Bound Through Time (Douxie x reader)

History in the Making

{Yn POV}

Douxie is holding me to his chest protectively as the knights surrounding us continue to point their swords at us.

His hand squeezes mine slightly.

My eyes keep shifting between fuzzy and clear as I try to focus on what's happening

"What manner of sorcery is this?" I hear the knight say

He pulls off his helmet to reveal Sir Lancelot, one of Arthur's top knights

I can hear Steve let out an awestruck "Woah" at the sight of Lancelot

Douxie starts to speak with the knight

"Sir Lancelot, um-"

"He's so handsome," I hear Steve say

"I- We-" Douxie struggles to explain our situation before the sword is thrust in his face once more

I can feel his grip on me tighten out of reflex

"Wait! Aren't you Merlin's errand boy? And her his maid?"

"Apprentices," Douxie and I say with annoyance

"He's like an angel man" Steve continues to admire the knight and leans on the stone Jim was in. The stone starts to break and Steve yells out in surprise

We all back away, Douxie helping me to stand up off the ground, as the stone shatters freeing Jim.

I lean on him as Jim sits up from the stone, the knights gasping in surprise at his appearance

"What? How did I-" Jim starts to say in confusion

Claire rushes to his side

"Jim! Are you okay?"

"Troll. Troll! To arms!" Lancelot shouts causing the knights to ready for attack

I push off of Douxie and rush over to block the Knights from Jim shouting a "No!"

Douxie runs to my side and tries to reason with the knight

"Wait! Chill out, lads!"

"Chill? Out?" Lancelot repeats, confused

"Take a breath, all right? He's one of the good ones."

"There are no good ones," Lancelot pushes Douxie to the ground

I kneel at his side to check on him then turn back to Lancelot

"Monsters are forbidden in Arthur's lands. You'll hang before the king for your insolence."

My blood runs cold at this. Both out of fear, and anger.

"Woah he even talks like an angel. Wait, what's an insolence?" Steve says before he is pushed forward by one of the knights.

We are all forced to our feet. Steve and Claire are forced to bind their hands.

Jim is put into a covered cage to keep him contained and out of the sun.

Given that Douxie and I were with Merlin we were allowed to walk freely without being tied.

We are forced forwards as we walk towards the castle

Steve shouts at the knights to let him go and give him his rights to a phone call.

"There are no phone calls here Steve. We don't have the same rights in this time period."

Steve scoffs

"This place was cooler flying."

I slightly nod my head in silent agreement.
