Chapter Eleven: Two More

Natalie rode up next to her sister as soon as the caravan started moving.

"Hey, what happened back there? It's not like you to do that." Natalie said.

Val didn't even look at her and then Tristan rode up next to Natalie. Natalie looked at him.

"Did she say anything?" he asked only so Natalie could hear.

"No." Natalie answered and then looked back at Valerie.

"Hey. I'm talking to you." She said firmly.

"You should know why I did that Natalie." Val yelled at her.

Natalie was taken back. Valerie never yelled at her. Never.

"You were barely home and I was the one beaten, Natalie. More then you. He didn't hit you with a piece of metal pipe on your back did he?" she yelled again.

Natalie got angry and said something she hadn't even told Valerie.

"You weren't raped by him were you, Valerie? That's why I took training. To get away from him. That's why I went to the hospital that day. To get an abortion." And Natalie turned around rode.

She rode past Lancelot and Galahad who just looked at her. Lancelot rode up next to Valerie.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Nothing that concerns you." Valerie said and rode up front.

Lancelot looked at Tristan and then back at the direction Natalie went in.

"You should go get her before something bad happens. I'll try to talk to Valerie." Tristan said.

Lancelot nodded. He turned around and went to find Natalie.

Natalie rode until the caravan was no longer visable. She stopped and dismounted her horse and went over to a tree and sat down and leaned against it. Tyler walked over to her and nudged Natalie. She didn't respond. Tyler just laid down next to Natalie and put her head over Natalie's shoulder. Natalie petted Ty's nose. Tears fell from her eyes as painful memories came back to her. She lifted her sleeve and looked at the tattoo on the bottom of her wrist. It was a cross with a skull behind it and a rose on top of the cross. It wasn't that big, but she liked it and that's why she got it. But also because it meant 'great knight of the eras'. Then she heard hoof beats coming her way. She ignored the sound and looked back down at her tattoo and then covered it back up.

Lancelot got off his horse and walked over to Natalie. Her horse looked up and stood up. Lancelot stopped as the horse neared him but Tyler did nothing. She looked at him and then back at Natalie then walked over to his horse. Natalie looked up at Lancelot but looked back down. She stood up and walked over to him. Lancelot pulled her into a hug and she responded and wrapped her arms around his neck. Tears fell from her face. Lancelot put her at arms length with his hands on her shoulders.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I'm not sure I'm ready to tell anyone." She said.

He looked down and he desptretly wanted to know why she was so upset.

"I understand. Let's get back before we get left behind." He told her.

Natalie nodded and walked over to her horse. Lancelot mounted his horse and looked at Natalie.

"I'll be there in a minute. Just give me a moment." She said and he nodded and rode off.

Natalie went to mount her horse when she heard a nose in the bushed behind her. She took out her sword and walked over there. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and pulled back the bush with her sword ready. Her eyes widened.

"Evelyn? Sabina? What are you guys doing here?" Natalie asked her two best friends.

"Um, we don't know. We were riding our horses on a trail and um, we ended up here." Evelyn answered.

"What are you wearing Natalie? You look hot." Sabina said looking at Natalie's out fit.

"Thanks. Come on. You guys need to talk to Arthur." Natalie said going over to her horse.

Sabina and Evelyn looked at each other and grabbed their own horses and made their way over to Natalie.

"Arthur? King Arthur? Don't you dare tell me we went like sixteen hundred years in the past?" Sabina asked.

"Sorry, hon. you did. And Val and I did to like 5 days ago. Come on. You guys need weapons. And instructions from Arthur." Natalie said mounting Ty.

Sabina moved a piece of her blond hair out of her face and got on her black mare, Jay. Evelyn pulled her brunette hair back and mounted her brown stallion, Kyle.

"Let's go. Oh and since you guys are single, I intend on hooking you, Sabina with Dag and you, Evy with Galahad. And no 'buts'." And Natalie cantered her horse.

Sabina and Evelyn looked at each other and smiled and followed Natalie.

Natalie rode up to Arthur and stopped. Sabina and Evelyn on each side of her. Arthur just looked at Sabina and Evelyn and then gave Natalie a questioning look.

"Well, I found them and they went through the same little time warp that Val and I did, so, I'm guessing they'll need weapons. And don't worry, they no archery and how to wield a sword." Natalie said answering his look.

"Okay, then. The last wagon at the end has weapons they can use. And Lancelot filled me in that you and your sister aren't talking. But don't try to talk to her. She threatened to make Galahad a eunuch." Arthur told her.

Natalie looked at her two friends and then at Arthur who just shrugged. Natalie rode to the back followed by her friends and stopped at the wagon with weapons.

"Okay, pick whatever the hell you want." Natalie said.
