Tragedy and pain

A year had passed and Mia ran through the forest with András. Soon they reached a very tall apple tree and grinned.

"Come on Mia lets climb up it".

"I don't know you did break your arm climbing up it last year".

"I was 9 now I am 10 I will not fall, come on your 7 now" he replied with a smile.

"Ok then" with that the pair started to climb.

Soon they were high in the tree and laughed as they did so it was some time later they the heard shouts. Looking down the pair grinned as the warden appeared and they grinned as a bucked of water fell on his head.

"You little I see you pair Eniko isn't going to be happy when she catches you".

"She will not find us if you don't tell we didn't mean it" replied András.

"I will not tell but be careful" with that he left.

For a while they stayed in the tree in peace then three boys appeared sons of the blacksmith.

"Hey little girl come down" they yelled.

"No I am a lady and will not do as you say".

Seeing them climb up she got onto the lower branches then screamed as she fell. Climbing down András landed next to her holding her hand and called out. Moments later their tutor Eniko appeared and took charge.

Taking Amelia in her arms she took her back to the castle with the four boys following. After she was patched up and the broken arm set, Istvan listened to the story.

"Well I know you did not mean for this to happen, accidents happen and I did the same thing. But these three will be punished for scaring my daughter".

Three weeks later the bone had mended and all the family were at the lake for a picnic. Sitting with her daughter Franciska read with her daughter the books front baring the same symbol as her necklace. Looking up they watched father and son fight soon both were laughing. By the end of the day all went home wet as they had been swimming.

A month later Amelia was out riding wither mother and some ladies all chatting happily together. Suddenly a horse am rider appeared out of nowhere with a band of men.

"Mia stay back" said her mother.

"Greetings Lady Franciska I have not seen you in some time" hissed the man.

"I no not who you are good Sir but if you may please allow myself and my ladies to pass" she replied.

"I cannot do that Lady you see you have something I want" the man replied pulling back his hood to ravel his face. His face, dark bands of red and black Celtic pattern with a long red scare over his face.

"No it cannot be my father he banished you" she said.

"HE DID but I have come back for at is mine".

"No you know the laws your mother I had no idea that she".

"Well I have to get you, attack" with that the men attacked.

"Mia run" screamed Franciska as Mia ran away only to be grabbed by the man. Biting him she ran and then stopped and saw her mother as a burning sword was plugged into her.
