A.N: Hello everybody, this is my first FanFic so people with standards may want to turn back now whilst you still can, the main character for this story was inspired by DEfyGRavity95 (for future reference forget everything you know about Morgana and Gwen…they aren't featured in this story) I hope you all like it. The pairings for this are Arthur/OC, Gwaine/OC with a hint of Merlin/OC at the very end. (Oh, and Kilgharrah gets lunch)
chapter 1- From coursework to Camelot
Abigail Rebecca Sanderson was a perfectly normal girl (lies,lies,lies) despite the occasional clueless git who asked her out and the 'occasional' fight she would have with her best friend. Yet, however rocky her life got, getting sucked into a random dusty old library book and into an Arthurian legend was quite a new one.
Abigail had been sat in her sixth form canteen feeling very very bored; all her friends had buggered off to do coursework. Even her creepy stalker had better things to do than hang out with her. So, feeling slightly hacked off she walked sulkily to the library to find a book. After having narrowly dodged an encounter the school librarian who had the temperament of a thoroughly shaken wasp, Abby made her way over to the classic fiction section expecting to find some Jane Austen or Bram Stoker instead she found an illustrated version of 'the Adventures of Camelot'.
"Shouldn't this be in the children's section?" she thought to herself tensely, remembering her best friends love for this story she realised she must have misplaced it the last time she had insisted on pulling it from the shelf with an excited and unnatural squeal. She internally cursed her friend's unorganised attitude before flipping the book open absentmindedly. She knew the story practically of by heart now; she turned to a page with her favourite illustration of an enormous amber coloured dragon with large green eyes. She stared at the drawing for a moment until the colossal eyes flashed red for a split second and she felt a penetrating wind all around her. The library faded from sight and she dropped the book without noticing. She felt as if she was flying but she still couldn't hear, see or feel anything that is until she landed on the hard ground with a great thud.
Her arms fell to her sides and her eyes remained clenched shut, she began to claw at the surface beneath her but rather than the synthetic carpet of the library instead she could feel cool blades of fresh grass caressing her fingertips. Steadily she opened her eyes and stared unbelievingly up at the brilliant blue sky. As her peripheral vision came into focus she realised that she was laying in an enormous field with a thick row of trees in front of her the sun blazing down harshly on her unprepared eyes. Although she was still a little too scared to move she shifted into a sitting position and ran her hand through her tangled mass of chocolaty brown hair, on the opposite side of the field there stood an enormous stone citadel from which she could see someone emerging. As the figure drew closer she could make out that it was a man in his very early twenties, he was rugged and quite good-looking with an unshaven stubble and a slightly hung-over look in his eye.
"Are you alright miss?" he asked in a concerned thick accent "what happened?" Abby attempted to articulate the story but then it occurred to her that she had no idea what had happened one minute she was in the stuffy old library and the next she … wasn't, the young man waited for a moment before speaking over her choked silence "you shouldn't be out here all alone there are bandits round here, I'll take you back to the city, I'm sure the king will give you somewhere to stay in the castle, I'm Gwaine by the way. And you are?"
"Abby" she replied quickly finding her voice again and clambering to her feet, only now did the two truly notice one another, Abby was taken aback to realise that this Gwaine person was wearing authentic medieval chain-mail, whereas Gwaine saw a young rather pretty girl standing in trousers and a black tunic that bore the inscription 'I survived Twilight!'. Nevertheless they thought better than to directly ask one another about their strange apparel instead Gwaine made a gesture for Abby to follow him and began to lead her back to the great stone citadel.
