Hello, I am back for another chapter!
Lucillaq- Would I let Tristan die? Maybe...muahahaha. In the movie, I thought it was wrong that he had to die, and how he crawled away from Cerdic. It made me want to cry! So, of course, I can't let him die. He is my favorite character. But there is going to be another death. Yet, I'm not sure who yet. I had a dream about killing someone off last night. But I'm not telling who. dun..dun..dun..
Disclaimer- Same as anyother chapter.
Chapter 14- Saxons
Natalie ran up to where Lancelot stood. She pulled on his arm and he turned around. "What's going on?" she asked. Lancelot turned around and looked up at the wall. They followed the rest of the knights up the steps. Natalie ran next to Emilee. She looked out over the wall and saw what she wished was a dream.
Thousands of saxons stood half a mile from the wall. She heard comotion behind her and turned to see Arthur coming up the wall steps followed by Guinevere. They both took a sight at the saxons. Arthur turned towards his knights.
"Knights," he announced, "My journey with you must end here. Tomorrow I will fight." The knights looked at him. Selene stepped up. "But it will lead you to death Arthur." she told. Arthur looked at her. "Head back to your quarters and get Erik and Willow. Get them out of here." he replied hastily.
"I need more warriors." he told Guinevere. She looked down at the huge saxon army. "I will get my people." she replied to him quietly, but the knights heard as well. Arthur nodded and headed down the wall steps. He was followed by Lancelot and Guinevere.
Lauren looked at Emilee. "Will you fight?" she asked her. Emilee stood there staring at the knights. "We cannot defeat them." she stated dryly.
Natalie looked at her. "What do you mean? You will not fight?" she asked. Emilee shook her head no. "I will follow Lancelot." she stated. "You?" she asked Natalie.
Everyone looked at Natalie. "I have to stay." she replied. Gawain grabbed her arm. "Why? Selene will be miserbale if you die after she just found you." said Gawain. Natalie backed away. "I must fight for Arthur." she stated.
Emilee looked at her. "Why? He is not your leader!" she begged. Natalie looked over the wall once more. "I know the weakness of the saxons. I will fight along..." she stopped. Selene came back up the wall with Erik and Willow. Natalie looked around her back. Tristan and Lancelot were standing there.
"What did Arthur say?" she asked Lancelot. Lancelot looked devastated. "He will fight and die." he replied slowly.
Natalie looked at Selene. "I will fight and die along side him then. I find it as my duty." she said and left.
Emilee looked at her feet. " I will too." she stated. Lauren looked at Emilee and said jokingly, "This girl is going to be the death of me." Galahad walked up beside her. "Does that mean you are fighting?" he asked. Lauren nodded. Emilee grabbed Lauren'd hand. "We must prepare." she suggested. Lauren followed her.
Bors came up behind Galahad. "Don't worry, you'll find another just like her." he said. Galahad looked at him. "The feelings are noticable." Bors said, answering Galahad's facial expression. Slowly the knights left the wall, leaving Gawain, Selene, and the two kids alone.
Unnoticed, Tristan left the crowd. He had to find Natalie and talk her out of fighting in the battle. he found her on the southern side of the wall outside and wooded area speaking to a woad.
He walked up behind her and heard them speak in a language he somewhat understood from scouting. "Who is with them?" she asked. The man looked at Tristan and replied. "The one that found out you were a woman. He is bald." stated the man.
Natalie left out a cold laugh, "I remember that like yesterday." she replied. The man looked at her. "Will the knights fight?" he asked. Natalie looked down at the grass. "Estel, Arthur is the only one fighting." she stated. Estel nodded and ran towards the woods. Natalie turned around to see Tristan. "I felt someone behind me." she mumbled to him. He took a step closer. "You are fighting." It was more of a statement than a question. Natalie looked at the woods.
"I have found out so much since I met you and the knights." she said. Tristan rose an eyebrow, but it was unnoticable behind the hair covering his face. "I am not all woad, but also sarmatian. I've learned barmaids are evil, especially Lena. My sister is capable of taking care of a young boy and baby. Lancelot is actualy understanding and nice, and so much more. I actually like it with you all" she stated. Tristan moved closer.
"You are sarmatian?" he asked. Natalie looked up at him. "Yes, I'm a half-cousin of Lancelot." she stated brightly. Tristan closed the gap between them. "You used to be concealed and quiet. What happened?" he asked. She looked down at his chest. "I know I am going to die." she whispered.
Without saying anything Tristan grabbed her arm and pulled her to follow him. He led her to his room. He opened the door and lightly pushed her inside. He followed and closed the door behind him. Once inside he stood in front of her. Slowly she closed the gap between them. He lowered his head down to her and kissed her lips lightly. He ran his tongue over her bottom lip askeing for entrance. She opened her mouth slightly and he slipped his tongue into her mouth.
Before she knew it,Natalie's back was against the wall with Tristan against her. He pulled away for breath and moved his hand to her back. He started to undo the laces. He smashed his lips to hers again. Natalie tugged at the bottom of his top. He let her take it off and led her to the bed. He pushed her down and got on top of her. He kissed her lightly on the lips and said in that sexy husky voice, "I will fight with you." He pulled her dress off as she loosened the laces of his breeches. (I'll let your minds imagine the rest)

Gawain walked up to Selene. "Can I hold her?" he asked. Selene smiled and handing him the baby. She followed Erik to a bench on the wall. Below at the fort, Selene heard Bors kids' playing. "Why don't you join them?" she asked. Erik nodded and ran down the stairs and headed towards the home of Bors.
Gawain sat next to Selene. "I am sorry. I should not have acted the way I did." he said. Selene smiled at him. "Apology accepted." she responded smiling. He looked down at Willow. "Will you visit Sarmatia with me?" he asked. Selene smiled. "I'd love to" she replied. Gawain let out a cheerful laugh.
"You can help me find my beautiful Sarmatian woman to wed." he said. Selene looked down at the ground. Foolish girl, she kept telling herself. It's not like he was asking you to go with him because he had feelings for you. Selene looked at Willow. "I should go pack." she said quickly. She took Willow out of his arms. Gawain looked at her retreiving back. "I take that as a yes?" he yelled. Selene didn't meet his eyes, but nodded a yes.
She went to the stairs and said hello to Bors who looked like he was standing there drinking. Once Selene was gone, Bors came up to the top on the wall. He walked over to Gawain. "You love to ruin it, don't ya?" asked Bors. Gawain rose an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" he asked Bors.
Bors chuckled. "Are ya blind?" he asked him. Gawain gave him a questionable look. "She has feelings for you, yet each time you act like you do too, you stop and treat her like Galahad or Lancelot." Bors said waving his hands around. Gawain laughed. "Selene and me? You must be drunk, Bors." he replied. "You need sleep."
Bors shrugged and Gawain walked off to his room.

At the saxon camp by the wall...
A woad traitor ran up to Cerdic. "Tell Crynic she is with them. Someone special to her too." said the woad. Cerdic put his sword to the man's throat. "How do you know?" asked Cerdic.
"Estel, one of the woad leaders, came back from a talk with her and spoke to me about it. Her sister is there and the scout, she cares about him. Plus Guinevere, the other spy." Cerdic smiled. "I'll take care of the scout, Crynic will kill Naz...or may I say Natalie, you will take down the other girl. I want four of our men to sneak up on the caravan and take the sister and only the sister. The man Estel we will get later." said Cerdic.
Crynic heard them speak from the fire. Finally he could get his hands on the man, who embarrased him in front of his men.
