Next chapter here for you hope that you like it and I am very glad with the reviews and I thank you all that have left one. This chapter is a little longer since I wanted to do the entire battle scene in one chapter, which is the next chapter.

REVIEW

"Yea why don' we visit Nana?" suggested Kama.

"Good idea we haven't talked to her or Sara in awhile." Said Nicole.

"To town then." Said Kama smiling.

----

"Oh darlins!" exclaimed Nana as the two girls walked into the bar. Nicole and Kama smiled as Nana engulfed them in a bear hug, "I was hoping you two would be alright."

"We are fine Nana." Said Nicole looking around, but before she could say anything Kama did, "Where is everyone?"

Nana's face fell slightly, "We had to close down."

"Why? You seemed to be doing find last we were here." Said Nicole.

"Oh we were doin' just find, but there might be an army of Saxons heading this way so we are heading for Ireland, we have family there. What about you lasses where will you go?" frowned Nana.

"But it is just rumors." Said Kama.

"Aye but too many for my son's liking or mine so we are packing up and leaving, we are leaving after breakfast tomorrow. You should come with us, Ireland is such a beautiful place." Said Nana smiling.

"I don't think so Nana, but maybe we could visit you sometime?" offered Nicole sadly.

"Aye lass you'd better or I'll be comin' after ye." Said Nana.

"Well we should probably go so you can get back to packing up." Said Kama.

Nana sighed and shook her head, "Alright but you go'n change your mind you know where we are and when we are leaving." Said Nana giving both girls a big hug.

"Bye Nana." Said both girls. Nicole and Kama walked back to Arthur's home much slower and noticed for the first time that Nana's family wasn't the only ones that were packing up.

"This is making me nervous Kama." Said Nicole looking around unsurely.

"Come on." Said Kama walking faster. They got to the house Nicole thrumming her finders on the sides of her legs, and chewing her bottom lip.

"Nicole just go asked Tristian." Said Kama.

"Didn't think about it. Why don't you just go ask Dag?"

"Because Tristian would be more likely to tell you then Dag would be to tell me." Said Kama.

"Fine I'll ask him." Said Nicole turning and walking around a corner that led to Tristian's room. Nicole knocked on the door, no answer, she knocked again, still no answer. Nicole opened the door and walked in but covered her eyes and blushed. Tristian was in his room but was a washtub. Tristian was in his room but was in a washtub.

"Oh…umm…umm…"

"What are you in her for?" asked Tristian as if nothing was wrong. 'What has she come for? Oh yes…'

"I…I…I… was wondering if you would have heard the rumors about the Saxons?" she asked.

"Yes I have." Said Tristian with no hint at anything.

"And?"

"And what?" asked Tristian.

"Are they true?"

"What if they are?" asked Tristian.

"I'd like to know because a friend offered for Kama and I to travel with her away from here." Said Nicole.

"Is that so? When did she say she was leaving?" asked Tristian.

"Does it matter if there is no threat?" asked Nicole turning to face the door.

"Mmm, well if you are done watching me bathe…"

"I am not watching you!" said Nicole stomping her foot down and putting her hands on her hips.

"As you say." Said Tristian.

"Never mind." Said Nicole walking out the door and slamming it behind her.

"So what did he say?" Kama asked as Nicole walked into the room.

"He didn't say exactly, but he seemed interested in the fact that Nana had offered to take us with her." Said Nicole plopping on the bed.

"So?"

"Why else would he be interested unless there was something coming?"

"Good point." Said Kama pacing.

"What do we do?" asked Kama.

"I don't know why don't you come up with something?" asked Nicole laying back and looking up.

"We could just avoid them and the subject as much as we can." Said Kama.

"Sounds good we could eat lunch in here." Said Nicole.

"That only leaves what to do when the Saxons get here." Said Kama.

"Let's go with Gwenivere." Suggested Nicole.

"That'd be awesome I've always wanted to fire flaming arrows." Said Kama grinning.

There was a knock on the door, "Who is it?" asked Kama.

"Gwenivere."

Kama let her in and Nicole sat up on the bed, "What can we help you with?"

"I just came to let you know that Merlin ha an army of his warriors waiting for the Saxons."

"Good, when are you going to go with Merlin?" asked Nicole.

"Later today to help get things ready for the battle, they think that the Saxons will be here tonight." Said Gwenivere.

"Ok, well Kama and I will come and meet you in the woods as soon as we can get away from Tristian and Dag, and that probably won't be until tomorrow morning." Said Nicole.

Gwenivere nodded, "You seem to have it all planed out, see you tomorrow."

"Until tomorrow." Said Kama.

-After lunch and close to dinner also close to dark. Nicole and Kama are

really high stung and jumpy because they know what is coming.

Nicole stood on the turrets that faced the field that would soon be filled with Saxons. Nicole started pacing back and forth not taking her eyes from the field. She didn't look where she was going and bumped into Tristian.

