Chapter 3: Many meetings.
six years later...
Together the woad girls and about thirty other woads were heading down south close to the edge of the trees. Rumor had it that the wall sent out some knights to see if the woads were acting up and if they were to put a stop to it.
Naz had been quieter than usual, atleast more than she was before. They had been heading south for one day so far and they were getting close to the wall, way too close. "If we don't see anything within another couple hours we must head back. We can't go searching for something that isn't there." said Emz getting fustrated with going so far south and not finding anything. Lauren looked at her and let out a sigh.
"We will stop here for a minute to discuss plans!" she yelled making all the woads stop and head towards her. Everyone was worried Gwen and Naz had gone out not too long ago to search and hadn't been back yet. Suddenly they heard people running towards them. Quickly, they pulled out their knives waiting for the people to aproach, but it was only Gwen and Naz.
"They are about ten minutes south of us. We keep going south to we meet them!" said Gwen motioning for everyone to follow her. But before anyone could Naz nodded her head. "No, we run straight past them. They would think we are going to attack the wall and follow in the open. We stop and they keep going. We attack from behind." Emz nodded and clapped her hands.
"Move out!" she yelled as everyone started running. Ten minutes later Naz could see nine figures trampling north. She knew it was them so she ran faster telling the woads to follow.
The knights and Kim were heading north looking for woads acting up. It was amazing how the knights had actually let her come above the wall with them for once. She was never aloud to. The knight,Pelej, said that it was too dangerous. Yet, to her it didn't seem dangerous just beautiful. Just like how she remebered it.
Suddenly a wind went through the air. It was a strong one that acted as if it was sent to cover up a sound. The sound of people running. Tristan looked to the forest. He saw dark figures running south. He wondered why, the woads never ventured so far south. Thinking on this he looked back to the trees. The people running were woads, woads heading for the wall!
Suprisingly he wasn't the only one to notice because the others had started galloping down to where they had came from. Following he saw the figures stop, then he saw others start running again while some stayed. He was actually confused of who they were going to attack.
"Arthur...stop" That's all Tristan had to say because Arthur commanded everyone to stop. Kim looked around at the knights. She was confused at why they had stopped. Yet,Galahad beat her to asking. "Why have we stopped? They are heading for the wall!" he yelled, his voice pretty loud.
Once he finished they could all hear steps running towards them as if people were coming. They all looked around but saw nothing. "What is this magic?" asked Lancelot. He was getting very impatient about the whole rumor about woads attacking like crazy in the north. Suddenly out of no where woads came out screaming at them, baring their teeth.
Tristan pulled out his bow and shot two arrows at once and hit two guys in the chests. Kim looked around at the scene. There was blood squirting everywhere. She thought she was about to get sick.
Kimmerlee's POV
Eww...Lancelot just litterally tore apart someone's throat. I'm getting sick from the sight of it. Oh! Eww..he has chunks of meat and blood on his face. Disgusting! This is so not amazing like Natalie would explain it. But then she was the crazy one.
Tristan is a good fighter. I'm amazed of how he could swing his sword and just kill his enemy as smoothly as if it was a dance.
Galahad, he's in the right mind. Atleast he's not killing...but I don't think your suppose to run away from the guy.
Wait! That is so not a guy! That is a girl! A short haired one that could pass as the devil's wife, but she is indeed a woman. Yikes! she just looked at me! I hope she doesn't come after me next...I'll be dead within seconds. Luckily Galahad is smart enough to run.
I still don't understand the meaning of this battle thing...I am woad, but I wasn't brought up a fighter.
What is that horrid smell? Now I know what it is, that big ugly brute. Why does he think he's so tuff? Standing over me like that!
SMACK!
That bloody bastard! Never smack me in the face! I went to pull out my dagger but god why the hell am I so slow at these things? That smelly pig had a knife above me ready to kill. He's going to kill me...I'm going to die! I screamed as the blood soaked knife came down on me and sliced my arm and he jolted it to hit my breast, but he fell to the ground.
In his throat was a long beautiful dagger. I looked around for my saviour and I saw that girl, the short haired one. Her eyes were bright green. They reminded me of Selene's so much...I wondered if that was Na...I was distracted when I heard a cry of pain.
By being wrapped up in my own thoughts,I didn't notice that the girl had been stabbed in the leg by Tristan. The girl turned around and faced him. She pulled out her two long swords and my heart jumped.
Arthur's POV
I watched helplessly as Kimmerlee was going to get killed by that man, but something stopped him. He fell to the ground with a long dagger through his neck. I turned around to
see who threw it and I saw a woad. She had short dark hair that had some braids here and there. It reminded me of Tristan's. Her aim reminded me of him too. The girl kept eye contact with Kimmerlee for a long time. Kimmer looked deep in thought about something while I saw anger swipe throught the girls' eyes,then it went blank. Lifeless. As if for that one moment in time she let go one feeling and that was it. I wondered how she felt.
Quickly I went back to fighting. I grabbed a man by the hair and slit his throat as I swiped my sword across anothers chest deep as the one with the slit throat went to the ground. I turned around to look back at Kimmerlee. She was popped out of her thoughts when Tristan dug a dagger into the saviours leg. The girl didn't fall but I saw that she was in pain.
Not afraid she pulled out her two swords on Tristan. God that girl was dumb and had no idea that that man was a high skilled knight. I felt bad for her. I looked around and some woads were fleeing away. I wished that the girl would follow them.
Her and Tristan started to fight. Each blocking eachothers blows. She was good, she even got to hit Tristan in the arm and leg and he hadn't hit her once. Yet, I saw her stumble while turning around and Tristan smashed a blow in her side. The girl jumped in pain and fell to the ground.
