Music: This Love by Maroon 5


James looked over at Emma and smiled. She had such joy in all the little things about the little marketplace. All the shops, the smells, the sights. It was like taking a little child to the candy store for the very first time. Emma found joy in everything, even something as simple as the fountain in the middle of the square.
"Oh, what's that?" She had asked pointing at the fountain.
"That's a fountain," he had replied smiling.
"It's so pretty with the water flowing and sparkling in the sun." James had never realized this before Emma had pointed this out. It was like she opened his eyes. He smiled as he thought about this and marveled at how different Emma was from the other women he had met, and namely Lady Elaine. She was the daughter of the neighboring king's brother, and by James marrying her would bring the two kingdoms together. James thought she was rather boring compared to Emma, but had little choice in who he could marry, especially since Emma might be a peasant. Though right now James thought he would marry Emma peasant or not.
They continued to walk around the square and Emma continued to be marveled at everything. Emma couldn't believe how she couldn't remember something like this. However when they came to a store that sold jewelery, she did remember something. In her mind a scene played out. She was with two men, one about her age, handsome, but in an evil way. The other older and kind looking. The younger one had his arm around her, which Emma didn't like, and was leading her to the rings. The scene faded, and Emma was as puzzled as ever. She couldn't remember who either man was, but she knew she didn't like the evil-looking one.
As the next days passed James showed Emma how to do all kinds of things as did Dana, and little by little Emma started to paste together part of her life, as well as fall in love with James. One big puzzle piece was put together two days before James' parents were due to return.
James and Emma were riding one day when he stopped his horse. Emma looked quizzically at him.
"What is it?" She asked.
"This is where I found you." Emma slide off her horse and walked over to the spot James indicated. She noticed some blood on one stone and knelt down by it, suddenly she was engulfed in a memory. Her dream only this time she realized it was real, and the dragon, was really the evil man from the store, and somehow he had the power to change into animals. Emma didn't know how or why or who he was and she didn't like that. She shivered at the thought.
James looked at Emma, wondering if it was a good idea to bring her here. He had been hoping she would remember something that would make her royalty. He couldn't imagine his life without Emma anymore. He know that his parents would never agree to it though unless she was at least a lady. They were loving parents, but old-fashioned.
"Are you ok?" He asked Emma.
"Yeah I'm fine, I just remembered what i was doing in the woods."
"What were you doing?"
"Running for my life," James wasn't sure how to take that statement. Was she an outlaw? No, not Emma, he could never see her doing something evil. She wasn't capable. Was she?
That night a letter came from his parents saying that King David, their enemy, had attacked when they were at his dad's brother's, John, castle, another one of David's enemies. However they defeated his soldiers and captured King David. They were bringing him back to the castle to decide what to do with him. James told Dana this in private, telling her not to tell Emma, he didn't want to upset her with news of war and death.
The next two days were a flurry of activity of preparing for the arrival of the King and Queen, and on the second day around dinnertime, trumpets sounded, announcing their arrival. James, Dana, Emma, and nearly all the servants in the castle were in the entrance hall awaiting their entrance. Emma was worried, what if they didn't like her, what if she made a fool of herself, but a reassuring look from James settled these worries. The door opened and the king and queen came in. The queen was pretty even though her hair was graying, the king was handsome with a head of silver hair. They both seemed kind which made Emma feel better. However when she saw the man that was gagged and bound being led in by a servant she felt they were the cruelest people in the world, for she recognized that man instantly as her own father. She gasped and called out.
"Father!" She rushed to him, but guards held her back. Her father looked out his face lit up at the sight of her. A muffled cry was all that was heard.
James' heart fell as he watched this, Emma might as well be a peasant if her father truly was King David, for they would surely never marry now. His parents were as shocked as he about this latest development.
"James?" His father said."Who is this girl?"
"This Emma, father, I found her wounded in the woods a week ago."
"Oh? Well it seems she is King David's daughter!" The King roared. "Guards release her, and take that gag of the man."
Emma rushed to her father's side and helped take off the gag.
"Father? Are you ok?"
"I am not that I've seen your face, my darling daughter. I heard from Prince Jacob. Are you ok? Did they hurt you? If they did, so help me..." Her father started to yell at the King, Queen, and James, but Emma was just remembering who Prince Jacob was. They were due to be married, for alliance purposes. Her parents said that she would grow to love him, consequently sent her to stay at his parents' castle with him to get to know him better and hopefully fall in love. That however had the opposite effect. Emma found out he was cruel and arrogant. He flirted with every girl servant his age. Sometimes even when he knew Emma was watching. Then it got worse, Emma saw him performing dark magic that gave him the ability to morph into any animal he chose. He saw her that night and knew she had seen him doing this, so she ran, but he morphed into a dragon and flew after her.
Emma came back to the present to her father and the king yelling.
"How dare you!" The King shouted drawing a sword. "This is the last straw David."
"No!!!" Ally jumped in front of her father.
"Move aside girl, or I'll kill you too."
"No!!!" James jumped in front of Emma. Emma's heart beat faster.
"Son, move out of the way."
"No Father, I will not allow you to harm one hair on Emma's head."
"Move, NOW!!" James' father shouted his face red with anger.
"Son, do as your father says," his mother begged.
"I'll die before I let you harm her." Those words made the King lower his sword.
"Will someone please tell me what is going on here," the king pleaded. Emma stepped forward.
"I believe I can clarify the situation your majesty. A while ago my parents arranged for me to marry Prince Jacob, though I did not love him. They then sent me to stay with him for a while, in the hopes we would fall in love. However there, I found out how cruel, arrogant, and evil he was. One night I saw him performing dark magic so he could take the form of any animal, he saw me and i ran. As i was running through the woods i slipped and hit my head. James, out riding Albert, spotted me and took me here where Dana cared for me. When I awoke I couldn't remember anything, not even my own name."
"Dana and I," James interjected. "Cared for her and helped her slowly regain her memory."
"That's not the story i heard," King David said. "Prince Jacob sent me a letter telling me that King Matthew and Prince James had kidnapped Emma from his castle one night. Then when i heard you were at King John's castle I attacked hoping to get Emma back."
"It was all a big misunderstanding," the Queen said.
"Yes, I'm sorry David, I don't know why I got so angry, this is the first time in nearly 20 years we've fought," the King apologized.
"It's alright Matthew."
"Guards untie him, let's go talk about this over a glass of wine, David."
"Sounds good to me," Emma's father replied. He kissed the top of Emma's head then followed the King and Queen out. Everyone else filed out until only Emma and James were left.
James couldn't be happier as this latest development strengthened the possibility of Emma and him getting married. If she loved him.
"So," he said breaking the silence. "You remember mostly everything now?"
"Mostly."
"So what are you going to do now?"
"Go home and try to piece the rest together, and stay as far away from Prince Jacob as i can get. What about you?"
"Beg my parents not to make me marry Lady Elaine."
"Oh? Why?"
"I realized I never loved her, plus I love someone else." Emma's face lit up though she tried to conceal it, James knew she loved him too. "I love you Emma."
Emma's joy overfilled as she rushed into James' arms. He kissed the top of her head when she heard her father's voice.
"Eh? Looks like we're going to be in-laws Matthew."
James' father laughed. "That we are David, that we are."
~And they got married and lived happily ever after the end~


