didn't have any money to send Alanna to the convent so she stayed at home. Alanna didn't mind.

"Drat!" Alanna yelled as she stubbed her foot on a large stone.

"Watch your mouth Alanna," it was her grandmother, Maude.

"Grandmother! Nice surprise to see you up at this ungodly hour," Alanna smiled. It was a rare treat for her to see her grandmother. She had the gift and everybody thought that she was a witch.

"The townspeople tried to get me out of the town but I threatened them that I would haunt them with my magic," a tired smile sneaked it's way onto her face.

"Grandma, since you're here can you finish telling my fortune?" Alanna ran over to her. Alanna wasn't afraid of the gift and she had just recently found out that she had a bit of her own. Grandma Maude nodded and created a fire in front of them. Her face suddenly fell white in fear.

"What is it?" Alanna cried when she saw the distress on her grandmother's face.

"I see many things in your past. You were a hero. But you had a task to complete but failed to do it because of your death," Maude shook her head and continued.

"You were assigned to get sword of Mithros," Maude stopped.

"But I'm a girl. Girls can't do that. It's only allowed in that place called Tortall," Alanna protested.

"No but you were a knight of Tortall. You were the King's champion, the so called Lioness,"

"THE LIONESS! That's just a myth!" Alanna interrupted.

"Shush girl, let me continue. The Gods have given me this vision to say that you must continue what you have started in your past life. To complete your destiny,"

WELL WHAT DO YOU THINK? I KNOW IT'S REALLY SHORT BUT I PROMISE THAT THE NEXT ONE WILL BE HERE REALLY SOON! PLEASE WRITE A REVIEW!
