Wow, this is my third story up on fanfiction on one day. Now that I have them all posted then I just have to update and not go through all the technical stuff. Anyways, this is just the prologue and the first chapter will be up somewhere in the following week. Hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I do not own King Arthur or the characters, but I own Emma, her brother, and her father.
Faded Roses in a Heart
Prologue
Forever Overlooked
A woman's screams could be heard from down the hall. The man standing in the empty space could be seen pacing and continuously looking at the door. As a few minutes pass, the screams stop completely and the man rushes towards the room.
When he opens the door, he sees his wife deathly still on the bed and a healer holding a small baby with reddish-orange hair barely showing. The healer walks up to him before he could take another step.
"Sir, I'm sorry to say, but your wife passed away during the birthing. Here's your new daughter," she said before handing him the baby girl. He looked at his wife then at the baby with disgust clearly shown on his face. A young boy walked into the room and over to the man.
"What are you going to name her father?" asked the boy looking at the young babe.
"We aren't going to name her. She took her mother's life so she doesn't deserve a name," the man said looking at his son.
"But sir, she must have a…," the maid was cut off by the fierce look on the father's face.
"It is final," he said before walking away leaving the baby in the maid's arms.
Looking at the girl the maid gave her a kiss on the forehead before replying in a voice unlike her own, "You will be saved from this life from knights around your fifteenth birthday."

Well there we go. Not much to say but I hope you enjoy it enough to let me know how you like it. I promise to put the next chapter up by tomorrow unless something comes up. I'm on vacation all next week and I hope to get updates on all my stories. Until then.
Love, Archer