Ahh i love happy endings, even if it took three posts to get to it, it was worth it right? Well tune in again for more stories (I feel like one of those radio hosts from the old days when they had stories on the radio {sorry if i offended anyone}) Later!

Fairy Tale part 2

This is part two, or the conclusion of the fairy tale from yesterday.
WARNING: DO NOT READ ON UNLESS YOU HAVE READ YESTERDAY'S POST

Song: The tide is high by Blondie




James stared at the woman that came in with Dana. He knew it was the woman from the woods, yet he could not believe it. Her hair now brushed and washed framed her face with brown curls. The blue dress she wore matched the light blue in her deep eyes. Her face had soft features and a winning smile, and aside from the bandage around her head, was one of the most beautiful faces James had ever seen. The woman sat down in the seat next to James, as Dana instructed her, and Dana sat on his other side. James. himself, was at the head of the table. The first course was brought in by the servants, chicken with potatoes. The woman's face lite up at the sight.
"Chicken and potatoes? That's my favorite."
"Well then," James said happy she remembered something."Have a generous helping."He piled some onto her plate, she dug in. "So," he continued. "You remembered you favorite foods, do you remember anything else?" The woman swallowed then spoke.
"Not really."
"Well let's see," Dana spoke. "She saw the chicken and remembered it was her favorite food. Maybe if we name off names she might remember her name."
"Sounds like a good idea," the woman said.
"Ok, um....Elaine, Ally, Sarah, Hannah, Samantha, Ashley?" Bryan listed.
"No, none of them sound familiar."
"You know what," Dana started. "You look like an Emma."
The woman nearly choked on the chicken she was chewing. She started coughing, James patted her back. She took a drink of water then spoke.
"That's my name. Emma."
Emma, James thought. What a pretty name.
Emma crawled into bed. Thinking about the day. She had met a prince, discovered chicken and potatoes,and found out her name. She had nothing to compare it to, but it was a very exciting day. Though she couldn't remember anything up until she met Dana. Speaking of Dana, she thought as Dana opened the door and peeked in.
"You ok, dear?"
"Yes, thanks Dana."
"Good night Emma," she said as she started to close the door.
"Dana?"
"Yes?" She said opening the door again.
"What happens to me now?"
"Well the prince wishes you to stay here until you can remember things again."
"Ok, goodnight Dana."
"Goodnight dear."Dana said closing the door as she left. Emma snuggled back under the covers and drifted into sleep.
Emma ran through the woods, a beast after her. She knew it was a dragon, yet it seemed more familiar than that. She thought, for some reason, it was someone she disliked, and feared. No matter who, or what it was, she kept running. The dragon was closing in, she could feel it's hot breath. She turned to look and fell. Emma awoke with a start, she felt as if what she had just dreamed about had happened before. There was a knock on her door and Dana's head popped in.
"Oh good you're up. Prince James is going into Town and wants to know if you want to go."
"Yes please," Emma threw the covers off and jumped out of bed. Maybe there would be more to awake memories.
Dana watched as the carriage left the castle. Hopefully this outing would bring new feelings between the two. Dana loved playing matchmaker, and this was no different. However if Emma wasn't a princess if they fell in love, their hearts would be broken. Though Lady Elaine wasn't a princess. At the mention of her name, Dana grimaced. She was not a good match for James at all. Now Emma, Dana could feel it in her heart that these two were meant for each other. It was the same feeling she had about the King and Queen when they met. It was her gift, she hadn't been wrong yet. She also had a feeling that Emma was a princess. She hoped this wasn't going to be the one time that she was wrong.

