Chapter 8

Written by ZL

I crept behind him and pounced on him.

"What the-," but he could not finish as we started fighting.

He punched me on the face and I punched him back angrily.

"Hey, I was just playing; don't need to be so rough!" I shouted blocking a blow that was coming from him.

"Misty!" Lancelot shouted amused.

"Sorry, though you were an enemy," he said apologizing and trying to stand up.

I laughed and looked towards the wagon where Guinevere was but she disappeared.

"What are you doing? Peeping at woman?" I asked looking at him and grinning widely.

"Shut up!" he muttered and started walking towards the other side. I followed.

"I heard you were a healer," Lancelot suddenly said when he was aware of my presence.

"Don't know where you get that from," I said smiling.

"Dagonet told me," he replied turning to face me.

I forced out a cough.

"Look, even if I am, I don't want to be known as a healer okay?" I said directing my eyes away from him.

"Why?" he asked and turned back and walked.

"It's stupid being one. Most are weak and useless, few who are good," I said following close behind.

"I wonder where you get the idea from." Lancelot said. "I have one on my own. She's really good."

"Didn't you hear what I just said? I said few are good," I said.

"There you are!"

I turned to see who was speaking. It was my captain, Melanie.

"What?" I asked.

Melanie started to say something but stopped when she spotted Lancelot.

"Ah, come back to me later. When you're free," she said then started to walk away. I followed her leaving Lancelot behind.

"What is it?" I asked in quick whispers once we were out of his hearing.

"Look Misty, about your sister..." she began to say.

"What about her?" I asked hotly; frustrated with all my friends knowing everything about her except me.

"Look, we didn't know she's still alive," Melanie said.

"I know. But what about her that she is so special to our king that that was actually our first quest?" I asked.

"She was supposed to marry the prince," she replied not looking at me.

I stared at her.

"I think I'm going to faint," I said.

"You were supposed to marry the prince though, once we got back," Melanie said still not looking at me.

"I'm really going to faint!" I nearly yelled.

I can't believe what I'm hearing. Maybe the blood and souls I wasted really was worth it.

I walked back to where my other companions were and lay on the floor to sleep.

When dawn came, I woke up. The coldness in the air brought me to my senses quickly when I heard some disturbing noises where the other people were.

I rushed there to see Marcus grabbing the boy which Dagonet cared for: Lucan. He placed a knife under the boy's throat and started making threats.

"What the-," I started to say but a sudden arrow came flying and aiming straight at him.

"Who in the world shot that?" I asked aloud turning to see Guinevere and Arthur walking towards us.

She shot another arrow towards another soldier who stumbled when it landed at his feet.

"See your hands are better," Lancelot said appearing.

"What the heck is happening?" asked a blurry eyed Raciel.

"Nothing, go back to sleep," I said looking at her.

"Drop your weapons!" Arthur ordered to the guards they were hesitant but immediately dropped it when Dagonet let out a sudden roar.

Lucan ran to Dagonet and Dagonet hugged him like a father would to his son.

Tristan suddenly appeared from the forest looking satisfied with something.

"How many did you kill?" Borrs asked who was nearby.

"Four," he replied.

I let out a long whistle.

Raciel who was fully awake by now and who was aware of her surroundings started to say, "Four Saxons in the night? Amazing! I won't trade it for my precious sleep though."

The men started to laugh and we woke the others up. It looks like it's going to be a great day after all.

Oh how wrong I was.
