"Okay." I answered, standing as well. Liam was a captain I guess, he had a lot of men under his command. He told his trusted companion to fill in for him while he was gone and we took a few men with us for protection. I somehow remembered to ride a horse and I rode next to Liam, 4 men surrounding us.
(I hope I'm not doing terrible with this..)
Soon we were off , my four most trusted men with us. I glamced over at her , seeing how well she was riding the horse. "You seem to remember riding well." I said, grinning.

((You're doing okay.))
I smiled. "Thank you." I answered, glancing at him. "I must have loved riding." I looked around. England is so beautiful.. Except that it is at constant war. "What do I do if we are attacked?" I asked suddenly.
"Well.. If that happens, just get behind me. I'll make sure that no one will hurt you, okay? And if something happens to me, just run, alright?" I said.

"Okay.." I said softly. Another knight gave me a knife and told me to put it in my boot. I did as he said and I stroked the horse's mane as we rode on quietly. Everyone was tense, at attention.
(Should they be attacked?)
♥Volbeat♥
((Yeah.))
We had talked about that at the right time, I saw four men on horses charging at us. My men quickly got off, and charged at the men with swords, one man managed to make it over to me, I quickly got my sword out and I blocked his first swing, turning to see if Caylin was okay, she was my number one concern now.

"Liam watch out!" I screamed as the man took another swing at him. I leaned down and grabbed the knife from my boot and I threw it as hard as I could at the man Liam was fighting. It hit him right in the chest and he fell off the horse, going still. I casped and covered my mouth. I just killed a man.
My eyes widened, she just saved my life.. "Bloody hell.." I said, looking at the dead guy on the floor. "Thank you.. That was amazing." I said.

The enemies were all killed, one of them at my own hands. I am disgraced, I know it. I grabbed the reins and kept my eyes down. ".......... Let's just go." I said softly.
"Hey.. You did what you had to do okay? They are the enemy.." I said, getting back on my horse.
♥Volbeat♥
I nodded. "Yeah...." I answered. I hate war. I hate it so much. I closed my eyes. Why can't I remember anything? Am I married? Am I widowed? Am I betrothed? I am 17.. I should have been married off by now.. Is anyone looking for me?
It was soon going dark, we would make it there in the morning. We began to set up camp for the night. I glanced at her, and she still looked sad, lost... I wish I could help her, I didn't know what to do.

I sat by the fire and tried to stay warm, but it was hard. It was very cold tonight. At least there were trees to block some of the chilling wind. I looked over at some of the men and Liam talking. About the battle, no doubt. They must be worried about their men. I sighed. I must be a burden..
My guys all agreed to stay up and watch for danger, and take turns. That made me feel better. I then walked over to Caylin, and sat beside her, seeing she was freezing. "Here.." I said, grabbing a blanket that was beside me, and I wrapped it around her.
♥Volbeat♥
"Thank you." I said softly, giving him a small smile. I looked up into his warm, brown eyes. "What do I do if this doesn't work?" I whispered.
"Well.. you saw, I have two cots in my tent.. youre more than welcome to stay with me if youd like. And then I could ask around myself, and see if we can find out any other info." I said, rubbing my cold hands together.
♥Volbeat♥
"Thanks.. But I can't burden you anymore." I said softly. I tucked my hands in my sleeves, trying to stay warm.
"Youre not a burden." I said softly, watching the fire.
♥Volbeat♥
I sighed. "You should be fighting the French instead of escorting a confused woman to the king.."
"I'd rather escort a confused woman to the king than fight the French. War is stupid." I said, running a hand through my hair.
♥Volbeat♥
I smiled. "But you're fighting for our country and that is very noble and brave of you." I said softly, watching the soft flicker of the flames.
"But.. A break is nice.. Its tiring and emotionality draining." I said, looking at her.
♥Volbeat♥
"I would imagine.." I said, glancing at him. Soldiers miss their wives and children at home.. "Are you married?" I asked him.
I sighed at her question, and slowly shook my head. "No.. Was engaged once, that never worked out." I said, remembering all that had happened with that.
♥Volbeat♥
"I see." I replied, looking back at the fire. "Well, you're handsome, and charming. I'm sure you can woo any village woman."
I raised an eyebrow, and glanced at her. "Thank you.. But, I don't think the woman I've fallen for would want me as a husband." I said, with a shrug.
♥Volbeat♥
I looked back at him. "And why is that?" I asked, my fingernails scratching at a mosquito bite on my arm.
"Cause I don't think others would allow her and I to be together." I said, I hoped that she didn't know I was talking about her..
