Chapter one: Back in time
It was a sunny day in Paris. Charlotte was walking on the banks of the Seine River, going to her fashion college. Several people took advantage of the sunny day, many boats passed by the river loaded with people and it was at that moment that in one of the boats, a boy trying to reach the water, fell and without knowing how to swim, drowned.
No one noticed what had happened, except for a few pedestrians beside the river, And it was Charlotte who, impulsively, dropped the purse with her college books on the floor of the walkway and jumped into the river. The boy was no longer strong and his boat was distant. The mother, when she realized it, started screaming for her son. One of the boats behind them tried to throw a buoy at the boy to save him. Charlotte in the meantime caught up eith the boy by putting him in the buoy. The boat people pulled him out and when they tried to rescue Charlotte, she felt herself drawn to the bottom of the river. And the feeling seemed to go deeper and deeper, the sun above the water, seemed to be covered by a moon, like an eclipse. And with the sun and the moon becoming one, Charlotte collapsed.
She could hear noises from the horses' hooves, and she felt a continuous balance. Trying to open her eyes, Charlotte was blinded by the strong light of the morning sun. She looked around and saw herself inside a carriage. She looked at her body and saw herself in a sixteenth-century dress and over it was a cloak. She could not believe the state she was in. She swore she was drowning a few minutes earlier. As she gazed out the window of the carriage, she saw that she was approaching a castle, wich she had sworn she had seen in one of her history books. She put her head inside and hoped to understand what kind of sky it was. That was what could be happening. She was drowning and died, coming to a stop in the sky. But she did not understand why the costume and transportation.
When the carriage stopped, the door was opened and it took a few seconds for her to leave. The image that guarded it was of a heap of people in front of the castle and all wearing old costumes. From afar they heard excited screams of girls, running past her and heading for na older girl than Charlotte. After a moment, one of the blonde girls, who seemed to be the youngest, turned her face toward Charlotte and with one of the most enlightening smiles ever seen, she called to meet them. When she got close, the girls separated to give the Stuart sisters the chance to meet. They looked the same in hair color and brown eyes, but in skin color, Mary was whiter than Charlotte. The older woman hugged her.
" I thought I'd never see you again" Mary said
Not knowing what to answer, the girls were embarassed by the silence. Greer tried to speak, but was interrupted by Mary.
" It's all right. After all, she was just a child when I left Scotland. It's been a long time that we don't see each other"
The girls turned to bow, when Francis came near them. For a moment Francis's gaze lingered on the youngest princess in Scotland before turning to speak to Mary. Trying to figure out what was going on, Charlotte asked the brunette, Kenna, what time it was.
" Sixteenth century, we are in the year 1559. Why do you ask?"
" For nothing. And who is this?" Charlotte replied
" Now the promised prince of France, to your sister, Francis. Are you alright?" Asked Kenna
Charlotte coul not answer, because when the facts hit her head, she fainted.
People I had to make some new changes about Charlotte being a baby when Mary left Scots, cause otherwise I would have a mismatch of dates, I hope you understand. Charlotte was a little child when Mary left. Any doubts let me know.
