Chapter Fifteen
I climb onto the horse next to Morgana's. "I hope your trip isn't too upsetting," Arthur says to her.
"Thank you Arthur," she replies.
"Make sure you return to Camelot before dusk," Arthur tells one of the other knights.
"Yes sire," he replies.
"Oh, and Trina," he calls to me. I turn around to face him. "Don't do anything stupid."
I smile at him. "Come on, who are we kidding? I never do anything stupid. I'd be more worried about you doing something stupid."
He rolls his eyes at me, and nods to the knight. We start moving, and I look over my shoulder at him as we go. He meets my eyes, and I can see concern in his eyes.
Merlin comes running down the stairs, holding a target and a crossbow, and I go back to facing the other way.

"You look troubled Kat," Morgana says to me as we ride through the forest.
I shake my head. "I'm fine."
I'm killing Uther a thousand times over in my head, but other than that I'm fine.
"You been very secretive recently, I'm begging to think there's a man involved."
I chuckle. "When do I get to meet any descent men?"
Oh but I have meant one.
The sound of people screaming comes from the sides of the road, and I look up to see men on horses riding down toward us. This trip just got a billion times better.
I draw my sword and pull off my cape, reveling my full out Spartan armor. Oh how I love this armor, it makes me looked riped. Then again, I don't need the armor's help to look ripped.
I roll my cape up in a ball, jump off my horse, and land on the ground, waiting for a challenger. A man wearing a black mask runs at me, and I side stop out of the way and hit him hard on the head with the hilt of my sword.
I whirl around, and meet another mans blade with my own. I push back on the sword hard, sending him back a few paces. I knee him in the stomach, and stab my sword through his body. He collapses to the ground and I pull my sword out of his body.
I hear Morgana and Gwen screaming, and I rush to their aid.
I jump on the man holding Morgana, cutting his side. He doubles over in pain, and I kick his head, sending him to the ground.
I move on the man holding Gwen, and he lets go of her, turning to me. I twirl my sword around in my hand, and parry his blow. He goes from the other side, and I meet his blade again, this time twirling my sword around his and flicking my wrist, sending it flying across the forest, hitting another of the raiders in the head. The man runs away from me, and Morgana grabs my arm.
"Gwen, Kat, head for that path!" She calls.We run up the side of the hill, and another man on a white horse approaches us. I quickly pull out my cape and use it to conceal my armor. They can't see it, let alone take it from me. I look at the tree closest to me, and go to it with my sword.
I carve into it, "Help," in Greek. If Arthur sees it, he'll understand.
The man hops off the horse and walks up to us.
I stand just behind Morgana, and swing my sword around, going into a defensive stance, waiting for him to strike.
"I warn you, I am Uther Pendragon's ward. He'll have your heads if any harm comes to me," Morgana tells them. I open my mouth to say who I am, but she puts her hand over my mouth.
