Merlin walked to the door, and I followed him. "Who are you gonna stick me with?" I asked.
"Who would you prefer, Gwen or someone around the castle?" he asked.
"GWEN!" I yelled. We went walking down corridors, and eventually we ended up outside the castle.
"Gwen's house is just there." He said, pointing at the little house. I nodded, and ran over, and knocked on the door. I heard a few footsteps, and the door opened to reveal Gwen.
"Hi Gwen! How are you?" I asked.
"I'm fine. Where are you here?" she asked me.
"Merlin has to work today and didn't want me bothering Gaius all day, so he said for me to ask to stay with you." I replied.
"Oh. Well, come in." She replied, slightly confused. She opened the door wider. I walked in.
"Wow! You have a lovely home!" I said. It was a cute little place. There was a table in the middle of the main part, and a small kitchen. A screen split off what I assumed to be the bedroom. It was a cosy little place. And it was also very close to the castle, which must be nice for Gwen. She didn't have to walk far when she was finished working.
"Thank you." She muttered sheepishly, blushing. I smiled at her.
"Do you need help with anything?" I asked. She nodded.
"Yes. Could you go to the water fountain and fill up this bucket?" she asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, sure! I passed it on my way to the castle last night. Just give me the bucket!" I said cheerily. She handed it to me, and I burst out the door, running to the water pump. I quickly filled it, and slowly waddled back to Gwen's house. It was quite heavy. I eventually reached her house. I put the bucket down and knocked on the door. She opened it and I picked up the bucket again and waddled in. "Anything else you need me to do?" I asked cheerily.
A few hours later, there was a knock on the door. It startled me. I got up and opened the door, peaking my head out. "Hello?" I said.
"Hi Alexa." Merlin said. I shut the door and turned to Gwen.
"It's Merlin. Should I tell him to leave?" I asked.
"Wasn't he coming to get you?" she asked.
"Oh, yeah." I said. I glumly walked to the door, and opened it. "Alright then, let's go." I muttered. I walked out the door, and towards the castle. Merlin stayed behind for a bit, talking to Gwen. I ran up the steps, and into the castle.
I couldn't remember which way I should go to get back to the Physician's chambers, so I just went on my own. After a while, I decided to just take a look at where exactly in the castle I was. I opened the door to my left. "Hello? Gaius?" I asked. I walked into the room. It was quite fancy.
"Who are you?" I heard someone ask to my left. I turned around, and saw a woman sitting on the side of her bed. I realised I must have walked into the Lady Morgana's chambers. My eyes opened wide in panic. I did the only thing I could think of, and gave a curtsy, and politely said
"Sorry mam, I must have the wrong room. I'm looking for the chambers on the court Physician. I apologise my Lady." I muttered, backing out of the room. I shut the door, and was about to start running when I heard the door open and someone grabbed onto the back of my coat. I froze, expecting to hear someone yelling at me for intruding. I slowly turned around. It was Morgana who had stopped me from running away.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"Ummm, I'm Alexandria my lady, and I was coming home from spending the day with Gwen, but I got lost." I replied, embarrassed. "But please call me Alexa." I continued.
"Well, if you would like, I could take you. I was just going myself." She said. I stared at her stunned. My mouth dropped open. I quickly snapped it shut.
"Yes my lady, thank you my lady." I muttered. We silently walked down the corridors to Gaius' chambers. When we arrived, I opened the door, to reveal a worried Merlin and Gaius. "Hello! I got lost, but Lady Morgana was kind enough to take me back." I said. Merlin didn't look to pleased.
"Why did you run ahead? Didn't you hear me tell you to wait?" he exclaimed.
"No, I didn't. Sorry." I muttered. It looked like Merlin was about to start yelling at me even more, when Morgana gave me a hug.
"Don't yell at her! All she did was get lost! And she was lucky she ran into me. I was on my way down here anyway." She said defensively. I immediately took a liking to Morgana.
"Thank you my lady." I muttered. I could feel myself start to blush.
"Please, call me Morgana." She whispered into my ear. I nodded.
"Thank you Morgana." I said. She let go of me and walked over to Gaius. They started to discuss some sort of remedy. I quickly shuffle walked to my room, and I tried to shut the door, but Merlin put his foot in the way. I groaned. I was going to be in for an earful. I opened the door and sat on my bed. "Please don't yell at me." I muttered.
"I'm not going to yell at you. Though I am quite mad." He said. I felt a wave of relief. "So, when Morgana leaves, we will start. Get ready for a bit of a walk." He said, turning around and leaving. He shut the door behind him. I got down on the floor, and picked up the loose board, and removed my book from under it. I picked up my back pack from the side of my bed, and put my book back inside it. So. Today I would start training properly.
I know it's late, (and the other one is kinda early) but MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! Please review and tell me what you! x
