ARTHUR'S POV

I crept down the steps to the dungeons, I glanced behind me to catch Leon's eyes. He looked worried, but we had to do this. Leon quickly shifted behind the guards and hit them on the head. They would be fine, just a slight bang. I swiftly moved to the cell where Sophia was being held. I took one of the keys from belt and flung the iron door open. I walked towards Sophia, whilst Leon guarded the door to the dungeons. She was laid on the floor so I went and but my hand on her shoulder, she didn't even flinch, she knew I was there. I pulled her to her feet, she leaned on me.

"What are you doing?" she whispered in my ear.

"You don't deserve this, it's not the first time my father has been wrong" I explained, whilst walking to the entrance of the cell. She was very weak, what had the guards done to her? I had to half carry her up the steps, when we got to Leon, was looking at her concerned.

"Is she alright?" he asked, puzzled at her condition. Then, in the light of the torch Leon carried, I saw her properly. Her face was dirty, a long red line down her left cheek, still bleeding and she was shaking. I loosened my grip on her arms and looked at them, her dress was torn and mucky, and her arms were covered in bruises.

Leon was looking too, his expression must have mirrored my own, anger and sadness. He then past the torch to me, and bent down and picked her up. She was still shaking even as we made our way out of the castle and towards the old gates. Elyan and Lancelot were there waiting for us. "It's okay, I can walk now" Sophia said to Leon who was about to hand her over to Lancelot. "Thank you" she said to us.

"Be careful" I said and kissed her on the cheek, Leon did the same.

GWAINE'S POV

Me and Percival were waiting at the edge of the woods near Camelot's walls. The plan was simple, ride out and hide in the woods until the battle. Gwen and Merlin would give her everything she needs and Lancelot would escort her to us. We waited there about an hour, and then we heard the bells, it was discovered that she was missing. It took another ten terrifying minutes before we saw anything. Then we saw two figures in the darkness. They were here.

I ran towards them, Sophia's eyes were frantic she looked so scared and she was battered. I looked at her, deep into her fearful eyes and I grabbed her and pulled her into my arms, picking her up.
"Thank you" she said to Lancelot as he drifted into the shadows.

I mounted my horse with Sophia in my arms, Percival already on his and we rode deep into the dark forest.

OKAY, THANK YOU FOR READING AND PLEASE R+R :)XX
