Ruelle was currently hidden behind a tree near the tent Morgana and Gwen was in. The red head listened to their plan with a sly smile playing on her lips. The only fault in their plan was that these men were no gentlemen, they were pigs. She knew these type of people, being with Robin and the Merry Men taught her that.

She made her way towards the river and hid in a thick branched tree. If their plan was for Morgana to bathe then they would escort her here to the river.

About ten minutes of hiding out in the tree Ruelle heard a small group of four approach the river. It was Morgana, Gwen and two men, one of those who is in charge.

"You may find the water, a little icy." The man said slyly, his voice husky, causing Ruelle to fake gag.

"Fuckin toad." She muttered, glaring holes in the back of his head.

"I'm sure I will manage just fine." Morgana hissed back in disgust. Ruelle adjusted herself so her stomach was flat on the branch, and she slowly pulled the bow off her back and notched an arrow getting ready to shoot. "If you was any kind of gentleman you would give me some privacy."

"Well unfortunately for you, I am no kind of gentleman. Now get on with it!" The man said chuckling smugly, however he didn't realise his friend had let go of Guineveres arm.

Morgana started to undress herself, keeping calm while doing so. The man took a few steps forward and Gwen gave Morgana a nod.

"You can at least turn your backs!" Morgana protested.

"So you can make a run for it. Do you think I'm that stupid?." The man replied, his eye twitching in annoyance.

"I think you're very stupid." Morgana smirked. She dropped her purple dress to the floor, leaving her in her underdress, the man looked confused, but before he knew it Gwen grabbed his sword and Morgana socked him one in the face. Ruelle nearly laughed, Morgana has a strong arm! However her eyes snapped to the other man about to advance on Guinevere. Swiftly she pulled back on her bow string until the tension built up and released it, it pierced the mans flesh and he let out a yell before falling to the floor, dead.

As much as Guinevere and Morgana wanted to know who fired the arrow, the two ran off. Ruelle jumped down off the tree and followed, making sure to stay out of sight.

Ruelles blood started to pump, she could feel the adrenaline and she loved it. Suddenly Morgana and Gwen changed course, Ruelle followed, still out of sight from everyone.

They kept running until Gwen let out a yelp and fell to the floor. She must of twisted her ankle, Ruelle assumed.

"Come on Gwen!" Morgana exclaimed, trying to pry her maid off the ground and run but Guinevere refused, knowing she would just slow the Lady down.
