Chapter four

They all ran off into the woods following Orlen back to the house most likely. I just sat there wondering why Orlen would put his and Morgan's life on the line for some strangers, but then I remembered he did the same thing for me. He risked his life when he told Ba'al not to kill me, that he would let me live with him on a 24hour period. I have never known why he did that, but I'm glad he did.

After I knew they were out of sight and hearing distance I made my way back to the house where Orlen may have taken the strangers. I had no idea what I was going to do when I got there, but I did know one thing. I was not going to let my knife leave my side.

My white dress was revealing but it didn't reveal my knife. I was wearing a long white dress that floated along the floor when I walked, it had two long slits on each side going all the way up to my thighs so it was easy to manoeuvre and fight when needed. The dress came up to the top of my breasts, slightly showing them off. Apparently the men here thought that it would be a good idea to design all of the women's clothes like that, I did not agree.
My dress didn't cover my shoulders but it did cover all the way down to my elbows, my back was also not covered very well, it showed half of my back, which by now by mainly scared. It was not a very attractive sight in my opinion. But it was comfy and did the job, or half the job anyway. But at least it hid my knife from strangers eyes.

Satec was not fond of going back to the house, he thought they were dangerous and was going to get us killed, or worse. He was rarely right but about this he did have a point. I didn't know them and the guards were out here looking for them, if I was found with them I could end up in a room with Ba'al, and that was something I did not want. I don't think we could spend another session with him, I'd rather die. But Orlen trusted them enough to take back to our house, which had to count for something, right?

"No, it doesn't, Orlen is a fool and will trust anyone!"Satec shouted inside my head, hatred filled his words as he thought of how trusting Orlen could be. He believed it to be reckless and stupid, everyone has their opinion I guess but I was just stuck with his and there was nothing I could do about it.

"He trusted us, that is good enough judgment for me" I replied out loud and started walking in the direction of the house, my weapon was ready just in case they decided to come back, or if any Jaffa thought to stop for a chat.

Just as I thought Orlen had taken the strangers to the house, I edged around to where the window in the sitting area was, thankfully it was open and I could hear most of what they were saying.

"He is such a fool, I hope you know this." Satec hissed in my head, if he was in a body I could imagine him spitting those words at me.

"Oh shut it Satec, you are no better." I replied. He was starting to pee me off with all of his stupid remarks about Orlen, he wasn't as soft as he looked. He could protect himself when needed.

I creped my way to the edge of the window, just close enough so I could hear what was being said. Which was not much right now, it was mostly the group leader asking Orlen and Morgan who they were and why were they helping them. I was more than ready to hear the answer to the second question, I did not even know why he was helping them.

"I will answer the questions shortly, my friend. All you need to know for now is that we are helping you and we are not going to turn you in to the guards. But you do know us, especially you Daniel." Morgan answered, I could imagine her now looking at 'Daniel' with a slight smirk on her face and a sly look, making people think that she knew everything and they knew nothing, which was basically the situation here but they did not know that. But how did they know them? When did they ever meet each other? Not in my time here obviously.

The one named Daniel replied in a confused voice "I know you? How do I know you?" The confusion in his voice was actually quite sweet, he sounded innocent and curious. I realised from the voice that the one talking, Daniel was the young good looking man with the strange things on his face.

Morgan stepped closer to the window, I reluctantly shrunk deeper further away from the voices. "You once knew me as Morgan La Fay, I was an associate of Merlin?" I could just imagine the look of amusement on her face as she played with him and his memory.

"Morgan?! Oh my god" he laughed, I could hear him step closer and closer to the window as he walked to Morgan to hug her.

"I can't believe I didn't recognise you" He spoke through a smile as he finally found someone he knew in this situation.

"And this is Orlen, although he was in a child's body when you met him" she smiled, she was enjoying this way too much and she knew it.

"Wait a minute, Orlen as in Carter's Orlen?" Another voice piped in, this sounded like the leader, what did he mean Carter's leader? And how did he know my last name?

"I guess you could say that, although I was Samantha's Orlen a long time before that, before I was a child." Orlen replied in an awkward voice, why did he feel awkward about being my Orlen and what did that even mean, before he was a child? I needed to know what was going on in there and ask my own questions.

"I thought you died?" The leader replied, a bit of jealousy in his voice for some reason. Why would he sound jealous when I don't even know him. Well obviously he knew me somehow.

"They wanted me back." Orlen answered back, he seemed quite smug when he said it, as though he believed they needed him back, they couldn't have anyone else, only him.

"Who wanted you back? And why?" The leader replied, anger raised in his voice, as none of his questions were getting answered in full. He wasn't getting the information he wanted and he didn't like it. Nor did I and I was tired of listening to bits of a conversation that had no interest to me. It was time to go in and ask some questions of my own.
