I am Claudia, the youngest daughter of the king of France. I am thirteen years old. My father wishes me to marry a noble's son, so my father would have more power as a king. He will send me off to this family and I will never see my family again. I would never be able to live like that, but I must not disobey my father. But is it disobeying if he has asked for my opinion?
   I do not know what to say to him. I do not wish to do this, but I am afraid of him. Should I say what is really on my mind, or should I say what he wishes to hear? There are so many questions bugging me right now. That is it I will tell how I truly feel no matter how much this will anger him. I will not live that life!
      Well I just told him. He said he understood, but he will have to think about sending me. I hope I will get to stay with my beloved family. Usually he take a week to come up with a decision, hopefully not this time. Father has called for me. He told me I will have to go and that is that. I almost died. I could not believe my ears. 
     Well this is it the day I am to go off and meet my new spouse, but don't worry I have come up with a plan. I will make my new spouse despise me. Then he will never want to marry me, nor will his parents want him to. 
      I have just finished with my plan, and it has worked.Father is not angry, because the parents were so mad they didn't even tell what happened. So I guess I will be staying here.!

I am Crispin. I was a peasant working on Lord Furnival's manor, but I ran away. My mother was Asta notice how I said was Asta, my mother has died, and I do not have a father. I was so devastated when my mother died I also wanted to die. I didn't want to go back to the shack where lived, I just wanted to run, and that is exactly what I did. 
    Sir Ayecliff ( the head of the manor since Lord Furnival was away at war) heard of my mother's passing and told me I had to give him my ox for the death tax. Without my ox I cannot work. Without work I won't get food. So, I have decided to run away. While I was running I saw Jhon Ayecliff receive a parchment from a peculiar man. Suddenly John Ayecliff saw me and the chase was on. After a while I fell in aditch and just hid ther. Luckily he never found me so I ran away. 
      I was only on the run for a day when I ran into Bear, my new master. Now he is my master, and I must tend to his evey need. It is actually not that bad. He is a very strange man, but he listens well.
