What if Uther had two wards? Everyone knows about Lady Morgana, but no-one knows about Lady Claire. What if Lady Claire was a knight of Camelot? And what if she was in love with Sir Leon? But she could never tell any-one.

Summary: true loves kiss and a fight for love

Overcoming death

Two days had passed since Claire's stabbing. She was none responsive for the sword had damaged an organ. A lot had happened within the two days; King Uther and his visiting king had disgusted a treaty of peace for the death of his son almost brought war upon Camelot, several attacks to small villages by bandits and a knight with a saddened spirit. Out of all of the people in the kingdom; Sir Leon, Uther, Arthur and Lady Morgana where the only ones who helped Gaius care for her (especially Sir Leon at night)

A loud scream came from Gaius's chambers at dawn on the third day. Claire had woken and was in pain. The King and Gaius tried to hold her down so she could be administered a potion to stop the pain. She could not keep still for it felt like she was on fire, her stomach was covered in blood and she started to froth from the mouth, for the sword was laced in poison. Morgana and Arthur rushed into Gaius's chambers to see what was wrong with Claire. They saw Uther holding Claire down as Gaius tried to administer a potion.

"Don't just stand there hold her down" Gaius yelled at Arthur.

"What can I do? I want to help" Cried out Morgana.

"See this plant here? I need you to go out into the meadow and get me more of this plant immediately"

"Yes of cause" replied Morgana

"And do hurry or Claire will die" Gaius said sadly calling out to Morgana

As Morgana left Gaius's chambers she saw knights standing outside. They were all curious to see what is causing the screaming.

"Don't just stand there get me a horse we need to leave now" screamed Morgana to the knights

Sir Leon was waiting in the courtyard with Morgana's horse and his.

"What are you doing, I only need one horse" cried Lady Morgana to Sir Leon.

"Claire is a knight and she would do the same if it was me" Replied Sir Leon holding back the tears

For deep down he loved her and he would lay down his life for Claire. Lady Morgana and Sir Leon road out as fast as they could to the meadow, Morgana looked endlessly for the plant.

"What exactly does the Plant look Like My Lady" asked Sir Leon

"It is a tall pale plant with a big yellow flower" Morgana replied.

"Over here I found it" shouted Sir Leon

"You did it, I can see why Claire fancies you, and I mean you're brave and caring" Morgana said softly without thinking.

Sir Leon was quiet until they Reached Camelot, until Morgana Heard him mumble "And I her but I cannot tell her for I am scared"

They rushed to Gaius's chambers with the plant. Gaius, Arthur and Uther had a look of sadness upon their faces.

"I am afraid we are out of time, the poison has affected her worse than I thought, and it is up to Claire now whether or not she makes it through the night" Gaius sadly told them.

Sir Leon sat in the corner watching people say their fare-wells to Claire. It was getting Dark when Sir Leon spoke up.

"Sire you should get some rest. I will watch over Claire and if anything happens I will inform you immediately"

The king wordlessly stood up and walked out the door. Leon slowly walked over to Claire's limp body. He had a tear rolling down his face as he held her close.

"You don't have to cry about it" Claire murmured

Sir Leon looked down at Claire; she was smiling up at him.

"I thought you were going to die and that I would lose you forever" Leon shakily replied

"I will go and get King Uther" Gaius said loudly

Sir Leon lent in and kissed Claire on the lips. She kissed him back and before they knew it they were in a long and passionate kiss, until Lady Morgana walked in.

"I told both of you so" Morgana said laughingly

King Uther raced in and Sir Leon stood up and walked out of Gaius's chambers. It broke Claire's heart to see the man she loved walk away. Claire nodded at Morgana as if to say "Go and find him." Morgana raced after Sir Leon. She eventually found him in the stables saddling up a horse.

Sir Leon cried out "I am a coward, I do not deserve her. She is strong and beautiful and..."

"And Claire loves you and you love her back. Everyone can see it when you look at each other even King Uther sees it" Morgana replied sitting down next to Sir Leon.

"It does not matter now, the damaged is done" Sir Leon replied.

"Not if you go back and apologies and explain your actions" Morgana quietly said.

Sir Leon stopped and turned to Morgana "You're right"

Morgana walked out with Sir Leon following behind her. They walked to Gaius's chambers. Lady Claire was sitting up explaining what had happened. How the prince pushed her into the empty room and tried to kiss her and take her purity. (Of cause Claire had to lie to protect her life) Claire looked up to see that Sir Leon was standing near.

"I wish to be moved into my chambers so I can rest" Claire asked politely.

"You are too weak to walk My Lady?" Gaius stated.

King Uther looked up at Sir Leon; he asked "Would you carry her?"

Sir Leon replied with a simple "Yes sire"

He carried Claire up into her chambers where he laid Claire down on her bed. She looked up at Leon and smiled he smiled back at her "I will leave you to rest My Lady"

"I am feeling strong enough to walk please, let me try?" announced Claire.

Leon moved out of her road and out his hand out and assisted her off the bed and on to her feet. Claire stood up straight and walked to her cupboard and opened it. Sir Leon was confused for he did not understand what she was doing.

"Help me dress Please Sir Leon" Claire asked again another favour

Sir Leon did not say a thing; all he did was help Claire undress. He saw her scare from the blade. Sir Leon also saw Claire's beautiful body. He moved closer to her, he pushed Claire up against the wall and started to kiss her. Sir Leon was Claire's first kiss. He moved down wards kissing her neck, slightly biting and sucking her soft skin. Leon had one of his hands up against the wall and the other holding her breast. She had never felt anything like it before. Claire let Sir Leon feel her body, without even thinking Claire had undone his belt and started to take off Leon's Chain mail. Sir Leon took off his shirt. Claire felt his muscular body under her finger tips, she wanted him so bad. Just then the door opened it was a young darker skinned serving girl came in. Sir Leon quickly pushed Claire behind the screen, Claire let out a squeal as she fell to the ground.

"My lady, are you alright?" the servant girl politely asked.

"Yes I am perfectly fine. Thank you" Claire struggled to reply because Leon was kissing and biting her neck.

"Would you like some help? My lady" asked the serving girl.

Struggling to keep her thought Claire replied "No I am perfectly capable of dressing myself"

In a quiet voice the serving girl asked, "Might I take your dirty clothes my lady?"

"If you must" Claire sighed.

"Yes of cause my lady" replied the serving girl as she collected the dirty clothes and left the room.

"I think I best be going, I don't think I want to be caught in your room like this" Sir Leon laughed as he gathered up his clothes.

"My Shirt it is gone, it was right here on the floor" Sir Leon started to panic.

"What do you mean gone?" Claire replied as she got her self dressed into a gown which was hanging on the screen.

"I mean it is gone, as in I think the maid took it!" Sir Leon panicked

"Here take this it looks to be about your size" Claire said whilst handing Sir Leon one of her training shirts.

"Thank you, Claire." he replied softly

"Now go before I call the guards on you" laughed Claire.

Sir Leon left the room. Claire walked over to her bed where an old cloak laid. She picked it up and put it away in her cupboard. Claire felt so alone now Sir Leon was gone.
