Kristina Kincaid Was Found In The Center Of A Circular Arrangement Of White Rose Bushes, By The Leader Of A Band Of Gypsy's By The Name Of Gregorian Kincaid . He Had Stoped The Caravan Of Wagons For There Was A Fallen Tree On The Path They Traveled Down. Once Stopped He Had Heard The Whimpering Cry Of A Baby But In Looking Around He Dissmissed The Thought Of A Infant In The Middle Of The Savage Wilderness They Where In. Giving Directions To A Few Of The Members In The Band To Remove The Tree, He Told Them He Had To Go Water A Tree As He So Eloquently Put It. Once He Had Left The Road He Heard The Whimpering Of A Child Again. So Being A Man Filled With Much Curiosity, He Walked To The Area Where He Thought He Had Heard It. He Seen Nothing There Though Save A Odd Arrangment Of Rose Bushes For They Had Seemed To Have Grown In A Circle Like Fashion. He Approached Figuring He Could Pick A Few Of The Breathtakingly Beautiful White Roses For His Wife Helena Kincaid Upon Coming Closer To The Rose Bush's He Heard The Whimper Again, When He Was Standing Beside Them He Noticed To His Amazement And Surprise A Bare Infant Child Who Was Obviously Burnt By The Sun And Rather Undernourished And So Dehydrated That All She Could Manage Was A Slight Whimpering Cry For Her Tiny Lips Were Cracked And Bleeding From Being Parched And Her Throat Dry. He Looked Around And Hollared Out To See If Anyone Was Around, But None Answered, At First He Was Going To Leave The Infant There , For It Seemed It Was Placed Purpously There, But As He Turned To Walk Away The Infant Who Seemed No More Than A Few Months Old Gave A Feeble Cry And Fell Still, Turning He Saw She Was Breathing Shallowly And Did Not Look To Well. He Cursed Under His Breath And Started Pushing Aside The Thorned Branches, But As He Did They Began To Attack Him , He Hurried And Grabed The Infant Her Head Rolling Limply Back He Tucked Her Close To His Chest And Fell Back Cut Up By The Rose Bush's. And No Sooner That He Did That , The Cirlcular Arrangement Exploded Into Flames. Leaving A Circle Of Ashes, Looking Down To The Infant , A Pair Of Eyes Looked Up At Him And Kristina's Face Smiled As She Turned And Snuggled Against His Chest With A Sigh. He Knew Right There He Had Just Found The Daughter His Wife Could Never Have, Since His Wife Was Ill As A Child HerSelf , She was UnAble To Carry Full Term, There Children Were Always Born To Soon And Passed On Shortly After.
As The Years Went On Kristina Grew Up On The Road With Her Gypsy Family Who Had Accepted Her Instantly And Loved Her Very Much But Not As Much As Helena and Gregorian Who Loved Her More Than The Breath They Breathed. She Learned Many Skills From Them, And They Made Much Money From Her Ability To Produce Fire From Her Hands And Control It Well, A Talent She Had Been Discovered To Have Since She Was 4yrs Old And A Talent That Had Brought Spectators With Money. From Town To Town They Traveled Never Staying Any Place More Than A Month Or Till They Were Ran Out By People Who Feared The Abilities Of The FireGirl And Who Hated Gypsy's In Genral. To Her Though Her Life Couldnt Have Been More Perfect, She Had Loving Parents, Family And Traveled The World.
Shorlty After Her Fifteeth Birthday, Her Perfect World Nearly Came To A End. They Had Taken Camp Outside A New Town, The Name Was Unknown To Them, They Stayed For Nearly A Week And They Found That The Majority Of The People Were Coming To See Kristina. Though Most For Her Talents As A FirePerformer There Was A Young Rich Merchants Son And His Thugish Freinds That Where There For Everyone Of Her Performances. She Did Not Notice The Hungry Way The Young Man Looked At Her, But Her Father Did As Did A Few Of The Other Male Performers Who Thought Of Her As There Little Sister. They Had Made It Clear She Was Well Protected To The Group For They Made Sure She was Watched Well. But As It Were Luck Was Not With Her One Day, She Chose To Go Down To The Nearby River To Wash , She Went Unnoticed Except By A Dark Looking Group In Black Robes. Once At The River Bank, She Didnt Hear The Rustle Of Robes Behind Her, She Didnt Feel The Blow To The Back Of Her Head...
