She awoke to the sounds of birds singing. It was very nice, but she couldn't quite understand why she seemed to be lying on grass in the dark. Then she opened her eyes, and realized that it was, in fact, quite bright out, and that she was lying on grass. In the middle of a forest, actually. With a babbling brook, flowers, birds (of course), and someone sitting about a foot away, watching her.
"Wha- Where am I?" she asked groggily, sitting up a bit.
"You are awake!" said the someone who appeared to be male and carrying a sword. "I was afraid that you would be asleep forever. And that would have been a horrible thing."
"Do I know you?" She was beginning to wake up a bit more.
"Well, not really. But I've just rescued you! It was my first quest!"
She searched her memory, trying to recall this. "Rescued me from what, exactly?'
"Well, you were waiting alone on the road-" she did remember this "- and I was coming down the road, looking for an adventure, and I saw you, and then there was the scary looking man coming the other way, and you looked nervous, so I pushed you out of the way and challenged him. You must have fainted."
She thought that she had probably hit her head on a rock when he pushed her, but that was fairly minor compared to what she was about to do to this apprentice knight. "You idiot! That was my employer! How old are you, 15!? They shouldn't let you out of palace grounds by yourself!" She started taking deep breaths. "You challenged him? What did he do?" Why are you still alive?
"Well, he started to call up blue fire, so I pulled you onto my horse and, um, ran into the forest." The boy smiled sheepishly.
"Great. Well, at least he should realize it wasn't my fault." She got up and started walking away.
"Hey! Where are you going? I rescued you! You owe me something!"
"I'll give you some advice. Don't go rescuing random women. Make sure they want to be rescued first!" She continued walking.
"Will I be able to find you again?"
"No!"
"Well, if you want to find me, my name is Quentin... Sir Quentin!"

A/N: k, I have no idea when this will be updated, it has no plot yet (it may never have a plot), but hopefully something will happen in the story, or I'll become divinely inspired or something. However, I'm not going to have a lot of time for the next few weeks… Please review!
Ideas:
Girl- Felicia, shield painter (coats of arms)
Employer- evil- Marquis de Carabas!
Quentin- good kid, semi obsessive
Lover: the marquis's brother who was left with either the mill or the house, and is jealous?
Felicia is hired (and found by Q.) needs to get magical pwrs, is kidnapped by e. and rescued by Q. and lover but Q eventually finds someone else.
The marquis was evil, but the cat didn't realize it till later.
