Farmhand
New chapter every 1-5 days. I haven't seen anyone else write a fan novel from the farmhand's perspective, and I'm bored. So, here goes. 
Chapter 1
Arrival
The abrupt halt of the bus jerked me awake. My worn work boots click-clacked on the flagstones as I disembarked, backpack slung over one shoulder. Waving goodbye to Robin and Mayor Lewis, I turned down the path that lead to the farmer's residence.
I had heard of this person. She was the town hero, monster slayer and absolutely minted, from what I had heard.
I was quite intimidated just by the thought of her, if I was really being honest with myself.
My footsteps kicking up lazy swirls of dust, I rounded the corner.
And saw the farm.
It was huge.
Built like a city, giant barns and coops lined the perimeter, while equally large crop fields where interspersed here and there, each with iridium sprinklers equipped with pressure nozzles.
Not a tree was to be seen as I walked further into the labyrinth. It was clear where the farmer's wealth had sprung from.
In the center of the whole thing were 4 towering totems, each depicting a different kind of natural landscape, and a huge golden clock.
Making my way to the farmhouse, I saw rows and rows of strange machines that where whirring, buzzing, clanking and emitting blue light. As I passed, one of them stopped whirring, and spat out a diamond. A real diamond!
"You can keep it if you want."
I jumped and turned around.
There stood the farmer.
Tall, with dark hair and angular features, she wore a crisp brown suit, dusty jeans that hugged her legs, and boots with gold buckles.
"I have more than I know what to do with."
I blinked. "What?"
She looked at me with a cool, calculating stare that made me shiver.
"You can keep that diamond" She said. "Consider it my gift. I'm Ellie, you must be my new farmhand."
She half smiled at me, showing a dimple, but it was gone as quickly as it had come.
I wanted to see it again.
"This is where you'll be sleeping." Said the farmer, or should I say, Ellie, pointing to a modest little stone cabin.
"Fully equipped with a kitchen, bathroom and everything else you'll need. Help yourself to the fridge." She walked off to the farmhouse.
I muttered my thanks and hastily stumbled inside. Sweating, I collapsed onto the bed. She made me so nervous.
