I do not own anything...blablabla...characters belong to BBC...blablabla...except Mary who is my own invention...blabbla...no suing... Takes place quite a time after Arthur becomes a king (maybe like a year or so, maybe few months, you can decide) but does not acknowledge/include or simply just happens before the episode "Lancelot Du Lac"
I knew I shouldn´t do it. It was wrong. It was bad, unforgivable. I was betraying a friend. A great friend and one of the kindest and most loyal people I had ever met.
Yet I did it. I crossed the line, a line I thought I would never cross. I had done a lot of bad things in my life. Some of them I regretted. But never before had I done something like this. This time I had really messed up.
Her name was Mary. She moved to Camelot after her village was attacked by the Dorochas. I was smitten by her, which was rare for me. I was used to simply just flirt with women, maybe have some fun if they were interested, and then leave. But I really liked Mary. However I wasn´t the only one who fell for her .
We lay in silence on her bed after having betrayed someone we both loved. Someone who had trusted us. How misplaces that trust had been.
The door to Mary´s chamber opened and someone quietly called Mary´s name.
My stomach turned when I saw who it was.
Guinevere.
The look on her face was like a stab in the heart. The look of shock, sadness, horror, disbelieve, and eventually anger and disgust.
"How on earth...," the anger and resentment in her voice made me think of a knife for some reason. A big, sharp one.
"How could you do this,"
"Believe me," I wanted to say "I am asking myself the same thing,"
Gwen just shook her head with contempt written over her face and tears beginning to run down her face. Then she turned around and closed the door behind her.
If it had been possible, then her words would have made me feel even worse then I already did.
Mary lay sobbing beside me. I could tell she was fighting her tears and I wondered if she tried to restrain them because of my presence, or because she felt like she didn´t deserve to cry
I had done it. I had slept with the woman Merlin was with. The woman he was in love with.
Well done Gwaine. Nice way to ruin your life.
I honestly don´t believe Gwaine would ever do this, but I wanted to write a story about it, to see how it would turn out like, and because I thought it was interesting. And frankly I just couldn´t get the idea out of my head. I also wanted someone close them both to catch him doing it. It was supposed to be Arthur at first, but then I tried out with Gwen. Maybe I will write a similar story with him finding out instead of Gwen. Boy, if that would be done on the show. Wow. Anyways, please review, weather it is to correct my grammar or my spelling (still there shouldn´t be any errors as I´ve reread it and used a spell-check program, but still, there could be) or criticise my writing style or anything like that, or simply just to say if you like it. Do you think it is well written, or is the phrasing all awkward and bad?
