Chapter 10 : Last Night Together

"Where do we go from here Lance? The saxons are coming, war is upon us." Luana aksed "And I am still searching for myself in a sort of way." She added in a whisper. Lancelot stroke her hair and gave her a kiss on the crown of her head as she placed it on his shoulder.

Lancelot didn't speak as they just sat under the shadow of the tree with each others presence. He wanted to say something, something to reassure her. But his mind couldn't find the right words. Letting out a smal sigh, Lancelot pulled her closer to him.

"How is your wound?" He asked carefully, trying to change the subject.

"Almost healed." Luana answered with a small smile, showing Lancelot the wound. It was slowly disappearing again, like it was never there in the first place. Just in the memories of that day.

Lancelot's fingers traced across the scar before he looked up from it and pressed his lips against Luana's in a passionate kiss. He looked her straight in the eye and brushed some of her dirty brown hair out of her eyes.

Luana looked away and sighed deeply. Lancelot frowned, placing his rough hand on her porcelain cheek and forcing her to look at him.

"Listen to me, everything is going to work out in the end."

Luana took a deep breath. "I can't help it but I keep worrying about everything."

Lancelot nodded "You're getting paranoid." He added a little smirk to show her he was joking. Luana rolled her eyes and laughed a little.Lancelot took her smaller hand in his and pulled her up.

They walked through the city, ignoring the people that were shouting against some one on the other side. Or at the carriages of the leaving romans. The whole city was in an uproar. The knights were finally free of their Roman bounds and slowly, the soldiers from Rome left England one by one.

Everyone knew that the Saxons were coming closer and that they were on the edge of war. Every single woman was afraid for her husband. Every mother was afraid for her child. It was what the war did to your family. It was what the war did to the people.

Luana looked around the city, clinging onto Lancelot as they walked through the hallway of the dorms.

"Luana." Alecto's voice caused the young girl to stop dead in her tracks. Lancelot moved in front of her as soon as he saw Alecto standing behind them. Luana placed her hand on his shoulder and reached out to whisper something in his ear.

"You sure?"

"Very sure." Lancelot nodded unsure and gave her a peck on the cheek before he walked past Alecto, leaving him all alone with Luana.

"We're heading out for Rome." The young boy started "I'm guessing you won't be joining us?"

"No I'm not." Luana answered rapidly. Alecto looked at the floor, fiddling with the sleeves of his robe. Luana managed a small smile at him as he finally dared to make eye contact.

"Will you take care of Lucan? Like you always did?"

"He will be spoiled rotten." Luana smirked "If he isn't already."

She gave Alecto one last hug, bidding him farewell and telling him to take care before she walked further down the hall in search for Tristan or Lancelot.

"How's Arthur?"

"Overloaded by worry." Tristan said simply.

Luana sighed and sat down against the wall of the fortress. Tristan gave her and apple as he slowly took his place next to her. All of the sudden, the hawk came to sit on Luana's shoulder, causing her to flinch for a small moment. Tristan chuckled and carefully took the bird from his sister.

Luana took a bite from the apple and looked straight in the eyes of the bird on her brothers arm.

"What's troubling you?"

"A little bit of everything I think."

Tristan frowned at her answer but nodded anyway. He placed his arm over her shoulders and pulled her in a hug. Luana laid her head on his shoulder and chewed on her apple as she looked at all the passing people.

Luana's eyes darted back to the hawk that started to pick in the ground in search for worms. She smiled slightly at the animal as Tristan looked in front of him with his back against the fortress wall.

"It's so strange..." Luana softly whispered.

"What is?"

"I got this feeling...that something bad is about to happen."

Tristan looked at his sister with a questionable look in his eyes, knowing she wouldn't see it anyway since her eyes were still fixated on the searching bird.

"Not everything happens the way we want it-"

"And we have to accept that. Yes I know." Luana interrupted, rollling her eyes slightly. "But that doesn't remove the feeling."

Tristan managed a weak smile as his younger sister stood up and leaned against the wall on one leg.

"You shouldn't be worrying this much Luana. You should concentrate on getting some more of your memories back."

