"Ouch!" I winced as I got to my feet. Elaine was really heavy, and I was beneath her.
"Why did you do this?" she asked.
"I'm your best friend. I'm not gonna stand by and watch you die."
"I'm so touched."
"Let's go to the library. Maybe we can find things out."
"Mordred
Mordred was the son of Arthur and Morgawse, half-sister of Arthur. Arthur had not known that Morgawse was his sister, and when Lot was absence, Arthur had made love to her—"
"That's sick."
"Very. Which means that somebody else likes him too."
"Who? Mona?"
"Le Morgawse? Oh God, her last name is Morgawse! She's my 'sister'! And William he… They're going on a date tonight!"
"We've got to stop them. We can't let Mordred be born and have more power!" I leapt to my feet.
"How?"
I just took off at a full sprint to Camelot Tower. Where William stays.
Lance opened the door. He looked at me sourly. "What do you want?"
"Where's William?"
"Gone already. Look, you and Elaine aren't trying to stop them, do you? Wait! Don't run off!"
I ran past him, grabbed one of those hockey sticks for self-defence, and me and Elaine ran out of the school compounds.
