Rosilyn lay fast asleep but started to toss and turn violently. She cried "No!" as visions entered her head. She was seeing a Camelot knight's cloak floating in the water, a beautiful woman in black with an evil look, a sword landing in the bottom of the ocean. "No! No… no..." Rosilyn wailed. Lancelot woke Rosilyn from her bad nightmare.

"It's okay. I am here," Lancelot said as she sat straight up.

"Lancelot someone has drowned," Rosilyn said frantically.

"My lady, no one is near the water," he said.

"She did it!" Rosilyn cried.

"Who?" Lancelot asked.

"A beautiful woman in black," Rosilyn said, sounding pained.

"It was just a bad dream," he whispered as he stroked her hair.

"I feel it was real."

"Try to go back to sleep." Lancelot continued to stroke her hair as he held her. Lancelot may have not shown Rosilyn his concern for her dream, but he thought it sounded like Morgana. Rosilyn couldn't sleep, and she just laid there praying that it was all just a bad dream.

Lancelot didn't sleep much after Rosilyn's dream. He was concerned for her and knew he needed to have Gwen alerted to what happened during the night. Lancelot gently laid Rosilyn's head on the bed and put on his clothes to go find Gwen. He ran into Merlin outside the Royal quarters.

"Merlin," Lancelot called softly.

Merlin saw concern in Lancelot's eyes. "Rosilyn?"

"She had a dream… or maybe vision… I don't know."

"Why, what happened?" Merlin asked.

"She awoke from her sleep. She was crying out. She mentioned someone drowning in water and a beautiful woman all in black."

"Morgana?" Merlin wondered.

"Why would Rosilyn dream of Morgana?" Lancelot wondered.

"I don't know." Merlin worried.

"Have you seen Gwen? I would like it if she would spend time with Rosilyn in our absence."

"I saw her in the kitchen preparing a bag of food for Arthur's for the journey."

Lancelot headed to the kitchen and ran into Gwen in the doorway.

"Gwen?" Lancelot said.

"Yes?" she smiled.

"Can I ask a favor of you?"

"Sure, whatever you need, Lancelot."

"Rosilyn had a nightmare last night and I was hoping you could spend time with her until our return."

"I can do that."

"Thank you," Lancelot smiled slightly.

Gwen could still see concern in Lancelot's eyes. Gwen wondered what bothered him so much. Lancelot returned to his room to awaken Rosilyn and finish readying for their journey. Lancelot opened the door to see Rosilyn still asleep. He walked over to the bed, gently rubbed her hair and he saw her eyes start to open.

"My lady… I will leave soon." Lancelot leaned down and hugged Rosilyn. She gripped him so tightly that Lancelot could feel she didn't want him to leave. "My lady… I will be home as soon as we are done. We shall then go on a walk to the meadow!"

"A date!"

"I will be back. I will be careful."

Rosilyn sat up, pulling the sheet to cover her breasts. Lancelot kissed her deeply and made every effort to comfort her fears despite the bad feeling he had.

Rosilyn was getting dressed as Lancelot readied for the journey. She made sure she looked her best before she came out to see Lancelot from behind the screen.

Lancelot thought Rosilyn looked more beautiful than ever. She had taken one of his white tunics and belted her waist and had black tights on with it. His white tunic was oversized on him and on her it went further down and almost looked dress like on her. He couldn't take his eyes off of her. "How will I bring myself to leave you when you look this beautiful?" He joked.

"Well, this may be what motivates you to get back to me sooner!" Rosilyn tempted.

Lancelot walked up and kissed her lightly on the lips. "My lady, I love you so much. I will return as soon as I can. I will miss your warmth and your kisses at night. I will have them replaced with Leon's snoring and Gwaine's eating."

"Don't snuggle up with them by accident!" Rosilyn smiled.

"I will be careful to avoid that, my lady."

Rosilyn took Lancelot's hand as they walked out of their room. Lancelot gripped her hand tightly. Rosilyn knew he didn't want to leave her. She walked down the stairs and out the front doors where all the horses were at their ready. Gwaine was standing by his horse with Gavin. Gwaine had a hard time removing his eyes from Rosilyn's figure. Rosilyn walked down the stairs with Lancelot and walked to his horse with him. He kissed her lightly before climbing up on his horse as she stared up at him. She wanted to hold herself together for him.

Gwaine went to Rosilyn as Lancelot looked on. "Do you think you can spend time with Gavin for the next few days? I know you can't teach him to use the sword, but maybe just have fun," he asked.

"I would love to!" Rosilyn smiled. Gwaine called Gavin over.

"Gavin, would you like to spend the next few mornings with Rosilyn while I am gone!"

"I would!" Gwaine went over and mussed Gavin's hair before hugging Rosilyn and climbing on his horse.

"Thank you, princess," Gwaine said before everyone rode off. Lancelot turned around and smiled at Rosilyn as they rounded the corner.

