Trapped in the Past

Chapter 7

The horse Merlin and I were on were rather slow and the knights were up ahead. It was good so I could talk to Merlin. However, he did not seems very happy and would not talk to me. Without any doubt, he would have already thought I was planning something bad to kill Arthur after I yelled at Arthur.

"Merlin..." I called. All he did was being silent. "Merlin!" I called him once more, but slightly louder. Again he kept silent. I sighed."MERLIN PLEASE!" I pleaded.

"WHAT?! Don't think trying to talk to me will change anything. I know you.. you are a devil in a sheep clothing. So don't even waste your time!" Merlin warned me without looking at me and shrugging his arm off.

"Fine if you don't want to listen.. then I shall show you!" I said as I touched his arm which was the closest thing I could reach.

*Merlin.
Once I felted the touched, I heard and saw things, the future. I shouldn't have seen it. But I did.

"What are you talking about, Delilah? What are you doing here? What are you doing with that necklace?" A girl with a brown curly hair asked. "OH MY GOD! What are you trying to do? It is too dangerous to go back in time. Many people will saw you." she added.

"STOP IT HERMIONE! I am no use here.. I am trying to safe more life and I don't care if I would not be able to come back." Katarina said, no.. her name was... Delilah... Was it? "Ron, I know you hate me. Hermione, I know you are trying to warn me about the danger ahead, but.. I have to do this. Hermione, I am not going three hours back. I am going centuries back." so.. the girl with the brown hair was Hermione.

Then, I saw her turning the necklace.. what is that?

Then it stopped. "Merlin, please.. I am not coming here to make Arthur's life miserable. As the matter of fact, I don't even know who I was when I came here..." Katarina said. Lies. Witch liked her couldn't be trusted.

"Enough! I don't want to hear or see anymore lies from you..." I shrugged her hand of my arm and continued the journey back to Camelot. She sniffed.

*Delilah

We finally arrived to Camelot. It was beautiful. The castle was gigantic and I could not wait to run into the castle and explore. I was sure act like a tourist but I could not do that since in the people's memories, I grew up here. Gwaine got off his horse and wanted to help me down but I said, "thank you but it's ok.. I can manage," and got down from the horse even with a little wobbling. Gwaine looked at me with a surprise look on his face. Was I a horrible person?

What? what's wrong? it's not like I am a princess that every knights needs to help me.... Oh wait... I am.. I could not get use to this.. All my life I had been a fighter. Arthur looked at me and rolled his eyes. I truly did not understand what was the matter with him. Was I that bad before the new me came? I sighed once more and walked towards the two giant doors .

A few seconds later, the King busted out, running towards me. It was scary. it felt like he was a giant trying to kill me but as I looked into his eyes, I felt the loved from a parent. Even when I did not know him. I looked at Arthur who gave a disgusted look. I must be so bad. Uther hugged me and questioned me repeatedly, "Oh my dear child, are you alright? how did you ran away? Did the saxons hurt you? Did they torture you? If I find them, I will surely murder them."

My voice shook again, " I am alright, F-Father.." I looked into his eyes and he was at the verge of crying. I returned with a faint smile.

"Oh my dear Katarina.. you need to get clean and have dinner with me. Arthur! You will join us too!" The King said. I just nodded my head as I was lead to my chambers and greeted by my servant? Gwen? Oh my... my life just gets better and better.

"Welcome home my lady...." Gwen said. I smiled and nodded my head. " I will prepare you a bath. Meanwhile... please have some food...." She smiled as she handed me the food. As she walked out of my chambers, I could hear her mumbling, "She better off in the woods and die..." It was not loud but I could still hear it. I feel terrible. Although it was not me who was being such a bitch, I felt terrible... I hope I could change everyone's mind towards me.

I went to the bed and launched myself back and sighed,"Welcome home Delilah Potter... who happens to be Katarina Pendragon."
