{Okay so this is a requested Tudors fan fiction by kvdsouza, thank you for the idea and I hope that this is what you were hoping for, I would like it if you could review since I was creating this for you J you don't have to but, it would be appreciated. Don't judge the first chapter I was just creating a setting for it, next chapter will be better. For those who haven't read my other fan fictions this is how it goes. My updates are based on how many reviews, favorites and follows the story gets. Reviews can be good or bad or can be messages if you are not comfortable to review or whatever your reason is it doesn't matter. As well in my bio I do keep an updated schedule and anything I am taking on, but realize that can be subject to change if the request for one story is higher than another. I also would like to mention that I'm not so good with the history end of it and I try and make it as real as possible but, I'm more or less following the way the show goes just adding my only bites and pieces into it so forgive me for my mistakes and if it really bothers you then let me know and I'll fix it. K so now that I got that out of the way I do not own the Tudors only my own characters and anything you do not recognize.}
I sat twiddling my hair between my fingers at the local renaissance fair as I listened to my boyfriend, James drag on about some crisis in his life that to me seemed so minor but, like every time before that he managed to make it seem huge. When we got together in high school we couldn't have been separated, like two peas in a pod, hell I even thought I loved him but, as we grew older I soon realized we were polar opposites. I am now a 23 year old woman and just finished my nursing degree and I love it but he only made it a year into his studies before he dropped out and blew all the effort and money his parents put into the university. Which at the moment was what he was currently complaining about and the only person who seemed to be paying attention was my best friend Misty, the thing that bothered me about that is that there rumors going around that they did more than talking, I never caught them so I didn't want to jump to that conclusion. This was supposed to be fun for me, I had been looking forward to this event for months, even bought my gown before the announcement came out.
I was wearing an olive green dress that had a square neckline and was embroidered all over. I braided my golden blonde hair starting from the right side to my left and knotted it once it fell over my left shoulder and left the rest loose with its natural waves and curls. I wore no makeup as it never really suited me and my deep sea blue eyes looked better without all that mess going on around them. I also wore my family's pendant between my breasts that bore my family crest, it was a blooming rose with the letter C resting in the center, my full name is Samantha Meredith Lynn Chaisty. My family was most famous in the Tudor era for their healing, gardening and their love of the arts, a lot of my family attended court for most of their lives by either being a medical healer, a source of entertainment or with taking care of the gardens. I have always fantasized what it would be like to be in that era and that's why I always loved these events, my mother use to tell me that I was born in the wrong era but, that was what made me special. Both my parents died in a terrible car crash almost two years ago, leaving me as the last living Chaisty, which also left me with James and Misty. The thing with James and Misty was they seemed to be stuck in the past, they always acted like we were still in high school with all the parties and late nights and don't get me wrong it was fun...sometimes but, I was growing up and taking life more seriously but they weren't. They were all I had left though beside my nursing so I choose to stick by them and ignore the rumors that surrounded our group. I was so stuck in my current thoughts that I hadn't realized that James had finished talking and that they were asking me something until Misty started to poke at my arm, "Hello earth to Sammy?" She taunted
I had to try hard not to narrow my eyes at the nickname they had come to call me over the years. I hated the name, I liked it when people addressed me with my full name and not abbreviated at all. "Sorry?" I asked innocently dropping my hands from my hair and resting them on my lap.
"We were just saying how we were hungry and thinking of going to one of the stands for food? Want to come?" James asked
I looked over to the assortment of food stalls surrounding the area we were in before I flicked my wrist and said, "No, just bring me back some water please."
