Charmed Again (Part 2/3)

Chapter 14

I read each page twice, to make sure I hadn't missed anything. But nothing completely terrible happened in the book. It was just the same story that nearly everyone on this planet has heard of. King and Queen fall in love, Queen falls for another guy thus breaking the others heart and therefore breaking Camelot itself. Then Mordred comes along, betrays Arthur and fights Him and then dies in the battle.

No other Queens or armies got involved in the story so I had no clue why Rowan was calling me his Queen.

I shut the book and flung it on my bed. I dropped my head back and fell on my bed. I layed there, with my eyes closed, muddling over this stupid situation.

In the end I calmed my train of thought and then slowly became unconscious, falling into a deep sleep.

************************************************

I opened my eyes and stared and the barren wasteland. The ground was covered in ash, stone and bones. Armour from knights was scattered around the place and boulders lined the border.

I walked slowly, trying to step on anything or anybody. My dress flowed as I put one foot in front of the other. The dark blue velvet blended in with the dull, grey scenery.

Thick smoke and ash wisped around the air, hiding the rest of the wasteland from my eyes. The more I walked, the more I saw.

Food stalls, homes and hay were all over the place, like an explosion had gone off. I heard the desperate cries of black crows and the flew in circles above my head.

Then a figure emerged from the grey smoke. It was a man and he was small. But he seemed bigger than me. As his face appeared through the smoke, a sigh of relief escaped from my mouth. I ran towards him.

"What has happened here Rowan?" I asked him, looking around at the battlefield.

"This is what has happened to Camelot. This is what you did my Queen. As from now, there is no Camelot." Rowan replied with his head bowed.

Tears began to fall from eyes. I let out littles weeps, as the scene that I had just walked through, was entirely my fault.

"Where is everyone?" I asked trough tears.

"Dead my Queen. Everything is gone." Rowan spoke softly.

I searched through the smoke to see if there was any sign of life in this wasteland that is Camelot. Nothing moved. Nothing called out.

It was just silent.

***********************************************

My eyes snapped open and I jerked myself up. I was breathing pretty heavy and my heart was racing.

What the hell was that?

I wiped the line of sweat that had formed on my forehead. I came back to realisation and blinked a few times to make sure I wasn't dreaming again.

After what just happened I decided to go downstairs and tell everyone what had happened.

************************************************

I jogged down the stairs and jumped the last few steps. I looked around for Wyatt and Chris but I couldn't see them. I headed to the living room to see if they were in there.

Luckily Chris was sitting on the sofa. He was better than nobody I suppose.

"Where the hell is everyone?" I asked him gesturing to the silent house.

And living with the Charmed Ones, it was nerve quiet.

"Melinda and the others have headed to their school dance and Wyatt took that sleezy nerd to magic school to see if he could shed some light on Mordred." He replied keeping his eyes on the TV.