Luana looked away with her arms crossed over her chest. Tristan shook his head at his stubborn sister and stood up from the dirty ground. Luana's eyes kept looking at the other side of the city.

"Believe me on this sister. Once you have your memories back – even the bad ones- everything shall change."

"But what if it doesn't? I mean, what more can change once I get my memories back?" Luana asked her brother, finally looking back at him.

"Luana, listen to me. You can't fight against the saxons with us." Lancelot grabbed her by her two arms and looked her straight in the eye.

"Why not?" Her determined eyes bore straight through him.

"Because none of the knights will fight against the saxons." Arthurs voice interrupted Lancelot. His grip on Luana's arms loosened as he turned around to face Arthur with an open mouth and a surprised look in his eyes.

"What do you mean with that Arthur? Of course we are going to fight the saxons."

"No you won't Lancelot. You and the other knights will return for Sarmatia instead of staying here. This isn't your fight."

"Arthur! You can't be serious that you're planning to fight them on your own." Luana yelled at him. The commanders eyes widend slightly at her reaction as she walked closer to him.

"That must be the stupidest thing I've ever heard." She whispered in a dangerous tone with her face inches away from his.

The other knights abruptly entered the room, looking at the interaction between Luana and Arthur with amazement as the small girl began to talk back to Arthur and his ridiculous plans.

Lancelot raised his eyebrows at Tristan on the other side of the room who just shrugged and showed a little smirk at his sister. Luana glared at Arthur one last time before she stormed out of the room, leaving the commander speachless behind.

"Clearly she's not like Tristan after all." Bors said, breaking the silence that overtook the room. Arthur leaned against the wall with his mouth slightly open and his eyes widened. Lancelot rolled his eyes and looked at Bors with a look of "now is not the time" on his face.

"What's the matter Arthur? Lost your tongue?" Gawain joked, trying to get Arthur out of his state of shock.

"He couldn't find the words after you left 'im there." Luana laughed nervously, shifting on Lancelots lap while she played with a stray of hair. Lancelot's arms around her waist gave her a certain feeling of security in the loud –and sometimes dangerous- pub.

His breath tickled her neck as he started to give her small kisses on her neck to relax her.

"You've got yerself a woman Lance." Bors smirked, taking a sip from his drink.

"Can you handle her?" Galahad asked with a bright smile. Luana raised her eyebrows at Galahad.

"The question is...can I handle him?" She retorted.

The knight laughed loud, causing some of the people in the bar to look around in shock. They all ordered some more drinks and began to joke around. Lancelot however, was quiet in opposite of the other knights around the table.

Luana frowned a little and threw her arms around his neck, placing a small kiss on his silent lips. His brown eyes connected with her own as he finally managed a weak smile.

"What's troubling you?" She asked with a hint of worry in her sweet voice. Fires were burning behind them but the winter was still over the country as Luana suddenly shivered slightly.

Lancelot pulled her tiny body to his and softly whispered something in her ear. Luana laughed as the other knights directed their attention to the couple with a frown on their faces.

The young sarmatian girl stood up from Lancelot's lap, pulling him away from the bar. The other knights started to yell things behind their backs but Luana didn't care. When Lancelot finally realized where they were going, he took her wrist and leaded her instead.

Luana suddenly stopped and pressed his body against the wall while she pressed her soft lips against his in a passionate kiss. His arms circled around her tiny waist just as she pulled back. Lancelot smirked and continued his way down the hallway with Luana following him closely.

His room was dark but the small lights coming from the several candles gave the room a special feeling. Lancelot pressed Luana's body against the wall, pinning her down with his own body.

She laughed a little as she returned the kiss he gave her, placing her legs around his waist. Lancelots arms surrounded her tiny waist as her hands moved under his thin shirt. Her fingers trailed across his chest as he removed his shirt slowly.

Luana smiled a little and pulled Lancelot's body closer to hers while she threw her arms around his neck. His rough hands slowly moved under her own shirt as she raised her arms above her head so he could remove it.

"Lancelot! Come to the wall!" A knock woke Luana up as she shot up from the bed. A cold wind made her realize in what state she was before she wrapped the blanket around her figure.

She looked next to her and smiled slightly at the sleeping figure of Lancelot. Slowly, she bowed over him and gave him a small kiss on the lips.

