Love at First Fight

My family! part 2

Willow's POV

The castle was now bustling with people. Servants cleaning or cooking, the knights doing what they need to be doing and me. I'm with Lance getting him ready to fight Arthur. "Lance can I tell you something that I found out yesterday?" "Does it involve the fight?" I shook my head in a way of saying 'yes but no.' "Kind of. While looking for not only a coat of arms but my family I found something very interesting." He stopped me from helping him any farther. "What did you find out?" I took a deep breath in and shakely spoke. "I believe that you are my older brother. I won't be fully sure until King Alac confirms me as his."

Lance stopped what he was doing and whipped around to look at me. "Why didn't you tell me when you found out!?" I backed up and looked down at my feet. "I didn't want to tell you incase you really weren't my brother." Just then the door burst open. "Willow! King Alac has arrived and wishes to see you." I looked up at Garret and followed him out the door but not before grabbing Lance's hand.

"Yes I was devastated when she did all of that. If only I could have stopped her." I opened the throne room doors and bowed a little. "Hello King Uther. Hello KIng Alac you wished to see me?" The man that look similar to Lance stood up and walked over to me and inspected me. He smiled and pulled me into a hug. "My baby girl. Oh how I've missed you." I hugged him back and whispered dad. "If only we still had your brother. We could live happily." I pulled back and grinned up at him. "May you wait right here? I need to go grab something!" He said yes and I ran off to get Lance.

"Lance! Lance!?" I ran to the training grounds grabbed a sword and blocked both of their swords. "Lance you need to come with me!! Arthur you as well!" I threw the sword down and grabbed both mens hands and ran back to the throne room. "Father I would like you to meet Lancelot. Your oldest child." Father looked at him and smiled. "My little Lance. Oh how you look like me. Just like Willow looks like her mother." Alac turned to Uther and bowed. "Thank you Uther you have found both of my children." Uther spoke with my father and I left and changed into my armor.

"Willow we need your help in the courtyard." They didn't tell me why but I grabbed my sword and ran after them. "Willow get back in the castle!" I looked at Lance. "You may be my older brother Lance but I am one of the most known 'knights' Camelot has." Lance threw me a warning look and charged at the beast. "Lance no!" I ran after him and pushed him out of the way before he could be harmed. This leading to me taking the blow and getting hurt. "Really Lance!? You just had to run in and be the hero? Do you even know how to kill this?" Lance helped me me up and pulled me to the castle doors. "Willow are you okay?" I pushed him behind me, muttered a spell of healing and ran back down and started to swing the sword at the thing. "Willow what are you doing?" I ignored my father and kept doing what I did best, magic but without anyone knowing.

I've wounded the beast enough where someone else could kill it if they used my sword. "Willow?!" I turned and ran to Arthur. I took his sword gave him mine and told him he needed to be the hero. He was quite confused but did what I told him to do. I took this time to sit on the stairs and breath. Yes I had other knights helping me but they barely made a scratch when I enchanted their weapons. I felt hands on my face and looked at who it was. "Oh my Willow are you hurt? Bleeding? Do we need to get Gaius?" I laughed at how frantic Lance was being. "I'm fine my dear brother. It's you I should be worried about. Running off into danger without a care." In the midst of this we heard the kingdom cheering and my frantic family. "Willow don't do that again!" Lance was pushed out of the way and I was pulled into my father's chest. "I won't father. I'm sorry I scared you." I really love having my family but it's only been a day and both are babying me. "Arthur you did great my son." I could hear Uther congratulate his son. "It wasn't me father. I simply killed the beast in one swipe. Willow did all the work. Maybe we could make an exception and allow Willow to become a knight of Camelot. I already planned on letting Lancelot become one." Arthur's such a sweetheart but his father would never allow me to be one.

"Willow ,my dear, I have a question to ask you." I looked to my father and tilted my head. "Yes father?" "Do you want to come home with me or stay here? You seem to have many friends here. You seem to have caught the eyes of a young man here as well." I looked around at all the people I've grown close to in the last, god six months? I stopped at Arthur with hopeful eyes. 'Maybe, just maybe Father is talking about Arthur.' I looked back at my father with hope filled eyes. "If I stay can Lance stay? I can always come visit you whenever you would like. Could you maybe talk to king Uther about letting me join the knights of Camelot?" Father had a smile on my face as I said all of this. "I was hoping you would want to come home with me." I hugged my father. "I can come home if you really want me to father." He hugged me tighter. "No you belong here. This is your new home and I don't want to take that away from you. I will also talk to him about letting you join. I love you dear. I love you so much." He let me go and walked over to Uther to talk to him.

Dinner came around quickly. My family and Arthur's sat at the table to eat. "Willow ,my son and your father have brought something to my attention." I stopped eating and looked up at Uther. "What might that be sire?" "They both wish to make you a knight of Camelot. If I do this not only am I bending my own rules but you with be the first Lady of the Knights." I smiled up at him. "Thank you sire." He cut me off before I could speak anymore. "On this accord, I Uther Pendragon, am bending my rules to make you a knight. Welcome to the knights of Camelot, Lady Willow." The night went on and I had the biggest smile on my face. I just have to remember to thank my father and Arthur tomorrow.
