A young lady named Jennifer being 18 years old wakes up like any normal day and hops out of bed. Her long brown hair down and wavy and green eyes still looking half asleep and her green nightgown in a sundress fashion and a white border and sash. She stands and gets herself ready in the bathroom fixing her hair and trying to wake up then stands in her room as her butler knocks and enters the room, she being a noble in her family’s estate with a large mansion and forest surrounding it. Well from a young age she had been living your life with Chazz though he may be her butler, but she does her best to make sure that she treats him as anyone else though he has been told otherwise quite often but she still does her best along with caring for her little sister.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"Chazz: (He stands beside Jennifer).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: How are you?\u00a0 Have you had\u00a0a good night’s sleep?<\/p>\n

Chazz: It was pleasant madam though the birds outside keep me awake at times.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I am sorry to hear that I will get a cat to take care of that.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Yes, very\u00a0good, hopefully I do not sneeze from the cat though.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I am sorry I forgot of your allergy I will be sure to find another way for the birds to leave.<\/p>\n

Chazz: That would be most appreciated madam.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Very well then, I am done with my food could you please take care of it for me.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Of course, milady.\u00a0 (Takes the plates away).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Stands\u00a0and goes towards the closet to pick something to wear).<\/p>\n

Chazz: May I suggest something not warm?\u00a0 It is quite cool today.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Alright, thank you for letting me know.\u00a0 (Looks through her dresses).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Leaves for a moment to take the plates away).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Seems to have trouble picking a dress at first).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Knocks once again).\u00a0 Madam are you ready for your day?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: No, I cannot pick a dress would you help me?\u00a0 There are two I have in mind.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Of course, milady.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (holds up two springtime dresses one being blue and the other green of the same silky flowing style).\u00a0 Blue or green?<\/p>\n

\"\"Chazz: Blue would fit your calm and peaceful personality while green would ignite the energy and creativity you have.\u00a0 Either one would be a fine choice.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: It is\u00a0up to you.\u00a0 I am\u00a0just unsure what to pick.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Green then.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Alright good choice.\u00a0 (Puts the blue dress away and green on the door.\u00a0 The green\u00a0dress being short sleeved and with frilly light brown edges, a darker brown sash goes\u00a0around the waist and deep green corset.\u00a0\u00a0The skirt is simple for a noble but fitting to her style flowing down with ease).<\/p>\n

Chazz: Yes, very well then.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Alright I have to change; may you please leave so that I may do so?<\/p>\n

Chazz: of course, madam.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I thank you.<\/p>\n

Chazz: I will be in the hallway waiting then.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I will just shut the door to the closet.\u00a0 (Goes to the door ready to close it).<\/p>\n

Chazz: Please go ahead.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Closes door).\u00a0 Thank you.\u00a0 (Changes dresses behind doors).\u00a0 Chazz have you seen the maids?\u00a0 They have been gone quite a while now that I mention it.\u00a0 I only see you who serves me.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Well, I believe madam that\u00a0they are somewhere else at the moment.\u00a0\u00a0I only personally serve you though the maids are indeed able to serve you as well.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: It is fine but usually they are here helping me dress and wash for my day, but I can manage without them.<\/p>\n

Chazz: no, no I can call someone if you wish but we do have a gathering later so they probably getting ready for that.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: indeed, then let them be.<\/p>\n

Chazz: as you wish.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Trips over fabric of the dress fabric as I try to zip up the back falling backwards).\u00a0 Gah!\u00a0 Well perhaps it takes more than one to put on a dress like this.<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Sighs).\u00a0 I tried to tell you milady.\u00a0 Do you want me to help you?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: No that is quite alright.\u00a0 It is improper for you to do so.<\/p>\n

Chazz: perhaps, however it is my duty to help you whenever you need me.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Sighs).\u00a0 I suppose that is true.<\/p>\n

Chazz: But it is still up to you whether that I do help you.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: It is fine I can handle this.\u00a0 (Tries again but stumbles backwards again but into the door that opens making her fall back).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Stutters shocked and falls from the door hitting him).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jennifer’s little sister, Kairi who is a 14-year-old who looks a bit younger like her sister because of her height than she is with long black hair in a messy ponytail from her sleep.\u00a0 She has dark brown eyes and wears\u00a0a pink nightgown in the same summer dress fashion as Jennifer’s nightgown was and a small black bow sash around her waist.\u00a0 Kairi comes in as Jennifer and Chazz are still laying down not really knowing what is going on.\u00a0 Kairi\u00a0not knowing either but sees she is unconscious and Chazz with dizzy eyes and looks confused on what to do.<\/p>\n

