Chapter 2 - The Knight Of Nottingham: Chapter Two

It is dawn. Amelia, Janet and Laura marched their way to the sea coast. To reach the coast, they will have to have to walk many miles through the kingdom. But they must do it in disguise. As this side of Nottingham was known for its thieves and burglars. They only have 2 gold coins and 5 silver coins. They would have to keep their possessions safe or else they will be robbed. But neither Amelia nor the others knew their way to the sea side. The vizier has told them if they keep going straight they will reach a man who is trustworthy named Willie. He is a friend of the royal vizier. The vizier told them not to rely on anybody else. They entered a local shop to discuss their plans. A man overheard their plans. "Oh sisters! If you want to go to the coast, I can guide you there. You see, I was a guide when I was young and I know the whole kingdom as the back of my palm. And I will ask only a very little fees....."said the old man. Before he started again, Laura said "That's enough. We have to go." They walked again through the huge crowd. In a second, Amelia bumped into a man. "Hey! Watch where you are going! One minute. Are you Amelia? Marylin and Charlie's daughter?" asked the man."Yes, yes I am. But how did you recognize me? Do you know me?"asked Amelia. She went to a flashback. She had run away from her family to fulfill her dream of becoming a knight."Oh Amelia! Your family has been looking for you for years. But after some years, they disappered. They were no where to be seen." "Okay, Okay. Its enough! Lets get going" said Janet. After a few miles they reached a man who decscribed himself as Willie. He seemed he was telling the truth. He starts to shove through the crowd. After 3 hours of struggling through the crowd, they finally reached the sea side. "Ok Willie, thanks for your help. We will take it take it from here." said Amelia. "Please give me my fees. It will be only 3 silver coins" said Willie. "Janet, please give Mr. Willie his wages. Let's be on our way." said Amelia. "Its gone! The money is gone!" "What are you saying Janet! It can't just disappear!" "No, its really gone!" "What are you saying? I should have my wages right now!" shouted Willie. "We don't know where it is." said Janet, desperately. "Wait, the man I bumped into today! He must have taken it! I will go find him" said Amelia. "Its no use now." said Willie. "He will be long gone now. But I must have my wages. I have a whole family of 5 to feed. Do not do this to me!" " What can we do now?" asked Laura. " I have an idea. You can work in my shop till I get 3 silver coins. My buisness has been running real slow nowadays. I really need some help" said Willie. They didn't have any choice. The girls agreed. Willie led them to his shop. He sold bread for a living. But just near his shop another bigger shop has opened and now Willie is not getting any customers. "Okay Willie. I understand your problem. The first thing you should have done is clean this place up. It is so dusty. No wonder the shop is not getting customers. Its not so good looking. Lets tidy it up." said Amelia. After a long tidying up process. The shop is finally cleaned. They made new types of bread. The shop began to attract more customers. The buisness started running smoothly in a coupe of weeks. But the girls knew they were getting late on their quest. On an evening Amelia said to Willie that they would be gong at dawn. That day they had a huge feast at their house. Willie was very greatful to them. That night Amelia started to think about her parents. In an instant, she fell asleep. She was woken up by a huge commotion outside. Huge crying sounds were heard. She rushed outside. She was shocked by what she saw!