Well homework is calling me so part three will be tomorrow, or later tonight. Depends.

Fairy Tale

Music: You're beautiful by James Blunt



Well yesterday I promised a happy story, so here's my attempt at a fairy tale.

Princess Emma ran through the woods, leaves and branches broke and stuck to her flying brown hair. Mud slashed onto her skirt, but she kept running. She heard the dragon crashing behind her, as it flew through the trees. She glanced back behind her then slipped.
Prince James pulled back on his reins. His horse, Albert, reared back.
"Whoa, Albert." James slipped off his saddle and walked back to were he saw something in the woods off the path he was riding. He walked over and saw a beige dress with brown hair. He tapped, what he assumed was a woman's shoulder. "Miss?" She didn't respond and James assumed the worst. He turned her over. She was pretty, though she had a nasty cut on her forehead. James knew she needed medical help so he picked her up and put her on Albert. He then led Albert back to his palace.
Emma opened her eyes, and was immediately filled with questions. Where am I? What happened? Who am I? Suddenly an elderly, kind-looking woman appeared in front of her.
"Oh good you're up. I'm Ms. White but you can call me Dana."
"Hello Dana," Emma said. "Where am I?"
"You're in King Matthew's castle. Prince James found you in the woods."
Emma was puzzled, she couldn't remember it at all.
"Honey," Dana said, looking quizzically at Emma. "You look puzzled."
"I_I can't remember it at all."
"You don't? What do you remember?"
"Nothing," Ally replied.
Dana closed the door behind her. Poor dear, she thought. The bump on the girl's head must have caused more damage than they had thought. She couldn't even remember her name. Prince James came up.
"How is she?" He asked.
Dana sighed. "Not good James. She can't remember anything. Not even her name."
"Well, we'll help her get better, then we'll see if she remembers."
"Of course. Have you told your parents yet?"
"No, they haven't returned from their trip yet."
"Oh yes."
"Dana, you have helped me in my sicknesses, can you watch over this girl through hers?"
"Of course."
Dana would be more than happy to help the poor dear.
Emma looked at herself in the mirror, wondering who the heck she was. Whoever she was, Dana was right, she did look good in this dress. She followed Dana downstairs to the dining hall.
"It'll be just us, tonight. You, me, and Prince James. The King and Queen won't be back until two weeks from now."
"Oh. What is Prince James like?" Emma asked.
"He's very kind, smart, funny, and passionate. Lady Elaine is a very lucky woman."
"Lady Elaine?"
"She is the woman who he very well might marry."
"Oh."
They walked into the dining hall and Emma spotted Prince James. He was very handsome to say the least. Emma felt very jealous, all of a sudden, of Lady Elaine.


Ahh isn't that wonderful. The Conclusion, shall have to wait until tomorrow.

A horror/thriller story

Music: Phantom of the Opera



Well I found out that I'm not cut out for writing devotionals so I'm trying my hand at writing short stories. These are gonna be very short and probably gonna stink. Well this one is a horror/thriller/suspense one, though you all may not find it really interesting. Just a note, i came up with this story though the idea is really old.

