VIOLET
Once upon a time, in a poor, poor town there lived a very beautiful girl named Violet. She had brown hair, green eyes and she always wore her beautiful violet dress with a picture of a red rose on the front. She was always nice to the people of her town and never committed sin. 'Good morning to you all' Violet shouts from her doormat.
'Oh good morning Violet, what a fine day it is.... But did you ummm…………happen t-to have………….. any money on you' said the dwarfs.
'Sorry not today, maybe next time' said Violet with a sad facial expression.
'Oh okay, bye' the dwarf says trying to hide his emotion.
Then came a bunch of knights in an enormous huddle. 'Separate!' shouted a familiar voice from the centre. As the knights opened up there huddle out came the prince of France. 'I am here for Violet' says the wealthy prince with a deep voice.
'Oh Prince Bruno, I am very sorry to say this but, Violet has gone to the lake Forrest with William' says an old woman from the town. 'Well go get her; don't just stand around like stupid knights' says the prince ordering his knights. 'There is something we need to talk about' said Prince Bruno with a smile on his face.
As Violet and William were walking around the Forrest a lot of interesting topics came up. 'Where are you from?' said William. 'That is for me to know and you to find out' said Violet cheekily. 'Well I am from England just in case you want to know' said William. Violet smiled. 'I have to go, bye' said Violet walking away. 'Wait, I didn't get your name' shouted William. 'That's for me to know and you to find out' screamed Violet. William chuckled as he packed all his fishing gear and started walking back as well.
When Violet was halfway home, the knights came and picked up Violet. 'AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH' screamed Violet before being put to sleep by a Knight. Once William had heard the scream, he immediately ran towards the direction of Violets home. Once he stopped running he tripped on something. When he was back up on his feet, he saw that he had tripped over one of Violets shoes, and that's when he got worried and he started to run even more. When he reached Violets home town he asked the old lady where she had gone.
'Excuse me have you seen a girl go past here?' asked William. 'Well what's her name?' asked the old woman. 'I don't know but she has brown hair, green eyes, and a Violet dress' said William. 'Oh yes, my daughter just saw her, apparently she was knocked out and on a knights horse' said the old lady talking a little more quietly. 'Did they say where she was going?' asked William getting a little bit frightened. 'Well they were heading in that direction so I think they must be going to the circus' said the old lady pointing to the left. 'Thank you very much, I will head to the circus now' said William feeling determined to save Violet.
When William arrived at the circus he saw Violet being screamed at by Prince Bruno. 'YOU LEAVE HER ALONE', screamed William pushing Bruno to the ground. Whilst William was fighting Bruno, Violet sneakily grabbed the sword from one of the knights and threatened to stab them if anyone got involved in the fight. `I'm warning you, take one step closer and it will be a bloody mess' said Violet. While William and Bruno were fighting William got on top of Bruno and started punching.
'Run, run while you can' said William still throwing punches. 'Then what's going to happen to you?' asked Violet feeling worried. 'That's for me to know, and you to find out' said William. 'Okay' said Violet under her breath. 'I can do it' she mumbled. Then she turned around and stabbed all three of the knights. Violet ran and ran. Then she stopped and thought about William and how much she would miss him if he was killed.
4 YEARS LATER
Violet was a grown woman she had her own house, a job and hundreds of Violet dresses, but there was one thing she was missing.... Bang Bang Bang, there was a loud knock on the door. 'Coming' shouted Violet from upstairs. She opened the door and she couldn't believe who was standing at the door. It was William with a red rose in his hand, the exact same one as the one on her Violet dresses.
