Girl Who Cried Knight[book 1]

page 1, dear diary

Dear diary,

  Today has been peaceful, so far,
The knights have been behaving,
(Strangely)
      Mother Mary and sister eve said that the king has ordered that there shall be no more fires in the village.
Iv been keeping myself busy with chores, playing with Pepper and helping sister meg with the guest

    Its been hard for them, especially when they just welcomed the newest family member,

                                The bab-

I gasped as I was pulled up from the ground by my arm,

" your not supposed to be here melody!" The man quietly hissed

"Well hello to you to hank"
I said sarcastically

Hank sighed annoyingly,
"You know your not supposed to be here, the Librarys only for the men"

I signed as I said " ya, ya, ya, 'the library shall only be used by the men' ordered by the king, blah,blah,blah"

"We're lucky that the king decided that every village should have a library for the men so they can study and be prepared to work for the king"
Hank said giving me a apologetic Look

But I wasn't going to give up there
" I know, but can't you let it slide?
    Just this one time? Please?"
I said as I gave him my puppy eyes.

Hank sighed,
" sorry kid, I hate to be the bad guy, but you know I can't"

I nodded in understanding, knowing There wasn't anything else I could do
               Still feeling sad though.

"Eve, Meg, Zoey!" I quietly screamed as  I walked into the house, letting my sisters know im home.

"Melady? Is that you?"
I heard my sister meg call out as she got closer to the front door.

" no its a serial killer waiting for you to come into the hall" I said in a deep voice,

"Hahaha I'm so scared"
Sister Meg said sarcastically knowing it was just me,

Meg came into the hall pulling me into a tight but nice hug,

"He-y" I said trying to breathe through the hug

" hey sis how was your day, I hope you didn't get into any trouble"
My sister said with a knowing look on her face.

     My sisters knew me all to well.

" well... I-I could've got caught for reading at the library" I stuttered, but before My sister could lecture me, I continued
" but thankfully hank was there to get me before any other knight could see me" I said perfectly knowing why I said "hank" like that.

    My sister meg had a little crush on hank since they were kids, but mother Mary would never allow a knight to Marry into the family,

   She hated the knights ever since they killed her late husband for defending one of knights that used the weapons for hunting.

" oh.. well thats nice...I guess " she said as she blushed and trying to sound like she doesn't care.

" hi darling! How was your day at school?" Mother Mary asked as she sticked her head out of the room she was in.

"It was alright" I said hesitantly, hoping she didn't hear in my voice

But even i can't hide stuff from her. "Did one of the teachers say something?"

I always had problems with my male teachers, I always fought with them about History, human rights or maybe when the king might be wrong, they never liked how I didn't fall in line like all the other students, but to bad.

" nothing really just same old same old"

"Oh... well go get ready, dress in somthing nice, your grandmother is coming for dinner"

A huge smile suddenly appeared on my face, I have always loved my grandmother, she had stories for days and I wish she could stay for more than a couple days but she always has to get back to her home, I never knew why.

I hummed as I ran to my room, singing as I put on a beautiful white and yellow dress, I put my hair into a ponytail with a yellow ribbon, and started to put on my white flats as pepper jumped on my bed.

Pepper was a beautiful black cat I found her when she was only three weeks old or at least how old I think she was, When I found her she was skinny and dirty, all the people in the village thought that she was a witch's pet cat, so they didn't want her, but i did, as soon as I laid my eyes on her I knew that she would forever be mine.

" hey Pepper" l purred
Ever since I got her as a kid I thought she would talk but it's no use she only meows.

Pepper purred then rolled over to show me her back, but I didn't have time to play or to be her personal massager, she growled as I stood from my bed and started walking out of my room.

_________________________________________

I impatiently Waited for my grandmother in the reading room,
after every visit grandma and I would sit and tell each other storys, well more like I would sing for her and she would tell me her Adventures, grandma always loved my voice, she would say I was blessed with it but also cursed.

I slammed my head up as I heard a door open,

" oh grandma are you ready for the singing, I made some new lyrics" I said expecting her to Chuckle at my enthusiastic mood

"I'm sorry hun but we're going to do something else tonight" her voice laced with exhaustion

When I looked up at her I saw she wasn't alone

Mother Mary trailing right behind her with a worried expression on her face

"Mother mary is there something wrong?" I asked hoping nothing is wrong,usually she doesn't disrupt our sessions together since she doesn't like hearing about her mothers crazy days.

" no darling nothings wrong we just need to check something, it won't even hurt"

I looked at her, confused, what did she mean by it "won't hurt"?

Before I could ask grandma Spoke

"Child sit on the Chase" grandma said in her loving mother voice.

I wasn't gonna lie I was scared, What wasn't going to hurt? Why aren't we doing the usual storytelling and singing? Is there something wrong with me? am i sick?

A million questions popped into my head and I didn't have an answer for any one of them.

All I could do was sit and sit still for my grandmother,

I jumped a little As I felt my grandmother behind me

Gently pressing my hair, she gently separated both halfs of my hair to each side, I could feel her fingers trace the back of my neck in a weird shape, a weird, depressing but Livefully feeling meets my body.

I've never felt anything like this before So Naturally I'm scared

"What's wrong grandma?" I asked scared

"Stop it mother your scaring her!" Mother Mary Hissed sounding scared herself

"Melady.." My grandmother whispered

"You have it" she quietly sobed
"I have what?" I asked once again only this time more scared than ever, I looked over at mother Mary hoping for some answers but She looks puzzled as well.

"YOU HAVE THE CURSED".
