Hey, thank you to the three people that normally review it (Megan-Ruth, Anna and Daybreak96) and those who have started to follow it or made it a favourite, it really means a lot to me. This is the last bit to the first episode and is rather short, so I'm sorry. I'm also really sorry that it's taken me so long to update, I've had resits but they are now over.

This chapter is especially for my best friend Megan-Ruth for her birthday (sorry it's a day late).

Hope you enjoy.

When Gwaine started to speak I quickly walked off, I mean I knew that I had wanted to kiss him for a long time, but then wasn't the right time to do it and still not being sure about how he felt about me, made me regret it even more. I heard him call after me but I kept going, knowing that Lancelot's memorial was going to be soon to. Which gave me something else to think about, then I remembered that he like the rest of the knights would be there, but then again he wouldn't be stupid enough to do something with everyone else there, not to mention a memorial for another knights death.

"Carmen, where are you going in such a hurry?" Leon said as I like ran past him.

"Umm . . ." I did not have an answer for that.

"Lancelot's memorial is about to start, I'm headed there now," he said not seeming alarmed by my lack of response which was good. Leon then walked with me the council hall in silence, which I was happy about because it therefore gave me time to try and clear my mind. It wasn't working well; as the only thing on my mind was the kiss I shared with Gwaine, and how I had probably made the worst mistake of my life by running away.

When we reached the council chamber most of the knights that knew Lancelot well were stood on right when you walked in. Gwen, Gaius and Merlin were the only people there who were not nobles or knights, so I went and stood at with them. I could tell Gwen was about to talk to me probably to ask me where I had been, but now wasn't the time to mention what had happened between me and Gwaine. Also luckily Arthur walked in with his uncle before she got the chance. It was obvious that Arthur was upset over the death of Lancelot, but his uncle's face didn't show any emotion, so much so that I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't care at all.

"I want to pay tribute to Sir Lancelot," Arthur started as soon as he reached the far end of the hall. "We owe him a great debt. It is not just his deed we will never forget, but his courage his compassion, his unselfish heart. He's the most noble knight I will ever know, he gave his life for all of us." By the time that he had finished I could feel tears running down my cheeks, and when I looked to the side I saw and wasn't surprised that Gwen was the same.

Arthur walked back out the door he came from and slowly all the knights followed him, me, Merlin and Gwen at the back. Gaius was staying in the chamber to talk to the nobles that stayed as well.

When we reached the front more knights were around a neatly pilled collection of wood, which had Lancelot's sword and cape on top. Merlin walked over to Arthur, whereas me and Gwen stayed towards the back of the knights but still in a position that meant we could see what was going on.

Merlin carried torch over to Arthur, so he could light the wood. After it had been lit Gwen went and stood closer to Arthur, as she did know Lancelot better than me and there was a look in her eye that said she wanted Arthur's comfort but she knew she wouldn't be able to get it until the knights had left. Different knights stayed out there for different periods of time Arthur's main group of knights that always went with him, were the ones that stayed the longed. Gwaine kept trying to catch my eye, and I kept ignoring it even though I knew it was happening, but I didn't want to talk to him not now. I wanted to put it off as long as I could.

Finally when it looked like he was going to walk after me I left. I would have been lying if I said it was just because I wanted to go to mine and Kate's room and sleep it would be a lie. That was some of the reason, but it was also because I wanted to put off talking to Gwaine as long as I could, which would be hard because tomorrow my work would be back to normal and I would have to serve him his meals and tidy his room. Maybe I could get Kate to do me a favour until I sorted everything out in my head. All I had to do now was come up with a reason why I wanted to stay away from him which wasn't he had kissed me, and now I was trying to avoid him.

When I reached the servants area no one seemed to be working, barely anyone out and Thea wasn't anywhere to be seen, so I took that as a reason to be able to go straight to my room. Kate was lying on her bed and staring at the ceiling it looked like, she didn't comment when I went in and I wasn't sure how to bring up whether she would swop who she normally served in the morning especially as I think it was my brother.

"Kate," I said sitting down on my bed. I was just going to go for it and hopefully make up why I wanted to change with her. She sat up in a sign that she was now paying attention to me. "Umm . . . what would I have to do to convince you to swap serving my brother to you serving Gwaine," I gave her a look in my eye that seriously looked like I was pleading with her.

"Well, you could start with a reason," she replied. Why didn't I realise that would be the first thing she wanted, I knew she wanted gossip to tell the other servants, as all of them seem to love it.

"It's nothing in particular, I mean I just never get to spend any time with him, and this would mean I would get to see him a little bit more. Plus you know as well as I do you can only take so much Gwaine, and well I guess it took a year but I'm not at the stage where I can't deal with his anymore. It'll be more like a break, I swop back with you in a few weeks if you want," I said hoping she wouldn't tell that I was lying.

"Fine, but only for a few weeks," she replied.

"Thank you," I said trying to stay calm over how relieved I was that she had agreed. She had a look in her eye that said she wanted to question me more on why I didn't want to serve him but she wasn't asking why I was very relieved about. All I had to do was hope the two of us didn't have an argument about anything which would have her change her mind.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter, and please review if you do.
