REVIEW:
Hearing the commotion more Saxons came in they untied Tristian and started dragging him out, "You're going to the queen." He looked into Natalie's eyes and saw a flicker of light.
&&&&&
"You aren't as friendly as your lover." Said the queen, Tristian was silent.
"Why were you and your lover in my camp?" When Tristian didn't respond one of the guards kicked him behind the knee causing him to fall down.
"I asked you a question." said the queen.
Tristian remained silent and the guard punched the side of Tristian's jaw, "Answer the queen when she asks you a question."
"Let's try somthing else. Who sent you?" Silence met the queen's question and Tristian recived a punch to the jaw.
"Who sent you to spy on me.?" Met again by silence Tristian was kicked in the ribs. "I can see this is going no where quickly. Get the other one." A guard left the queen stared into Tristian trying to read him then screaming could be heard as three saxons had to carry Natalie in.
They droped her next to Tristian, "Owww, I thought you were suppose to be big and strong I'm not that heavy." Tristian smiled inwardly Natalie was being herself.
"Guards leave us."
"But..."
"Now." The guards bowed and left the tent.
"I do not want to waste anymore of my time with this there is someone I want." said the queen, "I assume that you two are from the fort and this area is under the control of a man by the name Atorius, correct?"
"If you want Arthur you are too late he already has someone to love him." said Natalie.
"I don't want him just something in his possesion."
"What is it?"
"It's a who not a what." said the queen.
&&&&&
"How could you let them go Arthur?" asked Lancelot.
"I did what I thought would be best." said Arthur.
"Well you were wrong! Sending a woman we hardly know and a Roman!" yelled Lancelot. The rest of the knights had left Arthur and Lancelot alone knowing better than to get into one of their fights.
"I am half Roman." Arthur reminded him.
"But you have been our commander for fifteen years, and you're only half Roman." said Lancelot.
"Trust me know as your friend Lancelot and do not argue with me on this. It is too late for anything to be undone." said Arthur.
"And with your brilliant plans we'll loose two more and gods only know how many more." snarled Lancelot storming out of the room.
Alira was walking past and saw Lancelot slam the door open, "Lancelot." He didn't acknowledge Alira as he stormed off and she followed him. "Lancelot."
"What?" he yelled turning around.
When he saw it was Alira Lancelot relaxed, "I'm sorry I haven't had a good day."
"I can tell. What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"What is it Lancelot?"
"Nothing that you need to worry about."
"Well if it concerns you so much then I think I should know."
"Why?"
"Because, I'm not sure I just think I do." said Alira walking up to him.
Lancelot's hand twitched to be on Alira's face, "Natalie and Tristian had some trouble and were taken prisoner. Kayla and Conrad went out after them."
"Are they going to be alright?"
"I'm sure that Con..."
"Not him Natalie and Tristian."
"I don't know." said Lancelot.
&&&&&
"Who is it?" frowned Natalie.
"My daughter." said the queen.
Conrad and Kayla rode through the camp, "Where do we start?" asked Conrad.
Kayla had her head down playing the part of a distressed prisoner. "Ask where they put prisoners."
"Hey you!" called Conrad.
Several saxons turned to him, "This girl may have information that the queen finds interesting." "A woman? Haven't seen one of them in awhile." said a saxon as three or four got lose.
"Stay away you know what the queen says. Besides if anyone gets her it'll be me." Conrad tightened his grip around Kayla and put a hand behind her head and brought their lips to each other. Kayla was shocked at first, 'Don't melt, don't melt, don't melt.' she said to herself, 'Fight.' Kayla tried to push away from Conrad. She pushed as much as she could but Conrad held her there. Kayla turned her headand she felt Conrad snap out of whatever mode he had been in.
"There." he finally spat at the others.
"Go straight ahead and it's the third tent on the left." instructed a disapointed saxons. Conrad rode ahead.
"I'm sorry for..."
"Don't be, I'm not." whispered Kayla.
Conrad got off and helped Kayla down they went into the tent. "Where are they?"
"I don't know there might be another prisoner tent." said Conrad.
Just then several saxons dragged Tristian and Natalie and stopped when they saw Conrad and Kayla. "You get lucky too?" asked Conrad playing his part to perfection.
"Stupid saxon." said Natalie kicking out at Conrad not recognizing him. The saxon holding Natalie pulled her back and tied her to a post while the two holding Tristian tied him to a post.
"You'll be fine with her?"
"This one couldn't rip a blade of grass." smirked Conrad, "Besides I'm on duty anyway." The others nodded and left. Conrad looked outside a moment then looked back in and went over to where Tristian was. Tristian slammed his head to the side of the post and busted Conrad in the nose.
"Conrad." whispered Kayla going up to him.
"What?" Natalie looked at them, "Kayla wasn't listening she was standing in front of Conrad with his bloody nose.
"You idiot you broke his nose." glared Kayla.
"Wait to be mad and just get us out." said Natalie, "We have a lot of problems."
Kayla popped Conrad's nose back inot place and they untied Tristian and Natalie, "What are the problems?"
"Us." Three saxons were in the tent doorway Conrad drew his sword. Kayla drew a dagger and hit the forehead of one while Conrad went to the back and sliced it open.
"Go!"
"Natalie go in the woods deep enough and the woads will be there to help. There is a horse, go." said Kayla.
"At the fort." said Natalie giving her sister a quick hug. Kayla nodded, "Go."
"Kayla you need to go." ordered Conrad.
"I don't need a knight in shining armor."
"Right now you do, go" said Conrad stabbing a saxon and punching another.
"I don't want to leave you."
"You have to go." said Conrad kicking down a saxon following up with a stab to the chest. Kayla didn't believe what she was doing as she rolled out of the tent. Kayla slipped in and out of the tents kicking one or two in. She came to a large tent and saw a horse she mounted it and rode back to the prisoner tent. By now the fight had gotten larger and was outside the tent.
Kayla could see Conrad with a busted lip and eyebrow, and his nose was bleeding again, "Conrad!" Kayla held out an arm and as she rode past pulled Conrad into the saddle.
"I thought I told you to leave." said Conrad as they zipped in and out of the tents.
"And I thought I told you I don't need a knight in shining armor."
"You should realize you can't do everything on your own." They shot out of the line of tents and into the woods not slowing he pace.
"And you should realize that I am not one of your woman that needs a man's constant protection." said Kayla.
"I don't believe you."
"Well you should." said Kayla. They found themselves at a draw as they slowed thier pace. The two were silent until they got to where they had left Kayla's horse.
"Kayla, oh thank gods your safe." Natalie was on the back of Kayla's horse.
"We need to go." said Tristian.
"What was the queen looking for?" asked Kayla.
"Her daughter."
"Who?" asked Kayla with a frown.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." said Natalie.
"Then tell me and we will see." said Kayla.
"Yes I have to agree with Kayla who is her daughter?" asked Conrad.
"Her daughter is..."
