Chapter 7

'Gareth' I said standing up.

'You said trust me, nothing happened, just trust me' he yelled. He looked like he was having trouble standing up let alone walking.

'What are you talking about?' I said walking over to him.

'I saw it I'm not an idiot' he said. In an instant Gareth's hand had lashed out striking me on my cheek, my face went numb and I stumbled back before a pole broke my fall. Lancelot jumped up and ran over to me helping me up. The knights who were in the tavern all jumped up.

'This is your fault' He said to Lancelot.

'You always have to take things that belong to me' He yelled

'I don't belong to you' I yelled walking over to him. Lancelot tried to stop me by grabbing my hand.

'Don't touch her' Gareth said to Lancelot. He swung a punch at Lancelot which hit him pretty hard in the mouth. The other knights made there way over and grabbed Gareth's arms they pulled him out of the tavern, and threw him out the door. He tumbled onto the ground.

'Come back when you've calmed down' Galahad said to him before locking the door to the tavern and watching Gareth stumble away.

Lancelot sat me down on a table in the corner. My cheek had a cut on it that was bleeding. He got a cloth from the bar and pressed it against the cut.

'You're bleeding' I said, his lip had a small cut on it from were Gareth hit him.

'I'll be fine' He said smiling.

'He's drunk' I said

He didn't say anything. I flinched in pain as he pressed harder on my cut. He pulled the cloth of; it had a lot of blood on it for such a small cut.

'Thank you' I said looking down at my hands. I felt like crying but I couldn't like I used up all my tears.

'Come on, I think its best we stay in here' he said leading me back over to the table. He got another drink and started to drink. I didn't blame him he'd been threw a lot; I was starting to think he would have been better of if he'd never met me.

About an hour passed but the tavern was as full as ever. I started to feel claustrophobic like the walls were closing in on me. I stood up and made my way over to the back door. I looked back at the knights; they were all talking loudly to each other. I slipped out the door into a small street at the back of the tavern I breathed deeply and lent against a stone wall. There was a small torch that lit up a bit of the street but other than that it was dark. I contemplated wether I should go and look for Gareth or not but decided it was a bad idea. I turned my head suddenly as I heard footsteps from the other end of the street.

'Who's there?' I said walking towards were I heard the noise.

I strained my eyes trying to see into the darkness, but it was no use.

I gasped as I saw Gareth come out of the darkness and stumble towards me. He was smiling as he walked over to me. He still looked as drunk as before.

'Gareth please listen to me' I said as he stopped about a foot away.

'I'm listening' he said leaning against the wall.

'I don't want to choose, I can't choose' I said

'Then I'll choose' he said

He pushed me up against the wall pressing against my body. He started to kiss me while feeling my waste with his hands. I knew it was the alcohol making him do this, Gareth would never do this. Tears started to fall down my face. He kept kissing me I tried to tell him to stop but couldn't I started to cry, I tried to struggle free but he had me pinned against the wall, he was too strong for me. He pulled away and looked at me. I was staring at him with a look of terror on my face. He looked in shock at what he was doing.

All of a sudden someone lashed out a fist and punched Gareth in the mouth causing him to fall backwards onto the stone floor.

'Stay away from her' Lancelot shouted standing in between me and Gareth.

Gareth was still staring at me in disbelief. His mouth was moving like he wanted to say something but no sound came out. He stood up shakily. Not taking his eyes of mine.

'Don't ever touch her again' Lancelot said. Gareth was still looking at me; he shook his head before walking of into the darkness.

'Are you alright?' Lancelot said turning to me. I was still in shock of what just happened, I was shaking and tears were running down my face. My knees buckled and I began to fall to the ground. Lancelot caught me and guided me to my room.
