ZL's note- Hey everyone! Oh man! I'm so sorry about the mistake of Tristan's pet. Really, but thanks for informing me Tian Sirki. And thanks to waffle and RochdurBaggins for reviewing as well. Sorry about the mistake! Here's chapter 6.
Unexpected Knights.
Chapter 6
Written by ZL
As dawn came, Tristan and Faccaia returned.
"Saxons are heading this way. They'll reach here by nightfall," Tristan said.
Faccacia turned to me and grinned; I grinned back.
"How many?" Arthur asked worriedly.
"An entire army," Tristan replied. "One to the north and the other to the south."
Raciel hearing this walked towards us.
"Which way should we go?" Arthur asked.
"East," Raciel replied. All of us turned and stared at her.
"What?" Lancelot asked joining us.
"It's safer," I said.
Arthur eyes suddenly traveled from us to a small wooden little house near the walls.
"You think someone is captured and starved inside there?" I asked.
Arthur looked at me for awhile than walked towards the house.
There were guards standing in front of the door guarding it.
"What's this?" Arthur asked staring at the roman guards.
The rest of the knights followed as well, some on their horses.
"You cannot enter," a guard said flatly.
"Dagonet," Arthur said gesturing towards his knight.
Dagonet stepped forward and swung his axe on the rocks which was protecting the door.
As the rocks crumbled onto the floor, the door revealed.
"Key?" Arthur asked looking at the guards who were petrified.
"Its lock from the inside," one replied, eyes big.
I took out my knife which I place hidden under my clothes.
"No problem," I said grinning walking towards the door.
I use my knife and enter it through the key hole and turned it until I heard a click. I push the door roughly and gestured towards Dagonet for him to go him. Lancelot, Arthur, Gawain, Melanie, Raciel and I followed in as well while the others stood outside guarding the door.
A stench flowed out as I walked down the flight of stairs and I flinched when I smelled it.
"Who are these defilers of the Lords temple?" asked a priest when we walked in.
"One who serves the Lord better," I replied disgustedly looking around.
There were many cages and cells for people who probably defied the priest dumb orders and mostly all were dead in them.
"Search for survivors," Arthur said opening cells and cages.
"Stop! What are you-," a monk tried to say but Gawain swiftly move and put a sword near his throat.
"One more move and you'll join them," Gawain said threateningly.
I looked around and heard a sound but I forgot about it when Dagonet pulled a frightened young boy from an underground cellar.
"You must not fear me," Dagonet said carrying the boy out of the musty smelled place.
Just then, both Arthur and Lancelot pulled out a young woman and I noticed as Arthur carried her out that she was a woad.
"Lancelot, wait," I said as the rest followed out.
Lancelot stood still when I called out to him.
"What?" he asked curiously.
"There's one more," I said trying to listen out for the sound I heard just now.
"What!" Lancelot said looking around.
I spotted the cell where Lancelot and Arthur carried out the woman from and I crawled into it.
"What are you doing?" Lancelot asked.
I looked around the small little cell and spotted another smaller cell next to it.
I crawled towards it and inside I saw another young pale and weak lady sitting at the corner afraid to even move.
"What's happening?" Lancelot asked crawling in.
"Oh my," he gasped when he saw what I saw.
I opened the cell gate and said, "Quick! Carry her out."
Lancelot crawled in without even hesitating and carried the woman gently out.
I sighed and looked around. I doubt anyone could have her those chains on her and she would have been left in this place to suffer and die.
I crawled out slowly. Disgusted on what I saw, I climbed back up to the fresh air which awaited me.
I breathed the lovely air as I walked out of the horrible place.
Arthur was yelling at Marcus when I came out and I saw Tristan looking at the woad with distaste.
I walked towards Lancelot who was tending the woman I found in the cell.
"Misty! Do you know who that is?" Melanie asked to my surprise shouting happily.
"Who?" I asked staring at the woman lying down on the floor.
"Jest," Raciel replied quietly.
I stared at the weak woman who passed out and laughed.
"You got to be kidding me. So this is my sister?" I asked aloud.
Lancelot looked at us surprised.
"You have a sister?" he asked.
"Yes," replied Ragonet.
I laughed even harder.
"Wall them back up," Arthur said to his knights but all were looking at me puzzled by my behavior.
"What's happening?" Arthur asked looking from Lancelot to me.
"This pretty lady here seems to be Misty's sister," Lancelot said.
My laughter fell eventually when I turned serious.
"You're telling me this is Jest. My sister?" I asked again looking at my fellow knights.
Ragonet nodded at me grimly. "We all thought she was dead; but looks like she was captured and was held as serfs."
I looked at her than at my sister. So I wasted my blood and many souls just to find her? I sighed and walked away as the my companions and friends stared after me.
ZLs note- My longest chapter yet! Gosh, I never expected myself for Misty to find another person in the cells or even having a sister. It just came suddenly popping into my head! What do you think of this idea though? Should I stick to this or should I delete it and place it with another one? Review! Thanks!
