The Mystic Child

Chapter 2

During mid day an old man running down the streets. He’s causing madness about his beliefs. This man’s name is Arnoldo.

“Please you got to believe me,” Arnoldo said to the shopkeeper.

“Sorry Arnoldo,” the shopkeeper said.

“But fairies doe exist, I’ve seen them with my own eyes, they-” Arnoldo started to rant till someone trips him.

Across town to a woman named Meredith, who is Tenanye’s mother, was in the market. Every time she is, all she thinks about is how she met her daughter’s father. It was like it was yesterday.

The man was tall and strong. He had hair as dark as night and eyes that were so blue that they put the ocean to shame. Whenever he was happy, his eyes would glisten and a strand of his long hair would come out of his low ponytail. This was a soldier, once upon a time but she now works for the royal family. Only as their shipment man, trains the men, and goes to their meetings across the world.

This man was well known but Meredith didn’t know that. She didn’t know who he was or even heard of him. That might have been the reason why he fell in love with her. His name was Antonio Christopher.

Their love story began on one sunny day. Meredith was young and she had dark brown eyes and blonde hair. One day she decided to go into the market to pick up some medicines and sell some vegetables.

It was like any other day with kids running around, laughing townsfolk, and of course the rude men. What was different was this young drunk soldier. He grabbed her wrists and started tugging.

“Come on baby, let’s have some fun,” the man said.

“No leave me alone...HELP! Someone help! Please help me” Meredith told him and yelled for help.

“Victor let the lady go,” a young man came to her rescue that was passing by.

Meredith looked over to the man. When the man saw that this man, who she found out was Victor, was not letting go, he had hit him hard. It had made a loud smack and Victor had let her go and he had tried to fight this mystery man. He had epically failed and ran like a scared little kitten. Her savior came over and helped her up.

“You okay miss,” the man asked.

“Yes I am, thanks to you kind sir,” Meredith told him.

“Glad to hear that, can I get a name for who I saved? Might I say you are very beautiful,” the man asked and said.

“Of course sir, my name is Meredith James, daughter of Farmer Henry James,” Meredith had curtsied.

“It is nice to meet you Meredith, my name is Antonio Christopher. I am in charge of many things dealing with our soldiers and royal family. I am well known to this town,” Antonio said proudly.

“I honestly didn’t know who you were till now. Well since you introduced yourself Sir Antonio,” Meredith said.

That was the beginning of their beautiful relationship. Months later they became something more. They were telling each other they loved each other a lot than they even realized. He had to leave one day and promised Meredith he would marry her when he gets back, which would be anywhere between 10 to 16 years. Only if she would wait for his sorry ass which, she of course would as she loves him.

Meredith would wait for him as he has her heart. One thing he didn’t know was that she was pregnant with his first child.
