Chapter 1

Name:Jessica Chaucer
Age:22
Looks:Long brown hair,blue eyes,creamy white skin,when at work as a black smith,I dress in black pants and a matching long sleeved black shirt with a thick brown apron over me.When I dress casual I dress in a lot of dresses with corsets and necklaces.
Personality:I dont ususally trust people right away.Im short tempered and dont show my feelings to anyone but Kate and sometimes my brother.I like to get even and I dont usually look at men in a romantic way.
Info:My brother is Geoffery.He's older then my by 2 years.We grew up together in a loving life.I loved being his sister..then our parents died tragically in an illness.My mom got it first and then my father.So Geff have to play the big brother role and start making money...too bad he did it in a bad way.I got a job too as a simple helper with an older male.He was a black smith.I was only 10 but I needed to make ends meet too.As I was making good money to support us he made money here and there but then he spent the rest on gambling.When I turned 16 I was still the man's helper and I got payed a little more.I had enough to buy a home for Geff and I and bring food regularly...then he told me he had gambled too much and in order to keep himself alive he needed to bet some of my money.I didnt want to see him die so I gave him all I had...he bet and lost...I lost my house and everything in it...after that I told my brother to leave me and never come back to me.I didnt want to be involved with him anymore..sadly,he did so.I didnt mention Kate.Geff and her met when I was 18 and they hit it off.But he asked her for money too and instead of leaving her alone,that was the day I had shuned Geffery and told Kate we would start our own blacksmith buisness...so here we are 4 years in...doing an o-k job as two black smiths...people doubt our abilities because we're woman but we do the trick....and then one man...just one...changed everything for me....forever....

Start:I was out buying more material.It was a nice warm day and I was really happy in the world...but when I got back to the shop I heard voices"Look Geff...get out of here!You know how deadly Jessica has always been if she finds out you're here-""Too late"I said coldly.I saw Geoff,a red head,a chunky man,and-I gasped...he was so gorgeous....my eyes widened as I kept walking but I tripped overa sword and yelped"Oh!"the handsome man rushed to my side"Are you alright?"He asked helping me up.I swatted him"Im fine!And all of you get out!Any friend of my brothers is a disturbance to us!Good day!"I said dusting myself off and picking up the material I had in my arms"Jessica please.You can't still be mad at me.It was 5 years ago-""First of all you bloody git,it was 4 years ago!Secondly you robbed me of every coin I had!You left me there to live on the streets with ur bloody gambling problem!Im your sister for christs sake!"I yelled shoving him"Yes but-""But nothing!Im your family!When we were kids you used to be so protective of me!You used to watch out for me!Now where are u?!You're still gambling!I bet you the only reason these three fine gentlemen are around you is because u OWE them!"I said angrily.Geoff then looked down in shame"My point"I said angrily and walked off.Kate nodded then followed"Will-....will u come here?"Geoffery said to the handsome man.I raised a brow as Geoff whispered in his ear.I blushed as this man looked me over.He nodded then walked back to me"My lady"He said and got on one knee"I...Sir Ulrich Von Lictonschtein(sp?!)ask for ur hand...in armor.Please...please fix my armor"He said kissing my hand.I blushed"N-No way"I said and pulled my hand away but gasped as he grabbed me by my shoulders and made me look at him"I am at ur mercy my lady...my beautiful...lady"Ulrich said kissing my hand.I glared"How about u tell me your real name and I'll think about it"I said"How did u-""I didnt.You just told me"I said smirking.He dropped his head"Its William Thatcher"he whispered.I nodded"Will...I like that much better"i said giggling"Lets see the damage?"I said in fake properness"Then you'll do it?!"Will asked with excitement"No.But I want to see why you're trying so hard"i said and took his armor.I only tsked"Shame.I dont do freebies"I said and threw the armor at my brother.He caught it but dropped to his knees from loss of air"Is there...any other way I could pay you?"Will asked standing infront of me.I looked him up and down then blushed picturing him nude.I shook it off then blew a rasberry"Forget it.You think because I am a woman I can easily be persuaded. Sex doesnt put food on the table understand?Now off with you all!"I said angrily and put a horse shoe in water,watching it steam"Jessica please..if you do this you will never see me again"Geoff said.My heart cracked..."I never said I didnt want to see you for all eternity...ok?But I can not work for free"I said"And I can not work with this broken armor" Will said"That is your problem.Not ours"Kate said stepping forward.I nodded"Each drop of this sweat has a price on it"Kate said as I began to hammer some metal.Will nodded "Just as well...they told me I was daft to even ask but seeing as you were his sister I figured you would help us.."Will said and began to walk away.My blood boiled"Who says that?!"I asked angrily.Kate put a hand on my shoulder"The other armorers"Will said