"Again, sorry the three of you have to share a room, and with only one bed it might be a little uncomfortable, but… Uther's orders unfortunately." Gwen said as she fixed the bed spread, giving a sad little smile to the Doctor and Clara.

The Doctor smiled kindly and shook his head. "No, it's fine. I don't really sleep, and knowing Bree, she'll probably stay up all hours of the night writing then sleep in the afternoon; nothing to apologize for. You're just following orders." He said as he stood near the arm chairs and cold stone fire place.

Gwen returned the smile as she straightened up and smoothed out her skirts. "Thank you." She said as she walked around the bed towards the front of the room. "Sorry, but I have to go help Morgana, so I'll have to leave you alone now." She explained apologetically. Then she looked to Clara. "You could come meet her if you'd like; I'm sure she wouldn't mind." Gwen invited her.

Clara looked at Gwen with a wide eyed excitement before looking to the Doctor with a wide smile; looking for permission. The Doctor simply just waved his hand in a way to tell her to go explore, and with a wide smile, Clara jumped off the bed and walked over to Gwen. "Alright." She said excitedly. The two women smiled at each other before heading to the door. "See you later Doctor!" Clara called to the Doctor as she walked out of the room, closing the door behind her. "So…" Clara started, smiling at Gwen before a voice from down the hall made her trail off in a groan.

Both Gwen and Clara turned to face the other direction where they saw Bree quickly walking towards them, her black ankle boots peeking out from beneath her layered skirts as she walked. "Hey you two!" she chirped with a grin, jumping to a stop before the older girls.

Clara simply glared at Bree as Gwen looked between the pair with a slight hint of amusement in her grin. "Hello," she said to Bree. "You're Bree, right?" she asked, checking to ensure she heard the name right earlier.

"Yep, and you're Gwen." Bree replied, more so stating Gwen's name instead of asking, making Gwen laugh and get an even darker glare from Gwen. "So what are you two up to?" she asked, looking between Clara and Gwen.

"We're going to Morgana's chambers; I thought Clara might like to meet her." Gwen explained. Clara rolled her eyes, silently hoping Gwen wouldn't continue on with what she had a feeling the serving girl would say. "Would you like to come?" she invited, making Clara groan; and there it was!

Bree looked at Clara when she groaned grinning. "I'd love to." She accepted. Pushing open the chamber doors, Bree poked her head into the room where the Doctor sat in one of the arm chairs by the fireplace reading. At the sound of the door opening, the Doctor looked up to see Bree staring at him expectantly. "I'm with Gwen and Clara, kay?" she said.

The Doctor grinned, knowing that even though the girl had phrased her words in the form of a question, Bree was telling him where she was going, not asking for permission to go. "Yes, go go." The Doctor said grinning, shooing Bree away with a wave of his hand. "Have fun." He added looking down to his book as Bree started to close the door.

Poking her head back into the room, Bree gave the Time Lord a sly grin. "Oh I should think so." She said.

The Doctor looked back up at her with a grin of his own. "Oi! And stay out of trouble!" he shot back playfully.

"Why bother when it seems to follow you around like a lost puppy?" Came the reply.

"Yes, but you always seem to be the one to go looking for it!" the Doctor argued back as the heavy wooden doors closed.

"Old habits are hard to break!" Bree shouted back, her voice faint as it echoed down the halls she walked down. At that, the Doctor grinned once again before settling back in the chair, his eyes firmly glued to the words before him.


There was a knock at her chamber doors as Morgana looked out her window and into the courtyard below. Glancing at the door, she said "Come in." before looking back out the window. Opening the door quietly, Gwen slipped into the room followed by Clara and Bree. At the sound of more than one pair of footsteps, Morgana turned from the window and was shocked to see two other women walk in with Gwen. "Gwen," Morgana said lightly, stopping her handmaiden while studying the two strange women in the room; both with brown eyes and hair, though it appeared that the youngest had a lighter shade of hair than the oldest. "Who are they?" she asked, her eyes still on the two by the door.

"These are Clara and Bree." Gwen introduced, pointing to the darker haired girl then pointing to the lighter haired girl. "They along with their friend the Doctor will be staying here in Camelot. I thought you would like to meet them." She explained before she started putting some dresses away.

"Whatever for?" Morgana asked with a laugh.

