hey guys so uh this chapter takes place after Henry is born and Dannie*Hannah*Henry and Lily *Zurina* are ten and friends so yea... here we go

Dannie*Hannah* Pov

I woke up on a Sunday I got into white button up shirt light brown skinny jeans a blue jean vest that had slight rips and brown combat boots I then grabbed my satchel I walked out and down to Granny's where my friends were already waiting. morning Dannie. hey. I said sounding tired we sat there and ate talking and then Marry-Margret came in. hello children. hey. Madam Mayor asked us to meet on the basket ball court at the school. we looked at each other with the same expressions we walked to the school and the Mayor walked on. hello children and teachers, I have come today because I have noticed that we don't have P.E and I know we need it... any ideas? every looked at each other. Fencing. I said just randomly out loud I didn't realized I had spoken out loud till I saw every one looking at me like I had three heads. say that again. I looked at the Mayor. Fencing. why fencing? I don't know I just. I shrugged. Can you fence? I looked at her. I don't know. I said Gold came walking up. did you bring the things I asked for? yes I did. she tossed me a sword I looked at her weird. if you can keep up with me I will fund it and I will find a teacher for this class. it was thankfully the fencing swords with the rubber tip any way we started fighting I was doing very well I had never touched a sword in my life any way I jumped when she went to hit my legs and ducked when she went to hit my head(don't worry it wouldn't have hurt her too bad) I rolled and poked her in the back she turned and gave me a look Henry ran up. you've never touched a sword in you life. he stated. true. where did you learn that?!? I don't know.

(FLASH BACK HANNAH POV 8 YEARS OLD)

I stood on the deck of the boat I was waiting for father to come back with a sword fit for me thankfully after ten minutes of waiting he came back. now Hannah when in a fight you have to trust yourself and that your skills will get you through the fight. he said holding a sword. this one is yours. I looked at it as if I as scared to touch it. go ahead take it look at it see how it feels. I took it from him and removed it from the scabbard it was perfect it was just a normal sword plus I didn't know the type any way dad showed me how to fasten the scabbard to me correctly. we'll take this slow, now draw your sword. he said drawing his own I did and almost dropped it I was a little nerves my hands were shaking last time he said we were going to take something slow he was teaching me how to swim which ended in my legs getting cramps. I promise we'll take it slow. he said smirking we put our blades together. now anytime you do something wrong I'll let you know. I nodded we started fighting our blades hitting together he then moved his blade and quickly gave me a swat on the leg with it. bend your knees just a hair, there you go. we kept going he then gave me a quick swat on the side. stand up straight if you slouch it'll slow you down and the person your fighting will win. I nodded again after a while I started getting it and actually beat him in a fight. now remember after you learn something like this you won't forget it, it becomes muscle memory. I nodded. thank you father. I said I put the sword back in its scabbard and walked to my cabin.

(SKIP BACK TO THE PRESENT)

I stood on the court everyone looked at me confused. maybe I'm just a natural. Henry shrugged. madam mayor where did you learn how to fence? I asked trying to get the attention off of me. when I was a child my mother made me. she said. but where did you learn? I uh Lily and I pretended to be pirates when we became close friends and would sword fight with tree branches. but it wasn't actually sword fighting Dannie... and even then you kicked my butt. she said looking at me like I had just slapped her with an eel. madam mayor looked more scared and worried then shocked I just thought she just was so shocked that it worried her. I once read a book about swords. I know the book your talking about. Marry-Margret said. and I read it. she continued. but it never told you how to fight. she said her breath becoming rapid with worry as madam mayor looked at her. she's a freak nerd who reads way too much about knights dragons and so on. some red head kids said. the books I read are about Camelot and other things but its not all about fairy tales. I said quiet and shy but my words came out sharp and full of venom. it doesn't matter what you read I just want to know how you learned to do that. the Mayor said. I really don't know. I said looking down it was confusing that much was true but who knew how or when I learned how to Fence.
