A/N: Sorry for the delay. 2005 really does suck so far. My reasons as to why I haven't updated. I write on inspiration. That inspiration you all ask? Why, my little sister of course! Well, the doctors recently found a tumor in my little sisters bladder and we haven't found out if it malignant or not. So yeah… But on the brighter note. TRISTAN AND ISOLDE, the MOVIE, comes out this year! Starring James Franco (Spider-Man) as Tristan and Sophia Myles (Underworld) as Isolde. And the other good news but a little bad, A new chapter but it's not as long as you all and I would like it to be!
Disclaimer: I don't think I would be writing a fanfic if owned this. If it seems like I'm plagiarizing…I'm really sorry.
Genre: Humor/ General
Rating: PG…for now
Ethne meaning fire is my character that's being introduced. She's just a little girl that's about a few years younger than Lucan. So… sorry, no pairing with any of the knights. Well at least romantically
Chapter Four: Ethne
The next morning, Ethne found herself alone by the tree stump. Like all children, curiosity got the better of her and she wonder where the black sheep went. She sat from her spot observing the people moving around her.
Suddenly the was a loud scream and people yelling left and right. She looked to where the scream came from. It was the little boy that her cage was next too. He was being help captive by Marius.
She wanted to help him, but she was afraid of being caught again. No one would help her if was caught. She sat there and brought the fur over her head and left a hole small enough to see what was going to happen.
The next thing she saw, and arrow pierced through Marius and Lucan was back to safety in the arms of Dagonet.
She let out the breath that she was unconsciously holding and continue to allow her eyes to roam around. She saw the campfire that knights built last night and on one of the limbs, was a piece of rabbit meat. Her eyes widen. It's been a very long time since she had meat. She slowly slither over to it. The smell of cooked meat began to make her mouth water slightly.
As she was about to grab it, a pair of legs got in her way. She slowly looked up to see a grinning Lancelot.
"Going after my food now are we?"
She didn't respond.
Lancelot attempted to lift the fur covering her face. But when he did, she tried to bite him again! He quickly jerked his hand back, sighed heavily, sat down on the ground directly across from her and picked up the piece of meat and started to pick at it. "We're going to leave soon, you better go get in a wagon."
Ethne moved a little closer to him. He scooted back a little as he raised an eyebrow, interested as to what this little monster was up to.
She moved again and stuck he chubby little hand out.
He groaned. "Here." He threw her a piece of the rabbit. "Now get in a wagon!"
With in seconds, her hand shot again, demanding another piece.
"One more and that's it." he said and tossed her another.
"Lancelot! Hurry up, it's time to go!" Arthur yelled to him.
He rolled his eyes and stood up "Everyone's leaving now. So go get in a wagon."
Ethne didn't even bother to move.
"Don't think I won't leave you. I will."
She didn't budge.
"Fine! I'm walking away." He stood there.
Still no movement, but her breathing causing the fur to move up and down.
"Little brat."
With that, Ethne heard footsteps moving away. She peeked out to see if Lancelot really had left. Unexpectedly, she was grabbed , the fur trapping her inside (like Nani did to Lilo in Lilo and Stitch). She instinctively began pounding and kicking.
Lancelot had walked a circle and ended up behind Ethne and took his chance. He was successful. He threw her over his shoulder like he was carrying a huge bag and walked to the knights grinning like an idiot.
Gawain sigh. "I'm afraid to ask."
Bors and Galahad just out right laughed and Arthur tried to retain a straight face.
"So, where do I put her?"
"You are too late friend. There is no more room in the wagons. She'll have to ride with you." Arthur spoke.
"She can walk like the others then."
"You would be that cruel?"
"Then you ride with her."
"I cannot Lancelot."
"Why is that?"
"I am already carry as much as I can."
"Fine. Here Bors, you're good with children. Bond with her and maybe you can add her to your collection."
"Hurmph. Do you think I have room to carry her. I need my space."
"Gawain. Galahad."
"Oh, well would you look at that." Gawain pointed out.
The knight turned and Gawain took off.
"Galahad." Lancelot said.
"What was that Gawain? You need my help?" With that, he was off.
Bors and Arthur were laughing and Lancelot was cursing when Tristan rode up to them.
"What's the hold up? Saxon will catch up."
"Tristan! My dear ole friend. I have a gift for you."
The scout watched him as Lancelot laid the ball of fur before him on his horse.
The minute Ethne knew she was laid down, she started kicking and punching the fur off. Only to come face to face with a strange man. He eyeballed her. He was scary to her and she quickly got off the horse, jumping down half way, stumbled and immediately ran too grab Lancelot's leg as soon as she saw him.
Lancelot looked down to her as if he had just been told that he could no longer gamble.
"It looks as if she has chosen herself who to ride with." Arthur said smiling.
A/N: Sorry this was sort and that not much happened. But as always, thanks to everyone for their reviews and constrictive criticism. It all helps me a lot.
Katemary77: I think everyone would love a Lancelot. Haha. You know, I just read your KA story and I just wanted to say you're an amazing writer and I was just in awe with the way you write.
Keelin: Thanks for reviewing. Haha, I don't call her Ethne for nothing.
LostAndAwaiting: Sorry, I just kinda felt weird if I just jumped into the whole rescuing and I sort of I wanted to built Lancelot's character a bit. But I'll try not too put too much of the movie parts into it.
Camreyn: As always, your reviews catches my attention. Well hopefully to clear up any confusion. All kids are truly pure and innocent and they really don't know much about life. So, they never know what they really want. If you asked a kid if they wanted ice cream or candy, they wouldn't be able to decide (haha I can't even decide that). Most of the time, children tend to see it like it is and make decision without thinking. Hrm, does this sound confusing. I hope it doesn't. Any who, she can talk, but became a mute on her own will. Her age, well, honestly I'm not so sure myself, I can tell you she's about a year or two younger than Lucan. And if you have anymore questions, I'll be glad to answer em.
Raz 42492: Thank you soo much.
The Potions Punk: I'm sorry you didn't like chapter 1's ending. Maybe you like the other chapters. Thanks for your honestly and now I give you my honest answer. I will try to write better if you believe that I can do better and thanks for the compliment.
Meraculas: Thanks for reviewing, I'll try to do better on my updates.
MedusaMaiden: You're welcome and I'll try to update.
Jessica: Haha, thank you sooo much. We'll just have to see what Lancelot does.
WildKnight: Yes, I know it's been a while since I updated. If I were abandoning the story. I'd make it official and let everyone know. But I don't intend to. So, thanks for the review and keep reading.
dellis: thank you sooo much. I'm sorry if I'm letting this story drop. I know what you mean, I really hate that to. There's this one story I was reading and she's an amazing write and it's been almost a year since she last updated. She just kinda disappeared. But I'll try my best to update more.