It was the light haired girl who stepped forward and answered. "King Uther has requested that we help in the search for the traitor." Bree said as she walked towards Morgana. Morgana felt her breath catch in her throat at Bree's words, but quickly recovered before the girl could notice anything to be wrong. "Milady." Bree said before gathering her skirts in a small curtsey to the King's ward.

Smiling, Morgana nodded at Bree and then to Clara before gesturing to the table sitting in the middle of the room. "Please, sit down." She invited the girls as Gwen bustled about her business in the room.

"Thank you." Clara said as she crossed the floor before sitting one of the chairs.

Smiling at Clara, Morgana snuck a glance at Bree to see if she had caught anything out of the ordinary; looking at Bree made Morgana wish she hadn't. The young girl was staring at her, and Morgana couldn't help but feel as though the girl were looking deeper, as though into Morgana's very soul. The look within Bree's eyes was dark, calculating, and… unsettling. Flashing a smile though, Bree quickly turned a chipper attitude and skipped over to take a seat at the table across from Clara. Morgana, who was left standing at the window, couldn't help the chills that were sent running up and down her spine before finally joining the pair at the table.

"So…" Morgana began as she took three goblets and poured wine into them before handing one each to Clara and Bree. "You are to help search for the traitor then? Or is it your Doctor friend who is to help, and you are just to accompany him?" she asked, curious as to what was occurring.

Clara took a sip from the goblet, making a slight face at the taste before looking to Morgana. "All of us are apparently going to help in the search." She tried to explain. "To be quite honest, I'm not quite sure myself."

"We are to help." Bree assured with a nod.

"Well, I feel better knowing I can sleep a little more soundly with more people searching for the traitor." Morgana said smiling slightly at her companions. Though she was certain she had hidden it quite well, she could see that Bree had caught on to the peculiar note in her voice as she spoke.

"I'm sorry," Clara said, shaking her head. "But what exactly happened? We weren't exactly told what was going on when we came here; other than that there was a search for a traitor."

Taking a sip from her own goblet, Morgana exhaled before setting back down her drink. "Someone in Camelot armor was found in the King's quarters performing some form of magic," Morgana explained reluctantly. "But obviously, they got away."

Clara opened her mouth to respond, but was cut off by a loud clanging noise outside, followed by a loud shout calling "MERLIN!" in annoyance in the courtyard below.

The four women in the room looked to the open window before looking at each other. "What was that?" Clara asked, looking back to the open window.

Bree was the first up and walked to the window, though managing to somehow look as though she were gliding instead, before leaning on the sill and poking her head out into the sunlight. Outside she could see Merlin picking up the armor and weapons he had dropped on the ground, with Arthur yelling at him about how stupid and clumsy he was for letting that happen. Bree smiled as she watched Merlin finally pick up the pieces and placed them on a table set to the side. As he sorted the weapons, Arthur came up from behind and slapped Merlin upside the head before walking away, sword in hand. This earned a giggle from Bree, which caught the attention of Merlin.

Down in the courtyard, Merlin could hear the tinkling laugh echo throughout the courtyard. Looking around, he finally looked up to the windows where a flash had caught his eye. Leaning out of Lady Morgana's window was Bree, whose light brown hair was catching the light of the sun in a way that light up the hidden lighter brown strands in her hair, giving it the appearance of a dirty blonde color. Giggling, Bree waved down at Merlin when she saw he had noticed her. Merlin smiled slightly, waving back before Arthur called out to him.

Back in Morgana's room, the other four women joined Bree in looking out the window at the men in armor and swords in the courtyard. "What are they doing?" Clara asked, looking down at the men before looking to Morgana.

"It appears they're about to practise sword fighting." Morgana said, looking at Clara with a smile.

Bree was silent as she watched the practise begin before straightening up and taking herself out of the window. "Will you excuse me for a minute?" she asked absentmindedly, her eyes glued to the scene below.

"Yes of course." Morgana said.

Smiling, Bree gave another small curtsey directed at Morgana before running for the doors. Stopping at the doors, Bree turned to look at the group by the window and smiled. "It was absolutely wonderful meeting you, Morgana." She said.

"As it was meeting you Bree." Morgana returned, smiling as well.

Nodding, Bree looked Morgana directly in the eye for a moment before turning and leaving the room. This time, Morgana actually shivered.

The unsettling feeling had returned.
