REVIEW
They were forced into a small cramped cage.
"Now what?" asked Nicole with a sigh.
"We wait for Arthur." Said Kama.
"And annoy the priest as much as possible." added Nicole smiling.
"Fun." Said Kama grinning.
Two Days Later
"You know Nicole I feel a song coming on." Smiled Kama.
"Really how does this song you speak of go?" asked Nicole.
"Like this one million bottles of beer on the wall one million bottles of beer take one down pass it around only 999,999 bottles of beer left on the wall. 999,999 bottles of beer on the wall 999,999 bottles of beer on the wall take one down pass it around 999,998 bottles of beer left on the wall." Sang Kama.
"But wait don't you start with two million?" asked Nicole.
"Oh yes you do silly me." Laughed Kama with that she started all over at two million.
"GOD SHUT UP!" yelled one of the priests.
"Now you have made me loose count, oh well two million bottles.." she went on singing.
Nicole said, "Not nice to say the lord's name in vain and if we have to die in this stink hole then we sure as heck aren't going quietly."
Kama gave up on the song and said, "Should be saved soon, sounds like we are being walled up."
"Good I'm starting to get really hungry." Said Nicole.
Some time later banging through the brick and the priest's protesting.
"See if there are any alive." Said a voice.
"This one is dead." Called a voice.
"By the smell they are all dead." Said a third voice.
Kama and Nicole were smiling at each other. Lancelot was with Gwenivere and Kama and Nicole heard Dagg say, "You will not fear me." Gawain bent down and looked in the cell Nicole and Kama were in.
"Hey."
"Hello." Said the women grinning.
Gawain cut the chains holding up the cell wall and Kama and Nicole crawled out. They stood and dusted themselves off and stated to walk out, but Kama stopped in from of one of the priests and kicked him in the kneecap.
"That's for telling me to shut up."
They walked outside with a sigh of relief but Nicole turned to see Marius slap his wife. Nicole bent over picked up a stone and covered it in snow then threw it at Marius' head.
"Ooops." She said with a shrug.
Marius turned but Nicole was whistling and looking around up in the sky. Kama smiled then went to help Dagg with the little boy. Nicole saw Tristian talking with Arthur and the saw Tristian's hawk. The bird turned to Nicole as if it knew it was being watched. What it did next astounded Nicole the hawk flew from Tristian to her.
"Oh well hello you." She held out her arm and the bird hoped down from her shoulder.
"Well you're a cutie aren't you?" grinned Nicole petting the bird's chest.
Nicole walked up to Tristian and held out her arm that had the bird on it. "I think he belongs to you." Smiled Nicole.
"He doesn't usually like strangers." Said Tristian holding his arm for the bird to climb up on.
The hawk jumped onto Tristian's arm screeched then fluttered to Nicole's shoulder.
"Hey I like you but I'm a human you're a bird it would never work out between us." said Nicole shrugging causing the hawk to go to Tristian.
That only worked for a moment as the hawk flew onto Nicole's head. "Dang bird. Shoo, go on get, go to daddy." Said Nicole pointing at Tristian.
Tristian grinned then whistled in sever al different pitches and the bird flew away into the snow.
"Thanks." Said Nicole walking away with the rest of the group.
Kama and Dagg
"Poor thing." Said Kama looking at the boy's arm.
"He is strong he will make it." Said Dagg.
"I hope so." Said Kama.
A cart came by and Dagg put the boy in and helped Kama up then he climbed in the cart as well.
Dagg set the boy on some blankets, "Feel his forehead it's burning up." Said Kama feeling the child's forehead and cheeks.
"We can cool him off with a cold rag." Offered Dagg.
"Good idea." Said Kama.
She took a small bowl and poked her head out of the cart. "Oh good Nicole can you fill this with some snow." Said Kama handing her friend the cloth.
"Do you need me to help?" asked Nicole getting the bowl filled with snow.
"Nope Dagg and I have it." Said Kama.
"Make sure you set the bone and splint it." Called Nicole.
"Would you like to ride?" Nicole nearly jumped out of her skin heard someone right behind her, "Oh no thanks Tristian. I am quiet content to walk." Smiled Nicole.
He just nodded and rode ahead Nicole watched Tristian ride ahead to Arthur and talk to him. Arthur stopped as did Tristian they continued to speak.
As Nicole passed she heard Tristian say, "Arthur we will have to fight they will catch up with us in a day or two, three at…" after that she was too far away to hear the rest. Nicole walked back even with the car Kama was riding in she pulled back the blanket that acted as the wall for the cart.
"Kama I need to talk to you." Kama came and sat on the other side on the cart by Nicole, "What?"
"Do you remember archery class?"
"From eleventh grade?" asked Kama doubtfully.
"Yes I still practice it what about you?"
"Of course not, I mean I've done it like twice at the Renaissance Fair, I know swords play not archery."
"Well tonight when we stop we both need to practice because the par where they take on the Saxon prince is in a day or two." Whispered Nicole.
"And the part where Dagg dies." Added Kama.
"So let's practice and get a big shield in case he still runs out there." Said Nicole.
"Alright." Agreed Kama with a nod.
"Kama it's working he is cooling off." Said Dagg.
"We'll talk tonight." Said Kama.
"Alright." Agreed Nicole she put the blanket back down.
That night Kama and Nicole are sitting under the cart talking. They practiced until it had gotten too dark to really see or practice safely.
"What are we going to do?" asked Nicole.
"I don't know, this is the woods were Arthur and Merlin meet."
"So that means that one guy is going to take the boy tomorrow morning." Said Nicole huddling up in her blanket.
"Yea but that has to happen or Marius won't die." Said Kama.
"I know I love that part." Smiled Nicole. "Hey there goes Arthur."
"And Lancelot is probably watching him walk off wishing he could go after Gwenivere." Said Nicole.
"Oh well he's too cocky for her anyway." Said Kama.
"Still should we got say something to him?" asked Nicole.
"And say what? Oh don't worry you'll die saving her from the Saxon prince?"
"Yea I know but,"
"You won't let this go will you Nicole?"
"What do you think?"
"Come on let's get this out of your system." Groaned Kama.
They got up and walked off to find Lancelot he wasn't hard to fond he was still where Gwenivere had left him.
