Hi, here's chapter one. Thank you for reviewing, and I hope I keep you interested in my story.
Chapter one: The Journey Home.
Mary is all grown up now at the age of fifteen. Eight years ago her father was left behind by a carriage that was ambushed while it was trying to get them to somewhere safer. Now she's coming back to Camelot with a need for revenge. She has also become a master sword fighter and makes a living by stealing.
"They're everywhere Will! I need someone to keep those thieves off my land, can I trust you?" Mark asks shaking with worry.
"Of course not, who do you think I am?" Will answers smiling
Mark pauses "... But you'll get it done?"
"For the right price." Will kept his smile
"Here." Mark hands over the money.
Mary had heard it all, seen the money exchange hands, smelt the satisfaction in the air. She is ready. Dressed in black and wearing a mask she attacks. Will takes a swing at her but she dodges it tripping him up in the process. Mark runs off terrified.
She picks the money of the floor and says, disguising her voice, "I think you'll find I'm the best you will ever find."
She runs off dodging trees. Will watches as she fades into the background.
She then ducks behind a tree. When it is safe she pulls off her mask and counts the money then puts it in her bag. She changes in to a baggy, ripped old dress, and starts travelling to Camelot.
After a long walk she sets up a camp and starts a fire. She sits down and pulls out a sword it is engraved with a dragon on the blade. Suddenly the sword flashes and the dragon stars moving. "We're close!?" She whispers excitedly. She wraps up the sword and lies down. She stares up at the sky and drifts off.
Her dream is where she's seven again and is with her father in a carriage. The sun is shinning and all they can hear is the tweeting of the birds. "Tell me the story again." she says turning to face him.
"Not now." He says. He's staring out of the window of the carriage as if he's waiting for something.
All of a sudden everything goes quiet. The carriage stops. There's a bang form the top of the carriage. Her dad gets out leaving the door open. Then someone jumps on top of him and he gives a blood curdling scream.
She jumps up eyes wide open, panting "It was just a dream it was just a dream." She repeats to herself. Mary stands up and puts out the fire. She packs up her bag and carries on walking to Camelot.
On her journey she stops by a little village. She walks into the market and starts looking at blades.
"What's a pretty little thing like you doing at my stall?" The seller asks leaning on a counter as he does.
"Well if you really want to know," She said leaning thinking of a suitable lie. "I'm here for my husband. He's out hunting and he asked me to buy him a new bow." She speaks with a smile on her face.
"Oh," he hesitates, "So what type of bow?"
"The best you've got." She says changing her smile to a sexy grin.
"Of course." He smiles back at her. He goes round the back and a bit later comes back with an assassins bow. She stares at it as if she is in love. Mary traces the curves with her eyes.
"So how much?" She asks looking back at him and returning her grin.
"One hundred gold pieces." He replies
"Cant you lower the price for me." She starts rubbing his chest.
He smiles "Okay for you 20 gold pieces"
she smiles, hands over the money tuck the bow and leaves.
That night she lit a fire and made arrows out of wood. She sharpened them all with her blade a put metal plates on the ends. And the last stage she put the feathers on the back end. After she'd finished making the arrows she stared practising her shooting. Her first shot was way off but after a while she'd got the hang of it. Deciding that would be enough for that night she sat down and started to think about dragons. She'd never met a dragon but Mary had a good imagination. She thought they were graceful and as the flew everyone underneath them would become happy. Their breath had the power to heal any illness. She put her head on the ground and stared to drift off into a wonderful sleep.
So that was chapter 1 hope you enjoyed it.
