My White Knight

Chapter 5

The jouster lifted his helmet to reveal himself and Gwen felt like she couldnt breathe not anymore.

He was dead. Lancelot was dead.

But he wasn’t. He was right there, in the ring, looking up at Guinevere, his expression unreadable

Something wasn't right she could tell.

What did you do? What did you do to him?” Gwen shouted

To take Lancelot. Her Lancelot. Her Lancelot., who was always so loving, kind and patient. His eyes had been warm, his smiles often small but so sincere and his presence always reassuring. Morgause had taken it all away and turned Lancelot into something so empty and uncaring.

What have you done to him! Gwen accused Morgause.

She was pleading with Lancelot, "you know me,” tears soaked Gwen's face "You know me, Lancelot, please!” Gwen cried but before Lancelot could say anything he slumped to the floor and Merlin rounded the corner grabbing Gwen's hand {despite his appearance Merlin was actually fairly strong as he threw Lancelot over his shoulder} Merlin! Gwen cried {happy to see a friendly and familiar face} and in seconds with Merlin’s hand in her own they ran back to Camelot bursting into Gwaines quarters laying Lancelot on the bed. That's not Lancelot that's a shade I need to do something Gwen I want my friend back I know My sisters, Gwaine, and Percy…. will want him back too Merlin gasped as he tried to breathe. If you say Lancelot is this shade what are you going to do? Gwen asked

I don't know Gwen, but this is still Lancelot Merlin replied, pacing the four corners of the room but I have a job for you {Gwen I need you to make sure neither Prince Andrew or Prince  Arthur comes up here} Gwen looked at Merlin before saying what about your sister? And the knights of the roundtable? Merlin smirked in reply she’s with Gwaine, something is going on between them I can tell. Back in Vernum she always would try to flirt with the castle guards Sirs Gwaine Lancelot and Percival. I bet she’s down there flirting with Sirs Gwaine and Percival as we speak.

Your sister a flirt ? I never would have guessed Gwen gasped in mock shock and for the first time since Lancelot stepped through the veil Gwen and  Merlin laughed they both are Merlin muttered before he started pacing the four corners of the room again as Gwen slipped outside.

Merlin’s pacing stopped as he turned back to Lancelot who was beginning to stir

He needed to do this quick before he woke up or he'd have to knock him out again. He put his hands on Lancelot's head mumbling a spell.

Prince Andrew looked at Gwen for a long time where's Merlin? Prince Andrew demanded Gwen sighed at the tavern with Gwaine Percival and Merlin's flirtatious sisters Gwen responded

He's never going to be the same again is he Gwen? not after.... His voice trailed off. Prince Andrew asked before his eyebrows raised Merlin's sister is a flirt ?

Gwen sighed again only time will tell sire I'm going to check on him see if he's alright and with that Prince Andrew made his way to the tavern.

Gwen pushed the door open to find the window wide open and a rope formed by sheets dangling out the open window.

She looked out the open window to see Merlin bolting to the tavern before she turned to Lancelot who was now lying in an uncomfortable position  she heard a groan of pain.

Merlin had most likely put him back on the bed when he had removed Gwaine's sheets from the bed as he had most likely fallen off the bed. By the time Merlin reached the tavern he was slightly out of breath he had found his sisters as expected flirting with Gwaine and Percy.

Merlin groaned before going to sit beside Percival. It wasn't like the two knights noticed him. Merlin Prince Andrew said Gwen told me you were here he added patting Merlin on the back

While Morrigan Evina and Elvina turned  to Prince Andrew I'm.... Were a little busy here sire Morrigan Evina and Elvina said turning back to face both Sirs Percival and Gwaine. I can tell that Prince Andrew laughed

It was growing dark and Gwaine, Percival, Merlin, Morrigan Elvina, Evina and Prince Andrew were beginning to grow tired so with Percival on one side and Gwaine on the other they both linked arms with Evina guiding her towards the castle Gwaine  caught Evina as she slumped to sleep laughing Gwaine scooped her into his arms carrying her bridal style up the stairs and into his chambers Evina's head leaning against Gwaine’s chest while Prince Andrew was like Gwaine, carrying Elvina bridal style

And what Gwaine saw as Percival pushed open the door was enough to make him nearly drop the sleeping girl luckily Percival had taken her into his own arms before Gwaine could drop the Girl for staring at him with wide tear filled brown eyes was Lancelot du Lac.

Can I see her Lancelot asked instead of an answer Gwaine ran into Lancelot’s arms crying nearly knocking him off the bed Lancelot only laughed

Don't ever do that again Gwaine said as the tears continued to fall Gwaine couldn't bring himself to care if his actions at the moment  with princesses Evina and Elvina asleep were undignified for a noble and knight.

Gwaine couldn't bring himself to care if his actions angered the prince but it didn't.

He pulled away from Lancelot  clearing his throat before speaking that was very undignified Gwaine said blinking back tears Lancelot only laughed before pulling him in for another hug.

Arthur insisted on going on another hunting trip what could go wrong? The answer to that was everything, everything went wrong.
