Hi guys! It's been forever since I last wrote a fanfic. Sorry about that. School is just really hectic, and summer isn't any better! I've never written an OC fic before, so this is kind of a new experience for me.

So, I chose Klaus because I think he's really sweet and a gentleman. Also, he has a secret past that he doesn't like to talk about. Secret bad boys are always the best! XD I decided to make up a past for him that goes with the known information about him, but also gave him a little twist that I can't wait to show you guys!

I'll probably be doing regular uploads on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I don't know how many chapters this project will be, but I hope you guys enjoy it!

Chapter 1: Welcome to Oak Tree Town

It was another beautiful spring day in Oak Tree Town when the Guild Master, Veronica, heard a knock on the guild door. She already knew who she would see when she opened the door. It was the new farmer, Cassandra Knox. She was the applicant chosen out of dozens to take ownership of the old farm at the mountain summit, next to Madame Eda's. She had yellow gold eyes and dirty blonde hair, and she was wearing an old fashioned dress that had a navy top and beige skirt, with an apron. On her head was a red kerchief with an orange flower.

"Hello Cassandra," Veronica said with a welcoming smile, "My name is Veronica. I am the Guild Master here in Oak Tree Town. It is a pleasure to finally meet you.

"Hello, Ms. Veronica," She had a shy smile on her face, "It's nice to meet you too. And I prefer Cassie, if you don't mind."

"Not at all. Well then Cassie, it is about time we get going."

"Where are we going?"

"To the farm next to yours. You will be staying with a farmer named Madame Eda for about a week while we finish setting up your farm. While you're there, she will teach you everything you need to know about farming."

At this, Cassie let out a relieved sigh. She didn't know much about farming. The two women proceeded to walk towards the mountain. Veronica stopped walking when they reached a forested area.

"Do you mind if we took a detour, Cassie?"

"Not at all, Ms. Veronica."

Veronica led Cassie a bit farther north to a cobblestone bridge overlooking a beautiful river.

"Natural beauty is one of Oak Tree Town's most important features. All of its residents treasure it, and I hope you will too."

"It truly is beautiful. I will definitely treasure it!" After this, both women smiled and started back up the mountain. A little while later, Cassie stopped and took out an inhaler.

"Sorry, Ms. Veronica. I'm not really used to walking up steep slopes like this."

"It's alright, but why the inhaler? Surely the climb didn't leave you that out of breath?"

"I have lung problems. That's why I applied to work out here in the countryside. The city air was horrible for my health. Here, it's much better. The air tastes sweet, even." Cassie laughed.

"Are you sure you'll be able to farm with your condition? It is truly laborious work. I don't want you to endanger your health."

"I'll be fine. It's mostly air pollution that causes it. I really want to be a farmer here!"

"All right, but don't push yourself too hard. There is a clinic in the Guild Office if you ever need medical assistance.

"Thank you, Ms. Veronica. I'm fine now, should we head up the rest of the mountain?"

"Yes, we should."

Veronica and Cassie continued up the mountain until they reached a small house at the summit. Waiting by the entrance was a small old woman whom Cassie assumed was Madame Eda.

"Hello, Ms. Veronica, dear. Is this my new student?'

'Yes, Madame Eda. This is Cassie."

"It's nice to meet you Madame Eda," Cassie bowed to the old lady.

"Please dearie, call me Granny. Having you here is like having my grandson back for a visit," Cassie decided that she liked Granny Eda. She was very nice and reminded her of her old babysitter from when she was little, "Now, come in, it may be spring, but it's still a bit chilly out."

"You seem to be in good hands Cassie, so I'll be off. I still have more work that needs to be done."

"Alright! Thank you for bringing me here."

Cassie walked into Eda's home and instantly felt a sense of fatigue fall over her when she sat on her new bed. As she fell asleep, a single thought faded in her mind. She was gonna love it in Oak Tree Town.

Chapter 1 complete! I don't know about other writers, but the first chapter is always the hardest for me. I just don't know how to start a story. I'm pretty bad at dialogues, and this story is pretty much all dialogue lol. If you have any pointers for a new writer, please comment! Also, please Rate and Review! Thank you so much for reading my first chapter!
