Love at First Fight

The poisoned chalice part 1

Willow’s POV
 Arthur had sent me off to help prepare for the Lord of Merciar. Morgana did the same with Gwen. We were mainly doing their clothes. “Are you and Arthur on good terms now?” I smiled at the question. “Yes Gwen. We are on much better terms now.” In recent events Arthur and I had a big argument. Well we had about three of them. In the last argument I could have died but Arthur saved me even though I said some messed up things. I haven’t talked to Arthur about what he had said before I fell asleep. I smile everytime I think about it. “You seem really happy Willow.” I blushed and stuttered a tiny bit. “I’m just happy is all.” Right at that moment Arthur walked in looking for me. “Willow I need my robes.” I rolled my eyes and grabbed his robes. “Sometimes Arthur, I wonder if you would survive without me.” He took his clothes and chuckled. “Thank you. I would be just fine without you.” I put my hand on my heart in a hurt manner. “Wounded sire, wounded.” With that he turned to leave. “Oh! Gwen, Morgana wishes to see you.” She nodded and left. “You can go get ready Willow.” I walked out with him. “I am no noble. I don’t need to get ready.” He told me to at least look nice for the ceremony. I just rolled my eyes and went to go see Gaius.
  “Hello Gaius!” He dropped he book he was holding. “Oh I’m sorry Gaius!” I walked over and picked up the book. “It’s fine dear. What do you need may I ask?” I just smiled at what he said. “I have not seen you in a while and I wanted to see how you are doing.”  He took the book from my hand and hugged me. “I’m doing fine dear. Thank you for checking in on me.”
 Time had passed when Merlin came looking for me. “We need you in the thingy.” I laughed at how he said it. “Ok Merl let’s go help out the others.”   
 Everyone stood around as they signed the treaty. I took that time to look at how everyone was dressed but I stopped at Merlin. It took all my willpower to not laugh. I then looked at Arthur and he was looking at me with a smile on his face knowing that I was silently laughing. They shook hands and the Lord of Merciar started speaking about how they united finally. He reached in when Merlin turned to tell me that someone said that the lord poisoned Arthur’s chalice. The lord handed Arthur his chalice and they raised their chalice’s when I screamed not to drink it that it was poisoned. I snatched it from Arthur’s hand. “Willow what are you doing?” I smiled nervously. “Bayard poisoned his goblet.” They took their swords out and pointed them at me. “This is an outrage!” Uthur ordered them to put down their swords. They exchanged a few words. “If you are telling the truth you have nothing to fear.” He took the chalice from my hand and went to hand it to him. Bayard went to take it but uther said no that he wants to kill him his self and handed it back to me. Arthur had a worried look on his face. “She’ll drink it.” Arthur stepped in. “If she drinks it she could die!” “Than we know she was telling the truth and if not he can kill her.” I took the chalice out of the kings hand. “Willow apologize. This is a mistake, I’ll drink it.” He went to take the cup out my hand but I smacked his away. “It’s alright. I’ll drink it.” I looked Bayard in the eyes as I took a big drink. At first nothing happened. “It’s fine.” Uther told him that I was his. He reached for his sword and i started to breath oddly and I dropped. I heard talking but couldn’t tell who it was.
Arthur’s POV
 I rushed to Willow and tried to wake her up. “Bring her to my chambers.” I quickly picked her up and rushed her to Gaius’ chambers. “Lay her on the bed quickly she’s struggling to breath. Gwen fetch me some water.” I followed his instructions and sat her on the bed while Gwen ran to get water. “Is she going to be alright?” I sat there and stared at her for a few minutes. I got up and started walking around. Gaius picked up a heavy book and found the poison.Gaius explained what would be needed and where I would find it. I ran off to talk to my father about getting the plant. I started talking to my father and it later turned into an argument. I left and went to go get the plant even if when I return I’m thrown into the dungeons. I disobeyed my father. Something I won’t regret doing for this one reason. I will willingly be thrown in the dungeons for her. I can’t lose her, it would destroy me. I reached to forest and a beast attacks me. I fended it off when I heard crying. “Ma’am are you okay.” She went into a story when I brought up the fact that I was looking for a flower. She said she knew where they were. She lead me directly to them. She says somethings and the floor started to crumble so i jumped to the other side to get the flower. I started climbing to the flower when these spider things made their way up to me. I had to fight them off. It wasn't going so well so I kicked them off quickly grabbed the whole flower. Root and all and followed this glowing orb all the way up. ‘I need to get this to Gaius. She needs to live.’ With that I headed back to the castle.
Gaius’ POV
 She started muttering a spell when Gwen left to get me more water. “Arthur. Follow the orb Arthur.” ‘Oh she’s helping him even when she’s dying.’ I started dabbing the sweat off her forehead and hoping that Arthur shows up soon. She can’t die, she’s too important to lose again.

Oooooooo~ Arthur gonna confess soon? Or will he deny his feelings the world may never know