Upon Waking Up , Her Ankles Were Bound And Seperated and Tied Down To A Large Slab Of Wood, Similar To A Torture Table. Her Arms Where Streatched Above Her Head By The Wrists, And Where Sealed In Metal Gloves So As She Couldnt Start A Fire. She Looked Around Groggily And Couldnt See Anything More Than Moving Shadows, She Began To Cry As She Relized She Was Naked. She Tried To Scream And She Couldnt For She Had A Peice Of Cloth Tied Around Her Head Tightly. She Could Breath But Wasnt Sure If She Wanted To As She Seen The Face Of The Young Man And His Several Freinds Appear Out Of The Darkness. She Let Out A Useless Scream, And The Next Ten Hours Where A Living NightMare Of Pain And Blood As The Violated Her Severly, She Passed Out Sometime In The Ninth Hour.. Her Last Thoughts Were Of Wishing Death Would Come Upon Her Swiftly.Awakened Three Days Later,In The Carvan Of Her Parents, She Was Dazed And Confused, All She Knew Was Her Father And Mother Looked Pale And Sick With Worry And Everyone Who Came Near The Caravan Acted Like There Was A Dying Person In There. But She Was Almost Dead When They Had Found Her At The Edge Of The River Bank. She Was So Badly Beaten Up Her Eyes Where Swollen Shut, She Could Barely Drink From A Busted Jaw As Well As Broken Ribs And Other Things That Relate To A Severe Beating And A Multiple Rape. Her Recovery Was Slow Almost A Year Before She Could See And Eat As She Did Before. It Wasnt Until After Her Sixteenth BirthDay Did Her Family Tell Her That The Young Men Where Found Dead In A Cavern About Thirty Yards Away From Where They Found Her , They Were Strangled By Thorny Vines And The Young Mans Head Was Squeezed From His Shoulders And Found On The Floor With A White Rose Growing Out Of His Silent Screaming Mouth.
She Was COnfused At Why They Told Her This, For She Had No Recolection Of The Events Of Those Ten Hours, All She Knew Or Thought She Knew Was That They Had Beaten Her Up Cause They Feared Her. All But Her Knew What Truly Happen. But They Said That They Believe She Was The One Who Told The Plants To Do That. She Laughed And Dissmissed There Crazy Notion, But They Persisted And Told Her To Will The Nearby Tree To Move , She Laughed Again And Humored Them, But She Wasnt Expecting The Trees Limbs To Bend Down And Knock Over The Strong Man Of The Group. After That They Had Her Training Tirelessly In Blade Work And In Fine Tuning her Abilities Of Fire And Plants. After Her 23rd BirthDay,Her Father Told Her That He Wanted Her To Leave The Group, She Thought Her Heart Was Going To Explode Right There. He Told Her It Was Cause He And The Group Loved Her, They Wanted Her To Become More Than A Gypsy. After Weeks Of Arguing About It She Conceeded To His Wishes, And Set Off Reluctantly On Her Own. She Met Up With Many Noble Persons Who Payed Her Well For Her Plant Skills And Her Fire Skills , Hiring Her For A Gaurd For Few Would Not Assume The Slip Of A Woman She Was Could Possibly Harm Or Protect Anyone. But She Did Perfectly.. And So She Went On Traveling To Where Ever The Roads Took Her, By Herself And Alone She Hoped That Soon She Would Find A Place She Could Call Home And Settle Down ....
