A/N: I see, I see...Well hello my pretties! :) I just noticed a few days ago that in Romeo and Juliet that there's a Rosaline! And in this story I have a Roselynne and a Romeo! For those of you that thought I knew, I didn't...I have never read Romeo and Juliet though I probably will eventually xP Complete coincidence really...Well go on reading the chapter before I kill you with my constant rambling! :O

Roselynne

I was walking among the busy streets of the market place when something caught my attention. A noble of obvious high ranking was making his way down the middle of the street, pushing anyone who was in his way. A thought came across my mind as he continued to walk with his nose stuck in the air. What was a noble doing in the East Side?

That thought quickly evaporated when I saw a little girl, right in the way of the rude noble. But that didn't stop him from just kicking her out of the way like a lost puppy.

Before I knew what I was doing, I was looking indignantly at the noble as I held the little girl's hand. I had no idea who she was and I had never seen her before but I couldn't let a noble get away with pushing down an innocent child. I felt her warm tears fall on my hand but I didn't care at the moment, right now my anger was flaring and when that happens you won't see the end of it.

"You can't just push down an innocent child you bastard!" I yelled at the noble. Not my best insult but it worked since I saw anger flare in those selfish, sewer water colored eyes of his and his face turned a bad shade of red. Red is definitely not his color.

"You do not talk that way to your betters and especially me," He snarled at me. Betters? Who does he think he is? Oh right, a stuck up selfish noble...

I was about to retort a not so nice comment when I saw the noble's hand raise to hit me. I cringed and closed my eyes, waiting for his big meaty hand to come crashing down on me. It took long enough for me to think how stupid I was and how bad I could get hurt. But instead of shooting pain running through my body, I felt something or some one move in front of me. If it was that little girl, I'd swear I'd...

Then I opened my eyes to see the back of some ones cloak. The person had his back to me so all I could do was assume. His head suddenly turned to face me, I could only see a quarter of his face but I was pretty sure it was a man.

"Go," I heard him say. I was about to protest but something in his eyes made me change my mind. I shook my head and refocused on the task ahead of me.

I looked down at the girl to make sure she was alright, "Come on...-" I trailed off, not knowing her name,"Let's go," I finished instead, my lips set into a line.

We took off down the street, at the girl's pace, her legs obviously shorter than mine. We didn't make it very far but far enough. I stood on my toes to see if I could find out what happened but stopped when I felt the little girl tugging on my dress.

"Who are you? Are you going to hurt me?" Her small voice said, her cheeks tear stained. I crouched down next to her so we could be eye to eye

"My name's Roselynne but you can call me Rose, and no, I'm not going to hurt you," I gave her a small smile but she didn't return it. Instead her dark blue eyes gazed into mine, one of them blocked by a strand of her blonde hair. But after a few seconds her face broke into a sudden smile.

"Rose...I like that name. Oh, I'm Adeline, you can call me Addy though but only in secret. Mother doesn't like me using nicknames, she says it's rude but I don't think so," she said the latter in a matter-of-fact way, which made me smile. I liked her even with the large age difference.

"Well it's nice to meet you Addy, but I think it's time to take you home. Do you know where you live?" I was nervous that she didn't when she didn't answer right away.

"Well...I remember that I crossed the river..." Wait...She crossed the river? That would mean...

"You mean that you live on the other side of town, the West Side," I emphasized.

"That's what Mother always says. That we live on the West Side not the East Side and that I should act like it," That's when I took into account what she was wearing. Beneath all that dirt she was wearing an elegant forest green gown embroidered with gold. Her hair, now come apart, was put into a long braid, a golden ribbon weaved in, highlighted against her pretty blonde hair. This girl was a lady. Or was going to be one.

"Well I guess we should get you back home..." I said hesitantly. What would the West Side be like? Would I be scorned for being a peasant or be falsely accused of kidnapping? I guess I won't know till I find out, I thought as my heart started to pound again.

I slowly stood up from my crouching position and looked around as Addy continued to talk about her family.

"This way," I said and lead us toward the, seemingly, large wooden bridge.

"-and one brother and one sister, I'm youngest. Do you have any brothers or sisters? Mine is horrific! They do so many mean things to me! Well sometimes at least.." She asked me.

"I have one younger brother and sister," I replied as we squeezed through the thick crowd, "Oh, and a dog," I added after a second.

"A dog? Mother would never let me have a dog. She always says they're dangerous and will eat us if they're hungry," I almost laughed imagining my dog even looking dangerous, I just smiled. Sure Thied looked like a wolf but he would be the sweetest dog you'd ever meet.

We finally arrived at the bridge after a nice deal of time.

"Look Rosie!" Addy said, turning around.

"What?" I was confused, what was she pointing at? I only saw a crowd of people before me. Then I saw him.

The man in the cloak.

A/N:Ohk, not my best chapter and very short but oh well :P...Ohk, I'm gonna give you some backround info on Rose over there ohk? I don't think I've told you enough about her.

She has a mom and dad, a younger brother and sister and a dog that looks like a wolf[black]. Her father's a blacksmith.

I think that's all I'll tell you for now, you'll get to know more in the upcoming chappies! :) Farewell for now!
