A promise, never forgotten. (My own story)

First day on the job 1

An pov.

"I'm late!!." I said running down the dirt packed road. 

Hi I'm An, I'm 10 years old. I have silver hair with white tips, I also have silver eyes or that's what I've been told. I was lost and hurt before I came here.

I'm a kid with a job. Most kids my age would have jobs from their parents but I don't have parents, but I do have people to help me. I've been in this village for four years at least by tomorrow that is.

I was sleeping in the field when I remembered I was supposed to be in town and delivering the new shipment from the docks to the shops.

 I ran to my home, a small one room shack that used to be a garden shed for some tools. I grabbed my bag and ran out of the house closing the door after.

I arrived in town before noon bell. I ran to the docks and stoped when I saw a man dressed in a plain blacksmiths costume with his hammer in it's holster at his side. I recognize him as Phillis black, the blacksmith from town square. He seems to be disturbed.

"What's up phil... was I that late.." I said jokingly and hoping I'm not late.

"No.. there's just new people here.. that seem.. shady.." phil shook his head then turned to me. "Weren't you supposed to be in new clothes... what happened." He said pointing out that I'm still in my old white-brown shirt and brown shorts..

"Yah... actually I didn't get anything this time.. the church said they don't have anything for me.." I said remembering yesterday, the church or father bread head..aka father Geoffrey told me to never come back to the church and to think about leaving town.

"So that old priest... got what he wanted huh... oh that reminds me isn't tomorrow the anniversary of you joining our village four years ago..." Phil said looking excited.

"Yes.. though I'm probably going to Maria's house like last year... though I have not seen her lately... do you now what's going on.." I asked looking at him.

"If you haven't heard then you should go find out for your self..oh come by after supper I'll need you to deliver some packs.." he said walking away from the docks.

"Okay I'll see you later..." I said waving back at him then turning to the docks.. "Okay let's hurry to work.." I said to myself.

I ran to the new shipment and talked with the captain then I left to get my wagon. After I gathered the shipment and found out who gets what, I set off to town square.

 I delivered all but two packages and I started heading back to the docks when a man in armor waved for me to stop. He has short brown hair and green eyes.

"Hey gal, do you know where I might find a blacksmith.." the man asked me after I stoped.

"Yes.. I'm actually going over there after I return the wagon... why." I asked back.

"I can't say... but I'm being rude.. let me introduce myself.. I'm Alford, warrior of the silver blade alliance.. you." Alford said holding his hand out to shake.

"An, most people call me Anna though.. nice to meet you." I said shaking his hand.

I arrived at the docks and Alford fallowed. 

I pulled my bag from the wagon seat then stated pushing the wagon in its shed. He helped me put the wagon back then started to fallow me but then stoped.

He waved and yelled at some other fellows how walked off a ship.

"Guys.. what are you doing back on the ship.. I thought you said we aren't going by ship again.." Alford said to the new group of people.
