Saving the Knights 1
Hey there quick disclaimer to say I don't own any of King Arthur or I'd be one very rich and one very happy girl, anyway here is the next chapter. (By the way the song, I know it's not the exact wording)

REVIEW
They looked at each other and started laughing. The two girls caught their breaths and they turned to each other and started laughing all over again. Finally they got their composure and went to bed. In the morning the girls got up and got dressed in their pirate cloths.
"Can you walk on your own?" asked Kama.
Nicole pulled her hair back and sighed, "Yea I should be ok my leg isn't bothering me like it was yesterday.
Hey let's see how our knights fare." "Gladly." Smiled Kama.
The girls walked to the dining hall where Arthur, Gwenivere, Dag and Tristian already were.
----
"Gentlemen." Said Nicole grinning at Dag and Tristian.
"Were you able to kill the bugs?" asked Arthur.
"Yes we got them." Said Kama sitting down.
"Good." Was all he said.
"How are you this morning Tristian?" asked Nicole.
He shifted in his seat some and finally said, "Fine."
"That's good to hear." Said Nicole grinning Nicole and Kama finished Nicole said, "I think Kama and I are going to go exploring today."
"Would you like an escort?" asked Arthur.
"No we should be alright on our own. Tristian coughed and it sounded like 'Bugs'.
Nicole ignored him and said, "We'' be back by lunch, if not then we probably accidentally sat on our swords and need a break." The two friends got up and walked out of the house both smiling at the bustling little town.
"Hey isn't that Bors' girlfriend?" asked Kama nodding towards a red head woman.
"Should we offer to help?" asked Nicole.
"Why?"
"Because she has twelve kids and it would be a nice thing to do." Said Nicole.
"Fine we'll help for an hour and then go back to exploring." Said Kama.
"Hour and a half." Said Nicole.
"Fine let's go." said Kama.
Nicole and Kama made their way to the bar, "Hey you look like you could use some help." Said Nicole walking up to the woman.
"Aye, I could, are you offering?" she asked.
"Well my friend and I could get these men their drinks for about an hour and an half while you take a nap or something." Said Nicole stepping back as a drunk fell on his face.
She looked very tempted, "But the baby..."
"Oh don't worry I have many younger siblings I know how to take care of babies very well." Smiled Nicole.
"If you think you can handle it."
"Quite certain." Said Nicole.
"Alright, I'll tell the barkeep, I'll be back in an hour." Said the woman.
A few moments later she came back and handed the baby to Nicole she said thank-you and then she left.
"Come on we'd better get started." Said Nicole with a sigh.
The two friends went and served the men drinks, and it was fairly uneventful except the occasionally men would get fresh but they received a slap to be put into place.
About thirty minutes into serving the baby woke up crying, "Poor thing you want your mom don't you? Shhh, it's alright she'll be back soon." Whispered Nicole.
Kama set three drinks on a table next to Nicole and said, "Why don't you sing that one song you know the one that his mom sang?"
"I'll try." Said Nicole.
She cleared her throat, and sang softly, "Land of bear and land of eagle, we will go home, we will go home across the mountain…." Nicole gently rocked back and forth smiling that the song worked.
When Nicole looked up she realized everyone was watching her and Kama whispered, "I thought you couldn't sing."
"I can't. Oh um sorry I didn't thing my singing would bother anyone, I'm surprised the baby went to sleep. Um you can go back to your drinks." Said Nicole nervously.
A voice in the crowd called, "Sing it again." And several others voices yelled in agreement.
"Kama help." Whispered Nicole.
"Just sing the song, you aren't as bad as you think you are." Said Kama.
"Thanks for nothing."
"You're welcome." Said Kama smiling innocently.
Nicole sang the song much to the pleasure of the crowd. The rest of the hour went smoothly but they were glad when Bors' girlfriend came back. "How was it?"
"Alright except they had me sing twice." Sighed Nicole.
"Oh well I'm sure you were just fine. You two may go I am thinking you'd like to explore some." She said.
"Exactly our intention." Smiled Kama.
"Oh well just try to stay away from the south part of town, there are just one too many unsavory characters."
"We will, see you later." Waved Nicole as she and Kama walked away.
"That wasn't as bad as I though." Said Kama.
"Hmm it could have been worse." Said Nicole watching the ground.
"You sang, just fine I think that they would have asked you a third time but you walked off." Said Kama.
"Hmm."
"What are you thinking about?" asked Kama.
"Nothing." Said Nicole slightly ignoring her friend.
"Whatever you say, you know I could get used to life here. Arthur is pretty cool and so are Gwenivere I hope they end up getting married. Oh and Dag is really sweet."
Nicole just nodded and Kama continued, "And I think Tristian really likes you."
Kama continued on her rant and Nicole watched the ground as they walked along. Neither realized they were now in the heart of the place they were warned not to go also did not realize that they were alone in the streets except the man that followed silently behind them.
"I wouldn't m…" Kama didn't get to finish because her world went black.
