A/N:Well hello my readers. This is truly the first chapter which I hope you will like. I did it in a rush so that I could update so uhmm...it's not really good (not like it would ever be) but I think it's okay. This takes place in a medieval, once upon time, like place. It has a slight modern spin in it though so bear with me! I will now stop with my big A/N and get on with the story. Please review and tell me what you think! Here goes nothing...*updated* Here is the new and somewhat better 1st chapter! It still has the same outline but a few things I've changed that didn't go too well. Hope you like it ^-^
Roselynne
It was early morning. The just rising sun and the large cumulus clouds promised a nearly perfect day. For some at least.
I woke up to a golden ray of the sun streaming down from my window and onto my face. I slowly opened my eyes, still unaccustomed to the sudden bright light of the morning. I blinked a few times in a row before getting off my bed and standing up.
'Another day' I sighed as I thought this. Don't get me wrong. My life wasn't bad in any way. I had a wonderful family and dog. We were peasants, but to me, it didn't matter what social or financial standing we were in. The only thing my life lacked was...excitement. I yearned for adventure. Whether big or small, I was up for it.
I yawned as I made my way toward my closet. I didn't have many dresses. Half because we couldn't afford it and half because I thought the ones I had were just fine and I didn't need new ones. I picked out a simple green dress and put it on. I looked over myself in the mirror and deemed myself acceptable so I smoothed out my skirt one more time and headed toward the door.
Everything was going the same way it always did. Me waking up, getting ready and then heading downstairs. But today was when everything would change. Today a new chapter in my story would start. Today I would go around a bend in the complicated road of life.
I was about to take another step when my knees buckled and I fell to the ground. My vision became fuzzy and unfocused. But that soon, slowly faded away into blackness.
It seem as if I was sent into another dimension. All I could see is a young woman's face. Her big, dark brown eyes stared at me from her petite face. They were filled with sadness, grief and fear. Her red hair framed her face and flowed down her shoulders. She looked so oddly familiar. But I had no understanding. It was like I was half asleep. Nothing made sense. All I wanted to do was reach out to the woman. But I was so cold, so numb. I closed my eyes I felt myself slipping into a bleak darkn-
"Roselynne? Roselynne, are you okay? Rose!" I was brought back to reality by my sister urgently shaking me. Her voice was, seemingly, close to hysterics.
"What? Marinna? What's going on?" I was confused. Confused of what just happened. What did just happen? One minute, everything's going as it always does and the next this happens.
"Oh thank goodness. You had me scared Rose," she said into my shoulder as she hugged me.
I was slowly coming back to reality when the face of the women flashed before my eyes again, I could almost feel the pain and suffering that I saw in her dark brown eyes.
"I-I'm sorry I scared you," I stuttered. I didn't know why I didn't want to tell her about my vision. Something in the back of my mind just told me not to.
"So what happened? Are you sick?" she questioned me, pulling back to look me straight in the eye.
"I'm...I'm fine Marinna..I don't really know what happened but I'm okay now," I was nervous. I had never lied to my sister and I felt guilty. But why was I lying? I had nothing to hide. Right?
"Well..Okay Rose but be careful," she was looking at me dead straight in the eye. I could see the hurt and concern in her clear blue ones and the doubt in her voice. She knew something was up.
"Look Marinna. I'll-...I'll tell you later alright?" I said before standing up. I hadn't even noticed that we were still sitting on the hard wooden floor of my room.
She stood up too and looked at me skeptically. I could tell she was hesitant but she eventually nodded.
I knew she trusted me but I still didn't know if I could trust myself.

The day went by relatively normal, subtracting the little...event in the morning. It was now evening. The sky was painted a brilliant array of colors, varying from a deep midnight blue to a bright cherry pink.
It would have been perfect if I didn't have the thought of telling my sister why exactly I was lying in the middle of the floor. Probably looking like I was unconscious. I honestly didn't know why I didn't want to tell her. It was just something in the back of my mind.
I finally decided that I would tell her. Even if it didn't seem right, she was my sister. I trusted her and she trusted me. I couldn't lie to her again. Even if it was a 'small' lie it could always spiral out of control.
"Rose?" I heard Marinna's voice behind me. I turned around from my window to face her. We were both in my room again.
"Look, I'm sorry about this morning. Sorry that I lied, I was just confu-" I was cut off.
"I know it's okay. Just don't...do it again," she said. I felt guilty again. Why had I lied to her in the first place again?
"Well I guess you want to hear what I have to say..." All she did was nod. The voice in the back of my head, seemingly, only got louder.
I relayed the whole situation to her. I looked at Marinna the whole time, wondering what her reaction was going to be. She only looked straight back, no emotion in her eyes, which was uncharacteristic about her. She was always the optimistic child. But the only thing from her expression that I could decipher was that she was...thinking?
"-and that's when you came in," I finished. Telling her had taken longer than I thought. I had gotten lost in describing my vision to her. It was kind of scary I have to say, it was as if I wasn't in control anymore.
I was now looking back out the window, my heart pounding in my chest I was sure even Marinna could hear it from across the room. Waiting for her to say something, even that I was crazy. I turned back to her and her expression confused me.
Her eyes were as wide as they could ever be, but not out of shock. No, not shock. It was something far different from that. No.
But realization.
