----------Chapter Seven----------
-----Marieta's POV-----
Well this is just dandy. Lancelot's gone goo-goo over some Woad princess. Arthur has to. Men are so fickle. I mean, who does Lancelot think he is? If he breaks Kami's heart, which he is on the way of doing, I'm going to kill him. Tristan noticed that I had become slightly, moody, and asked what was wrong. "I'll tell you later. I really don't feel like talking about it..."
"Tristan, Marietta." Arthur had come up and ridden up next to us.
"I need both of you to scout out and see what's coming up and get
rid of any, err, problems." Arthur said. "Normally, I would just send one of you, but because the Saxons are so close-"
"You think it would be safer to send both of us" I finished for him. "Don't worry about it" I reassured him.
"We'll get started now, try not to get yourself, or anyone else, killed" Tristan said with the corner of his lips turning upward. Arthur looked relieved
"That's good" he started. "We need to know what's ahead of us as
soon as possible and-"
"Oh hush, you just want to get rid of us." I said, smiling. "But don't worry, we'll get started right away."
Tristan and I stopped at the wagon to gather some extra supplies. I found Lancelot near there and stopped him. "If you do anything stupid, and hurt her, I'll kill you. Have a nice day."
And with that Tristan and I rode off to scout, leaving a bewildered and quite frightened Lancelot behind.
-----Lancelot's POV-----
"Well, that was quite frightening," I spoke to myself. I knew what she meant, it was pretty obvious. I had to admit Guinevere was undoubtedly beautiful and my heart had stopped when I first saw her, but no one could compare to my Kami. Wait, where was this MY coming from? No not again! SHUT UP BRAIN!!! All right then, moving on! The point is that I love Kami. I now know that I always have and always will. Now how the hell am I going to tell her?
-----Kamilia's POV-----
That damn Woad! I had noticed how Lancelot looked at her before I ran off again to empty my stomach and I was starting to get pissed off. He had just met her and hadn't even said anything to her and was already infatuated. It made me sick! I thought he had cared about me but I guess he was only using me. Maybe it's just a normal reaction for a man to flirt with beautiful women. But Tristan didn't do anything and I've always been sure that he has feelings for Mar. Well, there's really nothing I can do, well, maybe I could. But even if I told him that I loved him he would probably run away and hide. Or just into the arms of Guinevere! Ugh that pisses me off! But hey I might as well since there's nothing to lose. I'll do it tonight.
-----Narrator-----
Just then Kamilia noticed that Guinevere was attempting to go discretely out into the woods. And that Arthur noticed her departure and decided to follow. What really caught her eye though was that Lancelot had also gotten up and was starting to follow the pair into the woods.
-----Kamilia's POV-----
I saw Lancelot get up and I cut him off. "I need to talk to you," I said. He looked at me with a confused expression but followed me anyway. I led him over to the wagons and then deeper into the woods. I didn't want anyone to hear what I had to say. I looked at him and took a deep breath. "Let's get it over with," I said to myself. I looked into his eyes and felt my heart rise into my throat. I took another breath and made my confession.
"I love you." I said. Three simple words yet the hardest thing I had ever done. I couldn't quite place the look that he had. It wasn't disgust, more shock if anything.
"Kami-" he started but I raised my hand to stop him.
"I'm not asking for reasons or an explanation or anything I just wanted you to know how I felt even if you don't feel the same. And don't say that you don't know what I'm talking about, because I see the way you look at her. I just wanted you to know how I felt before you followed her, and I knew that if I didn't tell you now I never would."
Without another word I reached up and kissed him with more passion that I ever knew that I possessed in my heart. After a few seconds I pulled back and walked away with my head held high, so that he wouldn't see the tears falling down my face.
NOTE: Special thanks to Miss Mandalia (nightchild87) for hating the priests as much as I do and for writing 3 times (we feel loved). Thanks also to astro-punk for giving us the suggestion on how to make our story easier to read. And finally, to The Devil's Juliet, NEXT chapter there will be romance between Marietta and Tristan. We promise. (A. here, I agree with you, Tristan rocks). Until next time. Ciao!
