Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own King Arthur.

The castle was in full swing when Amelia woke the next day. Her head was no longer throbbing and when she sat up she was thankful the room didn't start spinning either. She could hear metal clanking against metal somewhere outside but before she could get up to look out the window a soft knock came on the door which then opened and in walked Illyanna.

"I'm glad to see you're awake, miss. I was worried about how to wake you up." She placed a bundle of things at the end of the bed and smiled. "The Queen has asked me to help you bathe, dress and get you down to breakfast with her and the King."

"Help me bathe? What?"

Illyanna didn't wait she went back to the door and peered around the corner waving someone in. Two men, probably servants, carried a large copper tub into the room, placed it down in front of the fireplace and in walked a few more servants carrying water that had been heated in wooden buckets and began filling the tub. It took a while but eventually after several trips to the well, fireplace and back to her room they got it halfway filled and left a couple of buckets off to the side. "Come miss, we don't want you to be late." Illyanna said, gesturing with her arms for Amelia to get up and out of bed.

It took a while to get Amelia cleaned and dressed. The bath was stiff and awkward while the getting dressed part was like having ice water poured over her. It just made her situation sink in that much further. How the hell was she going to get out of here? Was there a way to go home? Would she tell these people the truth? Would they believe her? She was suddenly pulled from her thoughts when Illyanna gently touched her hand and brought her back to reality.

"Miss are you alright? Should I call for a doctor?"

"No.. no I'm fine, thank you. Please lead the way to breakfast."

While Illyanna lead the way through halls, down stair cases and past windows Amelia finally took notice of the dress she was wearing. Light blue, scoop neck with light embroidery, long sleeves, a tight bodice that held snug to her chest and abdomen but at her waist flowed out into long flowing skirts.
Very beautiful but definitely not of her more modern times.

When they reached their destination Amelia couldn't help but look around at the massive room. Large windows let in sunlight, ceiling so high it was as if the room had been built for a giant. A large wooden table sat in the middle and sitting at the table were three people, eating a small but seemingly enjoyable meal. She was led over by Illyanna and helped into the fourth seat at the table, across from Guinevere and next to Lancelot.

There was bread, cheese and a few pieces of fruit laid out on her plate. She quickly dug in and within minutes she devoured the entire plate until it was clean of food, even the crumbs. When she looked up Guinevere, Lancelot and the second man who sat at the head of the table were all staring at her.
"Illyanna, please fetch our guest a second helping, she's obviously very hungry this morning." Guinevere asked, looking more and more amused by the second.

Picking up her empty plate, Illyanna fled the room through a side door that Amelia guessed led to the kitchens. Turning her attention back to the woman across from her she was introduced to the man next to her as her husband, Arthur. King Arthur. Of legend.

Before she could even react he turned to her, "What is your name?"

"Amelia."

"And where is it you are from, Amelia?"

"I.. uh.. I'm from.. Georgia." She said, finally spitting it out. It was the truth, just not the whole truth.

"Georgia? Is that a kingdom I am not aware of?"

"Not at all.. it's a small state, actually. Out in the Americas. You wouldn't have heard of it, it's very far away."

"How is it you came to be in Camelot?"

"I actually have no idea, sire. I cannot remember so your guess is as good as mine."

Illyanna returned with her plate full of food once more and this time around she was not as hungry. The interrogation, though as small as it was, depleted any kind of appetite she may have had before.

"How about a walk around the gardens? It would do you well." Amelia looked up to see Guinevere looking at her expectantly.

"Oh, uh of course, that would be lovely."

After Guinevere finished her meal she rose, placing a chaste kiss on Arthur's lips and gestured for Amelia to follow her. She was led from the room and down a grand staircase that could've fit several people side by side without any discomfort. When they reached the outside grounds Amelia looked around in astonishment. Hedges that formed a a small maze were tall enough to offer some sort of privacy when you sat on any bench along it's lush green walls but short enough so that you could be spotted if lost among it's many paths. It was covered in exotic flowers, flowers Amelia had no idea even existed. It was truly an incredibly beautiful sight to see.

Guinevere looped her arm with Amelia's, leading her into the small maze and after a few moments of silence and allowing the other girl to take it all in she finally spoke. "Where is it your really from, Amelia?"

"What is it you mean by asking that?"

"Well let's see.. you do not address us by our formal titles. You arrived in very odd garments to which nobody has ever seen before. You speak as if born from a different time, one that lacks a certain beauty to it's words no less. You act as if dining with a King, Queen and Knight is something unheard of and if I'm not mistaken you look terrified and fascinated all at the same time. So allow me to ask again.."

They sat down on a bench in the middle of the hedge maze, they faced each other so as to speak more freely.

"Where is it you are really from?"

Guinevere did not rush the girl and after quite a few minutes of silence Amelia finally spoke up, "The year 2013."
