Author: Four chapters out in one day? Wow, I'm good. I really hope you're enjoying this. The series is almost over. This is a long chapter just so you know. Well, enjoy. Cheers!
My cells not ringing, my doorbell isn't singing
My bed is empty, I'm fragile; all I do is cry
Because he loved me, and you didn't even want me
I'm lost and lonely...can't live without you

Chapter Ten: The Battle
Soon, the main Saxon army came in and Arthur and his knights watched as they did. The woads were firing arrows and it was infecting a little. The army was huge, but Arthur will not give up. Arthur cantered his horse towards the Saxons and the knights followed. Rose and Tristan shot arrows while riding at an incredible speed. Hailey brought out her two swords balancing on her horse with no hands. They collided with the army with a brutal force but fought with stength and honor. Hailey jumped off her horse in a group of Saxons with a lot of anger and killing with a fierce temper. She stabbed one in the stomach and slit his throat. As one got in her way, she punched him and cut off his head not even paying attention to the blood that had splattered on her face. She kept a close eye on Lancelot who fell off his horse and she ran to him.
He was about to get killed when she blocked the Saxon's sword. Lancelot got up and watched as Hailey finished off the Saxon. She turned to him and smiled and he returned that smile. They fought together.
Rose was pulled off her horse. A Saxon was choking her but she pulled out her dagger and stabbed him.
Jesse was hit with a shield by a Saxon and Dag saw this. He ran to his horse and mounted it killing Saxons that got in his way. Jess was trying to fend for her self. Just as she was about to die, Dag came and killed the Saxon. He helped her up. They fought together too and killed a lot.
The battle lasted on and on. The girls did well for them selves. Then Hailey ended up facing Cynric. She glared at him and brought out her other sword. They started to duel. She ended dup punching him and she saw from her left the Tristan had fell.
"Arthur!" she said and Arthur looked where she pointed.
He nodded and ran to Tristan's aid. Hailey was about to turned around but was knocked to the ground and a sword was at her throat.
"Good bye bitch!" the lead Saxon yelled and as he was about to strike, two twin swords came into view and blocked his view.
"Go! Now!" Lancelot said to her.
Hailey went and killed nearby Saxons who tried to kill Lancelot while he fought. She then went over to help Guin. A Saxon then got in her way and she put her two blades into him and ripped them out. His blood spilled like a wild ocean in the storm.
Jesse fought with Dag and was doing well at it. She brought up her axe and ripped of the side of a Saxon's face. Blood spilled freely. Then a Saxon grabbed her from behind. He pushed her against the wall. She kneed him in the balls. Then in the face and punched him with her dagger in her hand.
Rose shot a lot of Saxons and most of them were trying to run from her.
Hailey turned and saw Cynric was going to kill Lancelot with a large armor piercing crossbow. She ran as fast as she could and as Lancelot turned, she pushed him out of the way and let the arrow hit her ion the chest almost hitting her heart and lungs. Lancelot looked up and he stared in disbelief. He raised her sword and threw it at Cynric hitting him in the neck, killing teh Saxon instantly. He dropped his sword and ran to Hailey's side as fast as he could. He mind was focussed on one thing: the hope of her still being alive.
"Hailey." He said to her.
She coughed as she tried to get up but Lancelot stopped her.
"No, don't get up." he said, placing his hand to her cheek.
Arthur walked over to the lead Saxon and dueled with him. It was hard for they were both equally good fighters and strong. Rose was still shooting arrows and was almost done killed Saxons.
The battle ended. Arthur and his knights took victory. Arthur looked and saw Hailey's horse and Lancelot standing over a body. Arthur instantly knew what happened. Hailey had fallen and he ran over there.
"Lancelot" Hailey said weakly putting her hand to his cheek.
"Hailey, you'll be alright. I promise you." Lancelot said, tears coming down his face and his kissed her forehead.
"I feel cold." She said witha horse voice, tears ran down her face.
"No." Lance whispered, he held her hand, never wanting to let go.
Arthur ran over there and dropped down next to Lancelot and took off his helmet.
"It was my life to be taken! Not this! Never this!" Arthur yelled up to God.
Hailey looked up at him. "I feel so numb."
Arthur looked at her, his eyes were sad and desperate.
"I love you Lancelot. And you too, Arthur..." her voice faded and her eyes had closed.
Her hand went limp and it looked as if she stopped breathing.
"Hailey?" Lancelot asked, tear fell from his dark brown eyes.
Dag then ran over and put his hand to her forehead.
"She needs a healer. I will bring her to one." Dag said and picked her up and mounted his horse and rode off with her.
Rose and Jesse came over and saw Dag ride off with Hailey. Rose broken down into tears and Jesse pulled her into a hug. Guinevere came over and saw Lancelot. She pulled him in a soft embrace as if she was his sister. Arthur just stood there and walked away. Galahad took Rose in his arms and she just cried. Jesse looked at Bors and actually saw tears come down his face. She knew that Hailey had become like a daughter to him and he loved her dearly. Hailey, Jesse and Rose had become a big part of the knight's lives. Especially Hailey.
