Chapter 5-Truth
Natalie was rushing down the hall trying to find her way to Lancelot's room. She was really stressed out. Lancelot trused her why didn't the others? She wasn't a bandit or rogue, yet she was a woad. Woads didn't quite get along with Romans and Sarmations, but couldn't they make an exception for her and her friends?
Finally she found the room and shook the locked door. Annoyed she finally kicked the door down and sat on a chair next to the bed. Minutes later Lancelot came in. He layed down on the bad and looked up at the ceiling. "Why am I the only man that ever trusted you?"he asked still staring at the ceiling. Natalie looked at him, but didn't answer him.
When she finally did she went on for a while. "When liitle my mother died when I was five. Or atleast I think she did. Together me and her lived alone up in north Britian away from Romans, Celts, and danger. I barely remember her, but she intrigued me. One day she went down to a lake to get washed. I waited in our cave for days. She never returned.
"I lived on my own for months until one day when Merlin came to me. He told me to tell him what happened. I told him of Helsin, my mother. He said he knew her and took me to my father.
"I found out that when I was born my mothr ran away with me, to protect me I suppose. My father was woad, as I found out my mother was. I also had an elder brother named Nilon.
"I became friends with Lauren and them. I remember ho nice they were to me. Yet my father would abuse me when he saw me with them. Hew would hurt me when I didn't do my duties, whenI didn't act how he anted me to. He wanted me to be just like Faliwa, his new found love. But I wouldn't do it." Natalie stopped and looked up at the ceiling too.
Lancelot looked over at her. "What did he do to you, your father?" Natalie looked at Lancelot and their eyes connected. Lancelot saw fear.
"He would tie me up, cut me, starve me, beat me, yell, whatever he could do." Natalie looked away and chewed on her bottom lip. Lancelot looked back up at the ceiling and asked, "What happened to him?" For some reason he wantd to kill that man.
"My brother killed him. It is a tradition to kill you master once you can defeat them." answered Natalie playing with the dress Lancelot had let her borrow. "Who is your master?" asked Lancelot curiously. Natalie shut her eyes and opened them a couple of times. "My brother." That is all she said to him.
"Did h abuse you too? asked Lancelot, anger swishing through him. Yet, Natalie didn't answer. Lancelot got up and walked over to kneel next to the chair Natalie sat in. "Tell me." he demanded in a harsher voice than he intended. "I do not count Nilon as my brother, I was only his apprentice and him my master. We were not related in any way in my mind. Nilon did abuse me though, but he ahd reasons to."
Lancelot looked at her, not quite understanding. "Why am I the only man to ever trust you?" he looked her in the eye, begging for an answer.
Natalie took in a deep breath and told Lancelot all the she knew. "My father and brother didn't trust me because they thought I would tell people of what they did to me. So they punished me more and more and threatened me that if I told, many terrible things will happen.
"Merlin doesn't trust me, I can see it in the way he looks at me. I think he believes I can bring down the woad and hurt them when we go to win our land. Yet, I want the land too, why would I give it to those I hate? But the woads always made sure I didn't take charge of battles and tribes. They wouldn't even let me scout on my own. They would send others with me.
"Take my friends for example, sometimes I'm not even sure if I have their trust. Years ago they would never let me do anything that I could mess up. I wonder how they felt when I killed our own kind a couple of times." Natalie finished and stood up. "I'm going for a walk." With that Natalie left Lancelot thinking about what she had said.

A half hour later Lancelot headed down to the tavern to speak with the knights about Natalie.
As he entered the tavern he yelled, "Knights, I must see you all now in the gardens!" Bors looked at the knights as they started to head towards the door. He looked over to his best friend Dagonet, "I think little Lancey is spending to much time with Arthur. I think they should try to keep some distance." chuckled Bors as Dagonet shook his head and let a smile appear on his face.

When they got to the garden Lancelot stood in front of them pacing back and forth. "Why don't you trust Natalie?" Lancelot looked up at the knights. Pelej put a hand through his hair and looked at Lancelot. "She nearly killed Tristan! She's dangerous!" he screamed moving his hands over his face. Lancelot knew how close Pelej and Tristan were, but still that was when they were enemies! Atleats now some trust could be shead.
Gawain looked around at his fellow knights and mentioned, "She is a bit frightening and she doesn't seem to trust us." Bors nodded in agreement and so did Galahad.
Lancelot let out a long sigh and stopped pacing. "Do you know why she acts the way she does? When she was young she was-" Bors cut him off with saying, "Lancelot, you've known her for about a day and your getting way to close to her. You already know her whole life story!" Hearing Bors speak about that made Gawain and Galahad chuckle.
"The reason she is like that is because she was abused by her fathera nd brother when young!" yelled Lancelot. The knights could get on his nerves when they ere joking and he was serious.
he knights turned quiet, except for two who were Tristan and Dagonet. Dagonet looked to Lancelot. "How do you know? Have you seen scars?" Tristan nodded and spoke up, "Words do bring lies." Dagonet looked t Tristan. Tristan could tell that he was concerned for the girl but worried that she was lying. As was he, but why was he concerned for her?
She's not lying but we shouldn't talk about her. You don't have to trust us. Giving Trust is a weakness." The knights turned around to see Emilee walking towards them. She looked to Lancelot and he held her gaze.
"I didn't mean to call you weak, but we shouldn't talk about her, she'll find out somehow." said Emilee, not looking away from Lancelot. The knights nodded and walked away towards the tavern, except for Tristan who wen tthe other way.
Out of the darkness Arthur headed towards the frozen statues of Lancelot and Emilee. "Hello Lancelot," he looked towards Emilee, "Emilee." he greeted and she bowed her head some. She looked toward the two men and bowed her head some and walked off.
God I hate the romans. That's all she could think of. Wanting to see what the men were doing she turned back and looked at Lancelot who was still staring at her. With a slight smile she skipped back to the inn.

After Lancelot left Arthur stood in the gardens alone thinking about the way Emilee and Lancelot were staring at each other when he came up to them. Suddenly he heard a voice behind him. "The man shouldn't let women get to him."
Arthur turned around to see Bors laughing. Arhtur shook his head and smiled. He would have to speak to Lancelot about his feelings for that girl. Usually he hated the woads. Arhtur said his good-byes to Bors and went back to his room to think.
