Ireland 1542. My home, I wandered through the clover fields that were my namesake as Mary-Anne told me, I had never known my parents but Mary-Anne made up for both of them in so many ways that I'd never been incredibly dissapointed that I never would know little velvet leaves of the clovers brushed against my grassy green gown as I looked towards the 'd be forgiven for thinking it was on fire at first glance, Autumn had swept her earthy cloak across the leaves of the trees revealing a glorious conflagration of crimson,gold,amber and the last gems of green were studded amongst them, but even that very moment an impatient Winter wind was slowly tugging them away from the trees letting them spin silently through the air for a while before tossing them to the ground with sudden gusts.I let myself collapse into the clover's soft embrace,I lifted my head slightly smiling up at the blue abyss above me.I looked up again and that's when I saw him for the first time.
I'll never forget, it was like total paralysis, a fiery jolt shot up through my spine and blurred everything around him making him so much more detailed than everything else,he was looking straight at me with an amused expression with eyes like frosty mountain tops, they held me in place yet made me want to be nearer to him because they just intrigued me so were more than just icy in colour; they were like ice driving through my soul and even then, before I knew what he was, I could see the immortality in them, the way they showed such grief,arrogance,spite,melancholy and pity. One colour showed such a rainbow of emotions it only added to the dizziness I felt just at how handsome he was, out of all the men I'd seen in my 17 years of life none had compared to his stance made him look so confident and strong I'd admired him and the way his dark hair swept across his forehead made me want to curl it around my fingers so I could take a better look at his masculine jawline that was dotted with stubble making him look even more rugged but I wanted him so badly to be mine just so I could feel like this forever...it's sad looking back on it how soon I'd find the irony in this thought.
The trance broke when I felt a cold little raindrop soak through my dark honey curls and into my scalp.I stood up quickly but the sheets of steel rain made quick work of my small,previously dry, form and I was drenched ;in the time I had been staring at the curious,beautiful stranger, dark thunderous clouds had rolled across my sweet blue sky. The freezing spikes of rain drenched me and when the knives of water began slicing their way down my forehead it blinded me too; I frantically wiped away the globlets of water in my eyes but he was gone, leaving behind the less textured backdrop of those Autumn trees I'd thought so beautiful earlier, none of the colours really smiled out at me anymore, it was just an eyesore without him.
I looked around one last time but now he wasnt there to distract me in physical form, I knew the sensible thing to do was to get back to the tavern where I lived and worked with Mary-Anne as soon as possible ;if I caught a fever she wouldn't have time to look after me and I wouldn't allow her to head was filled with thoughts of him as I raced back as fast as I could with my soaked skirts clinging to my legs, and mossy rocks barring my way. The tavern wasn't really that far away but when the wind whipped wet locks of my hair across my face and stinging torrents of rain weighed down my gown it felt a lot farther.
Suddenly, a hidden bramble reached out with his spiky fingers and snagged the hem of my soaked dress, I turned to tug away from it but I pulled too hard and lost my footing tumbling back over one of the larger through my choked breaths I struggled to keep my eyes open and get back up but I slipped in and out of conciousness untill I lost the battle and just blacked out.
