Rose gasped as she stepped out of the TARDIS. The sun shone in a meek fashion, peering out from behind the clouds. She starred at the city before her, the giant towers of the main castle stretching up into the sky. Some trees and also the large walls surrounding the citadel obscured her vision, but she was able to see a few guards positioned on top of the wall.
The Doctor stepped out of the TARDIS behind her, a grin prominent on his face as he took in the city. He turned to Rose and shared her excited laugh as they started walking through the trees around them. There was a small group of trees every few feet, but the forest was empty enough so that they could walk through it without any impediment. A few minuet's walk through the peaceful woods lead them to a small rock figure sticking out from the side of a slight hill. There was a metal gate in front of a tunnel that seemed to go on for ages towards the city. Rose walked up to it and briefly shook the metal bars before turning to the Doctor.
"Go up front or enter through here, what do you reckon?" She said, knowing that whatever he chose it would be wonderful. She trusted him wholeheartedly.
"Well," He said, twisting his head and thinking for a split second. "We could go through the front, but between you and me, the front gates are a long way away, and this looks a bit more fun." He grinned and lifted up his coat to take out his sonic screwdriver while approaching the passageway. He pointed the silver and blue device at a small lock. It emitted a piercing buzzing sound before the metal lock clanged and the gate swung open. Rose slowly pushed the door open all the way.
"Excuse me!" said a small voice from behind them, they turned immediately, Rose feeling quite guilty that they had been sneaking around. The Doctor was acting natural, but shock shone in his eyes as he addressed the girl before them.
"Hello!" Said the Doctor, his shock breaking into a relaxed smile. The girl was in exactly the sort of outfit rose would have expected from a medieval girl, as she was wearing a long light green dress and her brown hair was up in a bun.
"Do you mind telling me where I am?" she asked, now that Rose was really looking she could tell that the girl had been walking quiet a bit, her shoes were raw and her dress had traces of mud along the bottom.
"This is the city of Camelot, nothing to do with a camel, really. Which is good because I really can't stand camels, one once spit on me, haven't liked them quiet the same ever since. I prefer horses, or perhaps elephants. I'd very much like to ride an elephant one of these days. I'm the Doctor by the way, and this is my friend Rose Tyler. Who are you?" he said, thinking far ahead of his words and yet speaking so quickly.
"I'm Enid, I come from one of the border towns. I need King Arthur to send some knights, we've been attacked." Her voice was small and apologetic. She stumbled towards Rose, and Rose stretched her hands out to help her. Enid accepted it graciously."I'm sorry, I've just walked all this way. It's terribly exhausting."
"Doctor, should we help her to the main gate?" Rose asked, concerned for their new companion's health, she was looking a bit pale.
"No, no. It will be quicker this way, and she will be able to see the king right away." He gave Enid a slight comforting smile and propelled himself into the dark tunnel. Rose followed quickly behind, helping Enid along as they descended into the unknown of Camelot.
Thank you for the lovely reviews! I LOVE YOU ALL.
