Twilight in Camelot

Chapter 5
I do NOT own anything, Stephenie Meyer does…*runs out of room crying*

Everything came back to me slowly at first and then in a big rush. I had met Edward on the tower every night for four months. We had kissed. Someone had seen us. My mother was going to behead me. Okay, so maybe that last one was a little out there but I wouldn't put it past her. When my vision finally focused I saw my mother on the other side of the room being held by my father, King Arthur. She was crying. Sitting over in a corner was a servant I recognized. Her name was Katherine. She was crying too but not as much. She must have been the one to tell Guinevere. Off in the distance I heard a sound. I looked over to where the sound was coming from and realized that the sound was yelling and it was coming from the door. I saw several highly trusted knights holding the door from breaking. I also heard someone beating on the door. I slowly realized that it was Edward who was yelling and beating the door. I wanted to scream at the knights to let him in. I wanted to get up from the bed I was lying on, push the knights away, and let Edward hold me in his arms and tell me that everything would be fine. That he would be there for me no matter what, but I couldn't get up. I couldn't move. I was frozen to where I lay. I waited for someone to say something, to yell at me for being so stupid. For doing this to my mother and ruining my relationship with Edward and everyone else. No one did.
I don't know how long I stayed there just lying down. Probably just a few hours, but to me it felt like months. Guinevere finally left, but Arthur stayed. He stayed there, holding my hand the whole time and telling me he loved me. I think I must have cried. They never let Edward in. This upset me the most. I wanted him to hold me, to comfort me as only he could. Finally I sat up and asked Arthur what was going to happen to me. He told me that I probably needed to ask Guinevere that. So I did.
She came into my room completely fine from her crying fit.
"Guinevere…" I had no idea what to say.
"Do you have any idea of what you have done?! How you have soiled your good name and the family's?! The kingdom's?! I thought you knew better than this Isabella. I expected more from you." Anyone could tell that she was repressing her true anger.
"I…I…I…" All I could do was sob. I wanted Edward here now more than ever. I wanted him to run his fingers through my hair and rub soothing circles on my back. But he couldn't be here. He wasn't allowed here with his 'betters'. "I couldn't…"
"You couldn't help yourself could you? You were wooed. Isabella I never thought you were the kind of girl who would fall for something like that. Do you realize what kind of a reputation you have just made for yourself?" She was yelling, too mad to try to hide it.
"I LOVE HIM!" I hope he heard that. I hope everyone heard that.
"I will butt that silliness out of your head at once! We shall speak later!" and she left. I broke down again.


MORNING

Guinevere walked in with a sense of accomplishment about her. I could tell also that she had something important to tell me. I was still in my room because "I had not fully recovered." At least that is what the physician said.
"Isabella, I have something important to say."
"What is it, Guinevere?" Was my obedient answer.
"You are getting married!" ..Happening.
"To who, Guinevere?"
"A young prince named Michael Van Newton! Oh, it shall be wonderful. He is coming tomorrow to meet you! You will be wed in a month if all goes well." And with that she left. And I burst into tears.


Bedtime

"Goodnight, Isabella," Guinevere said. She was about to leave but she said: "Oh, and don't think about running off with that knight. He has been taken care of and I have someone in here with you as you sleep." She said with a devious smile. 'Taken care of'? She couldn't mean…no. That couldn't be it. It just couldn't…could it?
