After a good 3 days of being lost, Arthur finally found me. How? I had no idea. The first time he saw me, what I saw was hatred. He kept giving me a cold shoulder. He did not want to have a conversation with me. Same goes with his men. But they sure look handsome.

They were rough. Arthur simply grabbed my wrist and pushed me to a gangly man who looked at me with suspicion. There weren't any conversations. All he did was helped me got on a horse.

So we were on our way home. There were many scolding from Arthur to me. After 4 hours, there was be a pit stop. To feed the horses and had a meal. It will take up days to reach Camelot. I did not speak much. To add on, I did not know them. I got tired so easily. 1 more day until we arrived.

So I had my rest. But one night, I jolted up in fear from my sleep. Another nightmare. I feel my face. It was tears.

"Katarina.... Are you alright?" asked Arthur who came rushing towards me. He finally spoke to me. In a caring manner. The other knights were looking towards my direction, including Merlin. He was not very happy. He didn't seems to like me very much. It was more despise.  Of course.. this should not happened anyway.. "Katarina!" Arthur  had his hands on my shoulder and gently shook me. Everything was blurry. I did not know what was going on. "I heard you screamed. what's wrong?" he asked, annoyed now.


"N-nothing.. I am alright...it's just a bad dream." my voice shakes. That was obvious. Even Arthur gave a sarcastic laugh. "Fine... I dreamt, I was going to be killed." I lied. After all, Arthur would not know that Merlin was a Sorcerer and even though Morgana did not exist, there will be other threat lurking around. Merlin's eyes met mine. That look. I know what it was. It meant, I don't trust you or you cannot fool me Witch or  Who are you? It was full of hatred. I could feel it. He was the most powerful Sorcerer and I could assure myself that my life hear will suck.

Next morning came and I was the first to wake up. Actually, I did not sleep. It was hard to sleep on the hard ground. I was never the camp person. I had watched the sunrise from the east and waited for the others to wake up.  Since I had nothing better to do, I rolled up the sleeping bag, not even sure if that was what it was called. The men sleep like pigs, they snored, loudly. I went to fed the horses and checked if they had woken up from where I was standing but Merlin was not there. I cringed, thinking where could Merlin possibly be. I turned to face the horse and there Merlin stood, staring at me with his devilish eyes and was prepared to kill me.

"I don't know who you are and how you changed the past. All I am going to say is, you better go back to where you came from before I killed you without any hesitation. If you think you can kill the prince, you are truly mistaken. I am not going to make the same mistake I did before you came to this time. I am not going to wait for you to pretend to be a changed person when I know that will never happen. I will make sure that the King found out about you and get you h-" Merlin was threatening me when Arthur woke up.

"Katarina! Ah.. there you are.. looks like you packed up all by yourselves..." Arthur mocked while the others laughed. What? gosh! what a jerk! I thought in my head. "Seriously, you packed your things... what a big change!" he did it once more. Sarcastic much! Now it is really getting on my nerves! Stop being Draco Malfoy!

"Hmm. What happened to the nice brother last night? He got eaten by a Hippogriff last night?!" I provoked then I thought whether Hippogriff exist in this time. Delilah.... Please don't be dumb... those are magical creatures. He wouldn't know.

"Hmm yea.. never changed.. you are still young with a brain of a little girl... Full of imagination.. grow up Katarina.."Arthur  messed up my already-messy hair and once again the knights laughed.

"HEY ARTHUR! YOU KNOW WHAT?! I AM NOT A LITTLE GIRL ANYMORE.. STOP TREATING ME LIKE I AM A BABY. I CAN LIVE BY MYSELF. YOU KNOW WHY SOME PEOPLE CAN'T TOLERATE YOU, BECAUSE YOU ARE ONE BIG FAT ARSE THAT GET ON PEOPLE'S NERVE!"  I screamed.  Arthur looked at me like I was some kind of a joke. I was boiling. All they did was laugh at me.

He made his man helped me while I got on a horse , sitting behind Merlin  who hated it.
