The trees whip by me as I run.
"Traiter!"
Faster. Rain starts to fall as I weave through the forest, the sounds of leaves crunching close behind.
"Lies!"
A sob forces its way out of my throat, my side burns and I almost trip but I catch myself and keep running.
"I trusted you!"
A river, too wide to cross. I skid to a stop, the rain pounding on my flesh, soaking me. The sounds of pursuit slow and I hear them surround me.
Faces, laughing and teasing. Smiles fade. Shock, anger, betrayal rage.
"Turn around." The river rushes, cold and broken. "Face me!"
""Please."
I slowly turn, trying to school my features. Never show weakness, never let them see you cry.
The sound of a sword sends terror shooting down my spine, paralyzing me. The Camelot crest now looking sharp and menacing.
Their faces, anger and disbelief written on every line. My friends.
The sword comes down and a shout echoes in my head.
"There's nowhere for you to run sorcerer." Arthur, no the King's, face twisted in quiet rage.
"Run Emrys!"
The rain beats down harder, the wind howls. Then nothing.
"Sorcerer!"
