Author: Well, here's chapter ten. I hope you guys are really like this story. I know it's going to be a fairly long story since like some of the stuff is my idea. You can catch those little parts to that I ass so I don't have too much of the movie. This is good, because for all you knew people here on you never want to have your story completely based off a movie or a book. Put some of your own stuff in there to make it good other wise, you are going to get some pretty shity ass reviews. Well, have a good day. CHEERS!
'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to
Sit outside Heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be, yeah...
Where I wanna be...

Chapter Ten: The Lord's Temple
The group walked into what seemed to be a torture chamber of some kind. Natalie got in the front of the group.
"Who are these defilers of the Lord's Temple?" a monk asked blocking a door way.
"Get out of the way." Natalie said pointing her sword at him and he moved aside.
Lancelot followed her. Mangled and dead bodies hung from walls and in cages.
"The work of your God, Arthur. Is this how he answers your prayers?" Lancelot asked turning around looking at Arthur.
"See if any are still alive." Arthur said.
Natalie cut down a chain and looked in the cage to see, but a monk tried to stop her.
"How dare you set foot in this holy place." He said and she turned around and stabbed him.
She took her sword out of the monk and let the body fall to the ground.
"There, was a man of God." Another monk said.
"Not my God!" Natalie yelled at him.
"This one's dead." Dag said moving to another cage.
"By the smell, they are all dead. And you. You even move, you'll join him." Valerie said to the monk in the temple.
Arthur looked into a cell and Natalie look at it with him. A young girl the age of Valerie was in there. Arthur looked at Natalie and nodded. Natalie stood up and cut the chain down. Arthur picked up with the young girl and walked out side. Dagonet followed carrying a young boy no older then 9. Natalie sheathed her sword and grabbed a monk by the arm and threw him out into the snow. Valerie did the same with a second monk. Lancelot threw his torch into the snow as he came out. Natalie walked over to Arthur and stabbed his sword into the cold brown earth. Lancelot stood next to her.
"I only wish you hadn't seen that." He said.
"I'm fine. It could have been worse." She said looking into his eyes.
Valerie mounted her horse and rode over to Tristan.
"What way are we going if not south?" she asked.
"East. It means we'll have to cross Saxon lines, but we should be okay." He replied.
Marius came running over and his wife ran and tended to the girl Arthur had saved.
"Stop what you are doing!" Marius yelled.
Arthur stood up.
"What is this madness?" he asked in anger.
"They are all pagans here." Marius replied.
"So are we." Valerie said but Marius ignored her.
"They refuse to do their tasks God has set for them." He said.
"You mean they refuse to be your serfs!" Arthur yelled.
Marius looked taken back for a moment but shook it off.
"You are a Roman. You understand and you are Christian. You! You kept them alive!" he yelled and slapped his wife hard across the face. Valerie couldn't take this anymore. Her memories were seeping into her mind. She got off her horse and unsheathed her sword. Marius turned and looked at her. Valerie punched him in the face and he fell and she put her sword to his neck. Mercenaries came to help him.
"No, stop! When we get back to the wall, you and Arthur will be punished for the heresy." He said.
"Maybe I should kill you now and seal both our fates." Valerie sneered.
Marius didn't say a word. Valerie removed her sword from his neck and sheathed it. She mounted her horse and didn't say anything. Tristan looked at her with surprise.
I never thought someone like her could be like that. He thought.
Natalie sighed and went over to her horse. Lancelot did the same. They both mounted their horses and waited for Arthur to do something.
"You seemed pretty stressed, Natalie." Lancelot said.
"I have never known my sister to be like that. I'm usually the one to be like that, but I was controlling my anger and I would have killed him so yea." She answered and looked at him.
"You need to take a step down with the violence. I've seen how you fight. It's like as if you're going to die any minute." She laughed.
This was true. She did fight like that but it's just how she was.
Natalie smiled at him and started to fiddle with the reins of her horse and she looked down. She was still smiling.
"What are you smiling about?" Lancelot asked.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking." She replied.
"Yea, you're thinking alright, but everyone knows what you're thinking about." Bors said riding towards the caravan followed by Dagonet and Tristan.
"Ha-ha." Natalie laughed in a sarcastic tone.
God, she's beautiful. Lancelot thought.
