Gwen
"Gwen, you are dismissed," Morgana said tiredly,getting into her silk white and purple bed, I bowed my head smiling
"Thank you, my lady" I smiled once more before picking up the dirty laundry and leaving the room, It had been a long day and all I wanted to is go to bed and sleep. As I walked down the narrow stairs I realised I had took a wrong turn. I shook my head furiously and walked back up the stairs,
"Guinevere!" a suprised sleepy voice said awakening me from my slight doze, I dropped the basket down by surprise
"My lord, I mean Arthur" I said feeling a wave of embarrassment flood my face, he smiled picking the basket of dirty laundry, "Oh no, My lord you can't"I tugged slightly but Arthur was insistent and stronger our hands touched slightly and i felt the hairs on my arms raise.
"Let me accompony you" he whispered
"I'm sorry Arthur but It is slightly risky" I smiled and felt a yawn coming I turned my face and yawned covering my mouth with my hand,
"Your tired, let me accompony you" he said again walking up the stairs with the basket, I ran after him
"How was your day?" Arthur asked,my breath stopped as I looked at him Questiongly
"Same as always, you my lord?" I asked feeling slightly less embarrased
"Guinevere, I'm carrying dirty laundry and your calling me my lord, and do you really want to know how my day was?" Arthur said stopping in front
of the Laundry vault and tipping the clothes in,
"Well I did ask" I whispered
"It was unbearble I was stuck in the same room as my father talking about strategy instead of staring or seeing your beautiful face" my breathing stopped and I blushed uncontrably,
"Arthur, someone could hear" I sighed smiling at him sadly, ever since the time I had been thrown into prison becuase of bewitching arthur when it had not been, I had to be careful around Arthur. Arthur sighed and smiled back, I blushed abit more but with only the light of the fire Arthur didn't seem to notice. His face was so soft against the firelight, we stared at eachother for a while, he picked my hand and kissed it tenderly.
"I must go," I said breaking the silence and gaze,
"Of course!" he exclaimed
Arthur
She was so unsure of our relationship. Yes! I was a Prince and King to be but I would change and do anything for her. She didn't understand. I walked away as she nodded and walked towards the gate of the castle towards her home. I wanted to walk with her and tuck her into bed with me, hold her hand and kiss those lips.
"Arthur, where have you been?" Merlins Irratating voice asked as I walked into my chambers
"I should be asking you that?" I snarled at him taking of my belt,
"OOH!" he gasped "well you see Gauis wanted me to do some errands but then I broke a flask of Morganas medicine bumping into a servant and then well I had to make it again" I looked at Merlin, and started laughing whilst he was picking my clothes
"Well, thats not hard to believe!" I said still laughing "and for that you are going to muck out the stables tommorow after your chores" he groaned and I got into bed
"Ok so can I go?" Merlin asked,
"Yeah" I said muffled by my cushoin,
Gwen
Well, it had been nice seeing a nice face after a tirsome day. Morgana seemed to be giving me endless jobs after my fake accusation and release of prison. I opened the door to my house and breathed in heavily happy to be home. When just then I stepped on a package. I flicked a candle on and looked at what I had stepped on. Opening it I saw a letter,
Dear Guinevere,
We will come to collect you at dawn tommorow. Pack some clothes and we will take you to where you belong. Make sure you wear the green cloak and head to the gates of Camelot so that my men can recognise you.
Love your mum

My breath stopped and I fell to the mother was dead?That was what my father had said. I got up slipping of my cloak and and climbing into my bed. This was all to much for me, but I had to go. If it was my mother...I couldn't sleep, I paced around packing my bag and cooking a meal I didn't touch. I cleaned my house hiding the valubles I couldn't take. I couldn't wake up Morgana and tell her I was leaving she wouldn't let 's best she knows nothing, Im not important enough for anyone to care about that I've gone missing. Dawn came and I slipped on the velvet green cloak, It was luxurious comapred to what I owned.
Arthur
I filled my mouth with egg's and looked around for Morgana,when she would enter so would Gwen. I talked to my dad about training and Morgana came in. With a different maid,
"Wher..."I stopped I couldn't ask any questions, Morgana looked at me slightly flustered,
"My lord I am sorry that I am so late, it's just that my maid can't be found anywhere!"Morgana said taking her seat
"Well then! you deserve better" My father said filling his mouth with bread and sausages,
"BUT THIS IS NOT LIKE HER!"Morgana said loudly "she always comes to work and she has been my maid for ages she knows everything about me!"
"Very well Morgana I will send 2 gaurds to search for her" Uther said signalling the servant to fill his goblet.
"2!" Morgana gasped
"OR NOTHING"he answered, Morgana nodded and didn't seem so distressed anymore. I excused my self and called for Merlin,
"Go to Gwens cottage and see what you can find" I said pacing around madly where was my love?
"Umm, she would be with Morgana and shouldn't you be keeping her and you a secret." I shook my head
"Shut up Merlin I'm asking you to do that because she isn't with Morgana." I sat down and waited.
Gwen
I walked up to the gate and saw two men, the spoke quietly between them before taking my arms and walking
"We are walking to the forest where a carraige awaits" One man said, I breathed in, this is wierd.
"Your mother will be so pleased"A younger voice said. I nodded. The carraige was big and deleicatly decorated telling peasents to back away and to not the help of one gaurd I was lifted inside where there were purple cushoins and seats. I gasped before sitting inside. This was comfiyer than my bed!
"It will be a long ride" The younger voice said. I was so shocked to say anything. I was to sleep well!
...
I woke up in a four poster bed with silk sheets. At first I though I had fallen asleep in Morgana bed but when I looked around I saw that the room was different in shape and colour. A maid who was sitting on a comfy seat had dozed off. I didn't know where I was, but I sure was happy. I got out of bed and walked around the room touching the jewelry and clothes. There were gowns more delicate and beautiful than the ward at Camelot.
"My lady, I am sorry to have slept, please forgive me, don't report me." I stared at the maid shocked
"I'm sorry but why are you calling me my lady" The girl shook her head and lead me out to the corridor all the men and women passing my bowed there heads.
The maid knocked on a pair of grand wooden doors and they opened. There in the middle at the end stood a women with straught black hair and familiar eyes,
"Welcome to your future Kingdom my beautiful Daughter" The lady said striding in her green dress which looked great against her dark skin.
