REVIEW:
The silence was broken with a familiar voice screaming, "I'm going to die!" and a horse pounding across the land. Gawain and Scarlett ran up a hill they saw a man on a horse with a woman I front of him. He pushed the woman off and Tristan caught her. The horse man turned and rode away.

"Belle are you alright?" asked Kelley as the three girls watched Tristan untie her hands.
"Yea I thi…EEKK!" Kelley, Scarlett, and Sharon all tackled her as soon as Tristan had freed her.
"Air!" gasped Belle.
A chorus of 'ows' sounded as Tristan pulled them off of Belle none to gently. "Golly Tristan we figured you missed her but geez." Said Scarlett as Gawain helped her up. Tristan ignored her and pulled Belle up and gently rubbed her wrist.
Belle tried to ignore the warming sensation running through her body as his touch, "So um…how bad is it?"
"You will live." He said still looking at her wrist. The rest of the group had walked ahead giving them some privacy. Belle grinned and turned her head observing him, Tristan looked up and Belle took half a step back at the sudden intensity of his gaze. Tristan let go of her wrist and they fell to her side but Belle could feel the warm circles on her wrist.
"What?"
"You said more than two words." Grinned Belle going to catch up with the rest of the group.
The sun was almost set when they reached the fort, "Just in time to visit the tavern." Said Bors.
"Just out of curiosity is that all you ever think about?" asked Kelley.
"And other things." He said raising his eyebrows a few times.
"Men." Said Scarlett rolling her eyes.
"What about us?" asked Gawain grinning.
"You're complete and total pigs." Laughed Scarlett.
"Oh really?"
"Yes really." She nodded.
Gawain dropped Scarlett's hand then he quickly picked her up over his shoulder and started walking through the streets, "Gawain you oaf put me down!" laughed Scarlett.
"Oh I'm an oaf now?" he asked looking over a shoulder.
"Yes, oh yuck hair in the face," said Scarlett sputtering, "So back to my point of you putting me down."
"What about my hair?" asked Gawain.
"A horses' tail doesn't have half as much as you. Now put me down." Said Scarlett.
"Now I'm a horse's tail?"
"Whatever it takes for you to put me down." Laughed Scarlett.
"I think you will stay there for awhile." Said Gawain.
"Oh no I won't." Scarlett reached down and pinched Gawain's butt.
He gave a startled yelp and nearly dropped Scarlett, "That won't work." Scarlett reached up and whispered in Gawain's ear he stopped he looked at Scarlett who grinned and winked.
Gawain put her down, "Men are all the same. I had to do was…ahhh!" Scarlett ducked behind Bors.
"Save me!" Bors chuckled, "Now leave the poor lass alone." Scarlett stuck her tong out at Gawain.
"Thanks Bors." She kissed him on the cheek the skipped back to her friends.
"Bors she confuses me."
"She's a woman get used to it lad." Bors clapped him on the back as they walked into the palace gates.
&&&&&
"I don't think your little friends like me very much." said Sharon.
There were several tavern maids glaring as they passed, "They will not stay mad."
"Oh really we will have to fix that." Sharon stopped and turned on Lancelot then she pulled the front of his shirt to her. Their lips exploded together and Sharon's arms went to Lancelot's neck as his circled around her waist.
When they finally pulled away Sharon grinned, "I think they will never speak to you again." Then she pulled away and walked back to Belle.
"Heya sis."
"Nice kiss."
"Yea he was ok." Said Sharon winking at Lancelot as they passed him.
&&&&&
Galahad and Kelley had put their arms around each others waist. "Are you glad to be home?" asked Kelley.
"Very, and do you like it here so far?"
"Yes I do except for the walking that I had to do." Smiled Kelley.
"I just cannot wait to be free and go back to Sarmatia." He said.
"How long until then?"
"Just a couple of weeks. We were going to be getting the papers soon." Said Galahad.
Kelley laughed, "Looking forward to seeing your homeland?" This of course sent Galahad into a spew of stories about how beautiful the grass was and how blue the sky was.
"You will see it again." Said Kelley resting her head on his shoulder.
"I hope so." He sighed.
"You'd better. Besides what is a couple of weeks compared to fifteen years?" asked Kelley.
"I suppose you are right."
"I know I'm right." Grinned Kelley.
"Will you be alright living here?" asked Galahad.
"Yea I think I'll enjoy it." Said Kelley.
"Good. First thing tomorrow I'll give you a tour of the fort."
"If you don't drink too much at the tavern." Said Kelley grinning.
"I hold my ale very well." Said Galahad.
"If you say so." Grinned Kelley.
"Kelley!" called Scarlett.
"What?"
"Come here." Kelley groaned then pulled away from Galahad and walked back to her friends.
"What?"
"We have a problem." Said Sharon.
"Can't it wait until Arthur gives us our rooms?" asked Kelley.
"Ladies Jols will show you where you may sleep while you are here." Said Arthur indicating a man.
"Thanks Arthur." Said Belle.
Jols took the girls to their rooms that happened to be located down the hall from the knight's room. The four women were all sitting on Belle's bed as Belle told them the conversation she had with Merlin. "I think Dag is the one we aren't supposed to save." Said Belle.
"Why?" asked Scarlett.
"I think because none of us hold his heart. Which doesn't make a lot of sense because no of us hold Tr.."
A heavy knock on the door interrupted them, "Who is it?"
"It's Dag, may I come in?"
"Sure." Dag opened the door, "Tristan told me that you had some bruises Belle."
"Not really."
"Could I see?" he asked.
"Sure," she said getting up, "I don't see why he told you to check on me though."
"You didn't break anything but I'd like to wrap up your wrist with some salve to help with any swelling."
"If that will make you feel better." Said Belle, "I still don't know why Tristan sent you though."
