Saving the Knights

REVIEW

"How are you Nicole?" asked Kama.

"Horrible my leg is killing me, I'm not allowed to walk and I'm in a dress." "Would it make you feel better to know that I'm still sneezing some?"

"A little." Said Nicole.

"Hey we could probably make you some kind of crutches when we get to the fort if you still need them." Said Kama.

NEXT DAY right outside the fort

"Either you help me out or I'll jump out and limp the rest of the way." Said Nicole.

"Nicole you need to rest." Said Arthur.

"Like hell I do. I spent most of yester day and all this morning in this cart."

"Arthur's right Nicole." Said Kama.

"That's all fine and dandy but I'm getting out whether you help me or not." Said Nicole.

"Help anyone." Said Kama looking at the other knights.

"Nicole is a grown woman, she knows what she can handle." Said Tristian.

"Thank-you." Said Nicole.

"I give up." Said Kama holding out her arm for Nicole.

Nicole slowly climbed down, "Don't worry about me and go get your papers."

The group continued on through the gates but Nicole still hoped some and walked close to Kama.

They finally reached Germanus who held out his arms wide and laughed nervously, "I see you all are alive it is such a joy."

"For you it's a death warrant." Whispered Kama. Nicole snickered and Germanus smiling nastily. He walked into the house and Kama made a hand gesture.

Dag walked up to Kama, "What does that mean?" he asked holding up his middle finger.

Nicole and Kama laughed, "Go on Kama tell him." "It's a…a…greeting." Laughed Kama.

"Ah." Was all Dag said.

Tristian walked up to the girls and put one of Nicole's over his shoulder. "You can go ahead Kama I'll help her."

"Alright." Said Kama grinning at Nicole.

Everyone went inside, "Slow down." Ordered Tristian.

Nicole reluctantly took smaller steps. "How long will you and your friend be here?"

"Not really sure." Said Nicole.

They got inside, "Hey Nicole I'll show you our room so we can clean up before dinner." Said Kama.

"Sure." Nicole put an arm around Kama.

"You can go ahead and go to dinner." Said Nicole.

Tristian nodded his head and gently slid his head out from under Nicole's arm.

"See you at dinner." Said Nicole.

They got to their room there was one queen bed a square window, a writing desk with a chair, and a small fireplace. To other side of the desk there was a table with a bowl of water and a cloth and next to the cloth was a small brush sitting under the brush was their pirate clothing.

"This is nice." Said Nicole lying back on the bed.

"Very nice." Said Kama.

The two girls washed up as best they could and brushed out their hair when they cleaned up they made their way to the dining room. "The bishop likes you." Said Kama.

"That's nice but I've never seen such a pig." Said Nicole.

"Well we haven't met the Saxon king yet." Said Kama.

"Good point." Said Nicole.

They entered the dining hall and all the men stood, "Ah the heroes of the hour." Said Germanus.

"We aren't the heroes they are." Said Kama nodding to the knights, "They are the ones that have fought for you for the last fifteen years only so that they could live to see another day." Said Kama testily.

Germanus ignored Kama and basically pulled Nicole away and she flinched at the weight change. As he sat her down, more like push her into her seat his hand brushed her butt.

Kama saw it and repeatedly said, "Oh boy, he's going to regret that."

He bowed his head, "My apologizes it was a hand reflex." By the small smirk on his face Nicole knew he was lying. Kama got pissed off but stayed back knowing that Nicole could more then handle it.

"Dear sir," began Nicole with great sarcasm, "There is one body part that men are terribly fond of. If you would like to have yours attached to you in on piece then you will stay the hell away from me." Kama burst out laughing and a couple of the knights who had a mouth full of their drink coughed, but started to choke at what Nicole finished with, "However dear Bishop I suppose that would require you to have that body part."

Nicole sat in her chair and scooted her chair in, leaving a dumbfounded Germanus.

The food was brought out and Nicole grinned and the mashed potatoes on her spoon. Kama looked at her friend and smirked then looked at Germanus who was diagonal from Nicole.

Nicole loaded her spoon with mashed potatoes and flung them at Germanus. It was a dead on hit the potatoes landed in the middle of Germanus' shining baldhead. Everyone but Germanus either laughed or smirked.

"Darn those reflexes of mine." Said Nicole with mock sadness and shaking her head.

"Does the food make you sick so much that you would throw it?" asked Germanus wiping the potatoes from his head.

"It's not the food that sickens me." Said Nicole taking a sip of her drink.

"I have some urgent business to attend to, I am afraid that cannot wait." said Germanus standing Arthur nodded his head.

The diner went on relatively quietly after Germanus left, "Well Kama I don't know about you but I'm going to go to bed."

"Me to." Said Kama. Kama held out and arm for Nicole as they walked to their room. "I'm just going to change into my pirate cloths." Said Nicole sitting at the edge of the bed.

Nicole and Kama changed but were too excited from the past days events to sleep. It was about midnight or later when they decided to go to bed. The room was dark but there was still a soft warm glow from the fireplace. "Something moved by the desk." Said Kama.

"Let's see what it is then." Said Nicole getting out of bed.

The two girls tiptoed to the desk and Nicole pulled back the chair. Both girls screamed and panicked as two fair-sized cockroach like bugs ran past their feet.

Nicole jumped onto the desk chair while Kama got up on the couch like chair that was next to the desk.

"Nicole hit one with one of those books." Said Kama. Nicole grabbed a book a freebee tossed it saying and it hit the floor with a bang, it was an overshot so she grabbed the thick bible on the desk.

She threw it and said, "The power of God smashes you." Once again it was an overshot and the two bugs ran towards the girls, causing the girls to scream and panic. A second later Tristian, Dag, and Arthur ran in swords drawn.
