Warning: there is some vulgar language in this chapter. That is why this is rated T. Oh and I'm also not impressed with the stunning lack of reviews…please reviews guys, it raises my self esteem considerably. Well not really but still REVIEW! Oh and M. (yes you know who you are) I'm starting out with Garrett this time, any better?

And now back to our friends Jesse and Garrett….

Jesse was, as usual, quite annoyed. To him, it was Garrett's fault that they were tied to wooden posts in the middle of the village. Yet on the other hand Garrett thought it was Jesse's fault that they were about to be burned alive in the name of the king. However, if I were to choose sides, I would say that they were equally stupid.

"Wow this is not how I planned to die," Garrett said quietly.

"Uggh these ropes are too tight!" Jesse groaned in frustration.

"That's what she said." Garrett replied, laughing hysterically despite the dire situation.

"Look man, this is not the time!"

"Come on you set yourself up for that one." Garrett would have wiped his eyes if it weren't for the restraints.

"Any last words before being reduced to screaming like a girl?" Jesse asked Garrett dully.

"Um where should I start?" Garrett asked "Oh yes, I broke your iPod, killed your rare gold fish while you were on vacation, kissed your sister—"

"WHAT?"

Jesse struggled in his bonds fruitlessly to get to Garrett "You fucking bastard!" He shouted at him over and over again.

Garrett grinned "Ha ha you can't get me!"

Jesse eyes glowed gold. The post Garrett was on suddenly leaned sharply in to Jesse. He kicked Garrett in the shin, as hard as he could.

"Ow, okay I forgot about that little detail, "Garrett said in response to his now bruising shin "Now let's put our magic to use shall we?"

Jesse nodded "Birds?"

Garrett grinned "Birds" he repeated.

Garrett and Jesse both began to mutter the same identical spell. Suddenly they felt the bonds leave them, and for a single moment they felt their bone structures changing and their bodies shrinking. Both of them were suddenly little silver doves. They flew out in a hurry, meaning to get as far away as possible.

And back to the one you've all been waiting for ME!

Arthur's chamber looked, well medieval. That's my only description for it. Yes, I know what you are thinking, that's a pretty vague and obvious observation. In my defense, it was still pretty early in the morning for me.

"Rise and shine!" Merlin laughed walking in.

The mass hidden under blankets on the bed groaned. "Merlin go away!"

"Is that any way to talk when a lady is in the room?" Merlin grinned, I saw that he was enjoying this a little bit too much.

"Go away Merlin."

"Shall I?" I asked Merlin, gesturing towards the bed.

Merlin nodded. I promptly walked up to the bed and yanked every blanket off of it. Arthur tried to grab for his coverings but I held them out of his reach.

"Get up." I said simply, smiling cheekily down at him "Hello, new servant here"

"Merlin who's this?" Arthur demanded.

"This is Sasha, she's from my village" Merlin was laughing so hard that he was on the ground "She's a bit…much"

I smiled at this and neatly folded his bed clothes "Get up, get dressed, you're eating with your father this morning" I listed everything.

Arthur simply groaned and buried his head in his pillow. "And my work is done" I finished "Merlin I'm going down to the kitchen to get Gaius's crap"

I walked out the door. On the way out, I could hear Arthur's voice "Uh is she always like this?"

"I'm afraid so" Merlin laughed.

I stifled a giggle and started walking down the corridors. The castle was large, however it was not so large that I couldn't find my way down to the kitchens. After I took a load of basil up to Gaius, I began to wander the castle, so that I wouldn't get lost on an errand. I just got lucky this first time, usually I can't navigate my way out of a cardboard box, let alone a giant Medieval castle, that has been added onto, who knows how many times?

I sighed, and began to be lost in thought. Jesse and Garrett weren't close, I knew that much. Yet, I also knew they were coming. How could Merlin stand this place. No magic is just…so unnatural. Somehow he manages to live among these magic haters. I realized that I had no idea where I was.

A girl was scurrying past me "Oh hello, excuse me could you direct me to Gaius?" I asked her.

She stopped and turned. The girl, who was actually probably closer to a woman, had dark skin and dark curly hair tossed over her shoulder.

"Hello," She looked at me closely "Are you new?"

