(MIRA'S POV)
For a couple of days, I have been running for my life from the place that I used to call home, actually, in my case, more like hell. I was too scared to stop or look behind me as I feared that my brother's men would be galloping behind me on their horses. My dress is ripped in many places because of how much the branches and sticks are scratching and how my hair gets caught in them each time. I willed myself to keep running faster and faster, even if my whole body is in pain, not noticing how much blood was covering me and the dress I have on. I try not to cry out and keeping quiet as I slow down slightly until finding an area next to me that would protect me from being seen. I curl up in a ball, trying to calm down, only then to hear the sound of a crossbow shooting something nearby as if someone was hunting. I slowly get up, leaning on the tree that's next to me as I try to get my bearings straight so I can get away from whoever that is. That's when this blast of pain shoots from my lower abdomen as I try to hold in my cry of pain, only it slips out right as I half stumble out of where I am, only to fall right into the hunter's path was using. I slowly get back up on my feet; I could make out two voices but only slightly as if they were coming towards me.
"My lady, are you alright? Why are you out here alone, for that matter?"
One of them asks, reaching out a hand only for me to flinch back; I look away from them as if they were going to hurt me, and I think they could tell the same by now.
"We're not going to hurt you. We want to help you."
The same one says this from before, and I look up at them now. The one that was doing most of the talking had blonde hair, and the second one that was with him had black hair, which for some reason I don't understand is that he looks familiar to me.
"Arthur, we need to take her back to Gaius, she looks badly injured." The one with black hair says to the blonde, or Arthur as he called him just now. I look behind the two and seeing two other men holding two horses in each hand by the reins. I see that they were in chainmail and wearing red cloaks with gold dragons on them for the seal by their shoulders. Arthur comes closer to where I am reaching a hand for me to take.
"Merl..."
I was about to say as my eyes roll back and I fall back to the ground.
"Merlin, get my horse we need to get her back fast!!"
Arthur yells Merlin then listens and goes over to where the two guards that came with them were standing and grabbing his and Arthur's horses and walking back to where Arthur is helping the girl. I was curious as to why she was in the middle of saying my name, but what is odd is that she looked at me as if I was someone she knows. Arthur picks her up in his arms and he sets her on his horse in front of himself as he gets up onto the saddle holding her close as he, Merlin, and the two guards race through the woods and straight back to the castle within a matter of a couple of minutes.
