Your face ached with the smile that had been glued to your lips for the past 3 hours, you're day was awful so what better way to cheer you up than a good ol' Merlin marathon. The more you watched it the more you admired the characters, their bonds to each other, their determination and their kindness. A tired, sad smile etched itself onto your face.
I'd give anything to meet them, to have a conversation with them, hell I'd even settle for a passing smile.

Shuffling over to your window you leaned against the wall staring at the stars that illuminated the sky.
They're awfully bright tonight. You observed, sighing loudly before continuing to daydream about the enchanting land of Camelot and her people.
"Goodnight Merlin, goodnight Arthur" you muttered dejectedly standing up straight gazing longing at the stars, mind lost in dreams of golden eyes and a goofy smile "I wish I could live in you're world" you head turned away as you slouched back to your bed. Falling asleep almost instantly you missed the whispered confession floating into the darkness, latching on to a passing star.

A cold breeze brushed your face causing a shiver to go through you. Scrunching up your face as you slowly come back to the land of the living you stretch out your sore muscles.
Did I leave my window open?
You ask yourself. You reaching to tug your blanket closer to you only to be met with grass.
What... is.... happening? I don't remember ever having grass on my bed.
Forcing your tired eyes open the bright afternoon sun gleams through the trees causing tears to form in your eyes.
Wait a minute? The sun through the trees? What the frick? Where the hell am I?
Your chest constricts as you scramble to get off of the hard ground you were led upon. Frantically looking around for anything recognisable you realise you have no idea where you are or how you came to be in this stage place. As you gaze down at yourself you breathe a deep sigh of relief, catching your breath as you focus on the clothes your wearing. Your long sleeve baggy white shirt was stained and smudged with a random assortment of greens and browns from the forest floor beneath you and your brown leggings were a little worse for wear with a single rip on the bottom right side but at least you're decent.
I'm still in my pyjamas, a little roughed up but still normal I must just be sleeping there is no way I can go to sleep in my bed and wake up in a forest so I just need to take a deep breath, clam down and wake myself up. How hard can it be? I can hear a stream so I'll just go there I mean cold water will definitely wake me up right?

Formulating a plan in your mind you're breathing evens out and you smile to yourself knowing you'll be back in your bed soon enough.
Brushing yourself off you begin to head towards the sound of the running water secretly enjoying the beauty of the forest you were currently in not knowing the danger that it held.
Before you even registered what was happening you felt a pain in your check as an arrow whizzed past your face barely missing you before embedding itself into the tree behind you. Frantically looking around you see two people emerge from the bushes, both are wearing what looks like tunics and leather, a tall man with a hideous snarl was carrying a bow, arrow notched as if he was preparing to shoot at you again whilst a shorter, evil looking woman was wielding a small dagger, a cruel smirk plastered on her face. You instantly felt a scream beginning to form in your throat as you observed them.
They look like the bandits from... no that's not possible, I am not in Camelot. This is not happening. Why didn't I wake up. They cut my cheek. I should have woke up.
As realisation dawned on you, you shoved the scream back down your throat before it could be released knowing full well it would not help in this situation.
The bandits stop 100 yards from you both still wielding their weapons in a threatening manner. Waving her knife in your direction, the female bandit took a step closer to you smirking the whole time,
"Are you going to come quietly or are you going to make this difficult for us?"
Panic almost took control of you as you realised what she was implying. Once again you silenced the voice in your head telling you to start screaming.
Facing both of the bandits your natural fight or flight instincts kicked in, bracing your feet and lifting you arms slightly flight won out and you turned and fled shouting over your shoulder to the surprised bandits.
"Ha yea right!"