Rosilyn cried. Gavin looked up at Rosilyn. "They will be back!" he said. Rosilyn wiped her tears. She saw Gwen doing the same.

"What would you like to do, Gavin?" Rosilyn asked.

"Explore the castle!" he screamed.

"Let's do it!" Rosilyn laughed as she tried to forget her sadness.

"Let's do it!" Gavin copied.

"Want to come, Gwen?" Rosilyn smiled as she wiped away the last tears off her face.

"I would not miss it!" Gwen said.

Rosilyn looked back towards the gate and wondered how she would manage without her husband.

As they were exploring the castle, one of the first places they took Gavin was the tower that looked out upon the town below. "The place you go to dream!" Rosilyn told Gavin.

"I have never been in anything this tall, not even the trees I climb!" Gavin said happily.

Gwen said, "Camelot looks lovely from up here! Lancelot brought you up here?"

"He did," Rosilyn smiled. "It was one of the most memorable nights of my life." Rosilyn realized her old life hadn't lent the kind of memories that Camelot had to her life. She fell in love with all the people of Camelot.

"Can we see more?" Gavin asked.

"Yes!" Gwen said.

"Let's do it!" Gavin said. Rosilyn laughed at his use of her phrase.

Gwen led them all down to the kitchen and they each grabbed a fresh piece of bread as the cook was turned around. Rosilyn and Gavin giggled and ran out and Gwen shook her head as she followed. They then went to the gate at the vault to show him that.

"So there are rooms and rooms of treasure there?" He asked Gwen.

"There are!" Gwen responded.

"Wow! Good thing, there are locked gates and doors!" Gavin said. He looked at Rosilyn, "One day I will be guarding all of this for King Arthur!"

"You will be the best knight, I am sure!" Rosilyn smiled.

They walked all the halls and Gavin would ask questions.

"Whose room is this? What is this? Why are there so many guest rooms? How are these windows made?" Gavin would ask.

They were passing the knight's quarters and Gwen pointed to Rosilyn's room. "That is Rosilyn's and Lancelot's chambers."

"Can we go in?" Gavin asked.

"Okay." Rosilyn smiled as she opened the door. Gavin ran in.

"This room is so big! It has a table to eat at and fireplace and …. A big …. what's this?" Gavin said pointing.

"That's our wardrobe. Here's Lancelot's and here is mine," Rosilyn said.

"What do you do with a wardrobe?"

"You put your clothes in it!" Rosilyn said.

"Well I only have three outfits so I don't need a wardrobe," Gavin smiled. Gwen and Rosilyn looked at each other and breathed a sigh.

"That's a giant bed! It looks so comfortable. The blankets are all over the place though. It looks like you were wrestling a bear in there!" Gavin smiled innocently.

Gwen looked at Rosilyn and giggled. "Rosilyn, wasn't that bear you wrestled about this tall," holding her hand up to about Lancelot's height.

Rosilyn turned bright red. Rosilyn saw the bed covers were quite a mess due to her "wrestling" last night. Gwen whispered to Rosilyn "How long did it take you to wrestle that bear anyway?" Rosilyn turned around and gave a joking smile.

Rosilyn whispered to herself, "So embarrassing!"

Gwen led Gavin to the bedroom she sometimes used and pulled out her seamstress tools to measure Gavin.

"Gavin, how about I make you a few more outfits?" she asked.

"Can you?" Gavin shouted.

"Yes!" Gwen said cheerily."I will work on them tonight and have them for you first thing in the morning."

Rosilyn was happy for Gavin. Gwen and Rosilyn took Gavin to the throne room where Gavin kneeled before the throne. He wouldn't even touch the throne, he just wanted to kneel before it. "I would be here when I am knighted," he said.

"Do you want to go home for dinner, or eat here?" Gwen asked.

"My mother is gone until nightfall working in the fields."

"Is your father home?"

"My father died before I was born. I have never known a father," Gavin said sadly.

"Well, you will eat with us then!" Rosilyn said to him.

"We will definitely need a man around! Let's go have our meal!" Gwen said as she led them toward the dining room.

The rest of the day was perfect for Gavin. Gwen and Rosilyn walked him home and told him to come to the castle in the morning again and they would do something else fun. Rosilyn was grateful for this distraction. Gwen came to Rosilyn's room to work on the outfits and talk.

"Those will be so nice for Gavin," Rosilyn said.

"I almost died with the bear comment!" Gwen teased.

"How do you think I felt?" Rosilyn smiled. Gwen laughed.

Rosilyn changed her bed covers and fixed them neatly. She then looked out the window into the courtyard wishing it was time for Lancelot's return. She picked up one of his tunics that was laying on the floor and held it to her face and breathed in his scent to soothe her. She missed him so much already. She needed him to be back. This life is a bit hard sometimes, she thought.