They looked at each other before they wandered off to the stands. I watched them until they got lost in the crowd before I let my nervousness take over. I may not wish to confirm the rumors that surrounded them but, I couldn't help but let my thoughts get the better of me when they wandered off alone together. I never really liked the idea of finding another sort of company or at least not in that way. If you were not happy in the current situation then why be in it at all but the unfortunate thing is that it has been like that for centuries and it probably won't change. I was sitting for about twenty minutes before I started to get impatient and tap my fingernails roughly against the table I was sitting at. When I still couldn't see them in the crowd after five minutes I got up and started to look for them. I walked up and down the food stalls searching through all the lines for either of them and I was really starting to lose my temper. I stood in the center of the stalls with my hands on my hips, tapping my foot impatiently on the ground. "That was gross. At least go somewhere else if you're going to make out. It's a renaissance fair not a whore parade." A girl behind me whispered to her friend
My eyes trailed after the two girls and then went back to where they came from. It couldn't be...right? I had no reason to be thinking that way...right? But, what if it was...I needed to find out. I grabbed onto the necklace between my chest and slowly walked over there. I could hear light panting and some moaning as I got closer to the walkway. I stood just at the corner really debating if I wanted to go around it, if it was them was I prepared for that and if it wasn't them I definitely didn't want to walk into that. I was about to walk away when I heard, "Stop...we should get back she will be looking for us by now and we can finish this later." The sweet sugary voice giggled quietly
I would know that voice anywhere, I stood there shocked for a minute. My grip on my necklace started to get tighter the more I thought about how betrayed I had felt and before I knew it I had turned around the corner to see James pinning Misty by her hands to the wall. I was so angry I swear I was seeing red, James was the first to see me and he immediately let go of Misty and started to walk towards me. I balled my fist at my sides and gave him a look that told him not to come near me. "Sammy we didn't want you to find out like this I swear." It was Misty who spoke up first
I turned my glare to her and took one step towards her, pointing a finger at her. "First off stop calling me that, you make me sound like some sort of pet! And second you were not going to tell me and if you were real friends you would have told me before you started anything. I chose to give you the benefit of the doubt when everyone kept telling me the truth. You know what I hope you are happy together because you both just lost the best thing you ever had."
I was so furious that I slapped both of them before I took off running. The good thing about coming to these events every year was that you learned where the best quiet spots were. I had ran until I reached a little fountain that stood in the center of some hedges. I had found this place two years ago and since then I had come to this place to find peace and collect my thoughts. The fountain had a small step before the lip of the fountain so I picked up the bottom of the skirt, knelt on the step and splashed my face full of water. I then sat against the fountain and laid my head on my arms and stared at the rippling water. As I stared into the water I hadn't realized that I had been crying but, as I stared at my red puffy complexion in the water, I scrunched up my face.
I didn't understand why I was as upset as I was, I was really only denying what I already had known to be true. I always tried to see the better in everyone and as my mother always said no honorable man should have to seek the comfort of another woman if he truly loves her. When I was younger I use to think that the reason King Henry never stayed faithful to his wives wasn't only because the wife couldn't give him a son but, because they were all missing something they couldn't give the King with the exception of Jane Seymour, she was the only one who got the closest to him. I let my hand that was closest to the water move closer to it so that I could dip my finger into the cool water. I was now alone in my life all I had was my nursing. I found myself wishing I was born into the Tudor era once more, I would never be alone between family and the company of court one could never be alone. I shuffled my body closer to the water so that my chain fell from my arm and dangled from my neck and I started to move a circle in the water with my finger. Before long I felt my eyes grow heavy and I let them close.
My eyes fluttered open at someone calling my name but, it wasn't a voice I recognized and it seemed panicked. I looked around me to see that I was in the same place. I rubbed my eyes as I stood up and looked around for the person who was calling out for me. As I turned around and stepped down from the step of the fountain, I came face to face with a man dressed like the head medical doctor in the Tudor era. He stood in front of me completely out of breathe as he grabbed onto my upper arm tightly and shoved what looked to be an apron into my chest. I looked at him shocked and started to pull myself from his grip, "What do you think you're doing?" I shrieked
He tightened his grip almost immediately and kept pulling me away somewhere, "Have you not heard about our dear King! I took you on despite what everyone else said do not prove me wrong now when the King needs you the most!" He criticized me harshly
I looked at him weirdly, if this was for the fair, they are taking this pretty far. I let him pull me along trying not to trip over my dress as I looked around me confused. Once we stepped out of the area I was in, I noticed that all the tents, the poorly dressed people and the food stands were gone, instead I was being led through a chaos of people that were running about and crowding around a fairly large tent. Before I knew it I was stumbling into said large tent and I swear my eyes opened to the size of saucers at who I was looking at laying on the table. King Henry himself...