Why doesn't she just leave? I felt so bad,she just saved Kimmerlee and now she was going to die for nothing. Did Tristan even notice the girl had just saved a great friend?
The girl got up and the fight went on. The woads had left and the only one that was left was her, fighting Tristan. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a girl with long brown hair pop from the trees and she ran towards the scene, axe raised. But she stopped, a few steps away from me when she saw Kimmerlee. They just stared at eachother.
I put my attention back on the fight. Tristan hit the girl again and she recoverd quickly and went after him in such speed and anger I thought it was the end for him. But then, I heard Kimmerlee scream.
Normal POV
"Stop! Natalie, stop it! Don't you kill him!" Everyone froze. Tristan stopped blocking and the girl stopped slashing at his sword. The girl turned around and looked at Kim. Nothing showed on her face, she was good with concealing emotions unlike some. Kimmerlee started
to cry and ran up to the girl and hugged her. Kim was hugging the girl, but the girl just stood there. She showed no emotion at all of happiness.
Through the line of the knights came the long haired girl. She was smiling like there was no tomorrow. Kimmerlee left the frozen picture of the girl and ran to her other friend. The girl known as Natalie, from what Kimmerlee had said, spoke up in her native language, "We thought you were dead." She said it with such dullness tht the knights would have guessed it a threat if Kim hadn't smiled.
Kim looked at the knights and jumped up and down. "Well loyal knights who almost killed my friends. These are my old comrads." She said smiling. "This is Lauren, a beautiful singer, dancer, and well warrior I guess!" Lauren giggled along with Kimmerlee. The knights just stood there, confused.
"And this is Natalie, but please call her Naz, she doesn't like her full name. Now, Naz is a great warrior, protector, and ma...well whatever else she is. But please don't try to talk to her, she doesn't talk much. Well, atleast she didn't talk a lot long ago."
"Don't worry. She's still the opposite of you." said an unknown voice. Kimmerlee turned around. "Oh Emilee! Dear knights, this is Emz, she is a great healer and some what of a fighter but she is great once you get to know her." The girl now known to the knights as Emz had chin lengthed dark blonde hair.
Every year since the day Samah had fallen, Emilee and Natalie had kept their hair the same length. Even though it was strange, they kept it like that. Just for Samah's memory.
Kimmerlee looked around at her friends. One was missing, the one that helped her escape the Roman attack with Selene years before. "Where is my dear Samah, my favorite of you all?" she asked. Naz looked at her, you couldn't see it but she had a great rage go through her but she settled it down.
"She's dead." said Naz suprisingly. "To bad to, it's pathetic how she died. I would have been much happier if you would've taken her place." Kimmerlee let hate run through her eyes. She wanted to be more like Naz, to be able to conceal her emotions and let no one know how she felt. Kim knew what Naz was speaking of and she knew just when Samah had died.
"She died a hero. Plus, it wasn't like I could have stayed and fought them for her escape. I wouldn't have standed a chance!" yelled Kimmerlle tears in her eyes. Her best friend was dead and she was getting blamed.
"Well, she didn't stand much a chance either!" said Naz, not really yelling but loud enough to make Tristan's hawk fly away.
"Fine!" started up Kimmerlee, "Why don't I just get off my lazy ass and go find them would that make you better? Hey, I'll probably die, but who knows! If she died I would too since she was the best fighter for Merlin! No one cares about me!" Kimmerlee was so angry at Naz she could have killed her.
"She wasn't a good fighter, she boasted on the way she fought. Plus, you can't kill those romans anyway, they're dead." said Emilee trying to calm down the two. "You must have magic Kim, this is the most Naz talked in the last six years!"
"How are they dead Emilee? According to miss im-so-moody-and-I-love-to-hurt-people, they couldn't be defeated by Samah so who beat them? A horse?" Scowled Kimmerlee, she wasn't happy.
"Actually, I killed them. One by one with help from Gwen on some. So just shut the
fuck up and go back to your new life with a bunch of rotten scum Romans!" with that Naz walked off through th line of stunned and confused knights.
"Kimmerlee, why don't we sleep out here tonight so you can deal with your friends okay?" offered Arthur as his knights nodded. Emz looked up, "There will be now need for that. I sent the warriors back to Merlin with the aid of Gwen. We go with you Kimmerlee, atleast for now. And Natalie is coming too."
Naz stopped and tuned around and walked up to Lauren and waited next to her. Arthur looked at them and said, "You must chnage when we get passed the wall. You cannot be seen a lot like that and I must of forgot my manners." He went to his horse and got on it then road over to the girls. "I am Arhtur Castus. These are my knights Gawain, Galahad, Bors, Dagonet, Lancelot, Pelej, and Tristan."
With that he gave the girls horses, each for a pair. So Lauren and Kimmerlee got on one and galloped away while Emz joined Naz on one and ignored her looks of protest.
Behind them a couple of eyes were starring them down. Lancelot was looking at them with curiousity, Dagonet was looking at their wounds and was nodding his head, Galahad was staring contently at Lauren and kept occupied on her face and hair, while Tristan looked at them searching for lines of mistrust. He believed they all would mean no harm, including Kimmerlee who he had known for a while, but his glance stayed on Natalie the longest.
He couldn't read her at all. She was able to hide emotions and she didn't talk much so he could find out anything at all. It angered him some to know that this girl could most likely killhim and he didn't know what she thought of any of them.
Knowing she was being watched, Natalie looked over to her on-looker, but he did not look away. "The wall!" yelled Galahad as Lauren looked amazed and Emilee quite pleased. Yet, Naz was disgusted at it. That wall had given her the loss of having the freedom that she should of had, hhe freedom to roam around alone and being safe. Even looking at the gates open made her want to spit and she did, right at the bottom of a romans feet.
