Chapter 15- The Battle of Badon Hill.
Natalie woke up the next morning against someones body. Confused she opened her eyes and looked up to see Tristan looking down at her. Sent him a small smile and he pushed a few strands of hair behin her ear. "Ready to die?" she asked him, while trying to move away from him to get ready. His face remained emotionless but he pulled her closer. "Not yet." he whispered. Natalie rose her eyebrow and he planted a gentle kiss one her lips.
Before she could react someone was at Tristan's door. Jols voice ran out, "Tristan, the caravan is getting ready to leave." Tristan looked down at Natalie and untangled their legs. He got up and started to put on his breeches. She got up and threw on a shirt. "I thought you were staying to fight?" she asked. He started to put his shoes on. "I am." he stated when he was finished. No longer interested in the conversation he went to the door and turned around to look at her. "Let us meet before we say good-bye." he said and went off down the hall to the caravan.
Natalie just stayed there fully dressed and shocked. Selene ran past and saw her there. "Natalie, go to the woods. The girls are already there preparing." she told her. Natalie looked at the room one last time and followed Selene out of the inn. She turned toward her sister. "You are joining the caravan?" asked Natalie. Selene looked at her. "Yes, why?" she asked her worried sister. Natalie pulled Selene close to her. "Make sure the knights come back." she ordered. Selene nodded and headed to the carraige she was staying in.
Natalie entered the wooded area and saw many woads ready. She saw Emilee and Laurena. Running up to them she was glared at. "Why are you late?" asked Lauren. Natalie shrugged the question off and grabbed a pair of woman war clothes that Emilee handed her. She went into the forestto change. Once she was done she heard voices speaking in saxon. She followed them and through the trees she saw a group of five saxons.
She ran back to her two friends. While they covered her in blue paint she told them what she saw. Emilee rose an eyebrow. "Woads in the back ranks will see them and kill them. Do not worry." Natalie listened to Emilee and forgot about it. They later joined Guinevere at the edge of the forest.
Guinevere looked at them. "Finally you two join us in war." she said looking at Lauren and Emilee. "It has been a while." replied Emilee. Natalie rolled her eyes and looked up at the hill. There only Arthur stood. Where were his knights? Lauren looked at her and inderstood what she was thinking. "They have left is to our fate." she said. Natalie looked toward the fort. He promised to come back, she told herself over and over.
"I'll ride out with him." mentioned Natalie. She saw a horse by a woad and went over to take it. She hopped onto it and road up a hill to where Arthur stood. "Ready?" she asked him. Arthur looked at her. "Well, your very loyal." he stated. Natalie rose an eyebrow. "Only to friends." she responded. Arthur bowed his head and return and looked out over the wall. "Now we ride." he whispered when they both noticed the white flag.

Selene looked at the knights riding next to her carriage. She put Willow down and jumped out of the carriage. She stepped in front of the knights and their horses stopped. "You are all going back and fighting." she told them. Tristan turned his horse around and grabbed his bow. "I agree." he stated. The knights looked at one another and grabbed their weapons. Gawain looked at Selene. "Stay safe." he told her. The knights reared their horses around and rode off back towards Arthur and Hadrian's Wall.
Arthur and Natalie were back from the quick conversation with Cerdic and Arthur now stood on the hill alone. What did that soldier mean by, 'Father, that is her!' Did Natalie have a bigger part to play in this battle than suspected? Arthur heard horses riding away. He turned towards the noise and saw his knights riding towards him. Lancelot went next to him. "Did you already ride up and threaten them?" he asked Arthur. Arthur sent him a smirk. "Yes, but don't worry, Natalie took your place and is almost the clone of you when it comes to remarks against saxons." Lancelot shook his head a let out a small chuckle.
Tristan turned towards the woods and saw some woads on the edge of the trees. He saw Natalie painted in blue with a highly exposed battle garment on. He remembered why he wanted to live. He bowed his head to her and she did the same to him. He turned around aand put an arrow in his bow. Looking to Arthur he set it off and hit the Briton scout that was in a tree. Smiling at his job well done he looked back the woods to see Natalie pulling out her bow.
A woad man ran down the front line of the woad army lighting their arrows on fire. Guinevere called out a word in woad and the woads let loose their arrows. One by one the woads kept sending arrows at the confused saxons.
Arthur turned towards his men and yelled, "Ride." The knights rode off towards the saxons taking off heads and body parts while passing. The infantry was down within minutes. Through the smoke shadows and cals of injured ones could be heard. Arthur sent the captain of the infantry, Raewald out to Cerdic. Tristan smiled to himself when he heard the man say that passed the gates was hell.
Cerdic was not touched by Raewalds words and sent the main army in following him. When they approached the dead bodies of the infantry and saw no one, Cerdic sent the army out in two groups. On towards the knights, another towards the woads.
Natalie looked and saw the saxons approaching. She looked to Guinevere who nodded at her. Together they let out a war cry together and ran towards the saxons that were suprised to see the warriors runnigng towards them. The rest of the woads let out a cry and followed the two women.
Natalie crashed through the warriors side by side with Guinevere. They were taking the men down one by one working together. Guinevere was towered by one and Natalie jumped on his back and slit his throat. They ran on fighting the large saxons.

