Another, (yes, another!) fan-fic!!! except this one has a catch...

lol!!! RF, funny girl!:p sorry, twas all I had time for! here's a bunch more...

She slowly walked over to a bush and crouched down. She waited for what seemed like hours, though it was only a few seconds. Then, right by her ear, she heard another rustle. She jumped up and spun to face the bush, and hit it with all her might.

“OUCH!” cried the bush, and out rolled a young, brown-haired teenage boy. She stared at him and the large welt on his forehead. She couldn’t have done that, could she?

“You had it coming, Ed,” said a voice from behind her. She spun around to face the voice, and nearly gasped. The boy from her dream! Could it really be?

“I did not! Whatever could I have done to deserve that?” said the boy on the ground as he tried to stand up, still holding his head. “There should be a law against girls carrying and whacking people with sticks! Peter, why don’t we have that law?” demanded the boy as he leaned against a tree.

“You hadn’t thought of it yet, Ed,” said the other, rolling his eyes. He turned to the girl and said, “I’m terribly sorry that we frightened you, it wasn’t done intentionally. You weren’t the one to give Ed that welt. You see, he ran into a tree a few minutes ago, and the tree gave him a little present to remember it by.” He was trying very hard not to laugh, but he had that mischievous look in his eye that showed that he was laughing inside.

“That tree hit me!” protested the boy named Ed. “There should be a law against that too! Confound girls with sticks! Confound trees that jump!” he mumbled as he rubbed his head gently.

“Confound is his new word of the day,” said the older boy to her. She was still staring in shock at him. He was wearing the same clothes, even! He finally noticed her look, and his face changed a bit.

Just a bit? If I noticed some random stranger who I met in the wood staring at me funny I'd probably bring a stick down on their head...but only cause it'd be fun..:D:p
 
here's some more...sorry for the double post...

“Are you all right?” the boy named Peter asked her as he took a step towards her. She backed up and held up her stick again. He quickly put his hands in the air and stepped back. “I’m not going to hurt you. I just wondered if I could help. You look very tired and hungry, that’s all,” he said gently.

“I…I’m fine,” she responded, surprised at the sound of her own voice. She lowered her stick a little.

“Where are you headed?” asked Peter.

“I’m trying to find the castle, and…” her voice trailed off. What was she looking for?

“We live in a castle!” said Ed, who forgot about his head for a moment. “It’s not too far from here!”

“What he says is true,” said Peter. “I have a feeling that our castle is the one you are looking for. But why do you seek it?”

“I’m…I’m in search of a job, and a place to stay,” she said, tilting her chin upward. Her confidence shocked her, as did her words. What was she getting herself into?

Peter and Ed looked at each other. “Well… we just happen to be some of the residents,” said Ed, looking a little too proud. Peter rolled his eyes. “I’m sure we can supply that for you,” he said. “If you’d like, we’ll walk back with you and show you where to go and who you can report to for work.”

She hesitated for a moment, and then nodded. “I’d like that,” she said in a quiet voice. She had to take some chances. Taking a deep breath she lowered the stick all the way.

Peter smiled. “You won’t need that anymore, I promise,” he said, looking straight into her eyes.

She looked at him warily, and shook her head.

Peter looked disappointed, but didn’t argue with her. “What is your name?” he asked as they started walking.

“Katriana.”

mooooooooooooooore...............

“That’s a pretty name,” Peter said, looking at her. “Where do you come from?”

Silence. Peter looked ahead of him. This was one of the most awkward conversations he’d had in a while. She didn’t trust him, and that bothered him to no extent. He usually protected people, not harmed them! He could feel his face heating up. This was embarrassing, but he really couldn’t blame the girl. He wondered what she had gone through to not trust people this way. He looked over at Ed, who, even though he had been the one whacked, didn’t seem to mind at all. Peter wished that he didn’t care so much sometimes.

“All right, um, what do you know how to do?” Peter asked.

Katriana looked at him, obviously confused. Peter understood, and rephrased his question, “I mean, what would you do in the castle? Do you cook, clean, sew…?”

“I…” she was at a loss for words. She’d never done anything like that before. She started to sweat. “Um, well, I’ve never exactly done…that is to say…” she looked at Peter, completely bewildered. He finally understood, and said, “Well, I’m sure that we’ll be able to find a good fit for you.”

She was so relieved! He was being so nice to her, but why?

Why, you ask, is Peter being so nice to her? Why because she's a pretty girl.:p

How insightful of you, Rf!!! ;) lol, I guess you could say that. But I was also thinking about why he likes Lucy better than Susan. Susan is the kind of person who doesn't depend on anyone, but Lucy is. I think Peter is the kind of boy who enjoys looking after people, which is why he makes such an excellent High King. Plus, Katriana doesn't exactly look like the kind of person who is, shall we say, 'well off'. :p
