Hi, so this is my first fanfic. I'm not usually a person who writes stories but I'm going to give it a go! Anything that you see needing to be corrected please tell me because I am always looking to improve!
Chapter 1
Will and Maddie were in the small clearing behind Will's cabin. Maddie was practicing changing between her bow and sling quickly with out any stumbles and still shoot with perfect accuracy. Will sat under the shade of a nearby tree, watching her with the cowl of his clock pulled low over his head. If a passer by had seen him, it could have been thought he was asleep, but Maddie knew better. He was actually watching her very closely. He would sometimes utter words of encouragement, or on an even rarer occasion: a complement. That always made her extremely happy.
As she finished her last set or arrow then sling then arrow, Will stood up.
"Well, I think that's enough practice for today." He said to Maddie's surprise. When you are a ranger's apprentice you always have to practice. It was strange for will to have let her finish this early. Maddie looked at the sky, and with a start she realised it was only 4:30, she wasn't supposed to finish practicing until 6:00.
She was about to quiz Will on this when he said, "Halt and Lady Pauline have invited us to dinner and a chat," he look her up and down with a disapproving frown on his face, "and I thought you would like some time to, ah, freshen up a little."
Maddie looked down at her sweat soaked clothes and dirt covered hands and face.
"Thanks Will," she said, "what time do I have to be ready by?"
"5:00 and don't be late, you know how Halt gets!" Will said doing his best not to sound to irritated.
Maddie smiled to herself as she walked to the little wash house, she would like to see Lady Pauline and Halt again. She enjoyed having dinner with them. Then, she started to worry about what the 'chat' was about. She didn't think she should be worried as she hadn't done anything wrong, well, that she knew of. She sighed to herself, you could never know with Ranger. Then smiles at the thought that she was now included in that category – a Ranger.
