The Farmers Daughter

Chapter 1

There were two things on a young girl's mind nowadays: what am I going to wear and when am I going to get married? Sadly this ain't what's on Willow's mind, all she cares about nowadays is: where are my sister and are they ready or when am i going to get some help?

Grabbing her slightly brown-ish coat off the rack in the kitchen, Willow darts out the door before giving herself time to even put it on. Letting a small laugh escape her lips she wiggles like a worm as she weaves her right arm though the arm hold of the coat followed by the left, doing up one button while the rest stay untouched. Her boots splash in puddles as she continues to dart for the small hen-like hut "good morning lady's" she sings as she finally arrives, grabbing the drenched basket then opening the lid to see the egg's she collects every morning without fail. Reaching a hand inside she scoops up every egg in sight "thanks lady's, same time tomorrow yeah" she smiles at the hens clubs as a response, it was only then she let the lid slowly close with a small click.

Skipping over to the nearby barn she slides open the door to see Mary, their cow, who just so happens to be eating "morning Mary" she places the basket down on a nearby stool so Mary wont kick them over, opens the gate and enters Mary's little inside pen "looking amazing girl, maybe you need a little more food" she speaks like a mother to her child. Willow exits the same way she got in, making sure to close the gate behind her, her mother would kill her if she found out Mary went missing. Walking to a small ladder she climbs up to where they keep the hay, standing on the ladder she leans forward and grabs a small bit of hay which is tied together and throws it to the ground below before climbing back down to earth herself.

Grabbing the hay and undoing the tie she begins to put it in a corner for Mary to eat before making her way back over to the egg's witch should be a bit dry by now. Turning around she waves at the old cow "bye, see you later" she smiles as she leaves through the sliding doors, turning and closing them like they were once before, taking a breath she sprints back to the house as she laughs.

Willow loves the rain, it is calming but it could also cause so much trouble and damage at the same time. No one knows what they are going to get. Finally making it back to the house she quickly opens the door as water drips from the once dry coat as well as mud from her boots "WILLOW" a women's voice rings through the silent house startling the poor girl, whipping her head around only to find a tall slender women with slightly bouncy brown hair tied back into a bun, her hands resting on her hips "ah mother, i didn't expect you to be up this early" she smiles as she places the basket down on the small table, her mothers face turns even more mad "this is my house, i get up whatever time i please and must i remind you dear" she sighs before pointing a wooden spoon at her oldest child "you must take your dirty shoes and coat off at the door or else you're going to make the house dirty and unsafe" clear anger and annoyance in her voice.

Taking off her shoes and coat in a hurry before throwing her shoes outside for the time being while her coat dries on the hanger "yes i now ma but it is cold outside. I didn't want to get a cold especially since i have a test coming up" she explains, her mother sighs before turning back to the warm breakfast she is making everyone "whatever, you know how i feel about you going to school. You already have enough work to do here on the farm while i take care of you're father, not only that most men don't like women who have gone to school so it's hard for me to find you a husband" she whines like a child all the while Willow rolls her eyes "yes i know Ma but you know how i feel and this is what dad wanted, know if you will excuse me i have to go wake the twins" and with that she quickly leaves the kitchen.

Walking up the stairs she turns to her right, two doors lay before her. One at the end off the hallway was hers while the other resting nicely in the middle was none other than her younger twin sisters, skipping on over she grabs the handle and turns it before slowly pushing the door open, walking inside she sees maybe a foot hanging off the top bunk while it looks like a dead body is occupying the bottom bunk. Letting a small laugh escape her lips she kneels down and pulls the cover off the small child only to hear a growl of protest "now don't make me use my secret weapon" she threatens but nothing replies so she sighs as she raises her hands, both index fingers pointing to the sky as the others are scrunched together "you leave me no choice" and with that final warning she begins to tickle the smaller version of her until she was crying with laughter.

Waving her hands around to smack her older sister away she finally speaks through all the laughter "ok ok" she laughs as the fingers retreat "that's good, know wake up your sister, i'll be back in a few minutes to help you two get ready" and with that Willow stands before leaving the twins room, walking to her own and closing the door behind her. Letting out a long sigh her eyes darted to the fogged up window. A feeling washing over her 'something is going to change today' she thought, little did she know her gut feeling was right.
