Kirsten gulped again and attempted to speak. Darcy squeaked and made to flee but a sharp knife was placed at her throat. She glared daggers at her friend who was almost smiling. " Where are we?" said the tall man closest to Darcy, she flinched but seemed to shell-shocked to talk.
"In God's name answer me!"
"See, look, ok, see weapons on the ground" Kristen having a fair idea of who they were, dropped her knife. "Yea, see, I'm peaceful. Come on, hey, look do you really think I could hurt you." Hmmm usually I'm not this rational in my dreams.
They had now sheathed assorted weapons "Greeting Arth……." Kristen stopped mid sentence, realising it was probably best they told her their own names; she scanned them quickly.
Yes they were all here.
Hermind snapped into "freak-with-a-mission" mode.
If they were all here it's pre or in middle of movie; not good, not good, not good, not good, she tried to get Darcy's attention but her friend was still in a state of shock. " How did you get here …" Kirsten was failing miserably at talking to them
"Where are we and who are you?" Judging by the fact that he was still capable of normal speech, Arthur was coping with the shock better then the two girls.
"Ok, Kristen, Darcy. You are no longer in Briton, not even in your time anymore, but you need to trust us…" Kristen trailed off pathetically. They were all looking at her as if she'd grown another head "It is now 2005," Darcy chimed in.
The knights introduced themselves and Arthur followed the girls round the room with mistrustful eyes. "Well good ladies" said Gawain from the corner "Would you perchance find us something to eat, then help us leave this place" he stared apprehensively around. "Ok you lot stay here" Darcy bubbled quite eager to leave. Galahad was looking at the window as though seriously considering throwing himself out it. Kristen noticed for the first time that they where all fairly beaten up and must have come from battle "Ok Darcy stay here I will go and get some medicine and food". Cary threw her a dirty look then put on a very unconvincing smile.
Most of the knights looked up at the word food except Tristan who was examining the computer with interest.
"Tristan don't touch that!"
Too late, sparks flew from the computer on to the scout's fingers. Tristan jumped and stepped back, cursing at the computer loudly. "Right I'll go now."
"Wait Kristen come back here …….."
Kristen tramped downstairs.
This can't be happening, just because I blew up the DVD player doesn't mean seven knights appear out of nowhere. I must be dreaming, however a loud bang assured her that dream or no dream they needed to be house trained. Fast. Still praising God they had chosen this weekend to appear, she grabbed assorted things off the medicine cupboard and some bread.
Darcy was upstairs eyeing the knights apprehensively, they mirrored her stare. "Kristen where are you?" she hissed as Galahad moved cautiously over to the computer. With a jolt of panic Darcy realised that Tristan was no longer in sight. She banged her head against the nearest wall.
