It's a somewhat normal day for me and my sister Mary at the Convent in the country side. We had woken up and started our chores. Then we had breakfast. After that we were allowed to do as we wish. So everyone including our lovely nuns that looked after us were outside kicking around a ball to amuse ourselves.
Its fun not having to worry about anything. Not having to worry that someone was after us or trying to kill us.
I wasn't like my sister who was more relaxed. I was always on edge. Whenever I heard horses or shouting I instantly thought someone was here to hurt my sister and I. Mary always tries to tell me we are safe but even I know we are not safe here. Just like when we were at French Court. You'd think we would be safe there considering all the guards but even then someone managed to slip past the guards and threaten Mary and I.
My name is Adelaide Stuart, Twin sister of Mary Stuart. Our parents are King James V and Marie De Guise. Unfortunately our father died leaving behind our mother and Brother James. Well he isn't our full brother. Just half. We share the same father but our mother's are different. In other words he is the Bastard child.
Anyway let's get back to where we were in the first place. Kicking a ball around the meadow.
"Mary I'm sitting down for a moment. I need to catch my breath" She gave a nod and carried on playing and I walked away picking up my dress so i didn't trip and I took a seat on the grass at a good distance away from the others so I didn't get hit by the ball.
I love seeing my sister so care free and without a worry in the world. Something some day is going to disturb that and we are both going to have to grow up. We are only 15 years old but in some people's eyes that is the age where you should be married or Atleast engaged.
I always wondered what my life would be like if Mary and I were not both Queen. Would we have a good life. Would we not have to run away and hide in hopes of not being dead. Would our life's be more simple.
"Your dreaming again child. A queen doesn't dream. She does good things" I looked up and saw one of the nuns. Sister Helen. She is the one that tastes our food to make sure its not poisoned. I looked up to her for guidance. I could trust her with anything.
"I was just thinking about Mary. What our life's would be like if we were not who we are. I just wish she was safe" She gave me a gentle smile and placed her hands out to help me stand. I took her hand and she pulled me up.
"Don't worry child. You are safe here. You have been for a long while. You have been here since you was 9 years old. Nothing has happened quite yet. Not let's have lunch and eat away our problems" I chuckled at her and I placed my hand in hers and we walked over to the table where we would be eating our Lunch.
Sister Helen went to sit with the other nuns and I took a seat across from Mary and sat next to a girl called Rose who was one of the orphans. Her parents had died when she was a baby. In a fire I think. I can't remember. She was like a sister. Much like the other girls at the Convent.
One of the Nuns placed my food in front of me Meaning it was safe to eat. I took notice that Mary was still waiting for her food and I looked at her and noticed she was staring towards the nuns. I followed her direction and felt my heart plummet. Sister Helen had blood coming out of her ears and nose. Then foam started coming out of her mouth. I heard a scream fill the air as Sister Helen dropped dead into the ball of food that was in front of her.
It wasn't till after that, That I realised it was me who had screamed. I felt myself shaking. Someone had picked me up from my seat on the bench and guided me away from the table. My eyes couldn't stop staring at Sister Helen. Why would she do it. Why her. I looked up to her.
