Freedom. Chapter 10: Murron.
(Note: Murron won't be appearing in the fanfic as much as she does in "Braveheart," but she will mentioned and she'll only be in "Freedom" a little bit. Hence why I said in the prologue that one of the main William pairings would be William X Murron. Anyway, hope you guys enjoy Chapter 10! :D)

After their attack on York, sometime later, in March of 1298, Team Kakashi, William and his men spent the night in a fortress.
William was tossing and turning in his sleep, which began to bother Naruto and Sakura.
"Murron...," William mumbled Murron's name in his sleep.
"I wonder if he's having a nightmare...," Sakura voiced, concerned.
"I wonder too. However, there's this one thing that gets me though...," Naruto said.
"What's that, Naruto?" Sakura asked.
"Who's this "Murron" that William keeps talking about in his sleep?" Naruto wondered.
"I don't know. I just hope William will be okay by tomorrow. Well, good night, Naruto," Sakura replied.
"Good night, Sakura," Naruto answered back and fell asleep.
In William's dream...
William was sleeping in the woods right near the campfire. As he was sleeping peacefully, he got startled by the sound of a twig snapping.
He awoke, and saw a hooded figure wandering around through the trees. At that moment, William took out his sword, and followed the person.
A few seconds later, the person stopped walking, and removed their hood. The person turned out to be a woman with long brown hair and brown eyes. She began to walk towards William from out of the mist.
Then, as soon William saw this woman, he kneeled down on the ground, eyes widening with shock as he began to realize who it was.
She was a woman that William knew since childhood, and one who he fell in love with and married. However, her life was taken by the English, which left William in deep remorse for not saving her.
Her name... was Murron MacClannough.
Finally, after a moment of silence, William told her:
"I'm dreaming."
"Yes you are," Murron replied. "And you must wake."
William looked around the woods and thought of Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi. Then, he gazed back at Murron with pleading eyes, as if he was about to cry, not wanting the moment to last, and wishing that this dream was for real.
"I don't want to wake. I want to stay here with you."
"And I with you," Murron comforted William. "But you must wake now. Wake up, William. Wake up."
Although William didn't want Murron to leave him again, he had no choice but to wake up.
End of William's dream...
Naruto woke up, and saw that William was still sleeping.
"Naruto! Wake up William!" Campbell (who was with Kakashi and Sakura) called Naruto.
Naruto shook William's left shoulder.
"Psst. William. Wake up," Naruto whispered.
"No. Don't leave me, Murron. Not again. I love you...," William murmured in his sleep again.
Naruto glared and shouted in William's ear:
"WAKE UP, WILLIAM! RIGHT NOW!"
"Gah!" William exclaimed and punched Naruto's head.
"Ow! What was that for?!"
"For waking me up, you idiot!" William screamed.
"Well, I wasn't the one who wanted to wake you up," Naruto explained as he motioned his head to where Campbell was on top of the battlement on York's fortress.
"William, a royal entourage comes, flying banners of truce, with the standards of Longshanks himself!" Campbell hollered.
William quickly got to his feet, and walked out of the fortress with Naruto to go see what all the fuss was about.
(Note: Again, sorry for the short chapter, but the next chapter will be longer. Well, hope you enjoyed Chapter 10, and please read and review! :D)
