I threw my hand up to shield my eyes from the brilliant sun

I threw my hand up to shield my eyes from the brilliant sun. I just basked in its warm rays. I closed my eyes when I heard my name being called. I didn't move from my spot, nor did I ponder who was calling my name.

"Lena, we have to get back to the wall. The sun will be setting soon. You have to come, even if I drag you." I just rolled my eyes as I began to stand up and straighten my skirts.

"Tyne, you always worry to much about nothing that needs worrying." I just glared at her after the statement and started my journey back to the wall.

We just talked and laughed as we made our way back to the village. We hardly gave a thought to where our feet were leading us.

"Lena? Are you starting work at the Tavern tonight?" Tyne questioned me as we made our way towards the Tavern.

"I would not be walking there if I wasn't working. Vanora told me to be there at sun down." I picked up my pace a little, just so I could get there before the sun set.

"Did I tell you I was talking to Vanora earlier, she told me the knights arrived back late last night." I stopped dead in my tracks, just a stones throw away from the Tavern.

"Oh come on Lena, your not truly scared of a couple of Knights?" She was holding back laughter. "Oh, wait I forgot you think they are womanizers." With that she burst in to a fight of giggles.

"Tyne, it's the truth, the whole lot of the Sarmatian Knights are a lot of womanizing pigs. Except for the strange quiet one who sits in the corner of the pub. He is just scary." I just laughed and walked back to the bar when I heard a voice that stopped me dead in my tracks.

"Dear maid, have I or any of my brothers offended you in anyway?" I turned to look at the culprit who had ease dropped on my conversation.

"I am sorry knight, but I don't know your name, so I truly can not reply."

"Lancelot. May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?"

"Well then Lancelot, my name is Lena. The only displeasure I have with you and your friends are that you treat me as a piece of meat. Now if you will please excuse me, I must get to work." With that, I turned on me heal and walked over to the Bar and Vanora.

"Girl, you shouldn't be so hard on them, ale and woman is all they have. If you don't want them then ignore them, give them their food and ale. Just don't be cruel." I nodded. I always liked Vanora, she was the lover of Bors, one of the knights. "Now, here is a pitcher of Ale, it looks like Lancelot, Gawain and Galahad need their cups to be filled."

I grimaced and walked over to the Knights table and began to fill Lancelot's mug before they took notice of me.

"Well milady you have come back to badger us about being pigs?" I looked to see a younger knight, curly dark brown hair with a gleam in his eye.

"Sir," My teeth were gritted, while I plastered a fake smile on my mouth. "You just merely over heard a conversation, I never badgered." After filling all of their cups, I caught the eye of another knight. While looking at him and walking away the pitcher of Ale slipped between my fingers and smashed on the hard ground.

"Shit." I murmured as I began to pick up the remnants of the pitcher. After picking up most of the large pieces I ran to the bar and hid. I slumped down behind the bar. I can't do this. I didn't know that my fists were clenched until right hand began to sere in pain. I looked down to see that I had cut my self on a chunk of the Pitcher.

"For the gods sake what else can go wrong this night?"

hey, I know this is super short. I just wanted to get everyones feet wet. The posts should be coming faster and much longer.
