Hidden Consequence
Her vision went black and she jumped. She had been dreaming about him again. As she raised her head she had a feeling that something was wrong. The room was dark and the only light came from her candlestick that sat on the worn old desk. All over the desk were letters from that boy, she didn't know his name but he had been very helpful that day at the market.
5 days earlier…
"Ugh, I can't believe they expect me to get all this" Adelyn said bending down to pick up the quill she had dropped.
She was in Goldenville a small town in the kingdom of Swynwick, ruled by his royal majesty King Henry. Currently she was in the market place which was filled with many different stalls and carts all filled with different goods from far and near. She had been there for about two hours and all she needed to do was get the fruit, as it spoils quickly and it would have been bad to take home rotten fruit to Lady Tremaine.
"Right so all I need now is some fruit" Adelyn said making her way through the huge crowd.
She was just about to join the line when the royal guard made their way through the mob. Many of the pheasants quickly got out of the way and Adelyn was knocked to the ground in the frenzy. She stood up and dusted herself off, she quickly gathered up her groceries and managed to get through the crowd.
"Hey Adelyn!" a voice called out from behind her
Turning around Adelyn dropped some of the items she had been balancing in her arms.
"Oh shoot" Adelyn said rushing over to pick them up
She didn't see the cart racing towards her and as she stood up she saw it. The horse had been spooked by something and now it was almost upon her. She screamed and dropped everything putting her hands above her head. Some hidden force pulled her to the side and she thought that the horse had struck her. But she realised that she felt no pain.
"I must be already dead" she thought opening her eyes. She saw the horse standing about 10 meters to her left and all around her were people rushing forward to see if she was ok. She looked down and saw a boy around her age lying there and she realised that she must have landed on top of him.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me" she said hastily standing up and stepping back. She hopped no one had seen her blushing because that would have just started rumours.
"Why are you saying sorry?" the boy asked. His voice was kind and gentle with a hint of concern in it. He was a little bit taller than she was and he had broad shoulders and muscular arms. He had messy brown hair and green eyes.
"He looks so handsome" she thought staring at him
"Oh uh, I don't know why" she said fiddling with the bottom of her apron.
"Well I hope you're ok" he said picking up her things and handing them to her
"Uh thank you" she muttered turning to walk away
"Wait, would you happen to have a name?" he asked her, "So next time we meet I know who you are"
"Oh my name is Adelyn" she replied
"Adelyn, that's a pretty name" the boy said "Well I'll see you around then"
"Um ok" she said hurrying off
