Chapter 13
The sword had gone far enough in to do some damage. I looked down my hand was holding the cut there was blood coming through my clothes all around it. The pain was strange it was stinging but parts of it had gone numb I wasn't sure if this was good or bad. Galahad had gotten over his initial surprise and had ripped the sleeve of his shirt of. He pressed the cloth up to the wound I had a feeling he didn't really no what he was doing.
"I thought you were a Saxon." He said looking around probably for some help.
"I'm fine." I said taking a step back. But when I moved I started to feel a little dizzy.
"Jess you…" Galahad started to say but stopped he rushed past me I turned to see him attack an approaching Saxon.
I took this opportunity to go and make sure the knights were all ok, it surprisingly didn't hurt too much and I felt well enough to walk.
I saw Noah and Lancelot fighting a Saxon he looked like the leader but I wasn't sure. Tristan was having trouble with a large Saxon, so I turned towards him instead.
I had started running and my side was burning. I reached Tristan and aimed a swing at the Saxon he hadn't seen me approaching and took a surprised step back.
The Saxon turned towards me and lifted his sword I prepared my self to fight but Tristan rushed forward swinging at him and coming in contact with his arm. The Saxon winced in pain as Arthur came up behind him and finished him of.
Lancelot appeared next to Tristan and they started talking but I couldn't hear them I was dizzy and the ground felt like it was tipping upwards. I could feel my shirt sticking to me I had probably lost a lot of blood. I took an uneasy step towards Lancelot he said something and looked worried but I didn't hear what it was I started to take another step but become really light headed and started to fall Lancelot bent down and caught me before I hit the ground.
He pulled me up and held onto my waist the sound suddenly came back and the ground stopped spinning.
"Jess what's wrong?" I heard Arthur say from behind me
"It's nothing." I lied.
Lancelot was about to say something when another couple of Saxons came he and Arthur went to fight them. I turned and started walking again. The battle was almost over there weren't very many Saxons left. I stumbled around when the ground started to lift again I lost my balance and fell to the ground.
I had no energy left to get up so I just lay on my side and watched as the few remaining Saxons were killed. The pain was coming back to my still bleeding cut I started to feel extremely cold and started shivering violently.
I could see Arthur from where I was but didn't have the strength to call out. Galahad suddenly came into view and told Arthur something they both rushed of. I shut my eyes and tried not to concentrate on the pain I was shivering and couldn't seem to get warm, my forehead was sweating even though I was so cold.
"Jess." I heard Arthur say I could feel his hands on my shoulder shaking them gently. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Arthur leaning over me looking anxious.
"Tristan." Arthur called over his shoulder.
He rolled me onto my back Arthur looked down and saw my cut. Tristan was next to me now he saw the cut as well and got a small pouch of water from his pocket he poured it onto the cut. I cried out in pain as the cold water made my side start aching.
"Try to ignore the pain it's only going to get worse." Tristan said taking hold of my hand. He lifted my shirt up to get it of the wound.
"We need to get her inside." Arthur said looking up at Tristan
He didn't respond just stared down at me, he wiped my forehead with a cloth I was still feeling very cold and my teeth started chattering.
"What's happened?" Lancelot asked he collapsed down beside Arthur and put his hand to my forehead. A fearful look came across his face and his eyes shot down to where the cut was.
Galahad came rushing over and quickly knelt on the ground next to me. He grabbed my hand and started rubbing my arm probably to try and get me to stop shaking.
"I'm so sorry." He said not taking his eyes of me.
"We have to get her inside." Arthur said again
"I'll do it." Lancelot said standing up quickly.
Arthur and Tristan stood as well and moved back as Lancelot placed one arm under my back and the other under my legs and picked me up carefully. I bit my bottom lip so I wouldn't cry out in pain.
"Has anyone seen Jess?" Noah asked walking over. He saw me in Lancelot's arms and was about to rush up to me but Tristan grabbed his arms so he didn't. Noah got the point and watched as Lancelot carried me across the field and back into the village.
"Don't fall asleep." Lancelot whispered to me when he noticed my eyes were slowly shutting.
He got to my room and placed me on my bed. Tristan came in the room and was carrying a bag with herbs and medicines in it. He was closely followed by the rest of the knights and Noah.
Tristan silently started cleaning around the cut with a wet cloth I could feel everyone watching and wished I could stop shaking. Lancelot was holding my hand I was squeezing it hard but he didn't show the slightest sign of pain or pull his hand away.
"Jess this will sting for a second." Tristan said getting out a small bottle with a green liquid in it.
He tipped it over the cut and I squeezed Lancelot's hand even harder as the pain shot through my body.
For the next half hour the knights watched as Tristan used different medicines and herbs to clean the cut and then bandaged it up neatly. He covered me with three blankets and I immediately stopped shivering.
Arthur made everyone leave Lancelot kissed me on the forehead before walking out. The pain was going down as I drifted of to sleep.
I woke up in a daze it took me a couple of minutes to remember where I was. The pain in my side had gone down considerably compared to what it was like before. I pushed the blankets of me and sat up it didn't hurt too much; my cut was bandaged neatly under my now clean shirt. I was walking to the door when it suddenly opened.
"Get back into bed." Arthur said quickly.
"I'm fine really." I said as he led me back to the bed.
Arthur looked at the cut for a while Tristan, Lancelot, Bors and Galahad had come into the room why he was doing this they looked happy I was finally awake Arthur had told me I had been asleep for two days.
We were all talking for awhile when Lancelot asked a question which made everyone look to Galahad.
"Why did you say sorry to Jess when you saw her cut?" Lancelot asked Galahad
He looked at me and then back to Lancelot. "I thought she was a Saxon." He answered finally.
All the knights looked down at me "It was my fault." I said
None of the knights said anything, I didn't no what to do I sat there in silence for what seemed like an eternity.
"I've got to change the bandages." Tristan finally said the knights nodded and left the room, it wasn't exactly the way I thought they would react.