\"\"Kairi: umm sis what are you doing on top of Chazz?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Snaps out of it).\u00a0 Umm.\u00a0 (Tries and looks at Chazz turning over but comes face to face with his lips meeting hers accidently.\u00a0 Blushes a deep red at what happened once realizing it).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kairi:\u00a0(Squeals surprised,\u00a0running away.\u00a0 Chazz still knocked out with Jennifer blushing madly in shock).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Stumble a bit to get off but slips\u00a0on the fabric of the dress falling exactly where she was.\u00a0 She blushes even more remembering her dress is not zipped so try holding the dress up blushing madly now).<\/p>\n

(Maids come from hearing the noise then some help Jennifer while some help Chazz up).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Still is in shock saying frantically).\u00a0 T-thank you it’s not what it looks like… Is he all right?<\/p>\n

Maid 1: (Maid pulling Chazz up checks his head for bleeding).\u00a0 No madam he is quite alright.\u00a0 He only has a mild head injury.\u00a0 He should be fine when he wakes up, though his head will hurt a little.<\/p>\n

Maid 2: I suggest you get dressed before he wakes up milady.\u00a0 Unless you want Sir. Chazz to see you in such a improper manner.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: You are right could you help me with the zipper.\u00a0 I am\u00a0having slight trouble with it.<\/p>\n

Maid 1: (She nods and zips up the dress).\u00a0 You are all set now for your party now madam.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I will go however could you put him on my bed to rest.\u00a0\u00a0He will need it some rest.\u00a0 If he had hit his head too hard and does not\u00a0wake, I will call a doctor to make sure that he is alright.<\/p>\n

Maid 1: As you wish Madam Jennifer.\u00a0 I will notify you as he wakes up.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Thank you, I would appreciate that.\u00a0 I would like to know what the scheduled is for me today as Chazz seems he cannot do that at the moment.<\/p>\n

Maid 2: You have a visitor.\u00a0 I think a suitor from a neighboring land.\u00a0 Your parents have sent word you are of age to marry.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I wish they would not I continue\u00a0sending them just for me to send them away.\u00a0 I am not interested in such things.\u00a0 (Leaves with an irritated expression).<\/p>\n

\"\"Maid 1: (Her voice echoes through hall).\u00a0 Well mam please look at the boy at least.\u00a0 Who knows he may impress you in a very romantic way?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Goes about morning schedule).\u00a0 Let\u2019s see, I have the visitor at noon to greet.\u00a0 Then I think I will have my archery lesson.\u00a0 I have the afternoon gathering and then the rest of the day is either greeting nobles in a social event\u00a0and then relax.\u00a0 I wish I could do more combat but as a lady it’s always discouraged.\u00a0 (heads to the field near the forest for archery regardless.\u00a0 Goes to practice no one able to stop her and everyone sighs shaking their head as normal.\u00a0 She reaches the forest far from view and looks around for the coast to be clear and grabs pants and shirt with other weapons staying there until the early afternoon hours).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Wakes up an hour later, asking what happened since he had fallen asleep and a maid tells him everything besides the part of Jennifer falling on top him so… awkwardly and sighs).\u00a0 Why am I not surprised that she was not interested in\u00a0speaking to the suitor?\u00a0 \u00a0I understand she does not want to get into those types of events, but it is even ruder to the guest… Gosh what am I going to do with her.<\/p>\n

Maid 1: Well, what are you going to do Sir. Chazz?<\/p>\n

Chazz: I think I might as well go talk to her about this and see if she needs help with her lesson.\u00a0 Though I know her parents are against it she is quite stubborn, isn’t she?<\/p>\n

Maid 1: Yes, she can be a quite a handful sometimes, can’t she?<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Laughs a little bit as well as the maid).\u00a0 Yes, yes, she can be, but she is our lady to serve.\u00a0 I must be on my way to see what she is up too, thank you for the information.<\/p>\n

Maid 1: (Smiles as she waves goodbye to Chazz).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (He leaves the room to goes to find Jennifer).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Sometime later as she is practicing, she notices Chazz is coming and begins to panic a little bit as she cleans up her weapons hiding them as Chazz finds her).<\/p>\n