"Oh, it's you." She said turning back to her pacing.

"It's lovely to see you as well." He said following Nicole.

"What do you want Tristian?" I'm in no mood for your humor." Said Nicole.

"There was something I needed to tell you." Said Tristian.

"What is it?" asked Nicole turning and walking towards and past Tristian.

"We are leaving with Sara tomorrow morning."

"What? You are kidding, but wh…"

"That is no longer anyone's responsibility." Said Tristian.

"It doesn't seem right." Said Nicole holding her arms.

Tristian stood behind Nicole and put his arms around her resting his chin o her head, "He'll be fine Nicole."

Nicole sighed, "I hope so. Do Kama and Dag know?" "Dag has talked to her already." Said Tristian.

"How'd she take it?" asked Nicole.

"Screamed a bit about it not being right and how she'd stay behind."

Nicole grinned, "And I'm guessing that Dag changed her mind."

"Not much."

Nicole sighed, "I'll talk to her." Nicole slowly mad her way to the room that she shared with Kama.

When she got there Dag was trying to get Kama calmed down, "Kama please jut listen to me. It's not safe for you here, you have to come with us!"

"How can I? How can you for that matter?" asked Kama angrily.

"Hey Dag." Said Nicole.

"Can you talk some sense into her? I've given up." Exclaimed Dag stomping out of the room.

"Can you believe the nerve of him?" yelled Kama.

"Calm down Kama! We will still fight but we have to go along with them for now." Said Nicole.

"Why?"

" Because they have to come fight on their own free will. And if we run away then they will be looking for us not going to fight." Explained Nicole.

"It's still not right." Said Kama.

"I know but we have to go along with it." Said Nicole.

"Fine." Said Kama with a slight pout.

"Stop whining and let's go to dinner." Said Nicole.

-After dinner Dag and Tristian are walking Nicole and Kama to their room

"Are you both packed?" asked Tristian.

"I am." Said Nicole.

"Kama?" asked Dag.

"I am but I don't want to be." Said Kama crossing her arms over her chest. They were outside Nicole and Kama's room when Jols ran past.

"Jols what's wrong?" asked Dag.

Jols paused for a second to say, "Saxons." then ran round a corner towards Arthur's room.

Kama and Nicole looked at each other and ran as fast as they could outside. Breathless they bounded up the stairs, "Oh god…" whispered Nicole looking at the mass of torches.

"That's a lot of Saxons." Murmured Kama. A few seconds later Arthur and Gwenivere were on the battlements next to them. After staring at the torches Arthur walked down the steps, just like in to movie Lancelot approached him and Confronted Arthur.

"This will be a ruff night." Said Nicole going back to her room.

-Next Morning the knights are leaving with everyone else. Nicole and Kama are riding in a cart with Sara and Nana. Tristian and Dag are riding their horses next to them.

"Can't believe we are leaving." Whispered Kama.

"Calm down we will fight it will just take sometime." Said Nicole. After a few minutes it happened Lancelot's horse got nervous and paced back and forth trying to turn back.

He calmed his horse down and looked back at his fellow knights, who were calming their horses. Once the horses were calmed all of the knights but Dag and Tristian stated to ride back. The two remaining knights looked at Nicole and Kama.

"We have to go." said Dag.

"And we are coming with you." Said Kama trying to get out of the cart.

"No you won't." said Dag.

"You have no right to tell me what to do, besides you will need all the help you can get."

"You are not going to be put in harms way if I can help it." Said Dag.

"A little help Nicole." Said Kama turning to her friend.

Nicole sighed then looked up saying, " Opportunity is such a fickle thing. It's not the opportune moment to choose this battle."

"What are you talking about Nicole?" The light bulb went off in Kama's head.

"Nicole we can't just let them go." said Kama.

"We have to. I couldn't stand it if Tristian was hurt at all, especially if there was something I could have done to prevent it." Explained Nicole looking at Tristian the whole time.

Kama plopped down in the cart pouting. "Kama?" asked Dag.

"Just go before I jump out of this cart and chase after you." Said Kama.

"Good-bye Tristian." Said Nicole leaning out of the cart and kissing him on the cheek.

"Kama I'm sorry." Said Dag desperately.

Kama turned to him sadly, "Are you sure I can't come?"

"Not this time." Said Dag just as sadly as Kama had asked. Kama blew a kiss as he and Tristian rode back to help Arthur.

"You lasses had best get goin' if you intend on fighting." Said Nana.

"Oh we do but we can't run back." Said Nicole.

"Take the horses tied in the back." Said Sara.

"Thank-you so much." Said Nicole hugging Sara and Nana. Nicole and Kama got on the horses and rode bareback to the woods were they'd met Merlin.

They worked their way through the masses to find Gwenivere, "I was wondering if you two would make it. Come with me and we can get you dressed in the proper clothing." In a matter of time the two friends were dressed just like Woad warrior women.