To
the caravan...
Selene was in the wagon with Lena and Kimmerlee. She heard noises from the woods next to them and jumped out of the wagon. She saw shadows in the woods and held onto Willow tighter. Worried that it was some people that the caravan was leaving behind she went to the edge of the woods. Lena got out too and peered over the wagon to see what Selene was doing. Suddenly, a huge man grabbed Selene and Willow and pulled them into the forest.
Lena hid behind the moving wagon and ran to the front. She didn't get in but walked along with it. "Kimmer, I need to take a horse. Selene was taken. Tell Vanora to get the caravan to stop. I have to go tell Arthur." she said. Lena grabbed a horse and set off leaving a worried Kimmerlee behind.
Selene was taken out of earshot of everyone and thrown to the ground. Five saxon men stood above her. One with blonde hair said, "Cerdic only wants her, get rid of the baby." in a language Selene didn't understand. Another man came up and took the baby and responded. "Let's make her watch." Selene stood up and tried to take Willow from the man but another held her back. She kicked him and tried to get Willow, but couldn't.
Selene started to cry and the man placed Willow on the floor and pulled out a club. Willow started to cry and Selene screamed out over and over. The man hovered over the baby and raised the club. Selene tried to release the grip of the man, but didn't succeed. The saxon smashed the club at Willow over and over again. Selene kicked and the punched the saxon holding her, but he wouldn't let go. The one with the club left Willow's ravaged body on the floor and tied but Selene. They took her deeper into the forest and the only thing that could be heard a miled away, were here screams for Willow.
Lena came to the edge of the battle and got off the horse. She saw no one that she knew. She ran into and saw Emilee in the distance. Lauren was close by, but fighting a huge saxon. She ran closer to Emilee, but Emilee was sliced across the back. Lena grabbed a cross bow on the floor and aimed it at the saxon. As she shot it, the saxon infront of Emilee fell to the ground...to be continued...

Crynic saw Guinevere and noticed her as one of the spies. He went up to her and started to fight. Natalie saw this and ran up infront of Guinevere. This made Crynis smile, he could kill two spies in one battle. Crynic swung at Natalie, but she blocked it. He backed up and swung againwith all his might. He was much stronger than her so the blow threw her to the ground.
Guinevere tried to run over to help Natalie, but she was occupied fighting two saxons. Lancelot saw the leader's son raise his sword at Natalie when she was getting up and ran over and put one of his swords into the saxon's back. Crynic fell to his knees and stared up at Natalie. Lancelot came and stood next to her. "Bye, Bye Crynic." she said as she put her sword through his chest. Lancelot bent down and put his other sword through Crynic's neck. Together him and Natalie looked at the battle and saw that it was basically over and they won.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Cerdic finished off a woad and saw a knight walking towards him. He saw the knight's skills and knew he was the scout. So this is the girl's lover, he thought. They both brought their swords out and Cerdic swung at him. Tristan easily blocked it. The fight went on and each took swings at each other. Tristan cut Cerdic's arm and that was the only harm done. When the knight spun around, Cerdic pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into his leg. Tristan ignored the pain and went on with the fight. Cerdic then hit Tristan's arm and his sword flew out of his hand. Cerdic gave Tristna his sword back and they fought again. Cerdic sent a huge blow to Tristan's leg again and he fell to the ground. Cerdic dropped out his sword and picked up the scouts. Tristan started to crawl away when the saxon came up to him. Arthur saw this and ran toward the leader. The saxon brought his sword down, but before it met Tristan another sword blocked it.
Cerdic looked up and saw Arthur standing before him. He let go of Tristan and let him fall to the ground as he grabbed his own sword to fight Arthur.

