Wow! I wasn't expecting followers already!
So here's chapter 2!
Enjoy
Camelot…Whoa…
-Are you all right? He asked
-Yeah…I'm just processing what you just said.
She smiled. Evelyn couldn't believe what Gawain just told her. The accident made travel through time…that was impossible or was it?
-What do you do in Camelot? She asked
Better change the subject
-I'm a Knight
A knight…great
- It's kind of like being a soldier, I suppose
-Yes, but better. Forgive me for asking, but how to you know so much about medicine? It's not often that a woman becomes a physician, most of the time they're accused of witchcraft.
Evelyn laughed
-Witchcraft doesn't exist, said Evelyn bluntly
-Here it does, yes.
Evelyn looked at him and frowned.
-You're not from around here are you?
Oh No
-No
-Then from where?
-I'm not sure if you would believe me, to be franc
-Tell me
-Would you believe me if I told you I come from another country, another time? Asked Evelyn
-I'm not sure I understand…
-I'm from the 2000th millennium. For me, Camelot and King Arthur are in history books…hell it's more of a legend anyway.
Gawain didn't answer at first
-Well anything possible right. Like I said, around here, magic and sorcery whether we want it or not rules our lives. But don't worry you're secret's safe with me.
He winked at Evelyn. She didn't respond
-I guess that's why you know so much about medicine? He asked
Well look at that, he believes me
-I was trained as a doctor when I was in the army.
-You were in the army?
-Yeah, it's a common choice where I come from. I spent 6 years in a field hospital.
-That's long.
-Yes it is.
And they just kept talking like that for a while, until Evelyn fell asleep.
Gawain's POV
The Girl, Evelyn, had finally got to sleep. And she actually looked very peaceful giving the circumstances.
Gawain suddenly heard commotion outside…like they were under attack or something.
Getting up on the bench, he could see through a small window. Men were running around.
Oh yes, something definatly's going on
He looked at Evelyn…
What he should do? Should he wake her?
The least he could do was to take her with him after what she did to fix his shoulder. And she was kind of lost and alone…Maybe she could stay in Camelot.
Sir Gawain wasn't going to leave a damsel in distress no was he?
But could she even be considered in distress? And Gawain had to admit that he was curious about her and where she came from.
He decided to wake her up anyway.
He walked to where she was, lightly touched her shoulder
She woke up in a jolt
-Come, we're getting out.
-What?
- I think I found a way out. They seem to be under attack…it could be some of my fellow knights
Evelyn got up.
Gawain lured a guard near the door, knocked him out and grabbed the keys. Next thing they knew they were out.
Once they got outside, they decided to make a run for the nearest wood patch.
To Evelyn, it wasn't very scary. After 6 years in Irak and of aerial raids, sword fights were pretty easy…They were just messier.
Has they made it to the woods, Sir Gawain tripped, fell and rolled down the hill.
Evelyn had to force herself not to laugh.
-Are you alright? She asked
-I'm fine
But has he got and tried to walk, Evelyn could see that he wasn't
Poor guy…she thought
Evelyn ran towards him
-Looks like you've sprained your ankle
-What if it's broken?
-It's not broken. Can you walk on it?
-Yes.
Gawain took a small step…more like a leap than step
-but it hurts
-It's normal. Once you get back to Camelot stay off it for a week and you'll be fine.
-Come
She took his arm and placed it around her shoulder to support the weight. They continued walking…Slowly but surely.
They walked for maybe an hour, maybe more when Evelyn decided to stop and let Gawain rest.
-Let me see your ankle.
His ankle was swollen but nothing more. Applying pressure near the main bones she asked:
-Does this hurt?
He gestured no
-And this?
-Neither
-That's good. It's going to heal faster. She said with a smile
Suddenly heard noises and the ground started to tremble a little. Someone was coming.
Evelyn helped Gawain get up and then they were surrounded by knights in red capes.
Gawain was happy.
One of the knights got off his horse. He walked towards them and he and Gawain hugged. Evelyn didn't really understand but she assumed he was a friend.
-It's good to see you Leon, said Gawain
-Good to see you. We thought you were dead, but you know Arthur, he never rests until we're sure.
Gawain laughed
-Leon this is Lady Evelyn, she saved my life. We were heading back for Camelot but I hurt my ankle. She has knowledge of medicine.
-Milady, on behalf off all the knights of Camelot, Thank you.
-You're welcome. I was just doing my duty…Sir.
Gawain presented her to three other fellow knights, Sir Percival, Sir Mordred and Sir Phillip. They were all very nice but most of all glad that their friend was all right.
Then another knight brought up a horse. Leon helped Gawain on it.
Gawain turned to Evelyn, extending his hand
-My lady, he said a smile
-Oh I can walk…
-Nonsense come on. I insist. He said
Evelyn took his hand and he pulled her on the horse behind him. Out of reflex, she grabbed his waist to hold on to.
Gawain kicked his horse and they followed the others knights back to Camelot.
