Why am I so young? Chapter 5

He road fastly through the hills. He had to get there. Thousands of lives depended on him. He breathed hard his black horse moving as fast as the wind. Moving through trees and through rivers until he finaly reached it. King Laurence's castle. Now all that was left was to get King Laurence the message.1

"Knights, fellow brothers in arm" King Laurance looked around at his coragious knights. "It cuts me deeply to tell you that our victory was of fault. The Galai's army are stronger then what we hold here"2

Arthur stood "What now my King?" 3

"You knights will escort my family to Tonalai" 4

"And what of you my lord?" Terence stood and looked at his king.5

"I will remain here and fight with my people. My life is my family that is why I ask this of you" 6

"My king I will stay and fight by your side" Arthur raised his sword. 7

"As will I" Robert stood to his feet. 8

The other knights stood to their feet. "My knights please. If I die we will one day meet again in heaven or I will stand before you in victory" Laurence looked at his men then for a minute or two no words, there didn't have to be. For the look Laurence gave Arthur was like no other. Laurance left the men to there thoughts.9

"I will not leave him here to die!" Christian slamed his fist on the table.10

"King Laurance said his family was his life, we will do as he requested and escort his family to Tonalai" Arthur looked at his knights for any protest.11

"I will lay my life on the line for Laurance and his family. I would die before fail my king" Moved and stood beside Arthur.12

"I am with you" Arthur patted Roberts back then left the room. Arthurs friend was choosing death over life...13

"Father please come with us and forget we ever lived here!" Georgianna was in tears. "Georgianna I care for my people and as a good king should as a good man should I will stay and fight with them" King Laurance hugged his crying daughter. "Father please" She said softly in his arms. "When do we leave?" Questioned Queen Sara. "In the morn. I love both of you and I pray to God that we meet together again" Laurance kissed Sara's forhead. Sara's eyes filled with tears before she ran out of the room. Laurance lowered his head. "Philip will accompany you and your mother be safe my darling" Laurance left the room angry and sad. Only to leave Georgianna standing there in tears. "Why God? why do you seperate my mother and father? Why do you bring such sadness?" 14

"Are you ready m'lady?" Philip questioned his queen while helping her in the carrage. The twelve knights stood in a line infront of the carrage watching them and there suroundings. "Yes but I know not where Georgianna is"15

"I will find her for you m'lady"16

"No" Robert broke the line and dismounted his horse. "I will find lady Georgianna" Philip stomach twisted with jelousy. "Thank you Sir Robert" Sara nodded in aproval. 17

Georgianna was in the garden taking one last look at her rose garden, at her home. She took in a deep breath savering the last time she would smell the pine tree. Her father was most likely to die and she was fleeing. Georgianna squeezed the rose in her hand not caring that the thorns were digging in her flesh. "Father..." she said quietly. "father..." The one who showed her everything. He was going to die. 18

"Lady Georgianna" Robert called. She turned to him as pale as the moon. "Are you alright?" 19

A tear tringled down her cheek. "Father..." Before Georgianna hit the ground Robert rushed over and caught her. "Georgianna" Her eyes looked up at him and she touched his face. A mucsle jerked in his jaw. He couldn't describe the passion he felt for her at that moment. He put his arm under her legs then scooped her up then began to walk back to the carrage. 20

"Georgianna what happened?" Sara jumped out of the carrage and ran to her daughter. While Philip watched in shock "She fainted but I think she'll be ok" Sara stroked Georgianna's hair "Set her in the carrage" Sara motioned Robert to place her gently inside. When he released her from his arms disapointment filled him. It felt so great to hold her but so wrong. Queen Sara kissed Robert on the cheek. "Thank you, Sir Robert. Philip will you assist me?" Philip helped Sara in the carrage but his eyes were on Georgianna. "My Lady if there is anything I can do please do not hesitate to ask" Sara smiled at Philip but Robert just frowned. He didn't like the way Philip looked at Georgianna. But why? Any brother would do that for his sister wouldn't he? He shook his head.21

Laurence kissed Georgianna on the forhead then turned to his wife then kissed her softly on the lips. "We will meet again my love" Laurence waved the coach off. Sara watched as her husband was growing farther and farther away. One tear came, one tear of humense pain. Six knights followed behind. It was going to be a long journy.