As she shot it, the saxon infront of Emilee fell to the ground...
Lauren ran towards Emilee and the saxon as she saw the saxon fall to the ground. Suddenly, a huge arrow embedded itself into Emilee's heart. Lena let the crossbow in her hands fall to the ground. She brought her hands up to cover her mouth, she wanted to scream but she couldn't. Emilee fell to her knees. Her whole body was numb. She felt nothing and only saw one thing, before she went black, that as Lauren yelling for her to come back.
Lauren held Emilee's body in her arms and was screaming for her to come back to Lancelot and all those who care for her. She looked up and saw Lena standing there, the weapon that killed Emilee on the ground next to her.
Gawain and Galahad were not too far away and looked and saw Laurenon the ground next to Emilee and looking at Lena. Galahad ran up next to Lauren and kneeled down. He saw Emilee and thought she was knocked out untill she noticed the huge arrow sticking out where her heart was. Galahad put his arms around Lauren and mumbled words of comfort to her. Gawain came up behind Lena and asked, "What are you doing here?" Lena looked at him and whispered, "Selene was taken by saxons." She turned back toward Emilee's dead body ten feet from her.
Gawain looked at the body and Galahad comforting Lauren. He went up to the body and moved her short hair out of her face.
Natalie, Lancelot, and Guinevere walked over to where Arthur and Bors stood helping Tristan up. His only major wound was the dagger that went into his leg. Natalie looked for the other knights and saw Gawain standing over Lauren and Galahad in the distance. Worried she told Arthur and them to follow her. She joined them and looked down at Emilee's body. She felt her knees give in. She fell to the ground and looked at Gawain who was standing next to her. He bent down and rubbed her back. The others joined them, but Lancelot was the last. He didn't notice the body at first and looked at Arthur. "Where's Emilee?" he asked.
Arthur stared at the body and Lancelot followed his gaze. Lancelot felt tears come to his eyes. He ran over to the body and kneeled down next to it. He brought Emilee's head up and layed it on his lap. Arthur moved forward when tears started to fall from the red face of Lancelot.
Tristan let go of Bors and fell to the ground. He crawled over to Natalie and put his hand on her. She turned and looked at him. She was crying too. Lancelot looked to Lauren. "Who did this?" he asked between sobs. Lauren looked towards Lena who moved closer and now had the crossbow in her hand again.
Lauren released herself from Galahad's grip and walked up to her. She quickly raised her hand and slapped Lena across the face. She grabbed the hair that Lena had left on her head from the outburst from Natalie and grabbed it. She pushed Lena to the ground and lena screamed. "It was a mistake!" she yelled over and over. Lauren took a dagger from her belt and stabbed furiously at Lena's heart and Lena screamed. Within seconds, the screaming stopped and Lena's body layed emotionless. Lauren backed up and layed back on the ground.
Gawain removed his hand from Natalie's back and whispered in her ear. "Lena told me Selene was taken by saxons. I don't know if she is telling the truth." His voice was full of worry. Natalie nodded her head and Gawain looked up at Arthur and said. "Those that are able should go after the caravan and bring them back." Arthur looked at him and nodded, sadness in his eyes.
Lancelot picked up Emilee's unmotionless body and headed towards the wall. Gawain and Bors went to Tristan and helped him walk off. Natalie walked to Guinevere and grabbed her hand. They walked off toward the wall, as well. Merlin stood on the wall and looked down at the scenes playing out. He looked toward his daughter and Natalie, and let Guinevere go lead her own life.

Guinevere, Natalie, Gawain, and Bors mounted their horses and set off toward the caravan. They caught up to two wagons that had stopped while the rest of the caravan went ahead. One wagon belonged to Vanora and the kids and the other to Selene.
Gawain walked up to the wagon and looked in. Kimmerlee sat there hugging Erik. "Where is Selene and Willow?" asked Gawain. Erik looked up and pointed outside. Kimmerlee moved out of the wagon and Erik followed. "Lena found you then?" she asked. Gawain picked up Erik. "I don't have time for this." he responded harshly. "Emilee has been killed and you won't be seeing Lena for a very long time. Where is Selene?" Kimmer felt tears come to her eyes. "She was captued we think. Lena and Gilly saw her captured by a saxon." she replied.
Gawain walked away with Erik and set him down in Vanora's wagon. Bors looked at Vanora. "Get the horses to take this wagon back to the wall, love." he ordered. Confused she followed his orders and headed off toward the wall with Kimmerlee following on a horse. "Why did they leave a wagon?" asked Guinevere. Gawain looked at her sharply, "For those on foot.
He turned toward Bors, "You and Guinevere take take your horses and the wagon up to the caravan. All those that are walking put in the wagon. Get them back to the wall quickly. Me and Naz are looking for Selene." he ordered. Guinevere and Bors tied their horses to the caravan and got on them. The rode of and Natalie cold hear Bors mumbling about Gawain spending too much time with Lancelot and Arthur. (From earlier chapters.)
Gawain rode into the forest with Natalie following. She went to his side. "I have some scouting skills, so I can track them." she suggested. He looked up her and responded coldly, "We need o find her now, not when in a few hours she could be dead." Natalie felt a smirk come to her face. "You really care about her." she stated. He set her a glare and rode off. Natalie called him a name and looked to the side of her. She saw a clearing with blood and what looked like a pile of rags. "Gawain!" she yelled. He turned back towards her and follwed her gaze...

Yes, I killed off Emilee. I'm sad now, but it had to be done. I think no one seemed to be extremely made, but you just have to wait for the after shock. It becomes a big deal with some problems and yes, Willow is dead too. You'll see why I killed off them two later on in the next chapter or two. The next chapter is going to be full of drama. lol
