Reseme's Story
Chapter 29
The Gates Of Avalon Part 2
Reseme watched as Morgana paced not caring at all that she was making everyone around her uneasy (excluding Reseme). "When will they be back? Did Merlin tell
you?" Reseme didn't take her eyes off of the distance as she responded "Merlin didn't even tell me they were leaving." Morgana nodded before continuing her pacing.
"Where are they?" Reseme mumbled as they sun continued to go down.
"I am Prince Arthur of Camelot." He bowed slightly showing his ability to be humble (something that was taught to him by his father at a young age). He made a
gesture towards Merlin "This is my servant Merlin." They smiled kindly at both men. The girl's eyes sparkled with kindness and curiosity reminding Arthur of Reseme.
"Camelot, that's where we were going when the bandits came out." Arthur nodded scowling at the dead bodies. "I am sorry the journey has not been pleasant. I could
accompany you along the rest of your journey if you would like." The man who introduced himself as Aulfric thanked him and they continued on their journey.
"Reseme this is truly becoming ridiculous! They have bene gone for twelve hours! Twelve! What if something has happened? We should be sending guards out."
Reseme shook her head giving Morgana a small smile. "They have run late before especially if they start arguing. I don't think anything is wrong. Let's just wait a little
longer alright?" Morgana hesitated looking up to the comfort gaze that was Reseme's eyes. She thought a moment longer before nodding her head "Alright." There a
moment of silence before the sound of horse's hooves hitting the stones could be made out. Reseme looked up as she heard the noise. "There they are." Morgana was
by her side in a second. She could feel the anger and anxiety radiating off of her friend. "I'll talk to him later. I can't talk to him right now." Was all she said before
storming out of the entrance and towards her chambers. Reseme chuckled shaking her head.
As their figures became clearer Reseme noticed the two extra horses coming up behind them. Her breath unwillingly hitched upon the view…'Please don't be her.
Please don't be her.' She smiled trying to remain calm as Merlin walked up to her, his blue eyes shining in the night sky. "What are you still doing out? Worried about
me were you?" She rolled her eyes as the goofy knowing smirk made it's way onto his face." She shook her head deciding she wasn't going to make this easy for him
"Of course not. I was here to give Arthur a message." He nodded his head mockingly clearly not believing her. "Really?" She nodded her head "Yes really." They watched
as Arthur came up having heard the conversation the entire time "And what might that be?" He asked not really knowing whose side to take in the banter. She waved
him over slightly walking so that they were side by side "I should warn you that Morgana is quite angry. I highly suggest you avoid her for at least ten hours." He was
mumbling something about "Ten hours! What did I do!" She gave him a sympathetically amused smile patting his arm before making her way back to Merlin. She
smoothly hooked his arm through hers pulling him with her as they walked towards Gaius's. She spoke softly as she asked "Who are the new guests?" Merlin discreetly
looked over their shoulders before turning back to respond "Sophia and Aulfric. They have business with the King." She nodded trying to avoid the wariness that was
seeming into her muscles. Of course Merlin noticed. "What is it?" She shook her head "I just don't trust them."
Authors note: So I am really REALLY sorry that I haven't posted in so long! I have known in the back of my mind that I haven't been but I just couldn't motivate myself to continue. Throughout my time writing this story I have been pretty positive and in a good place (as far as I remember) and I just ran into some depression issues and I just couldn't find the motivation or purpose for continuing. So ANYWAY I saw that someone liked and favorite this story and it just made me feel the need to continue. So here we are! Hopefully you are all still with me. I am really sorry guys, I hadn't done this intentionally. Sorry it's short I'm trying to get back into the groove. Have a great day and a great summer!
