Chp 2

Hawke struggled against the hand that had grabbed her only shield against the cold of the night, which ironically could lead to her undoing. Hawked turned for a moment to see her captor, he was painted in a blue paint and had symbols drawn over his body. A Woah one of the men had called them, but she wasn't gonna wait to find out one way or another. She then turned and lifted her leg and kicked the Woad in his stomach causing him to loosen his grip and Hawke maneuvered out with her blanket still wrapped around her. The man let out a strangled cry as she began to move away from him, and was able to survey the others and saw all of fighting.

Two had been thrown off their horses and were now slicing through the Woads as butter. Hawke's attention was brought to the sky as she heard a noise and saw something flying above her which was enough of a distraction that the man grabbed her once again and his hand was over her mouth to prevent her from screaming and she then saw the man had a knife

'like hell' Hawke thought and then bit into the man's hand and brought her kneed up and kneed in where the sun don't shine "hope you didn't want kids" Hawke said as the man crumbled to the floor and she took off running, more of a limp run because of her ankle away from the battle.

After a few moments of running she heard horse's coming behind her and just her luck she slipped and fell to the ground with a large thud causing her to cry out in pain. One of the larger men with a shaved head had gotten off his horse and walked slowly to her.

"your injured" he said and Hawke looked at him as she sat up and wrapped her blanket tighter around her "I'm Dagonet" Hawke eyed his suspiciously as she drew nearer "you must be cold, let us help you"

"Dagonet speaks the truth m'lady" the leader said from on top of his horse " I am Arthur, leader of the Sarmatian knights"

Hawked looked around at the other men as Dagonet approached her and helped her stand but then picked her up that surprised her, making her jump a little.

"we don't need you to injure your ankle further" he said

"may we ask you name" Arthur said as Dagonet brought you over to his horse and gently set you upon it

"Hawke, my name is Hawke" she said as she felt Dagonet get on behind her as the wind blew causing her to shiver and pull the blanket closer.

"Hawke hmmm" a man said "an unusal name for a women" and smiled at Hawke.

"these are my men, Gawain, Galahad, Bors, Lancelot, and our scout Tristan" Arthur said gesturing to each man

Hawke looked at each man and realized the one's horse she almost ran into was Tristan's horse.

"here you look cold" Gawain said and then from his horse handed her a cloak

"thank you" Hawke said and wrapped it around her as they set off.

A few minutes had passed and Hawke surveyed her surroundings as they came closer to a big wall. Hawke was thoroughly confused on how running from someone at her apartment complex had caused her to apparently to show up in a much earlier time.

'or maybe you just smacked your head and your in a crazy dream with a bunch of handsome men' Hawke thought to herself which caused her to let out small chuckle 'yea but in dreams you don't really feel pain'

"something amusing" Dagonet said which caused her to slightly jump

"oh no just thinking of something funny is all" Hawke said softly to the man behind her "can you tell me where we are going?"

"Hadrian's wall" Dagonet said as they got closer to the wall slowing their horses down.

"thank you" Hawke said as she saw the wall that she had only knew of from her brother going to England for school about 2 years ago. 'he'd go bat-shit crazy if he knew I was here' she thought to herself.
