Chapter 2

When i rode into Camelot two years later not much had changed, but it still felt new to me. I was so happy to be back, i had missed the people, and the noise, and Garrett. As soon as i was clear of my mother i rode straight for the stables, just like two years ago. I When i reached the entrance i jumped off my horse and ran inside, eager to see my old friend. Sadly he was nowhere to be scene and after i checked every stall i decided there was only one place left he could be.

I climbed up the ladder to the second floor and crawled over to where his make shift bed used to be. Sure enough he was laying on it sleeping soundly. I crawled closer to him so i could see how much he'd changed. Surprisingly he still looked exactly the same, and here i was hoping to come back and find a grown man in place of the boy I'd once know.

After a few minutes of observation i decided i had let him be lazy long enough. "Garrett." I whispered as i began poking his side. "I'm back." I say a little louder but he doesn't move and I'm starting to get annoyed. " I didn't come all the way to Camelot to watch you sleep." I yell in his ear and he finally wakes up. He rolls over to face me with a look of surprise on his face. "You're back." He says softly as he sits up.

"I'm glad you've noticed." I tell him sarcastically and sit down next to him. "Sorry it took so long, Mother didn't want to make the journey last year." I explain. "How have you been?" I ask as he sits up. "Wonderful, i started my serious training a few months ago, in a few years I'll finally be a knight.'" "That's great. " I tell him and lean over and hug him. When i pull away he is blushing

After two months of only seeing Garrett once a week i was very annoyed and decided to let him know. So one night i asked Mother to let me stay out a little longer and i waited on him to return. I sat on his bed for what seemed like hours before he finally climbed up the latter. "What are you doing here?" He asks with a look of surprise. "I'm angry at you. I've come here everyday for months to see you just to here that you don't have time for me. I know training is important to you but you should at least be able to make a little more time for me. I'm only here for another month you know."

I cross my arms when i finish, pleased with my little speech. He rubs his eyes and moves to sit on the bed beside me. "It's not like that Leah, i have to train all the time so i can hurry up and become a night. I have to be worthy when the time comes." I uncross my arms but glare at him. "Worthy of what?" I ask, i feel myself getting warmer being so close to him. "Of y-" Garrett pauses and sniffs the air. "Whats that smell." I huff and start to climb down the latter. "Your just avoiding the question!" I yell up at him before jumping off the latter. As a move toward the door i noise a strange glowing to mt left.

As i being to move closer a wind blew through the stables and what had once been a few glowing embers ignited the entire stack of hay next to the door. "GARRETT!" I scream and jump back, a few seconds later he's beside me. "What happened? Oh gods, Leah run out the back way and go find the knights, I'll get the horses out!" When i tell Garrett I'm not leaving with out him, he shoves me towards the door and screams "GO!". This time i listen.

I run to the square as fast as me legs will carry me. "Knights you must come now, the stables are on fire!" I yell as loud as i can still coughing from inhaling smoke. Many of the people still out started shouting and caused issues. Thankfully not everyone went crazy. Once i see that several of the knights are answering my pleas i take off running again.

By the time i get back the whole building is in flames but most of the horses are being taken care. I start to panic when i can find Garrett. I scream his name over and over outside the barn until i notice a figure on the ground. I rush over to him and pull his head in my lap. "Garrett, are you okay? Oh Garrett please don't be dead!" I brush the hair out of his eyes and start to cry. He stares blankly up at the sky and I'm sure he's dead until he blinks. "Leah? Is that you? I can't see anything!" He reaches up and i grab his hand in mine. "Yeah it's me." i say. Tears keep pouring down my face. "Every thing is going to be okay." I tell him and wait on someone to come help a knight walks by i grab his leg. "Please help, he's badly injured, i need to get him to a healer." A man who i now recognize as Sir Lionel leans down and picks Garrett up. "I'll get him to Merlin." As he begins to walk away Garrett calls out, "Leah, where are you? Don't leave me!" I run up and grab his hand again. "I'm still here.I promise I'll never leave you when you need me."

But when we reached the castle i was in fact ordered to leave him. Arthur himself told me to go home so my mother wouldn't worry and get some rest. I wasn't even given time to explain so to Garrett before he was rushed inside ahead of me.

My mother was in tears by the time i got home, she had been afraid that i burnt up with the hay. After explaining the her that i wasn't the one that needed to be worried about she hugged me and sent me to bed. Tried as i might to sleep i still spent the whole night awake thinking about Garrett and praying the he was okay.

The next morning my mother grabbed me by the arm as i tried to rush out of the house. "You'd better be back soon young lady, we're leaving today." My jaw dropped. "But why? We cant! Garrett needs me! I promised I'd-" She cut my protests off. "After what happened last night your lucky I'm letting you see him at all. He could have gotten you kissed." My eyes widen in shock. "But mother it wasn't his-" "ENOUGH! Go or were leaving right now." I ran.

Apparently i was expected because a guard show me to where They were keeping Garrett with bothering to ask why i was there. I rushed to his side the moment i was through the door. "Thank gods your all right! i was so worried last night." He sat up in bed but didn't turn his head towards me. "Mother is being just awful, she's insisting we leave today. She always wanted a reason to say at the farm in the winter and now she has one." I grab his hand. "But don't worry I'll talk her into coming back next year, i promise!"

At this point i notice that he still hasn't turned to face me. "Why aren't you looking at me? Please don't be angry at me for leaving last night, i was going to stay be the king ordered that i go home." i grip his hand tighter. "It's not that I'm angry at you." He says, his thumb rubs the back of my hand. He turns he head towards me. "There just no point." I notice that his eyes don't focus on anything. "I'm blind." He states bluntly. Tears slid down my cheeks. "There has to be something they can do! This is all my fault if i had just stayed at home-" "-I would have gone straight to sleep and died in the fire, so hush."

After that i dried my tears and sat with him until my mother arrived. "I swear I'll be back next year." I told him, then hesitate for a second before i leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.
