After watching Reign a couple of years back and rewatching it now, I have had the inspiration to write a fanfic, there aren't many OC/Bash fanfics out there but I had this idea and needed to get it out. I currently have one other writing in progress but I couldn't help myself. So here you go.
No one pov
Mary Queen of Scots travelled within the small carriage towards French court, she had not seen it since she was little, thinking of her time there drew her thoughts towards before she came to France, when she lived with her mother, younger sister Ara and her half brother James.
Thinking of her younger sister hurt, they had started life together, grown together, learnt together and played together up until Mary had to leave for France. Her departure brought on many tears and tantrums from her sister, she cried about how unfair it was that Mary had to leave her, but Mary remembered how Marie, her mother, had quietened her sister, aimlessly trying to tamper down Mary's own fear of leaving.
Since then Mary herself had grown, almost a woman ready to marry the Dauphin Francis for the sake of an alliance to protect her country, a country she hadn't seen in years yet she loves so much. She would see her ladies today, after such a long time she would see Greer, Lola, Kenna and Aylee. All of them hoping to find suitable husbands within their time at French court.
The carriage teetered along the bumpy King's road, carrying Mary evercloser to the court, the bright green trees blurred together as the carriage ambled along.

Meanwhile at French court, the courtyard was abuzz with life as servants rushed around preparing for the Scottish Queen's arrival. The French King sat waiting in the castle, his mistress Dianne de Poitiers sat beside him until the pounding of the drums announced the arrival of the Scottish Queen and her ladies.
The court arrived outside just as Queen Mary's carriage pulled into the courtyard and her ladies there alredy waiting for her, the carriage drew closer and halted, Mary emerged from within, immediately turning to see her ladies, her friends.
A steady gallop broke her concentration on greeting her ladies, they all turned spotting two lone riders heading towards them, "Who is that?" Kenna asks, her question directed at no one "I don't know" Mary answers for everyone.
The riders drew closer, one stopped yet the other came closer still, the rider seeming so familiar to Mary. The rider dismounted and walked towards them "Mary!" the rider cried as she sprinted the last few paces towards them. "Ara?" Mary aksed in reply, the rider nodded as she reached her sister, "Oh, Ara" Mary uttered in disbelief encasing her only sister in a desperate hug, "How are you here, I've missed you, you've grown so much" Mary rambles as Greer steps forward, "Mary, your hair! didn't the nuns teach you anything" she gathers Mary's hair in a vain attempt at fixing it, she then turns to Ara and scolds "Ara, what are you wearing, you look positively wild". Mary's ladies turn to note her attire, clad in breeches and a long tunic Ara doesn't seem like a princess at all.
The trumpets then blare, announcing the Kings presence, forgetting Ara's look they turn excitedly to see the king and Diane de Poitiers making their way forward.
"Is that Catherine?" Mary asks, "No they're still waiting on her" Kenna answers then continues "Thats Diane de Poitiers, the kings mistress". "So the rumors are true" Aylee murmurs, Lola turns to her and says "Unlike her you'll have no trouble finding husbands here" "Oh, we'll certainly enjoy the hunt, what about you?" Kenna says to Lola as Ara rolls her eyes.
Sebastian, the Kings bastard stides towards the King, uttering a few words then stepping back. The trumpets ring again this time the Queen steps forward stopping just in front of the King and Diane. Francis, Mary's betrothed walks forward on the grass to stand in font of Mary. They exchange words and Mary ramble yet again as her ladies try to stifle their laughter. Francis then leads Mary towards the rest of the host, her ladies and Ara following closely behind.
Okay, first chapter, how'd I do. I know the chapter seems short but the chapters will be short, I don't think I'm capable of writing long chapters as I feel I will end up waffling. This fic won't repeat everything in the TV show with Ara just added in, I hope to incorporate her and show how she changes things slightly. As for the looks of Ara I think a person who looks similar to Mary's actress, Adelaide Kane, has to be Samantha Boscarino.
