Arthur Pendragon x Reader ?Outlander?

The fireplace crackled silently and you watched the flames dance in the darkness.
You needed to get back somehow.
You should sneak away and try to find the cave, hoping that it would bring you back to your time.
But you also knew that it wouldn't be a good idea to flee now, it was night and cold, you wouldn't be able to find the cave.
"What are you thinking about?", Arthur suddenly asked and set down next to you.
"Just...", you stumbled. " Just trying to remember what had happened. But I can't."
Arthur sighted: "Here.", he held a blanket out to you.
"Thank you but it's okay, I'm not cold."
"You're shaking so hard, it's making my teeth rattle.", he said and laughed silently.
Without another word you took the blanket from him and covered yourself, feeling the warms coming back to your body.
After some time you broke the silence: "I need to go back."
"Back? What do you mean?", Arthur looked at you confused.
"Back to the cave where I woke up. Maybe I'll find something there that will help me remember.", you tugged the blanket closer to your face. " I'll go back tomorrow."
"No.", Arthur tone was hard and ordering.
Shocked your eyes darted to him: " What? Why?"
"Because I won't let you walk alone through this forest. You lost your memory, you have no shoes and you're only wearing your underdress. It's too dangerous."
"But-", you wanted to protest but got cut off by Arthur: "No buts. You will come with us to Camelot and then we can maybe ride back to find the cave you are talking about."
Defeated and sad you looked at the ground,
"Try to sleep now.", he stood up and walked back to Merlin, who was already sleeping.
Your eyes followed him as he laid down some meters away from Merlin, holding his sword tight in one hand.
As much as you hated the situation you were in now, you had to sleep too, so you tried to make yourself comfortable with the tree behind you and the stinky blanket over you.
Thank god that you were badly exhausted or else you would have probably never fallen asleep.

The sound of screams, grunts, and metal being clashed together woke you up.
Tired you opened your heavy eyelids.
Just as a man fell right before your feed, he was bleeding and his eyes already looked dead.
You wanted to scream but your voice failed you.
As you looked up you saw how Arthur was fighting against two men, he easily parried their attacks.
This was your chance.
Silently you sneaked on your forth into the forest until you were far away enough from the fight.
Then you got up and ran.
You ran as fast as you could, as fast as your legs would carry you.
The only thing you had in mind was to find the cave.
Stumbling, falling and getting up, again and again, you ran deeper into the woods.
But you had no clue in which direction you should go.
You fell again but this time you didn't get up, you stayed on the ground and laid on your back.
Tears rolled down your cheeks and you sobbed.
Like this, you would never find your way back home. It was hopeless.
Suddenly you heard the galloping of a horse and a shadow fell on you.
"I hope you just ran away because you were scared.", Arthur said and got down from his horse, he sounded angry.
"Leave me alone, please.", you begged.
Arthur grabbed you by your arm and pulled you back on your feed: "No, You'll come with me."
"I'm not going with you!", protesting you pulled your arm away.
"Oh yes, you will!"
"Or what? Are you going to kill me if I don't?"
"No...", he looked confused about what you said. "But you don't look that heavy. If you won't walk I'll pick you up and throw you over my shoulder. Do you want me to do that?"
Grumpy you looked to the ground: "No."
"Well, then, I suppose this means you're coming with me now."
Arthur pointed at his horse and helped you get up on it.
He sat behind you and had his arm around you so he could hold the reins.
Arthur turned the horse around and galloped back to the glade where Merlin was waiting.
Merlin saw your sad face and flashed you a smile, trying to cheer you up.
But you couldn't smile back.
You were trapped hundreds of years away from your home in a time you knew nothing about.
And you still had no clue on how to get back.
