I groan as the sunlight hits my eyes. I sit up but go back down holding my head from the emerge pain I got. I groan out rolling myself off the bed and standing up holding my head. I squint my eyes open and see I wasn't in the cottage floor.
I become alert and look around immediately. There was a big bed and fancy furniture around the room. Even the floor felt expensive against my bare feet. The door opens and I jump looking for a weapon.
The closest thing was a white blouse and I grab it holding it towards the person. They put their hands up defensively and chuckle. It was Arthur. Though I knew him I was still not sure what I did or what I should do. "Haha a blouse? What are you going to do with a blouse?" He asks stepping towards me and I immediately go on higher alert. I go behind him and pull the blouse against his neck then kick behind his behind his legs so he falls on his knees facing away from me.
"Geez. You really can do something with a blouse." He says and I don't say anything but stay in place. He sighs. "Can you let go?" He says sassily and I hesitate before releasing the blouse from his neck and stepping away from him. "Now let me-" he steps to me again but I punch him in the face instinctively. He sighs. "That's it! GUARDS!" He yells and stomps of medal come running to the door. I panic even more and run to the towards the bed.
I grab his blanket and quickly wrap one end around the pole of the bed the grab it again. "Here we go again." I mumble running to the window and ramming my shoulder against it. It breaks and I fall out but some thing makes my arm ache at my weight. I look down at my waist and see..ARTHUR?!
"Fucking hell! Can't you stay in your room!" I exclaim and the bed that the sheets were tied around the bed pulls to the window at the weight and we fall closer to the floor. "If you hadn't been an idiot and ran out the fucking window we wouldn't be here!" He exclaims and I look up to see the guards discussing on what to do. "Ok. Umm going to let go. Try not to die." I say looking down. "What no-!" He says but I had already let go. I landed on my feet, crouched.
I stand up and start to run but there was a pain the the side of my neck. My vision blurs and my hand wobbly touches the spot. There was a sort of shot in my neck. Then everything went black.
"Who is she?" Says a muffled voice. "I don't know. But she was here with Merlin yesterday, she left him saying that he was friends with her." Says a different a little clearer. I opened my eyes and everything slowly got less blurry. I saw three people in the room and sat up grabbing the closest one to me and standing up. I have him in a choke hold as my vision gets clearer. Arthur and Gaius are in front of me looking concerned. I look down and see "Merlin?" I ask and he nods as best he could. "Yeah Nice to see you too." He gasps out. My eyes widen and I release him, he begins coughing immediately. "What happened?" I ask looking around to see I was in Merlins room. "A lot we'll talk about it later. Right now we need to heal you." Merlin says stepping closer to me. He tilts my bead to the side getting a view of my neck. "Heal me for what?" I say still confused. He touches my neck and a jolting pain runs through my body. I hiss at the pain. He retracts his finger from my neck and looks at me concerned. "It hurts? How bad?" He says tapping it again. "Like hell. So stop touching it." I say with gritted teeth. He nods stepping away and looking at Gaius.
"What hit her? Have you found out?" Merlin asks as I sit down on the bed again pulling my hair up with the fabric. "I am not allowed to help anyone unless authorized to by nobility. "Well I am fucking nobility. What happened?" I growl holding my neck. He looks at me confused. "You expect me to believe a stranger?" He mocks. "Do you think we're idiots?!" Arthur says distastefully. I roll my eyes. "I'm Anika Del Rio. Daughter of Sir Merril. Now get me healed." I spit out glaring at Arthur. His and Gaius eyes widen in surprise. "Anika?!" They exclaim. I growl. "Yes idiots! Now help me!" I say pointing at where the pain was coming from in my neck.
After about two hours Gauis gives me something to stop the pain. "We won't know what it is that hit you until tomorrow." He says and I nod. Arthur was sitting in the corner the entire time looking deep in thought. "Where were you this entire time? We thought you died." Arthur says looking up from his hands for the first time. "That was the point. But I met a friend and he planned on coming to Camelot. After three years we made it." I say standing up from the bed. "Do you guys have any water?" I say stretching. Merlin and Arthur clear their throats awkwardly looking away from me. "Oh and a new blouse." I say putting my arms back down, my stomach no longer in view.
I got everything I needed and left Gaius and Merlin waving them goodbye. I was walking down the corridors going to the exit, to find the exit. Deja by hit me and I slumped against the wall holding my head at the impact. The memories came flooding in.
"I'm a friend of Merlin..."
"A TALKING LIZARD...."
"Lolipop lolipop..."
"River...?"
"Aaaaagggghhh." I groan out at the memories hitting me like a wave. "I kissed him?!" I squeal.
"I kissed Arthur Pendragon?!"
