My mother died after giving birth to me. Father always treated me like a queen and told me how much everyone back home used to love her. He told me about how she even attracted the kings attention but refused his proposal. She was kind gentle an elegant woman indeed. So my father trained me well. Unlike my mother I was a fighter and my really long hair was a rare bright fiery red. My mother's was short and brown. I loved it. My father always tried to make me cover it. He moved me back home he made the old house into a flower herbs and clothing shop for me to run and made the back a blacksmith for him. But I knew how to run it if he's out.

"Wake up sleeping beauty time to go pick out some herbs." I grabbed my basket and ran out the door. It was the first time I was around a lot of people I grew up on a farm so you didn't see to many people. Since we still owned cattle we lived on the edge of the village. I jumped on my horses back and trotted into the woods. My horse was pure white. I tied my horse up a tree and picked herbs. I was leaning down when a man out with his bow and arrow hand leading his horse. When mine grunted stumping her hove to the ground catching his attention. He was about to take off till he see the design of the straps on my horse he walked over petting her. When I noticed he had apples in his bag.

"I'd watch she loves apples." I said, getting up and startling him. He spun around putting his hand on his sword. I put my hands up in the air. His expression softened when he seen me and he let go of his sword. I put down my hands putting the herbs in my bag.

"Ma lady you shouldn't be sneaking up on a man like that." He replied, I pointed at his bag.

"I was only warning you?" I assured him with a smile. As she stuck her head under his arm trying to reach the apples. He chuckled giving her a couple she loved it.

"You know you aren't going to be able to get rid of her." I laughed he smiled sitting down on a log motioning to sit by him. So I took my horse over by him.

"Want to help me build a fire?" He asked, I nodded, I grabbed my hatchet from my bag and started cutting wood.

"Darlin I can do that." He insisted.

"So what do you want me to do?" I asked, giving the hatchet to him.

"You can find food if you want." He said, I nodded and walked off. I pulled my knife out and caught a couple of rabbits with my bare hands. I killed them quick and painless and cut off their meat and took it back. He was sitting starting the fire when I put the meat on.

"That was quick how did you do that your the first woman I've met that knows how to hunt." He said, looking up at me.

"I have many talents a lot of woman don't. I can hunt, blacksmith, and I can even fight. I was raised by my father. My mother died after giving birth to me. So he's the only family I have left." I exclaimed, he put his arm over my shoulder pulling me close to him.

"I understand you don't have to talk about it?" He replied, kissing my head.

"Its fine. No one at fault her body was weak. That's why he made me strong." I replied.

"Well your looks are quiet deceiving your graceful and beautiful. But you have the strength and animal like instincts like a tiger." He exclaimed, could he be anymore wrong. I thought to myself giggling. We ate the meat when it was done.

Then we laid on the log looking up at the tall trees.

"So beautiful." I whispered​, when a small light blue orb showed up. When I realized it was sky my mother had a fairy that served her over the years that was Sky. Now she serves me.

"Rose your father's going to be mad your supposed to be home helping him." She said, startling him.

"Eww who's the cutie." She said, flying up in his face.

"Sky cut it out." I said, grabbing her.

"Hey let me walk you home?" He asked, I nodded, we jumped on our horses and trotted off. We walked home as we talked he kissed my head and said our goodbyes as when reached my house. I put my horse away and snuck in through the back door. I snuck up to my room. I laid down and fell asleep.
