Facing the consequences

Arthur was running around in circles trying to put out the fires that surrounded the city of Camelot. The Great Dragon had been attacking for two nights now and it showed no sign of giving up.

'Evacuate the square!' A knight shouted and Arthur looked up, horrified at what he saw. The dragon was swooping lower and lower and it would soon be upon the square. It was all chaos as citizens ran for cover and knights grabbed their swords and prepared to strike. Arthur was running to join them when a figure caught his eye. He looked around already knowing what he would see.

Guinevere

He knew what she must be doing. Collecting water from the well. Arthur always knew she wanted to help at the first sign of trouble but he never expected her to do this. He knew the hospital must be getting low on water but he also knew Gauis would never let Gwen risk her own life. Then it hit him. She always was too stubborn for her own good. If the situation hadn't been so serious he would have rolled his eyes.

Sudden screams around him bought him back to reality. He looked up to see the dragon growing closer and closer. Then he looked back to Gwen who was in the middle of the square pumping the water out the well. It took him a few seconds to realise what was going to happen. He didn't have time to think. Before he knew what he was doing he yelled across the square:

'GUINEVERE!'

She looked around startled by the sound of her name. Her eyes met the sky before they reached him. Her eyes widened at the dragon that was swooping down on her. She couldn't run she was frozen from fear.

Arthur stood there waiting for her to move. When she didn't he could only think how terrified she must be.

Picking up the last strength he had he ran with all his might to the girl he'd loved for so long and the girl he was willing to die for.

Gwen was frozen to the spot and her eyes could not focus on anything apart from the dragon. It was getting lower and lower and she couldn't help but think how defenceless she looked. She prepared herself for the worst and death until she felt something smash into her and her body seemed weightless in the few seconds she was in the air before she was slammed down onto the cobblestones below her. She was looking around wildly but her head was pushed down again as the dragon zoomed above them. After what seemed like ages a soft voice whispered in her ear.

'Are you alright?' It whispered. She sighed it was the only person she wanted to be with at this moment in time. Arthur. She tired to nod but her head was so stiff and something was trickling down it.

'Guinevere?' Arthurs voice was concerned. He looked at her and when their eyes met everything was forgotten. The battle was gone and it was only them. Until Gwen gasped with pain and they were knocked out of their day dream.

'Oh god I am so sorry Gwen!' Arthur was fussing. 'Your head is a mess! I really should have thought of that before I slammed you into the cobble stones!'

'Arthur its fine! We need to get out of here' She replied. Arthur nodded and helped her to her feet.

It was then that something happened that would haunt Arthur until the day he died.
