Chapter 4

I woke up to see Lancelot asleep next to me. I had a moment of shock as I tried to remember what he was doing there but then I saw the book and smiled. I stood up and rubbed my eyes. I looked out the window. The sky was grey which made everything hazy. It was about 10 in the morning, and was raining heavily. This kind of weather always put me in a bad mood. I don't know what it was but I had a sickening feeling in my stomach that made me mad when I should have been happy.

'How is it out there? Lancelot asked sitting up and stretching a bit.

'It is cold and grey, like a fat, dead pigeon' I said mopingly closing the curtains.

'Not a morning person?' he asked laughing

I smiled and put on a blue robe for extra warmth. Lancelot walked out with me. He went down to the tavern were people were eating breakfast. I saw Gareth over near the gate under a cover. He was packing a bag and attaching it to his horse.

'What are you doing?' I asked putting my hands in my pockets.

'Leaving' he said not looking at me.

'It's raining' I said

'When will you be back?' I asked looking back at the tavern thinking of breakfast

'Never' he said

'What?' I said quickly looking back at him

'What about Lancelot?' I asked

'Do you want me to come with you?' I said after he didn't say anything.

'No I'm sure Lancelot needs you more' He said still not looking at me.

'I saw you to in bed together' He said after seeing the confused look on my face.

'What… no, we sat down and we were reading a book and then we fell asleep' I explained

'Pick a more interesting book next time' he said pulling his leg over the horse and sitting up right. He was looking down at me. He had an angry look on his face one I'd never seen before.

'Nothing happened' I said running in front of the horse so he couldn't leave.

'That's not what it looked like' He said moving the horse around me.

'Don't you trust me?' I asked running out into the rain to follow him.

He didn't answer and kept riding. The rain had already soaked my dark brown hair making it black and damp. My dress quickly got soaked and clung tighter to my body.

'Gareth, wait' I yelled through the rain.

He didn't say anything or look at me. He was a few meters past the gate and was quickening the horses pace. I ran out to catch up to him. I could feel the drops slide over my cheeks and lips getting caught in my eyelashes

'Please listen' I choked on my own tears. He looked back at me, he looked sad like he was crying as well. He had a concerned look on his face like he wanted to help me but couldn't. He shook his head trying to get rid of a thought and kept riding.

I ran after him, skidding down the hill. The horse was kicking up water making it hard to see. The rain had got really heavy and I couldn't see 3 feet in front of my face. I ran in the direction I thought he was.

'Gareth' I yelled.

I looked around in the rain not sure of were I was. I didn't know what had just happened, nothing happened with me and Lancelot. I didn't know why he didn't believe me.

'Luca' I heard someone yell. It was Lancelot

He ran over to me and looked worried. He was soaked and water was running down his face, he tried to wipe it away.

'Gareth's gone' I choked. Lancelot tried to take my hand.

'No' I yelled pulling my hands away.

'You can tell him, nothing happened last night' I said baking away from him.

'Luca come back, we'll figure it out when it stops raining' he said walking closer to me.

'But what if he's gone by then, what if I never see him again' I yelled

'You'll see him again' he said holding out his hand

'Don't you trust me?' he asked

I looked from his hand to him. I nodded slowly and took his hand. He pulled me close to him and hugged me. I started to shiver; he put his arm around me and guided me back to the village. We ran under the cover of the tavern and he sat me down on a bench kneeling in front of me.

Arthur and Gawain ran over when they saw us.

'Are you alright?' Arthur asked sitting next to me. I was shivering uncontrollably, my skin was pale and my lips were blue.

'Get her a robe' Gawain said to Lancelot. He was staring at me with his mouth open.

'Lancelot!' Arthur yelled after he didn't do anything.

'Right' he said shaking his head. He ran to a nearby table which had a large robe on it he rushed back and placed the robe around my shoulders. I stopped shivering almost straight away. I was still crying I wanted to run and find Gareth I'd never thought what it would be like if he left, I didn't want to. I stood up ready to go look for him. But Arthur put his hand on my shoulder forcing me back down.

'I'll take her to her room' Lancelot said walking me across the courtyard to my room. He sat me down on my bed and rubbed my arm trying to warm me up.

'He'll be back, I promise' Lancelot said

I looked up at him but didn't say anything; he wiped some of the tears away from my face and smiled.

'You should put on some warmer clothes' He said walking to the dresser and pulling out more clothes. He put them on the bed next to me.

'He'll be back' he repeated walking over to the door. I smiled to him as he closed the door behind him.