"For the same reason that he threw us over, he cares about you." Said Sharon.
"I don't think so." Said Belle.
"Dag you've known Tristan fifteen years what do you think?" asked Scarlett.
"Well," he said tying a knot in Belle's second bandage, "I haven't seen him treat any woman like he has you."
"Point and case, Tristan likes you." Said Scarlett.
"But..."
"No buts about it you hold Tristan's heart." Grinned Kelley.
"Are you coming to the tavern?" Asked Dag.
"Heck yea!" said Kelley jumping off the bed.
"No I don't think that it would be wise if we went out in our present clothing." Said Belle.
"Aww Belle come on stop being a mother hen." Whined Kelley.
"I can bring you other cloths." Said Dag.
"Alright way to save the night Dag." Grinned Sharon.
"I'll be right back."
"While he's gone how do we save him?"
"Two of us can run out with shields and the other two with axes to break the ice." Said Scarlett.
"That's really dangerous." Said Belle.
"I like it." Said Sharon.
"Me too." Said Kelley.
"Three to one Belle." Said Scarlett.
"Democracy rules." Said Kelley.
"Democracy hasn't even really been created yet." Said Belle.
"Fine then as the oldest here I am taking charge and saying that's the plan." Said Sharon.
"You are only oldest by age maturity wise I am older than all of you." Said Belle.
Dag came back in and he was caring a bag, "There should be cloths for tonight, Jols is trying to find more for you." Said Dag.
"Thanks so much Dag." Said Belle taking the bag. Dag nodded and left, Belle dumped out the bag.
"At least they aren't dresses." Said Sharon grabbing a pair of breeches. The girls changed and walked to the tavern.
&&&&&
"Where's Lancelot?" asked Sharon. Gawain pointed Sharon went over to where Lancelot was gambling with Romans.
She put an arm around his shoulders and he looked up grinning, "Do you want to sit?"
"No thanks I'll let you know." She stood there watching after Lancelot lost twice she spoke up.
"I've never played this before but you are supposed to win aren't you?"
"Yes." Ground out Lancelot.
The three men laughed and Sharon went and sat in one of the Roman's lap. Lancelot looked very pissed but the Roman grinned, "It looks like she knows who the real man is."
"You want to know what else I know?" asked Sharon leaning close.
"What?" grinned the soldier.
"That you are playing with loaded dice." Sharon reached to the man's side and stood up tossing the dice on the table.
"What? Why you low down dog!" growled one of the other Romans.
Sharon sat in Lancelot's lap smiling, "What?"
"That was…"
"Impressive? Wonderful? Beautiful? Amazing? I know."
"All and more." Said Lancelot pulling Sharon in for a kiss.
&&&&&
"How much have you drunk Galahad?" asked Kelley.
"Just a few mugs." He replied swaying.
"You're wasted Galahad you should really stop drinking now." Said Kelley.
"No I'm finnn yer thould try some." He slurred.
"Come on Galahad." Said Kelley.
She stood and pulled Galahad up with her, "But I don't wanna go." He whined.
"You'll thank me in the morning." Assured Kelley.
"Poor Galahad." Laughed Scarlett.
"How much did he drink?" asked Belle looking up from the baby she was holding.
"I lost count." said Scarlett. Gawain came and sat next to Scarlett and started kissing her neck, "Well hello to you too. God Gawain how much have you had to drink?" Scarlett pulled away.
"Why does it matter?"
Gawain leaned in for a kiss but Scarlett pulled away, "You smell horrible that's why. I would also prefer not to have my breath smell as bad as yours does." Explained Scarlett.
"You should loosen up." Said Gawain pinching Scarlett's butt.
"I will when you sober up but it doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon." She pulled out of his lap and stomped out of the tavern.
"Is she always like that?" asked Gawain.
"When you treat her like that." Said Belle, "If you go talk to her she might not get too mad at you." Gawain drank the rest of his mug then walked out after Scarlett.
After awhile Belle got up, "Where are you goin' lass?" asked Bors.
"It's too late for me, I'm going to sleep."
"Night then lass." Said Bors.
"Goodnight to all of you." Said Belle.
Tristan pushed off the wall and followed her she felt him behind her, "Tristan you can walk next to me I promise I don't bite."
Tristan quietly walked next to her, "Are you better?"
"Yep, Dag came by my room and put some stuff on my wrist to help with swelling." Said Belle. She showed him one of her wrist he looked at it and nodded his approval.
"Which way to the wall?" Tristan turned and led her up some stairs Belle smiled, "This is wonderful. It's so peaceful."
Belle looked out at the field then she lay down and looked up. Tristan stood over Belle, "Come on lay down." She said patting the wall next to her. Tristan watched her for a moment then laid next to her.
"I think that I'm going to like it here it's more peaceful." Said Belle.
Tristan made a noise that she translated as 'yea right', "And I'm guess you hate it here." Tristan nodded.
Belle propped herself on an elbow facing Tristan. Tristan stared over at Belle before he let the question slip, "Why?"
Belle saw the storm brewing in his eyes and hesitated, "Why?" he repeated sitting up.
Belle sat up facing him, "You see nothing but the darkness around you. You don't feel, you don't see, you don't care."
Belle moved and put his hair behind his ears and she continued, "You are shrowded in a darkness that will kill you if you let it. And I d…I don't want that to happen to you. Despite the darkness and the wall around your heart you are a good person, whether you'd believe it or not."
Tristan shook his head so his hair would fall back into his face. "I take it back you do feel." She said leaning back.
"You feel fear."
Belle stood but Tristan grabbed one of her wrist, "I fear nothing." He let go of her. 'Why do I care what she thinks of me?' he wondered.
"You fear love." Said Belle quietly, "Goodnight Tristan." Belle turned and left Tristan alone.