Chazz: What exactly are you doing milady?<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Turns around shocked having sworn he was much further away\u00a0grabbing the weapons she\u00a0had put down and run in the forest).<\/p>\n

Chazz: Well milady you really should not be running.\u00a0 You were always bad at hide and seek when you were younger.\u00a0 Always being caught so easily.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Hides behind big tree but drops all weapons but the bow).\u00a0 … Oops.<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Sighs).\u00a0 Madam what am I going to do with you now that you are busy trying to work with weapons… Like always.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Well, I like to work with them.\u00a0\u00a0Just because I am a lady does that mean I have to act like one all the time… And will you tell anyone you saw me doing this… I will not stop practicing… It is the one time I can be alone and not worry about what others think when I do something improper.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Well, I think I do not have to keep a secret as I am aware that mostly everyone here in the mansion is aware of your activities that you do when we aren’t looking.\u00a0 Though we have no right to stop you because we know that you will just go back to these things.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Well… That is true I would keep going but….\u00a0 (Tries to think of a response but is unable to think of how to explain her actions or why she wants to learn but then finds her answer as she thinks and looks down).\u00a0 I just want to be able to protect Kairi and myself… Yes, I have you and can have guards to protect me but if something happens… I want to be ready to defend and protect if I need to.<\/p>\n

Chazz: (He looks down as he sighs).\u00a0 I can understand your want to protect someone and I see the importance of self-protection.\u00a0 However, who said I would have guards protect with me.\u00a0 I would have you know I have trained in the arts of combat, so I am able to protect you and everything that means so much to you.\u00a0 However, I cannot have you go into a combat situation without actual battle experience so I have an idea for you than if you cannot stop working with weapons.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: What is that idea?\u00a0 (Goes away from the tree so Chazz can see her with a confused look).\u00a0 Do you plan to teach me or is it something else that you have in mind?<\/p>\n

Chazz: In a way, you could say that it is a little\u00a0bit of both.\u00a0 All that I ask is that you do not\u00a0find my methods harmful.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: What do you mean by harmful?\u00a0 Do you plan to fight me?\u00a0 (Grabs her bow and watches Chazz carefully).<\/p>\n

Chazz: In a way you could say that… Though I will say you will struggle, and I hope you are not displeased with me in the end madam.\u00a0 (He pulls out a sword out of thin air somehow as it appears to have come from a type of energy she cannot understand).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (She narrows eyes a little as she readies her bow, pulling back the string but not aiming the bow at Chazz yet wondering what was with the sword coming from out of nowhere and watching him carefully).\u00a0 Isn’t it against some form of rule for a butler to attack the one they serve?<\/p>\n

Chazz: True that rule does exist, and I shouldn’t be attacking you or harming you, but it is a different story when I am the one teaching you and giving you a lesson on action.\u00a0 We should keep this lesson in the forest to avoid other people from interfering.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Very well I can agree with being in the forest, but I do not wish to hurt you on accident… But if you come at me in a fight, I have no option but to face you.\u00a0 There is no need to train me since I already can handle myself fine… I do not need to be protected.<\/p>\n

Chazz: Well, I do wonder about that.\u00a0 Can you actually handle someone who is aiming to kill you in battle, we can find out?\u00a0 (He says with a smile).\u00a0 Now let us begin our dual madam Jennifer.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (She sighs).\u00a0 Very well though I do not wish to fight you… If I must then very well.\u00a0 (Aims her bow at Chazz but not aimed at vital areas not wanting to hurt him).<\/p>\n

Chazz: Well, you are my lady and if weapons are involved then it is my concern of your safety no matter what you say.\u00a0\u00a0If you are fighting something, then I will fight with you.\u00a0 I do not like it any more than you do, but I must see the potential that you hold madam.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Very well though I do not plan to hurt you since you have been a faithful butler and friend to me.\u00a0 (Smiles being ready for the fight).<\/p>\n

