Chapter 4
After Gaius had bandaged Lancelot's arm he gave him some sleeping draught. Arthur and Merlin had already left knowing that he was in safe hands. Katie had stayed so she could get some hands on experience. Gaius turned to her.
"I have to leave for a while and do my rounds." He explained picking up his bag. "I'll be back soon. If he wakes up, make sure he stays in bed." He said sternly and left, leaving Katie on her own sitting next to Lancelot.
Merlin watched Arthur pacing anxiously.
"Sire, are you unwell?" He asked worriedly. Arthur had been acting strange all day. Arthur turned to him.
"Yes, I'm fine. I just…" Arthur sat down. "I just need to think." He sighs. "Take the rest of the day off." Arthur added staring out the window. Merlin stared at him his mouth wide open in shock. But Merlin, not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, didn't say anything and left, planning on talking to Gaius about Arthur's strange behaviour.
Isabelle picked up her basket and left closing the door quietly behind her. She walked towards the market and bought loads of different ingredients for her dinner that night. She had just paid for some vegetables when she felt someone bump into her.
"I am so sorry." She heard a male's voice say. Isabelle looked up and gasped quietly getting lost in the boys eyes. "Are you alright, my lady?" The boy asked snapping her out of her trance.
"Oh, erm, yes. I'm fine thank you." Izzy replied. "I'm Isabelle. But you can call me Izzy." She held out her hand. Merlin smiled.
"I'm Merlin." And he kissed the back of her hand softly. Izzy blushed then noticed Rob coming towards them.
"I'm sorry Merlin, but I must go." She picked up her basket. "I hope to meet you again one day. But in better circumstances." She said with a smile. Merlin nodded in return and watched her leave.
Lancelot stirred and Katie sat up watching him carefully. Lancelot's eyes fluttered quickly before opening and focusing on Katie.
"Who are you?" he asked his voice hoarse. Katie got him a glass of water.
"I am Lady Katherine." She replied smiling. "But you can call me Katie." Lancelot smiled back and looked around before sitting up.
"Where is Gaius? He asked standing up. Katie frowned.
"He is not here. Now please sit back down." She said sternly. Lancelot ignored her and picked up his shirt. Katie glared. "I said sit back down." She commanded and pushed him on his chest. Lancelot took a step back and stumbled neither one of them noticing the fallen broom behind him. He fell back onto the bed, but not before grabbing Katie and bringing her down with him.
Gaius opened the door and gaped seeing the scene in front of him. Lancelot was on the bed with Katie onto of him their lips connected. Gaius coughed trying to cover up a laugh.
"If you two want some time alone you only have to ask." He said smirking. Katie screeched and jumped up blushing. Lancelot stayed where he was his eyes still wide with shock.
"It wasn't…we didn't…It was…" Katie said quickly. "It's not how you think. He fell and I-" she got cut of by Gaius's laughter.
"What ever you say my dear." He said still chuckling and went to check up on Lancelot. Katie stormed out of the room and back to her chambers, where Ellie was.
Ellie gasped and quickly wiped away tears when Katie came storming in.
"God I hate Gaius sometime-" Katie froze seeing Ellie standing there. "What happened?" she asked her anger disappearing instantly seeing Ellie's red eyes. Ellie shook her head.
"It's nothing." She said trying to smile and went back to making Katie's bed. "What did Gaius do to make you so angry?" she asked trying to change the subject. Katie looked at her suspiciously then sighed.
"Just reading things wrong again." She said helping Ellie make her bed. Ellie smiled gratefully at her. Katie knew that Ellie would come talk to her when she was ready. "Merlin and Arthur brought home a injured man called Lancelot. He is so handsome." Katie blushed. "Anyway," she continued seeing Ellie's smirk. "Gaius, Arthur and Marlin left me with him and when he woke up he tried to get out of bed. And long story short, in my attempts to get him back on the bed we fell over and accidentally kissed." She finished quickly. Ellie nodded her head.
"Sure you did." She said sarcastically. Katie glared at her and threw a pillow at her.
"That's exactly how Gaius reacted." Katie said pouting. Ellie just laughed in response.
