There was a crisp breeze that was sure to turn the night chilly. Sophie stacked several baskets with her harvest. Her mind was elsewhere. All the things she had caught Mercedes doing with Mordred were constantly on her mind. She felt angry and was boiling over with rage. Dropping the basket in her hand, she headed straight for Mercedes' house. The sweet sound of laughter filled the air as she drew closer. It was coming from behind the house. Even more, rage erupted within her when she saw Mercedes laughing with Mordred. Sophia marched toward Mercedes. Mercedes turned with a bright smile.
"Oh, my Sophie! I was actually about to go find you and see if you wanted to eat dinner with us."
"Don't you dare 'my Sophie' me right now!"
Mercedes stood shocked as she was shoved backward. Mordred stepped back slightly.
"What in the world was that for?"
Sophia huffed and laughed slightly before she became angry again. She pointed between Mercedes and Mordred.
"What did you two do?!"
They both stared at her confused. Mercedes stumbled on her words.
"Sophia I- What? What are you talking about?"
Sophia bared her teeth.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about! You two must have done something with all the secret meetings you two have! I've seen you multiple times!"
Mercedes gasped completely disgusted. Mordred's eye grew wide.
"So you've been following me?! Sophia, what is wrong with you?!"
She shoved Mercedes again and she landed on the ground.
"What's wrong with me?! Really?! You're the one who has been going behind my back with your best friend! You're keeping things from me!"
Mordred stepped slightly forward. Gaius and Merlin had both come out of the house. Merlin looked at them all confused.
"What's going on?"
Mercedes stood up annoyed.
"Sophia, you can't just follow someone around! No matter who they are!"
Sophia shook her head.
"You shouldn't be keeping things from your girlfriend! Of course, it's with Mordred too!"
Mordred stood completely shocked. Mercedes was becoming more frustrated.
"Mordred and I don't have some secret plot against you! There are just things that you don't understand!"
Sophia picked up a hand full of leaves and threw them at Mercedes.
"Oh really?! I wouldn't understand?! I understand very clearly that you don't trust me to know everything!"
Mercedes shook her head as the leaves hit the ground.
"Sophia that's not it at all!"
Mordred stepped forward.
"Sophia... I promise it isn't what you think..."
Sophia quickly got inches from Mordred's face.
"You stay out of this!"
Mercedes bared her teeth and pushed Sophia backward.
"Don't you dare get in his face!"
Sophia laughed and continued shouting.
"Oh, of course! Defend him! I feel like I'm just being dragged around! Like I'm not enough to be trusted or respected! No common courtesy!"
Mercedes threw her hands about in the air.