Chazz: If you wish milady then let us begin.\u00a0 (He readies his sword in stance that is unique to him as Jennifer can swear, she sees the sword begins to glow a light and dark\u00a0slightly).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (the forest grows darker meaning she had been out there long enough for sun set to approach\u00a0making the forest dimmer.\u00a0 As she is shooting her bow aiming towards Chazz’s chest he blocks with his sword with ease).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Is able to approach Jennifer as his speed is unusually\u00a0fast as he keeps trying to make direct contact with her.\u00a0 He makes\u00a0sure the sheath stays over the sword to conceal the blade).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Blocks him with her bow but notices Chazz is moving quite fast and tries to keep him in sight able to shoot a few arrows.\u00a0 with him\u00a0being so close to her it makes it much more difficult to shoot.\u00a0 She blocks and strikes with her bow like a staff for now until an opportunity is seen).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (He then charges into Jennifer as he begins his barrage of attacks towards her without a clear sense of opening for her to counter-attack.\u00a0 He is mostly attacking her arms and legs so that she would not\u00a0get major damage onto her).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Is forced backwards only able to block and defend herself.\u00a0 She stays\u00a0focused getting hit in the arm gritting her teeth in a little pain but tries to ignore it and plan to attack of her own.\u00a0 She jumps onto a tree, jumping away branch to branch to create distance and shoot her bow).<\/p>\n

Chazz: Oh, a very nice idea to create distance between us.\u00a0 I see you can strategize a little bit.\u00a0 However, will it work, let us find out.\u00a0 (He then disappears into the forest).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: I would hope it works.\u00a0 (Looks for where Chazz had disappeared not seeing him then closes her eyes looking for him another way and shoots an arrow in the shadows even though there is no way to see anyone from that area normally but is able to find him there).<\/p>\n

\"\"Chazz: (Is hiding behind a tree however\u00a0as he is resting there, he sees the arrow just barely miss him by an inch).\u00a0 Well then.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Already is bow pulled back ready to fire again).\u00a0 I know you are there.\u00a0 There is\u00a0no point in hiding.<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Laughs a bit).\u00a0 Oh, do you now?\u00a0 Let me try that again then.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Keeps her senses and instincts sharp to keep an eye on Chazz’s movements).\u00a0 Be my guest.<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Vanishes from the tree and goes to another.\u00a0 He continues\u00a0going over and over, closer to Jennifer each time).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Realizing\u00a0where Chazz is going very quickly she makes herself\u00a0it harder to track jumping from branch to branch with her eyes closed as if she is feeling the area around her.\u00a0 She shoots\u00a0the bow at every place he stops, hitting inches away from him not wanting to actually hit him).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Manages to avoid the arrows as\u00a0he closes in on Jennifer and readies his sword again to attack).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Blocks Chazz with the bow.\u00a0 As she blocks with the bow as she stands on a branch Chazz noticing her eyes are closed as she focuses).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Smiles as disappears into a shadow nearby).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Pulls her bow back to shoot then is confused barely sensing Chazz’s movements as if he completely disappeared into the shadow.\u00a0 Shooting the arrow at the slight movement as she searches being on guard and backing up onto another branch defensively).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (A shadowy figure begins to follow her as she goes from branch to branch and stays close to her).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (She looks for Chazz as if a voice inside herself tells her he is behind her she turns suddenly to a dark shadowy figure not sure how he got there or why it looks like he is a shadow whispering to herself more).\u00a0 That he is a… shadow? (Tries to think logically that maybe he is just in the shadows which makes him somehow look like that though it takes her off guard greatly).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Suddenly his sword sheath hits Jennifer on the head but with no force used behind the strike).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Winces a little then grabs her head rubbing it as she looks at Chazz and pouts).\u00a0 Ow.<\/p>\n

Chazz: (laughs a bit as he rubs her head).\u00a0 I am sorry but I think our lesson is done for now.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Swings her bow onto her back to carry).\u00a0 Alright… It is weird…\u00a0I lost track of your movements and could have sworn you were a shadow for a second… It was strange.\u00a0 (Gives a confused look to why she could not feel Chazz’s movements through the forest knowing she should have been able to no matter what).<\/p>\n

Chazz: (Smirks).\u00a0 Well, I will tell you later but for right now let us get going madam.<\/p>\n

Jennifer: Umm alright then.\u00a0 (Still gives a confused look not sure what happened but shrugs and looks for her things she had left in the forest.\u00a0 Closing her eyes to search then picking up a bag under a root going over to Chazz and opening her eyes smiling at him but her eyes glowing slight green.\u00a0 She is not really paying attention to it or forget to hide it).\u00a0 Already then?<\/p>\n

Chazz: Alright then, after you milady.\u00a0 (He holds out his sword and makes it disappear into the shadow nearby).<\/p>\n

Jennifer: (Looks at the sword disappearing with a questioning expression but decides to ask later.\u00a0 They walk back to the mansion to handle their evening’s duties and get some rest looking at Chazz with a smile).<\/p>\n
