Hey Guys! This is going to be an Arthur/OC. This is actually going to be the first story that I publish, so I might need some help.
Lucinda POV
I remember the first day I arrived in Camelot. It rained so much. It came down in sheets and my forest green cloak did not do me much good. My shoes were soaked through and I was sure that my bag was ruined. The sky was black in the late hours of the night, maybe early morning. I don't recall. I moved as quickly as I could to the looming gates.
"What is your business in Camelot?" A fairly large guard asked me.
"I have come to Camelot to visit my brother. He is an apprentice in Camelot." I responded from below my hood. The guard quickly looked from side-to-side, then back to me.
"Just be quick. We can't have a pretty thing like you getting a cold." He smiled to me. I gave a slight smile and a small bow before being on my way. I navigated the city quickly and found myself in front of a door with a sign on it.
"Court Physician" I whispered to myself. I raised my hand to the door and knocked.
I waited for a moment but I heard no answer. I knocked again but this time it was louder and lasted longer. I finally heard a bed creaking. An old man with very long white hair and a blue robe opened the door.
"Gaius?" I asked. I had never seen the man I person.
"My child, is that you?" He asked, eyes half closed and sleep still in his voice. "You were not supposed to arrive till morning."
I smiled "I'm early I guess." He laughed and ushered me in. He took my cloak and my bag.
"Well, I guess you won't be able to wear any of your things for a while. Take everything out and hang them in front of the fire." When I did what he said he led me to the back room. "Wake him. He may have some dry clothes you can wear."
I opened the door silently and tiptoed into the room. When the door was shut behind me, I took my chance. I pounced onto the lump on the bed and with a shout I said, "MERLIN! WAKE UP! AHHHHH!"
Merlin shot up and hit his against mine. 'Ow! Merlin!" He uncovered his forehead and eyes and looked at me.
"LUCINDA! You're here, and early. Not like you at all!" He gripped me in a tight hug. "You're also soaked!" He let go and pushed me off his dry bed.
"Oh right! I was wondering if you had any dry clothes that I could borrow till mine are done drying." He got out of bed and walked over to his amour. After riffling threw it he threw me a pair of beige short pants and a long sleeved red shirt.
"Turn around." I demanded. He turned with a sigh.
"You're early." He stated.
"You already said that." I responded pushing my head into the shirt. "I couldn't sleep in the rain, so I decided to finish my journey, and wake my dear brother from his beauty sleep." I finished tying the top of the shirt and threw my wet dress onto the back of merlin's head.
"Aye!" He shouted as he ripped the wet fabric from his head.
"Go hang that by the fire for me. Please?"
"You're lucky I love you, Lucinda, or else I wouldn't be doing this for you.' He walked from his room. "You take the bed. I'll sleep on the floor. "He shouted from the front room.
"Really? You don't have to." I responded. He walked back into the room with some extra blankets and laid them on the floor.
"Yes, I would not make my baby sister sleep on the ground." I placed my head onto the pillow and inhaled deeply. It smelled like my brother and that comforted me.
"Wait!" I shouted, "I'm not that much younger than you!" He laughed as he crouched down onto his makeshift bed.
"Good night, Lucinda." He whispered up.
"Good night, Merlin." I whispered back.
Alright so that's the first chapter! Sorry if it's short, but it's only really to set the story up. Please review!
