Alexander crawled into his sister's bed, shivering as the cold air tried to bite his skin. "Can you tell me a story" he whispered. Beatrice sighed "Can't you get Merlin to do it..." she began before her little brother cut in
"No. dad says Merlin has enough to do looking after us and that he needs to sleep." He retorted bossily. She was about to abject but saw the tears begin to well in her brothers eyes "ok ok ok " she admitted defeated, propping herself up against her pillows. "Ready, ok let's begin. There was once a young prince called…Alex who lived in a big castle in a land far away." She began
"Can I be called Camelot" he said quietly, wiping his eyes on the blanket
"Yes ok. Who lived in Camelot. He had a friend called Geoffrey, who lived with him, protecting him from and evil witches." Beatrice smiled as she watched Alex stare at his teddy bear clutching it tightly. "And they had the bestest dad in the whole wide world who looked after him. But the dad was very busy because he was a king and had lots of work to do. So sometimes he left his trusty friend merlin to look after them. Merlin was funny and kind but also very busy. One day ..." she continued slowly not really knowing where her story was going and hoping he would be asleep before she had to think of an ending. "They went ridding in the woods on their ponies. Alex had a black horse called Lorenzo and Geoffrey had a white horse called Signet, their sister was riding with them too. On her golden sandy stallion called Angel. They rode and rode and rode until they found a beautiful meadow where they had a picnic" she stopped for a minuet as she watched Alexander's eyes droop, and he was gone. "Night night "she whispered and carried him back to his own room which was along the corridor. Merlin watched from the open door of the wash room at the loving scene before him, smiling at his best friends children.
