Hey guys, so until I get anymore ideas for my other stories. This is a story based off of a role play, I'm on and I hope you like it. I DO NOT OWN MERLIN! Although I wish I did.
Helaine's POV
I was doing my daily chores in Cenred's castle; even though I hated it here I had work to do. Cenred did not treat the people well here. I don't know why he was keeping me here, I wasn't a sorceress, I don't know anything about magic! I don't think you could even call me a servant…I was more like a pet to Cenred. I was cleaning the floors, when I heard a knock at the door.
"Come in." I said loud enough for the other person to hear on the other side of the door. I stopped what I was doing, when I heard the person enter and looked up, it was Juliana.
"Helaine, Cenred is asking for you. He said it was urgent." Juliana said urgently. I nodded and got up off the floor and went to the throne room door and knocked.
"Enter." I heard Cenred say, I went in and curtsied to Cenred. "You wanted to see me milord?"
"Yes, I'm sorry to say this. But I'm afraid you are no longer a servant to me." I was shocked.
"What?" I asked.
"You are no use to me anymore. You are no longer my servant. Now, if you excuse me. I have matters to attend to." He said as walked away and out of the throne room. I was left in shock, no longer a servant? I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the news. I finally pulled myself together and went home.
"Mother? I'm home." I saw a note on the table and went over to it. Helaine I have gone to the market I'll be back soon.
I sighed and looked into the little side mirror we had and I saw myself staring back at me. I always had thought of myself being plain, well I am after all just a brown hair, brown eyed girl, fair skin, skinny, and a skilled archer. I never knew my father, he was murdered when I was a little girl, and I don't remember much about him, just vague memories. My mother said I look a lot like my father. I was pulled out of my thoughts as I heard my mother come in.
"Helaine, what are you doing back so early?" My mother asked. My mother's name was Helen. She was beautiful, blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and skinny.
"I am no longer Cenred's servant." I told her.
"Why not? Did he let you go?"
"Yes. I don't know why. He didn't tell me."
"Helaine, there's something I need to tell you. Your father is not dead. Your father is Cenred."
"What? You lied to me? Cenred will never be my father." I spat, furious that she never told me this before.
"Helaine, please listen." My mother pleaded.
"No. Are you even my mother, or did you lie about that to?" I went outside and grabbed my archery supplies, and my horse, Daisy. I got on Daisy, and started riding. I didn't care where I was going, nor did I care. I just had to get away. I realized my horse was going toward Camelot. I had heard that Camelot was better than Cenred's land. When Daisy and I got to Camelot. I stopped in the woods to get Daisy and myself a drink, before continuing on.
I got back on Daisy, and continued on. I saw Uther's Kingdom, from where we were and urged Daisy on, but suddenly she got spooked and threw me off. I flew backwards and hit a tree and hit my head on a rock, the last thing I saw was Daisy running off, and then blackness. When I awoke, I tried to find Daisy, but she was nowhere to be found, so I continued on foot. It was getting dark and I was sure I was lost. I heard a twig snap somewhere near where I was. I tried not to panic, but was failing miserably.
"Who's there?" No answer. "I know someone's there." Again, no answer. "I am a skilled archer, and I'm not afraid of you." At that I saw a dark figure, a person came out of the bushes, but I didn't see who it was as the world went black once more.
I hoped you like it. It was a probably a crappy chapter, but it will get better I promise.
