Twin Brothers

4

I was on my way to Arthur's chambers when I saw him walking towards me with two other knights. I was surprised to see him up already. I couldn't have been that late, could I?

"Arthur?" I questioned as he stopped in front of me.

He turned away before saying, "Arrest him." The guards grabbed my arms as they followed Arthur. I must have been really late.

"What did I do?" I asked very confused. We walked to the throne room where King Uther sat on his throne and some knights were there. Arthur joined his father at he throne. I was thrown to the floor as Uther stood up.

"I was given information about what you've been doing lately." He stated. I looked around confused until my eyes rested on Sir Kay and Sir Breunor. I heart began to race. I felt my blood flee from my face. I felt small and completely useless. There was nothing I could say against the words of knights, no matter what lie they told. I looked back to find Arthur looking at me, then at the knights confused. I looked down.

"Sire, I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about." I muttered truthfully.

"Do you deny sneaking off into the forest over a week ago?" He shouted making me look up confused. How did they find out it was me?

"No, but-"

"And throwing a sword across the armory the day after?"

"No, Sire-"

"Were you or were you not planning to kill my son?" I looked at him completely confused. Then, I looked at Arthur.

"I would never." He looked away from me.

"A coupled of knights claim that the throw was intended for Arthur."

"I would not betray you, my lord." I stated.

"Why did you throw the sword then?"

"I was a little stressed. I was alone and angry. The throw was for no ones eyes, but my own. I apologize." I looked at the floor ashamed of my actions.

"And the forest? You were talking about attacking Camelot." He stated.

"Yes, but I would never. My-" I began to say, but stopped myself. I've never told anyone about my brother.

"Your what? Speak up!"

I sighed, "My brother wants to attack Camelot. I tried to reason with him to not attack, but he doesn't listen to me."

"You never said anything about a brother of yours." Arthur stated.

"No one asked," I looked up at him. "Besides, I didn't exactly want to tell anyone about him because he did something terrible many years ago. I've never been able to forgive him." I explained.

"How do we know what you're saying is the truth?" Uther asked.

"I don't know. You may just have to take my word for it." I stated.

"Very well. As for now, you will stay in the dungeons." The guards pulled me up.

"What?" I muttered.

"Father-" Arthur began to say.

"Silence!" The king shouted at Arthur. The knights pulled me around. I caught the eyes of Sir Kay and Sir Breunor. They smirked at me as they watched me walk off. I looked down afraid of what's to happen next.

As we walked down the halls, all eyes were on us. Some servants whispered to each other while others just stared. Soon enough, I found Gwen's eyes. She looked confused as she watched me being carried away by the knights. She didn't say a word. She just watched until we turned the corner.

This wasn't like other times. There was no way I was going to get out of this one. Gaius won't be able to bail me out. I won't be going in the stocks. I'm going to stay in the dungeon until my sentence is announced. What's going to happen now? The battle is only a couple days away. I'm terrified. The only thought that happened to cross my mind beside the fact of a war about to happen was how did they find out about the forest? Neither Sir Kay or Sir Breunor were on night patrol. I'm pretty sure the knight in the forest who caught us talking didn't even know who I was. The only conclusion I could make was that the two knights were traitors and working with Marcus. That would mean that Marcus knew of the beatings; in fact, he was probably encouraging them. That ass! He thought I would switch teams just because a couple of Camelot knights beat me? He thought wrong. I will fight him always. In the end, there will only be one twin standing. I promise that I would protect Arthur and Camelot until the very end. The very end.