"They want you at the wall Lance." She softly whispered as he opened his eyes. He gave her a smile and nodded tiredly, getting up.

Lancelot walked up the wall, greeting the other knights while Luana just looked over the wall at the camp of the saxons in front of the fortress. Her mouth widened as she looked at the Lancelots reaction.

"Someone get Arthur now."

Luana nodded and ran down the stairs towards the dorms, knocking loudly on Arthurs door once she arrived.

"Arthur, we need you at the wall. Right now!" She yelled, waiting for him to open the door. Arthur looked up from the small pieces of broken stone to his door, frowning slightly as he opened the door and saw Luana standing breathless in front of him.

"What happened?" He asked immediately.

"We need you at the wall." Luana repeated, stepping aside as Arthur ran out of his room towards the wall.

She took another deep breath before running behind Arthur, her green dress flowing behind her as she moved up the stairs and was pulled into a hug by Tristan. Luana pulled back and frowned at her brother who just gave her a smile and kissed her forehead before stepping aside.

Luana looked over the wall again, still horrified by the amount of Saxons camped in front of her. She leaned back, meeting Lancelot's chest as she placed her head on it.

Arthur looked at each one of his knights and then his eyes locked in with Guineveres. The woad nodded and looked determined, hoping that nobody knew what she was planning. Arthur took a deep breath, reading the worry of his knights faces.

Turning away from Lancelots gaze, he watched the people on the ground. Every single one of them was watching him and the knights with intrest, wondering what was about to happen to them.

His eyes darted back to Lancelot and Luana who's eyes were closed. Slowly, he opened his mouth to speak.

"Knights. My journey with you must end here." His eyes locked in with Lancelots who bit his lip and looked away from his friend. "May God go with you."

Arthur turned around, leaving the knights alone. Lancelot shook his head and looked at Luana who once again, looked over the wall. They locked eyes and the young sarmatian girl gave a nod to her lover before he stormed of to follow Arthur down the steps of the wall.

"Arthur. This is not Rome's fight." Luana turned around, surprised by his words. "It is not your fight." She looked at the other knights who stood up to see what Lancelot had to say. Luana picked up her dress and ran after him.

"All these long years we've been together, the trials we've faced, the blood we've shed... What was it all for, if not for the reward of freedom? And now when we are so close! When it is finally within our grasp - look at me!"

Lancelot grabbed Arthurs arms, forcing him to look at the first knight. Luana looked at Guinevere standing in the crowd. The woad was looking with intrest at the interaction between Arthur and Lancelot, just like the rest of the people that had gathered around the wall.

"Does it all count for nothing?" Lancelot's voice asked Arthur while their eyes met each other in a gaze that send shivers down Luana's spine.

"You ask me that. You who know me best of all?

"Then do not do this! Only certain death awaits you here. Arthur! I beg you! For our friendship's sake, I beg you." Lancelot looked pleading in Arthur's eyes, trying to convince his best friend not to do it.

Arthur looked into the deep brown eyes of his first knight and grabbed his arms thightly while not letting his eyes look away.

"You be my friend now and do not dissuade me. Seize the freedom you have earned and live it for the both of us. I cannot follow you, Lancelot. I now know that all the blood I have shed, all the lives I have taken have led me to this moment."

Slowly, he turned around, Lancelot watched his friend disappear between the people as he let out a tired sigh. Luana placed her hand on his shoulder causing Lancelot to look over it and smile at her.

"You should respect his choice Lancelot. And his wish."

"If only he wasn't so stubborn." Lancelot grumbled under his breath.

Luana's eyes followed Guinevere for a brief moment. The knight smiled sweetly as she saw Guinevere sneaking behind Arthur and running towards the dorms.

Luana gave Lancelot a small kiss in the crook of his neck before shoving him towards the dorms.

"Come on. You need some more sleep."

"Sleep?" Lancelot raised an eyebrow and looked behind him as Luana gave him another push to get going.

"Yes Lancelot. Sleep."

Lancelot laughed a little and wrapped his arm around her waist before walking to the dorms, knowing that the other knights were probably laughing behind his back.
