Gwen was surprised when Gaius stood on her doorstep at such an unusual hour, something was terribly wrong, she could see it in his face.

" Gaius what is it?" she swallowed as her stepped passed her with such haste, "Gwen i need your aid on a matter of grave importance and with great decorum." he grabbed a wrap and put it around her shoulders.

"What is it Gaius?" he grabbed her hand and headed back to the castle. Gwen had never seen Gaius move with such speed, this odd occurrence causing her heart to be stuck in her throat. Was something wrong with Merlin? Or Arthur? Was it Morgana? Ever since Morgana's attempt on overtaking the throne, Camelot has been on edge, was this about her? She kept pace with him, holding every breath, trying to keep her composure.

When Gaius opened the door, Gwen saw nothing out of the ordinary except bloody bandages on the table.

"Gaius, what has happened?" her fear grew inside her like a flame to paper, her eyes were wide and fierce, " you must tell me. what is wrong?" Gaius took a deep breath trying to gather the words, but before he could speak, another voice broke the stale air.

"What did you do with my bag?" A girl, in torn, bloody clothing and a face as grey as the stone on the wall and eyes as red as a rose, her veins in her neck were twinging underneath her skin, this poor broken girl. "What did you do?" She continued looking at Gaius angrily, glaring at Gwen, who was speechless.

" You cannot go out on your own, especially with ruined garments like that, you will stick out like a sore thumb." Gaius retorted, obviously tired of this repetitive conversation.

"Where is my bag?"

" You can barely stand, how long do you expect to make it all on your own?

" I know im dying Gaius!" Her voice was so weak, but she had a power about her that Gwen felt intimidated. " I just have to get out of the city by morning."

"Why by morning?" Gwen asked, her voice cracked under the pressure. Kathryn smiled, it was beautiful, she was beautiful even through all the cuts and bruises there was a sparkle that just shown through. " Noone can know i am here. I wish I could go into it Guinevere, but i cannot, and i apologize for gaius bothering you at such an odd hour." Her body faltered, but she caught herself on the table. Gaius shook his head.

"How did you know my name?" Gwen asked. Silence fell in the room.
