***SPOILERS***
Ok, so this is my first story for Ranger's Apprentice. After I read the fourth book, I thought about Everlyn/Princess Cassandra. I thought about how much she cared for Will and that she actually liked Will until the fourth book where Will declines the request for the Royal Scouts. Horace and Evanlyn made me shiver a little bit. But the main thing is that I changed so much of the characters that it's not funny. I'm serious. I even had to draw them since they didn't really have pictures. I messed up so many times my recycle bin filled. So anyways, I placed Evanlyn in the Ranger's Crop. (don't ask me why) and had went through training through Halt (I'm not writing a story about … ok, maybe) and obtained the Bronze Oakleaf (she gets silver in the story). Most of the 6 – 8 books are spoiled.
Everlyn – 18, brown hair (I know its blonde. Stop bothering me!), dark blue Ranger's Clock, silver – green eyes
Silver – Everlyn horse
Will – 19, black hair, brown eyes (Picture: http:/ i ./_cb20101002122323/rangersapprentice/ i mages/d/d0/icon_)
(Note: You have to understand that this is just my opinions for couples. I'm really sorry if I'm the only Will/Everlyn shipper. If you are a Horace/Everlyn shipper
DON'T READ THIS! AND IF YOU DO DON'T START A WAR IN THE COMMENTS
And yes, I know Horace proposed to her.)
Will POV
Wow, I never knew a mission would be this tough. Gods, war in the country was surely back breaking. Well, at least it was good to be back. I saw Halt's cabin in the distance. I ran and got to it seven seconds flat. I could hear his voice in the training yard.
"Yes, aim for the target…Ready…Fire…Good shot"
An arrow hiss went thud against a target. I could tell it was a good shot.
"So Halt, when am I supposed to get the Silver Oakleaf"
That voice was so familiar. I went inside the cabin and went to the door. I opened it slightly and peered outside. Halt was standing directing his new apprentice. The apprentice was showing her back to me. Wait, that's weird. I never knew a female would apply to being a Ranger. She had a dark blue cloak and long, silky hair. But somehow, she seemed so familiar to me. She notched another arrow to her bow and shot. The arrow hit the target middle.
"Soon. After you do that quest I was talking about, your father will probably give it"
Father? Who was her father? Why can't I remember her? I was about to close the door when a forest wind hit the cabin. I door flung open and I flew back. Both Halt and the girl looked back. When I got to my senses I found Halt helping me up.
"Will, you return" he said happily. "How did the mission go?"
"Back breaking" I mumbled and rubbed me head.
The girl walked to me and I finally recognized her. Evanlyn! Or Princess Cassandra.
"Oh my god" she said shocked. "Will!"
She tackled me with a hug. Ouch. She became so strong now that she grew. I stood awkwardly as my friend was hugging me. Halt rolled his eyes and shook his head. I sighed and snaked my arms around her. No wonder I couldn't recognize her. Her hair was now brown not blonde, she grew so much, and the most surprising thing is that she was a Ranger. She finally got off me.
"Evanlyn" I said. "I never knew you were a Ranger"
"Oh…um, I didn't really want to be only a princess and stay in a castle all day" she insisted. "I asked my dad if I could go adventurous. So he appointed me as a Ranger with Halt"
"I didn't really mind" Halt cut in. "She had pretty much all the skills as a Ranger. She was also a quick learner. So after a couple of years, she became this. She is also getting the Silver Oakleaf soon"
I was really impressed. I never knew she could become a Ranger. I couldn't say anything. All of a sudden, she laughed.
"C'mon speechless" she said. "Let's go to the river"
I smiled. Halt nodded to me, giving permission to take her.
"I'll race you" I taunted.
The river was a really nice place downhill from Halt's cottage.I ran out the door. She started to come after me. Damn, she was fast. But I wasn't going to let her win. I sped up my run a little. Suddenly, I heard a flick and felt a sharp sting in my leg. I look down to see I got hit by a stone. It wasn't sharp, but it still hurt. I tumbled and fell next to the water on the lake. Evanlyn came right next to me with her sling shot.
"You're never going to beat me, Will" she said with a smile and helped me up.
*****OoOoOoOoOoOo*****
We were by the lake side with our feet in the water. I was lain back watching the clouds go by. We were both quiet until I finally broke the silence.
"How was the wedding with Horace?" I asked.
"Oh, um Will" she said. "I wasn't there when he purposed to me. My twin was on that mission"
"I never knew you had a twin"
"Neither did I. But I finally found out and asked her to go on the mission for me while I was training with Halt. So when Horace found out, he came after me. I explained it to him, but he never forgave me"
We had a long time long time of silence. I felt bad for Horace. I know that I was jealous of him for having Evanlyn but still. I remembered when Evanlyn saved me from the warmweed and when I took her back from getting kidnapped. I knew that Evanlyn had some feeling for me back then but now…
"So, who's your horse?" I asked.
"Oh, Halt gave me one when I started. It's with Halt. Its name is Silver."
"Cool. I hope to see it"
"Will, about my quest…"
"You want me to come?"
"I was going to ask if I can have some tips but sure"
I stood up and looked at her.
"If you really want me to come, tell Halt" I told her. "I'll always be there for you"
She smiled and stood up. We walked back to Halt's cottage together.
Ok, you might be saying WTF? But right now, I only read up to the fifth book. I don't really know what the others are about the others. This is just to give an idea for you guys. I know I spoiled the whole plot but I am who I am. -.- Anyways, good luck, come back, R & R, and all that stuff. Peace.
