Chapter 1

Katie smiled as she trotted along the path. Her maid, Ellie, and friend Isabelle followed her keeping close.

"I am so glad to be home at last. It's been ages." Katie sighed happily. Ellie giggled.

"I wonder if they missed us." she sighed wistfully. Katie and Izzy smirked at each other.

"Don't you mean, I wonder if Arthur missed me?" They asked together teasingly. Ellie blushed and trotted past them as they started laughing.

They rode up the hill and all of them smiled when they saw the castle. Katie turned to the other two smiling evilly.

"Race you." she challenged before galloping off. Ellie and Izzy raced after her, leaving the guards that travelled with them behind. They raced through the gate leaving the two guards there bewildered.

Ellie over took them in the market and galloped into the courtyard seconds before Katie and Isabelle.

"Hahaha. I won." she said smiling proudly dismounting from Lily. It was only then that she noticed Uther, Arthur and Morgana standing there along with other people that she didn't recognise. Katie smiled happily and dismounted running over to them.

"Uncle" she cried out hugging him. He hugged back before pulling away and looking her over. Ellie grabbed hold of Katie's horses' reigns and led the horses to the stables. Arthur looked over at her and smiled softly. Ellie smiled back, blushing.

Izzy walked over to her father and he hugged her gently. She looked over at the knight next to him and smiled at him.

"Hey Rob." she said pulling away from her dad. Robert smiled back at her.

"How was your trip sweetheart?" He asked kissing her cheek.

"It was good. Loads of fun." she said happily.

Katie pulled away from Uther and turned to Arthur. She rushed into his open arms.

"God, I missed you Kat." he whispered into her ear before they all headed inside. Merlin, who was standing behind him raised an eyebrow. He turned to Guinevere.

"Who are they?" Merlin asked curiously. Gwen looked at him.

"That girl there is Katherine." she said huffing. "Arthur's cousin. That one there." she pointed at Izzy. "Is Isabelle. She's Uther's knights daughter. She's also going out with sir Robert." she added when she noticed Merlin's watching Izzy carefully. Merlin turned back to Gwen.

"And the other one?" he asked as he saw Ellie run up to Katie.

"That's Elizabeth." she said with distain. "Katie's maid." Merlin looked at her wondering what made her hate Ellie so much.

Please review. Should I continue? :)
