The female warrior (Braveheart x y/n)

Part 8

The next day had arrived and you all gathered by William with armor and face paint.

"The Bruce is not coming William" Hamish said and you didn't look but listened in.

"He'll come. He's in love with y/n, so he has to come." William said and you blushed looking down making the men chuckle but you told them all to screw off

"Mornay and lochlan have come. So will the Bruce" William said as longshanks stood on the other side with the Irish and the infiltration in front.

Longshanks made his move and sent forth the Irish, infantry, and horseman.

You all got your weapons and ran forth but you knew the plan.

Soon they came forth and you all stopped running coming forward. You all shook hands with the Irish, William waved the flag sending forth the fire arrows and burning the men on horseback and Infantry.

Soon after you all charged forward and fought with the remaining infantry. You fought with your sword and shield many men coming to you because you were a woman and wanted to have an easy target.

William waved the flag but the two men and army on horseback turned away and started riding off.

William stood confused and you looked to him and he started shocked.

Longshanks put up the flag for archers and the arrows for shot to your men but his too. Campbell got an axe to his stomach and you ran to protect him. More men from trees came in and William got an arrow to the heart.

You ran over and helped him up but he fought off and quickly got on a horse riding off to follow longshanks.

You saw and did the same so you could save him.

You told Steven and Hamish to keep ahead while you followed william

You didn't call out to him as you felt you would distract him but he was much farther than you.

You rode on and found William on the ground next to a guard. As you got closer you saw Robert as he was standing over William trying to get him to stand up.

"Get him out!" Robert said and you rode by taking William on horse back and looked to Robert

"Go!" He looked in your eyes and your eyes held betrayal and sadness but you rode on as the men chased you trying to get William.

The remaining men sat by the river and Hamish was trying hard to save his father. Steven helped William and you went around helping other men. You finished and sat by William and Steven watching Hamish and Campbell.

Campbell soon died and Hamish started breaking down crying.

You went to his side and stroked his hair and he laid his head to your stomach as you ran your fingers along his back trying to comfort him.

You took off the tip of cam bells kilt and covered his face so Hamish could see no more.

You left their side and went to the battle field to find any of your men wounded but there were none. Soon you looked in the distance and saw Robert the Bruce sink to his knees in heartbreak.

His eyes saw you and connected with your but your eyes help pain and betrayal.

You looked to the ground and shook your head walking away.

William was going after Mornay and lochlan for betraying him and his people.

William came back from his journey safe and sound

His travels have made him a legend of Scotland, the tales of William Wallace are all over the land.

The battles were heavy and each battle, the clan got closer and closer to get lonshanks.

A meeting was called by lonshanks himself. Guards were waiting at a tent. You, Hamish, William, Steven all walked forward to the tent and knew it was a trick.

When you all got close you pushed the two head guards in and barricaded the door. The clan came out and poured oil over the tent. You and William were handed torches and set the whole hut on fire. You all stood back and watched it burn hearing the screams stop.

William was called to a meeting with the princess alone. You all trusted him and waited for his return. A feast and drinks were held in celebration of a close victory.

Music was played and everyone was arm wrestling for a test of strength.

Hamish was winning each one and they all wanted you to do it.

You sat on the log and put your elbow on the stone. You put your other hand behind your back. You smirked at the red head and he smirked back as he took your hand.

The battle started and your hands shook at the force trying to make the other loose.

You turned your hand in his taking the advantage and started to win but Hamish was stronger.

He pushed himself forth and slammed your hand down making you loose and half of the clan cheered for victory while the rest groaned.

You shook hamish's hand happy if his victory.

Soon after the night everyone turned in but you stayed up and sat by the fire.

You heard movement behind you and looked to see Hamish standing there with his head down.

"Why are yer not asleep?" He asked

"Not tired" you said simply and he took a seat next to you

"Me either" he said and took a stick poking at the fire.

"How are you doing?" You asked him as he stayed quiet

"How did you cope with your family's death?" He asked back

"Not well, I don't want anyone to cope the way I copped. But he was a good man and he loved you. Don't dwell on this anger. Remember the good times. It took me a long time to get to that part." You said

"But the anger, feels needed, feels good." He said

"Cause it distracts you. But it's never needed. And it doesn't feel good after. If you stay angry your grief grows. And you are sitting in pain. You loose yourself along the way. Don't be like me." You told him and he nodded

"Thanks sis" he said and put and arm around you hugging you tightly

"You're pretty strong for a girl" he laughed

"You and I both know I'm no girl" you said back

"Yeah" he punched your shoulder knocking you over

"Not fair!" You punched back and he got knocked back a bit

"What it's not my fault I'm bigger." He said

"Not in a good way" you smirked and started to rough house with you and you both throwing insults at each other

Soon Steven came out and told you both to shut up and go to bed which you both did.
