Chapter III

Ok, first KA fic so try not to bite much!! and yes of course! I dont own any of the characters used in this story (even if I would love to, well alright maybe I hide Gawain in my closet but thats cause he ask me to!). For this particular chapter: Feights belong to the members of the Fallen Knights Forum who are participating on the site's RPG. and of course Brianna is property of Pinkie and I.

Since the very first moment Gawain acepted to share her bed he knew it was a bad idea. He could hardly think of anything else than holding her close and kissing her. He remained awake looking into the darkness of their room wich was big enough to allowed them to have two small beds and two chairs in wich the both keep their clothes. It was always cold and dark most of the time due to the small, and only, window near Brianna's bed.

So much had change since she entered their lives, his life. Before Brianna everything seems to be more simple: he only cared about battle, the other knights and staying alive. He always tried his best to make others around him happy that sometimes he forgot about his own happiness. Gawain always thought of the day he will return to Sarmatia, to his home and to the beautiful Sarmatian woman he often speak of but it all sudden change when Brianna became part of his world.

Gawain slowly turned to face her. Her tiny body shivered due to the cold but her face looked peaceful. No nightmares tonight. He smiled and pulled her closer as gently as he was able to and held her tight across his chest. His hands caressed her golden hair. So rare among Woads that before you I had never seen such golden hair and bright eyes. He thought as he closed his eyes....

He still remembered the first time he saw Brianna. It was one of those extrange days in wich everything seem togo from bad to worst. It was going to be a quiet day until Arthur, their commander, told them they needed to solve a small problem involving a notwell known clan of Woads. Later that day we learnt they were not Woads at all: they called themselfs Feights and were diferent in more than one aspect. It was true that once they had being Woads but they took their own way and eventually both groups became enemies. Feights have a strong conection with nature and only the men were allowed to be warriors: the women were the ones who rule.

Too much happen that day for him to remember it well: what matters is that not only the knights were after the Feights. Also a group of Woads were following them. Soon the knights encounter the Woads and a fight started and somehow Lancelot, as stubborn as he was, decided to chase them after they managed to scape into the woods. So they lost Lancelot and Brianna showed up: she was wearing trousers made of animal skin and a strange leather jerking. Her skin was painted in blue and her golden hair fall across her face. Her green eyes fixed on Gawain's blue ones for the first time.

Arthur spoke to her for quite a long time before he put her under Gawain's guard. Arthur could not remain close to her any longer : Lancelot was his first and most dear knight and the idea of loosing him was too much for him to handle without showing his anger. Even worst that now he had to trust a Woad because Brianna was the only one who knew were Lancelot was. He had chase her friends deep into the woods but he encounter Feights instead of them: he fought and so the Woads but the others were stronger and too many for them. Many Woads were killed and Lancelot was taken prisioner.

Brianna told Arthur she will help him to get his knight back if he promess her to help them to defeat the clan of Feights that were on their part of the woods: a truce she called it. The roman commander had no other choise but to acept. Lancelot was more important than anything and since defeating the Feights was also his mission he saw no problem in fighting along side Woads for this first and only time.

Once Arthur left Gawain and Brianna were left alone. He was not sure why, until today, he was so kind to the young woman when his other fellow knights treated her badly calling her names like blue demon or creature. Gawain was the only one who asked her name and gave her food, she was incredible thin probably because she haven't had food in the last few days, he even tend a wound on her leg cause while she was fighting the Feights.

Soon, with Brianna's help, they found Lancelot and bring him home. How Brianna remained with them was hard to remember. Somehow the knights became friends with her and another one named Guinevere. Gawain could only remember that Brianna remained with him because he had promess her to help her. She had told him she was no Woad, at least by birth. Guinevere and the others had found her badly hurt years ago and took her to live with them: they had give her a home and showed her how to fight. They were her family now. But even if she had learn to love them she needed to find answers: due to the injuries she had lost her memory and deep inside her she wanted to know about her past, she needed to know if there was someone waiting for her at home.

Her most constant memory was about a young boy very alike Gawain. Maybe he was her brother and somehow Gawain remind her of him.....

Gawain smiled as he remembered all this. He opened his eyes and face Brianna, she was still asleep and it was probably the first time she had no nightmares. It really doesn't matter who you are. I will always be here for you. I will always protect you even if you say you are capable enough of it without my help. I wish for the day we both decide to be honest to each other about the way we feel. I wish for the day you say you love me my little wild beauty.