casually.I sighed setting the metal in the water.I shook my head with a smirk"I know what you're doing Sir William....u think because Im short tempered and hate men it will make me show them wrong-""Wait...did they say we couldnt do it because we were woman?" Kate asked.I gave her a look"No,they said you were great with horseshoes,and shite with armor.Infact you even being woman wasnt even mentioned.I didnt know about you until Geoffery said something"Will said.I glared"You are a devious worker Will"I said snatching his armor.Will smirked at me kissing my hand again"You are beautiful...thankyou"he said.I sighed"You have a competition?Use this then come back to me"I said and gave it to him.He nodded and left.I looked at Kate,she smiled"You fancy him Jessica"Kate said "Please.I just met him"I said"Come on.Lets go watch him at the joust"Kate said.I nodd and went off.We managed to push through to the front and there...I saw Will..talking to some woman"Damn...he sees me only as a black smith...Oh well"I said pretending like I didnt care.Kate was watching Geoff the whole time....Geoffery introduced Will to the crowd....and it was actually...really bad...I wanted to throw something at him but when he finally ended I shook my head"What an idiot"I said hiding my face.So the joust began and from what I saw,Will was winning.I smirked"I like this guy.He stares the target dead on.He isnt afraid of getting hurt in the blow"I said.Kate looked at me"So you do fancy him"She stated.I scoffed"Maybe...I havent fancied any body in a very long time...so we'll see"I said watching Will and the other man stop and talk for a bit..then they went on to the ends of the fence...ready to finish the joust but then Cardville called a draw to my surprise"Wow...Will has heart..mercy.Never seen that before"I said..Seeing Will was being advanced...So the joust was over...Kate and I walked up to Will and them.I gave Geoffery a cold look but then sighed"You can stay at our home tonight"I said holding out my hand to shake with Will's but he took my hand and kissed it"I am in your debt"he said but I scoffed"So is that woman you were talking to.Now come on"I said and walked with Kate"Are you jealous?"Will asked smirking"It sounds to me like she is.A first in my dear baby sister"Geoffery said.I glared at them"I think not.I was just trying to warn you you are not the only one aiming to win her heart.I hear Sir Adhemer is playing for her heart as well.Good luck.He's never lost a joust"I said as I kept on"We shall see about that Miss Jessica"Will said.I looked at him"Please..Jessica will due"I said with a small smile.I noticed NOW his two other friends"My my I have forgotten my manors.I am Jessica and who might u two gentlemen be?"I asked eyeing the red head and the brunette"I am Roland Miss"Roland said smiling"And Im Wat"The red head said a little hyer-actively.I gave him a look"A pleasure to both"I said smiling..so the night began and Kate always cooked.Tonight we were having chicken with rice(idfk)"This is delicious"my brother said as I set down ale for everyone"Kate cooked....you would have delicious hot meals every night if you hadnt left her you git"i said as I slammed his drink down.It splashed a little"I am so sorry....I dont deserve your forgiveness"Geoffery said"Want me to rough him up for u my lady?"Wat asked glaring at Geoffery.He looked scarred.I giggled"No such need.I think my brother has learned his lesson...."I said but Kate came in and sat"Until he gets money again"She said bitterly"Aye,she strikes a point"i said taking a bite of my chicken"That is totally not true"Geoffery said"Will?Why exactly is my brother sticking around?He owes you doesnt he?Oh wait wait!Let me guess,he told them u would pay them on his behalf"I said with a knowing smirk.Will sighed"Yes.But he is the one who got me into the jousting there for I can not turn my back on him"Will said"No Will..it's not because he wrote you some rubbish paper...it's because I know you are a kind man...and kind men dont let other....despite how much of an idiot he is....good men be killed"I said giving my brother a look"Thankyou...for saying that"Will said with a small smile.I smile back and finished my food"Well when you're done I will show you where you can sleep tonight"I said and got up and went outside....(Will's pov)I had this feeling Jessica liked me...but that would be crazy.She seems to just be friendly...I shook it off and looked at Kate"Where does she ventrue to?"I asked out of curiosity"She likes to sit on the roof and think in the moonlight"Kate said"If I know my baby sister...and I do...she will be singing.She has loved to write songs and sing them since she was a mere child.She fell in love with the idea of singing when she heard an old Scottish song.Our mother sang it to her.She loved our parents more then any child could ever love...and she puts that love into song...whatever she's been through,what ever she feels she puts it in a song...but the sad thing is...she has never written-""A love song"Kate finished.Geoffery looked at Kate and she looked back...then she got up and walked off angrily"She still hates you"I pointed out"Can you blame her?I was to marry her...she loved me...and I still love her but I let my problem get in the way of that"Geoffery said"So win her back...I want to hear this singing you speak of"I said and got up.....