A noise sounded above Jane's head. She looked up and could just barely make out the shapes of, she would guess, about four dozen black birds flying from the house that loomed in front of her. She was still watching the birds fly away when rain started to fall on her face. She turned back to the house. The shutters were falling off, and the trees were barren. It had an abandoned, creepy look to it, like something out of the horror movies. However her car had broke down a little ways up the road and her cell phone was dead. There is no other option, she told herself. Yet she wished she could try another house, but this was the first one she came to and she didn't want to chance it, so she started to walk towards the house.
She opened the iron gate that separated the sidewalk from the pathway to the house. It squeaked open then clanged shut behind her as if sealing her doom. Stop that, she scolded herself. You're freaked out enough as is. She walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. She was wet now and shivered slightly on the porch. She looked to her left and saw a rocking chair rocking slowly in the wind. She hugged herself and rang a second time. When no one came she knocked.
"Excuse me is anyone in there?" She shouted.
She knocked again, with still no response. Discouraged Jane turned away, but turned back when the door creaked open. She saw no one when it opened, the wind opened it she rationalized. Yet it didn't open when i knocked? Jane shook her head, getting rid of these thoughts, and though every instinct in her body forbade it, she went inside.
Jane examined her surrounds to the best of her abilities. It was dark in here, she could barely see the floor. What she could see was messy and dirty. It also smelled disgusting in here.
"Hello?" She yelled. "Is anyone here? My car broke down and i need to use a phone. Hello?"
She saw movement out of the corner of her eye.
"Hello?"
She could make out the outline of a man retreating into another room.
"Wait!"
She rushed after him and from what she could tell was now in the family room. She saw a big armchair in the middle of the room. She saw, what she thought was, the head of a man. She walked over to him.
"Hey, sorry about the intrusion, but can i use your phone?"
He didn't respond, perhaps he was deaf, she walked closer and gently shook his shoulder. He slumped over and Jane felt something sticky on her fingers. Suddenly the lights turned on and Jane saw red on her fingers. She saw the man, actually woman, had a blossom of blood coming from her head. Jane screamed.
A man loomed in front of her. He had and evil look on his face.
"So sorry you had to see that," he said.
Jane ran, she ran for the door. She ran for her life. The man grabbed her arm though before she could make it.
"No no you don't."
"Let me go! Let me go!"
The man just laughed evilly, and dragged her back to the family room. He threw her into another armchair and tied her to it. He took out a gun.
"Well you're about to die, any last words?"
"Please don't kill me."
"Sorry can't do that."

Well the end. Ok I'm kinda freaked now. I wrote this while watching Disturbia so now I'm really freaked out, man that is one creepy movie. Ok I think I'm gonna write a happier story now.

Don't fall into the trap

Well i had a really bad day today. I got a 74 on my Algebra 2 test, then i left my purse in the algebra room, and my mom was picking me up earlier so i had to quickly walk from building 4 to building 7 to building 1, then i almost lost my ring in the car. Then i found out, at the doctor's, i i didn't grow at all from last year.

Well today I'm enforcing yesterday's message. When i found I'm shorter and fatter than i would like to be, I cried. Having a bad day hadn't helped. My papa reminded me about my message yesterday and i felt like a hypocrite. I fell into the trap, that only looks matter. THEY DON'T!!!! Argh i hate it when i do that! Be happy the way you are, God made you that way, and don't you forget it! We all need to remember that, me included.

Vanity

Well I'm back. A little tired but I'm here. Wouldn't you know it the one day I can sleep in, first i can't fall asleep and stay asleep then when i wake up at 4:30 i can't get back to sleep because the rain is pinging off my a.c. However i eventually fall asleep but wake up at 8:30 and can't get back to sleep, but whatever.

Well time for the daily devotional, well i dunno if you would call it that. It's more like i pick a subject and talk about it and give verses from the bible about it, and i have no idea what to call it so I'm going to call it devotionals.

Today's topic is vanity. Vanity plays a huge part in life today. There's make-up ads everywhere, there's tons of different magazines dealing with fashion, and there is a constant pressure on women to look like the super skinny, perfectly pretty, celebrity women. It really doesn't help that most men(not all) when looking for only beauty in women. Not caring about what they really are like. As I said before not all men are like this, but as some are and the pressure is on, most women sometimes forget the old cliche. "It's what's on the inside that counts," and it really is. The bible says this in Proverbs 31:30

"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised."

So know this, beauty is fleeting, it will NOT last forever, however if you fear the LORD and do as he says, that will last forever.

I'm Blazing a new trail...

Well here it is my like 10th blog. I've never felt...comfortable in my other blogs, so with this blog I'm writing short stories, poems, and daily devotionals(hopefully). Since this is during the school year, if i can i will try to write every day, but I'm not making any promises.
