I woke up, looked at my clock, it was 6:52 AM. I hear a very deep rough voice, it sounded mad or annoyed. I knew it wasn't my dad, and it definitely was not Garth, I mean unless one of them was badly sick or something.
I get up, In my PJ shorts and my off shoulder long sleeve, bed head and half asleep. outside I see man on a horse in bold gold armour, a big sword to his side and....guards? Am I trippin' or something?
IS THAT THE FREAKING KING?!?! It couldn't be
"Excuse me, may I borrow my father for just a minute? I need to talk to him in private" I say smiling yet trembling.
"Why of course. Make it quick girl!!" The man says...not so politely.
I take my dad where the man can't hear us.
"Dad! what the hell is fucking going on?!?!!? Am I tripping or is the the god damn king?!" I say as quietly as possible! Freaking out and trying to keep my cool.
"Hey, sweetheart don't worry, we're just having a friendly chat" He says.
"You and the king chatting? Haha oh yeah is that right, Cause you're totally king material, no offence" I say with a disbelieving and smartassy look on my face.
"Ok don't freak out....He said that he has to many blacksmiths in town...and he's kicking one out, he's went to all of the other blacksmiths and they offered him money, he's kicking the Blacksmith that offers the least money or that offers non, the lowest offer was 10.5k we haven't had that much money in our hands ever! he's also only giving us 5 weeks, I'm so sorry." he says with a face saying "yeah you're gonna flip out and I know it"
"NO! no, no, no, no!!!" I say as quietly as I possibly FRICKEN CAN.
)))♡(((
I go racing out and stop right in front of the king with so much anger I could easily punch him.
"YOU CAN NOT TAKE MY DADS JOB AWAY! HE AS A MATTER FACT IS THE BEST FREAKING BLACKSMITH IN THE WEST PROVINCE! IF YOU EVEN DARE....." I yell at him
"It's nice to meet you also. If your father does not have over 10,500 in 5 weeks, he is no longer a blacksmith. Have a nice day young lady" He says with an Evil smile.
"You're an evil person!" I shout at his face in furry and run to the blacksmith grab my best sword and go out to the training yard and beat the shit out of the dummies.
Garth follows, sits on a square bail of hay and watches me rage. I have been destroying the dummies for 15 minutes now. I collapse out of breath and start crying. Garth walks over and sits down beside me, puts his hand on my back
"Hey, Its ok. We'll figure something out, k?" He says. I push his hand off my back and turn to him.
"Yeah? ok and how the hell would you know, You're well off you have a grandmother, siblings, a nice house, parents? what have you ever been through huh? I lost my mother when I was 13, Our house was torched when I was at my friends sleep over, I had a brother he was 11 and also my best friend, I told him everything, I was his big sister and-and *sobbing* he..*sob* He looked up to me like no one else, he cared about me he- *sob* he loved me like no one else he took care of me when I was sick and-and guess what *sob* he was burnt in that fire with my Mom!"
I say while crying like I haven't since that incident
"I-I'm so sorry, I would tell you how I'd know what its like but I'd rather not cause I'm sure complaining about my problems won't make it any better" He says.
)))♡(((
The next morning I wake up Its 6:28 I get up and go to Garth's house. I ring the doorbell, a little girl answers the door
