William

Age 28

William has lived near the castle all his life and is often seen inside the gates working on many projects. He is by trade a carpenter and is friends with much of the castle staff including the queen's ladies in waiting. He is rather fond of Brienna and often does things for her to make her happy. He is trustworthy and honest. In all reality he would make a good match for most girls but alas he is not nobility so those who are ignore him as a possible match.

Brienna

Picking up the apples she hurried him towards the castle gates and once inside she handed the basket to one of the young men there and told him to take it to the kitchens. Making sure to keep Jason directly behind her so he would be less visible to prying eyes she took him into the castle through the servants entrance and pulled a pair of pants off of the laundry line on her way through. Handing him the pants she continued up the stairs and down a beautifully decorated hallway to her own rooms. She ushered him inside and shut the door leaning against it.

She had not realized that she was so tense but a rush of relief overcame her and she heard a knock at her door. Opening it a smidge she answered and gave orders to the young woman who handed her a gown. Closing the door she looked at Jason and wondered what she was going to do with him. She had to go to the party tonight, at least to make an appearance.

"I'll do my best to help you. I'll even find you a job here at the castle but you can't tell anyone that you are from the future or you will be killed." She set about her room awkwardly. She turned away from him. "Please change into the pants I gave you."

Brienna

Brienna put the basket of apples down and reached out touching his arm. "Your year was 2017?" She suddenly felt a little ill and excited at the same time. No wonder his clothing was so different. She had so much to ask him about the future. Brienna was slightly in shock. She didn't even remember to hail the cart driver as he passed them. She slid her arms around Jason and thought about what others would do if she let him tell them he was from the future.

"We have to get you some clothes. You can't tell anyone where you came from. You'd either be hung for being a witch or you would be imprisoned." Hearing the cart rolling away in the wrong direction she let go of him and ran after the cart and hailed the man driving it. She spoke with the driver a moment and returned to Jason with a long cloak.

"Here, put this on and roll up your pants legs and take those shoes off." She wrapped the cloak around him and fastened it in front. "Are you alright?" She looked at him very worried about what could happen to him.

Brienna

Brienna stopped when he asked her the date. They were in the middle of the road. "You are in England and the year is 1562. Queen Elizabeth reigns over the land with an iron fist so let's not dawdle lest I lose my head." She said looking down the road at a cart coming up the road. "Why? What was the date before you plummeted into the tree next to mine?"

Brienna

Brienna watched as he got to his feet and realized his head was bleeding. Nervously she bit her lip and asked him "What is Texas and what kind of falling is freaking? I'm not sure what you mean but we should get your head taken care of. You are not making a lot of sense. Come with me and I'll get you taken care of. I have to get back to the castle. I'm really late."

She turned his head gently with her hand and she looked at the bleeding. "You should be alright." Realizing her dress was still tied up she let the knot out and her dress fell to the ground covering every inch of her skin. "My name is Brienna. I'm sorry about the impropriety. I was climbing an apple tree."

Brienna picked up her basket and called back to him. "Come on Jason. We have to hurry."

Brienna

Brienna reached into the pocket of her twisted skirt looking for the bottle of water that she carried with her. She was slightly surprised it had not leaked all over her dress by now. Opening it she held it to his lips for him as she tilted him upwards so he wouldn't choke on it. Watching as he guzzled the water she asked him curiously, "Who is Emily?"

As his breathing evened out she realized she had been stroking his hair absentmindedly. She stopped that. "Who are you and where did you come from? You can't be from around here. Your clothes are...well, they are not made from anything I've ever seen before."

Brienna suddenly worried if he was from another world and she started to worry that he might hurt her. Carefully she removed herself from under him. "How is it that you literally fell out of the sky? I saw it with my own eyes."

Brienna

Brienna had just reached for the last apple and was getting ready to start her climb down when the sky over the orchard turned greenish and a crackle of lightning and a thunderous boom shook the ground. Grabbing the tree branch harder she watched as a body flew out of the sky and landed precariously in the tree next to the one she was currently perched in. The man was hanging upside down. Brienna scrambled down and ran over to his tree and got a better look at him. He was about four feet off of the ground. She walked closer to him as the sky returned to normal.

"Hello?" Brienna hesitated and then touched his face to make sure he was real. He certainly didn't look like the men around there. He was wearing some kind of blue material that she had never seen before and a cotton shirt with the most perfect buttons she had ever seen. Realizing that he was still alive and very real she looked around and put her arms around him and pulled him to the ground cradling his head and neck as she did.

Once she had him on the ground she took a good look at his face and thought that he was handsome. She blushed to herself and wondered where he came from. She looked over at her basket of apples and back at the young man. She needed to go but how could she just leave this man here like this?

"Wake up, are you alright?" She asked. The more she looked at him the stranger he became to her. He was wearing some kind of shoe that she had never seen before. Brienna glanced up at the innocent looking sky and furrowed her brow.

Brienna

Brienna was rushing to the apple orchard just a mile outside of the castle. One of the local farmers had dropped her off to hasten her trip. Why in the world was Elizabeth being so adamant that the apples come from this orchard when she already knew how much she had given Brienna to do? Brienna would normally assign the job to one of the boys to do but they were currently all doing some big project for the party.

Hurrying up to the door she was surprised when an old woman answered it before she could knock. "Excuse me ma'am I need a basket of apples. Is there someone that can pick them for me?" Brienna asked. The old woman chuckled while shaking her delicate head no. Brienna could see that the woman had lost almost all of her teeth and the couple that were left were in serious peril of falling out. She walked with a limp and her shoulders were hunched over slightly. Brienna was positive that a strong wind would carry the woman away.

"Do you mind if I pick them then?" Brienna asked. The old woman shook her head and Brienna handed her two coins and the woman nearly jumped for joy. "The queen sends her thanks ma'am."

In a raspy voice the old woman thanked her and Brienna smiled as she turned to the orchard and started walking. She looked at the trees and found one that she thought she could get some perfect apples from. Brienna looked around to make sure nobody could see what she was about to do then she hiked her skirts up to her knees and tied the bottom of the dress around her waist so she could climb the tree without tripping on it.

"Oh Elizabeth, the things I do for you" She murmured to herself. Brienna had not climbed a tree in ages but after two failed attempts a broken fingernail and a couple of deep slivers in her hand she got up there. Satisfied with herself she started pitching apples into the basket that she had wedged onto a lower branch.
