Ok so This is my "War of roses" based story. I'm really excited about this one!

Ok so As you may or may not know, the war of roses is a very specific historical event. However, I am taking poetic liscense here. This story will be based on the basic Events and idea of the War of Roses. Obviously, many of the famous historical figures will be replaced with Td characters. So please know that this is LOOSELY based ont the war of Roses XD

I think that there will not be one "main" couple, but all of the original TD Couples (Gwent, Duncney, Zoke, aleheather, Gidgette... you get the idea)

This is Part one, ch 1. Part one will be prolouge XD

So I hope you guys like it!

Narrator's POV:

"We can't have him alive!" shouted the Duke.

"There is nothing we can do; he has seized the throne from the King!" said his servant.

"I suggest you send out a dispatch to my brother. And make haste with it! The entire house of York depends on the retrieval of the throne."

"Of course sir."

"and have you heard from Duchess Elizabeth yet?

"Yes sir I have this letter." The servant handed the letter to him. As he scanned the letter he seemed happy.

"Prepare my bags immediately, I must make a trip into the city."

"As you wish sir." And with that, the servant was gone.

It was in the mid 1400's in England and the feud between the house of York and the house of Lancaster had just been realize when the throne of England was seized by the Duke of Lancaster. The duke of York had been counting on his brother, the King, passing the throne onto his family. You see, the king hadn't any children of his own, meaning that when he dies, the throne would come to the duke or York and his family. The Duke, however, did not have any sons,but two twin daughters. Their Mother had died during their birth, leaving them in the care of their servants. The little girls were used to a time of peace and had no idea of the future that lied ahead of them.

Courtney's POV:

"Come back here Zoey!" I laughed.

"You're gonna have to catch me!" she called. We were racing through the huge palace courtyard. We were staying in our summer palace in the countryside.

"Zoey? Where are you?" I called. The whole courtyard was like a maze, so it was great for hide and seek. I walked slowly through the paths, looking for her.

"Boo!" she shouted out, tickling me from behind.

"Ahhh" I shrieked. Immediately she began laughed hysterically.

"Zoey! Don't do that!"

"You're face! 'Ahhh'!" she continued laughing.

"You're so gonna get it!" I chased her throughout the courtyard.

"Bridgette! Courtney is trying to kill me!" she laughed as we ran through the paths.

"Zoey! Courtney! C'mon your Father wishes to have an audience with you." shouted Bridgette. Bridgette was the servant girl in charge of taking care of us. She was only 15, five years older than us, so she was like a big sister.

"Truce?" asked Zoey.

"Truce." I said. "But as soon as we're done… you're dead." I said under my breath.

"What?" asked Zoey

"Nothing." I smiled. Bridgette gave me a look. We walked all the way up to my father's meeting room.

"Behave." Said Bridgette pushing us through the door. The door slammed behind us. The room was dark and a little bit frightening. As we walked forward we heard father's voice coming from a large arm chair.

"Come girls, I have something to speak with you about."

"What is it Father? Are we moving?" asked Zoey.

"No my dear, but I must go away for a while."

"Go away? To where?" I asked him.

"I must visit a friend in the capital on account of urgent business."

"May I ask who father?" asked Zoey.

"You will meet them soon enough my darlings. Now my children go to your servant and I shall see you in about a month." He said, pushing us out the door. The door slammed behind us.

"Soon?" Zoey asked.

"Them?"

Bridgette's POV:

"So what did your father speak of?" I asked them, while helping them dress for the night. I was brushing Zoey's long red hair.

"He said something about going to visit a friend. Ouch!" she cringed.

"Sorry dear!" I said smoothing out the knot in her hair. "Who is he visiting?"

"He said we'd meet them soon enough." said Courtney, while reading a book.

"Them?" I asked.

"Yea, I don't know what he's up too, but I don't like it." said Zoey.

"We shall just have to wait and see then. When does he leave."

"Tomorrow, early." huffed Courtney.

"C'mon girls get to bed." I said

"Why does he have to leave us again? What's so important anyway?" asked Courtney.

"Sadly m dear, the Country is not exactly perfect at the moment." I said while tucking them in.

"What do you mean?" asked Zoey.

"Oh, don't worry about it darling." I said kissing their foreheads.

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight." I said, blowing out the candle.

So? I really like having Bridgette be older than them, because I always see her as a very caring person. so it fits to have her be the care-taker of the little girls. So I hope you guys liked it!
