Chapter 24 -   Lost Sunshine

Later that evening Rosa was up in her chambers, Isis in her arms. She had just dismissed Lila, who had been given the job as Isis’s Nursemaid and Rosa got on well with her. Rosa rocked Isis in her arms as she paced around the room, singing to her. “Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird

And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring

And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass

And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat

And if that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and bull

And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover

And if that dog named Rover won't bark
Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart

And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.” She sang and Isis smiled up at her. Rosa kissed her forehead, gently lowering her into her cradle. She leaned back in her chair, her hand holding Isis’s. She began to sing another song as the two of them began to slip into sleep. “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.” She sang as her eyes closed and she drifted into sleep.

Down in the armoury Gwaine was lying back on a bench, as if it where his bed. “Bored!” He said staring up at the celling. “Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored!” He moaned and Percival threw a cloak over Gwaine’s head in an attempt to shut him up. Gwaine merely pulled it down off his face and turned his head to look at Percival. “Rude.” He said before turning back to the ceiling.
“If you are that bored Gwaine I can get you a job helping Gaius go through all those books old books.” Merlin said and Gwaine sat up quickly.
“Bored? Who’s bored? Not me, only boring people get bored.” Gwaine said and Merlin grinned. “Good.” Suddenly there was a shout that Merlin swore shook the room. “MERLIN!” It yelled and Merlin sighed, putting down the armour he was polishing. “Have fun.” Gwaine said grinning. Suddenly there was another shout, but this time a woman’s voice. “LEON!” It screamed. Leon looked confused. He stood up, wincing a little as he tried to get one of his legs to wake up. “Welcome to my world.” Merlin said. “Does that mean you and Arthur are married?” Gwaine asked like a child making Percival and Elyan laugh and Merlin blush a little. “Shut up Gwaine!” He said before hurriedly leaving the room. “LEON!” The scream came again.
“Go on; don’t want to keep the lady waiting.” Percival said and Leon sighed before going to see what his wife wanted.

As Leon walked towards the door he knew something was desperately wrong. He could hear choked cries from inside the room and the sound of someone searching for something. “LEON!” Her scream almost deafened him. He burst into the room to see Rosa, her face red and tear stained, her body shaking with sobs as she searched the room. “Rosa sweetheart.” Leon said hurrying to wrap his arms around his wife. She collapsed onto him, making a sound that tore at his heart. “Rosa what’s happened?” He asked, failing to hide the fear in his voice.
“She’s-She’s go-gone.” Rosa stuttered between sobs. “I-i-Isis, She’s gone.”
