Thanks a ton for the reviews :)
Hope you like it :)
Arthur ran as fast as he could, sweat was pouring down his face; his heart was thumping really hard as if it was to burst out. He was near the lake when he heard Freya say,
"Throw her."
Arthur just in time managed to see Morgana being thrown into the water. "Morgana." He screamed.
Freya turned around when she heard the scream, panic over took her, she didn't know how Arthur got here.
Arthur ran forward, in front of his eyes Morgana splashed into the lake.
"Prince Arthur, I..." Freya managed to say.
Arthur took no notice off her and ran past her towards the lake.
"Don't let him reach her Valiant." Freya whispered to the other person behind her. She wouldn't let Arthur spoil her plan; Morgana would be dead today no matter what happens.
Valiant ran towards Arthur and jumped on him, making Arthur fall.
Arthur's eyes were frozen on Morgana who managed to come up for air and he saw her drowning back into the lake. Arthur angrily pushed Valiant back as he got up and punched him in the nose causing him to bleed, then he kicked him on the stomach causing Valiant to fall to the ground and cry out in agony.
Lewis who threw Morgana into the water also ran to Arthur and punched him on the face. Arthur blocked Lewis's second punch which was again aimed at Arthur's face and he punched him on the face really hard causing Lewis to fall. Arthur was just about to dive in into the water when Lewis grabbed his leg which made Arthur fall on the ground.
"Sire." Leon shouted.
Arthur noticed the knights; Leon, Gwaine, Percival, Elyan and Lancelot were running up to him. Arthur angrily kicked Lewis on the face and got up. "Capture them all even Freya." He shouted to the knights.
"But Prince Ar…" Freya spoke but she couldn't finish off as Arthur ignored her and ran towards the lake.
With no time to waste, Arthur dived into the water, but he couldn't see Morgana. He went deep into the water and tried looking for her while he swam under water. He couldn't see her. Suddenly he noticed her lying beneath the water; he managed to pull her up to the top of the water. He swam holding her and reached the end of the lake. He held her and gently placed her on the ground, she wasn't moving.
"Morgana." Arthur's voice trembled while he opened the rope and untied the handkerchief. "Morgana..." He shook her.
Morgana began coughing, some water that managed to get into her mouth while she was about to drown in the lake was dripping out. Slowly she sat up.
"Morgana." Arthur sighed with relief and kissed her forehead, which surprised her. "How silly are you, why did you just come here, couldn't you wait for me, I was so…so scared."
Morgana smiled instead.
"Thank god Gwen managed to find the letter, what if I didn't come on time…I…"
"Arthur."
"Morgana I'm seriously going to put you in the stocks for this, you…."
Morgana smiled and gently put her finger on Arthur's lips causing him to stop talking.
"I'm sorry." Morgana said.
Arthur smiled, he didn't expect an apology "Wow, A sorry from Morgana Le Fay...I'm impressed." He said as he helped her up.
"Prince Arthur, I didn't do anything." Freya said causing Arthur to look at her.
Arthur stood in front of her and without warning he slapped Freya hard on the cheek. Her cheek automatically turned red.
"You slapped me?" Freya questioned with a shocked face, she wanted to touch her sore cheek but couldn't because Gwaine was holding both her arms back.
"Trust me your lucky that you are a girl or you have no idea what I would do to you."Arthur furiously said. "I've had enough of your pretence, I heard you telling one of those people to throw Morgana in the water."
Morgana was standing behind Arthur, she walked forward and stood next to him. "Arthur." She said. "She was the one who sent the imposter who attempted killing me twice and she made people act as bandits to make you leave me so she could…." Morgana managed to say before her voice got stuck in her throat, she still couldn't believe that she was so near to death, in fact she wouldn't have been alive if Arthur wasn't here.
"Morgana."Arthur said while he turned to face her and immediately hugged her.
"And the promise Arthur, it was all a lie to make Uther agree to the marriage alliance." Morgana said slowly.
Arthur stared at Freya while he kept Morgana in his embrace. His temper was rising.
"Get off him, you bitch." Freya said. "He's mine only mine and.." before she could finish her sentence Morgana got out of Arthur's embrace and slapped her on the other cheek. Both of Freya's cheeks were red and sore.
"He's not yours, do you understand?" Morgana furiously said.
Arthur turned to the knights ,"I'm glad all of you came, today due to you I managed to save Morgana."
"It was our duty Sire." Elyan said.
Arthur nodded at them "Let's go, bring them to the castle." He said to the knights and him and Morgana headed to the castle.
Lancelot and Leon were holding Lewis by the arms and Elyan and Percival were holding Valiant by the arms.
Gwaine pushed Freya forward while he was behind her holding her arms.
"Finally everything's over." Morgana sighed with relief.
"Yeah and we don't have to pretend to be husband and wife anymore." Arthur said, even though he enjoyed the act.
"Thank god for that." , Morgana smirked ,"You know being your wife wasn't that bad."
Arthur laughed, "And being your husband was worse than ever."
She punched him on the arm.
"Oww… Just joking, you'll be a great wife to whoever you marry." He said with a genuine smile and he meant it.
She smiled at him and put her arm around his arm "This is the third time you saved me Arthur, you've become my hero."
Arthur looked at her "Really?"
"Really." Morgana smiled.
"I'm glad you're fine Morgana, if anything happened to you I..." He paused while looking at her, "You mean a lot to me and I'm sorry for taking you for granted."
Morgana smiled, sighed loudly and said, "Me too Arthur, through these incidents I've realised you mean a lot to me and being near to death has made me realise how glad I'm alive and with you."
Arthur stopped walking and looked at her.
Morgana looked at him, she realised what she said "I mean not only you. Umm I mean Uther and err..." She stammered.
"Guinevere?" Arthur finished off for her.
"Yes..." She agreed instantly and put her head on his shoulder and smiled.
"My lady, are you cheeks sore?" Gwaine questioned Freya but he got no response. "My lady?" He questioned again.
"Gwaine, just leave her alone." Lancelot said with a laugh, "She's in a lot of shock."
"Of course she's going to be in a shock, she got slapped twice." Percival giggled.
"Oh shut up you idiots." Freya roared while walking.
"Do you want me to rub them for you? Gwaine questioned with a smirk.
"How about you shut your face." Freya shouted.
"Or what?" Challenged Gwaine.
"Leave me and I'll show you what." Freya said.
"You know you have too much temper for a woman." Gwaine giggled.
"That's none of your concern." Said Freya.
"Hurry up." Shouted Arthur who was far ahead with Morgana and was staring at them.
"Of course Sire." Said Gwaine loudly to Arthur.
Arthur nodded at him and turned around and carried on walking with Morgana.
"My lady would you like to move your skinny legs abit quicker, didn't you hear what Prince Arthur said."
"I walk at what speed I wish." Freya arrogantly replied.
"You have the nerve to speak to us like that after all you have done?" Leon questioned.
"Yes I do, any problem?" Freya said as she faced Leon.
"Let her be guys, we shouldn't waste our words on a person like her." Lancelot said with a disgusted face.
"A person like me?" Freya stopped and stared at Lancelot.
"Yes, in other ways a coward." Lancelot smirked.
"I am not a coward." Freya shouted.
"Yes you are, you tried to kill Lady Morgana secretly , even today you tried killing her and you wouldn't have been caught if any of us and Arthur didn't come." Lancelot replied.
Freya turned her face forward and started walking fast.
"What happened, cat caught your tongue?" questioned Gwaine with a grin.