"Yeah, I'm Sasha"

"I'm Gwen, short for Guinevere" She smiled at me.

Guinevere! As in THE Guinevere? Awesome.

"Nice to meet you," I replied "I'm from Ealdor, I just came here to work"

"Oh do you know Merlin?" Gwen asked.

"Yeah" I replied "So I'm kinda lost, and I have no idea where I'm going…"

"Here, I'll show you the way"

I followed Gwen. The entire way we talked. She was pretty nice, in my opinion. For some reason I resisted the urge to comment sardonically. I hate what charismatic people do to me.

"Hi Gwen, oh Sasha good you're here, we're going hunting" Merlin said as I walked in.

"I thought little Camelot ladies don't go hunting," I raised my eyebrows.

"Arthur insisted, and I don't think you want to be in the castle all day"

"Great, when are we leaving?" I asked.

"I should go, nice to meet you, Sasha." Gwen ducked out of the room.

"Now," Merlin replied going out the door.

Hunting was, to say the least, interesting. I found myself riding a horse behind Arthur while Merlin rode a donkey behind me.

"I don't see why she gets a horse!" Merlin complained.

Arthur laughed. Even his laugh sounded stuck up in a way.

"Because, Merlin….well actually why do I get a horse?" I asked.

For the record, I must say that my previous encounters with horses didn't go well. When I was little I was thrown from a horse. I rode in the crusades, and yep, thrown from a horse. I tried to go horseback riding with a boyfriend, and the horse bit me. It was an understatement to say that I was uncomfortable on the back of a horse. It was made worse by the fact that I was forced to ride side saddle.

"Uh can we stop?" I asked. I wasn't about to announce that I was barely holding on. "I don't mean to be the girl here but yeah"

"Oh your such a girl" Merlin joked.

"I am one what's your excuse?" I retorted.

I jumped from the horse. Merlin did as well and Arthur was the only one who dismounted gracefully. I walked around, trying to get feeling in my thighs and butt once more.

"I think you fancy her," I heard Arthur say.

"No, um, no" Merlin stammered back.

"Any history between you two?" Arthur asked, in a teasing manner.

"Uh you realize I can here you two from here?" I announced to them.

Both men turned red. I laughed, but it was cut short by a not so cheery occurrence. A man pressed a blade up against my back.

"Don't scream" He hissed.

"Oh I was thinking of that exactly" I replied sarcastically.

He ignored me. "Walk forward, if you try anything I'll slit your throat" He then put the knife on my throat. One little change in blade positions and I would be dead. We walked at an excruciatingly slow pace. Merlin and Arthur were white. Arthur had drawn his sword.

"put your weapon down or she's dead." The man barked.

If it weren't for the knife pressed against my neck, I would have said something sarcastic at that. I mean couldn't they be a little more creative in my abduction.

"Don't hurt her" Arthur said warningly.

"Yeah really" I hissed. I suddenly took the arm with the knife and flipped him with force most people would find surprising. I took the knife from him, then with a hand on either side of his head and with one jerking motion, I snapped his neck.

Both Merlin and Arthur look surprised "What? I asked "It was totally self defense."

"Ya better think again lassie" Several raggedly dressed men came out around us. This was one of those moments where you say 'Oh crap'.

"Oh crap" I said looking around. I easily counted out ten fully armed men. "Anyone have any bright ideas?"

One man ran forward and tied my hands behind my back. I let him, watching as Merlin and Arthur got the same treatment. Brilliant. Why can't I go a week without finding myself in a hostage situation in a different time.

"I am Prince Arthur of Camelot, I order you to release me!" I heard Arthur shout.

"Dude, that's not gonna work" I shouted over my shoulder.

"Actually, we have no use for you Prince Arthur" One who seemed to be the leader said "What we want is them." The man pointed at both Merlin and I. Fear clenched my stomach. "Emrys and a powerful little witch, what a price they shall fetch."

"I'm sure there's a mistake" Merlin replied "My name's Merlin, and Sasha's not a witch."

The man laughed "Whatever you say"

"Well I say your a complete and utter fool for kidnapping servants to the Prince and not the Prince himself" I spat at his feet.

In hindsight that was probably not the best idea.
