A/N: Okay, so I decided to rewrite this story. As you all know, I wrote a six chapter version of this. It wasn't very good and I know I can do better. In the first version, Mergana came very fast in the story, this time I want to stretch it out a bit more. Also, it was a slight crossover with Legend of the Seeker. I will keep that version up but, I think this one will be better. Also, in the warnings I said sex. There is some sex in the story but it's not descriptive. It's just, clothes came off and they made love. Enjoy! And please remember to review :)
"All these thoughts, they make no sense." -One Step Closer, Linkin Park
"Because he's already here." Merlin heard Morgana say to Morgause has his heart pounded. He hear nothing but baited breath from the two of them as they probably glared at his hiding spot. He didn't know what to do. Run away? Stay there and hope that they ignore him? That wasn't going to happen. He heard footsteps approach him and he jumped up to see Morgana ten feet away from him and Morgause not far behind.
"Did you really think I was that stupid Merlin?" Morgana asked with a scoff.
He let out a breath and kept staring, Then his eyes flicked up and they turned a golden amber. Both Morgause and Morgana went flying into the air. He turned around and started sprinting back to Camelot. He should have never followed Morgana. He had just seen the top of the castle when an invisible force grabbed his ankles and pulled him down. He turned over and put his weight on his hands has he sort of crab- walked away from the two glaring sisters. Then some roots sprang from the ground and wrapped around his ankles and wrists, binding him there.
"How you could Merlin?" Morgana screamed at him as tears streaked her face. "You've had magic all this time and you never stepped up to help me! I needed you Merlin! And you turned me away…I don't understand... I trusted you!" Her lips trembled and her sister pulled her into a comforting embrace.
"Do not cry over him, sister. He will no longer be a thorn in your side." Morgause whispered comfortingly.
"Thorn in my side? I don't want to just get rid of him! I want him to pay! You haven't even apologized for poisoning me. All you do his say, 'I didn't want to. There was no other way.' You stabbed me in the back! And I didn't know what was going on. I was just as scared as you!" Morgana admitted breaking away from Morgause. "You are nothing but a hypocrite and a liar. You're a coward Merlin!" With those words, she drew a dagger from her belt and threw it at him.
"Sister!" The dagger dropped into the dirt, inches from Merlin's body. Morgause turned to Morgana. "Don't you see? He's much more useful alive then dead."
"If you think, I'm going to muck out your stables…" Merlin muttered.
"Oh no Merlin, we have much better and more useful things for you to do for us." Morgause said with a smile. "And we don't even have stables. We have castles."
"Oh, thank goodness." Merlin gave a sigh of relief trying to remain strong. Oh, but it was hard. He felt terrible for lying to Morgana. He should have told her. Maybe this would have never happened. He knew he was trapped and there was nothing he could do. Maybe, if they didn't know he was a sorcerer he would have a better chance of escaping. But they knew and would probably take good measures to make sure that he would be completely at their mercy.
"Now, sister. The boy may be skinny and lanky and probably ten pounds, but I refuse to carry him back to Cenred's palace."
"I am not skinny!" Merlin protested still trying not to feel completely hopeless.
"You do have big ears." Morgana pointed out with a smirk.
"Love you too." Merlin said sarcastically.
"Anyways," Morgause said with a cough, "As I was saying, I'm going to go to Cenred's, get some horses and we'll bring him to the dungeons. Before, I go, I'll leave a fake letter to, what's the old man's name…?"
"Gaius." Morgana and Merlin said at the same time and then returned to glaring at each other.
"Yes, Gayeus or whatever he's called."
"Gaius!"Merlin and Morgana exclaimed.
"Whatever! I'll leave him a letter from Merlin that says that he went to Ealdor to surprise his mother." Morgause explained. That took a long time.
"And you're not worried that I just heard your whole plan…" Merlin mumbled.
"Shut up Merlin." Morgana said very much like Arthur would.
"So, I'm going to leave you to here-"
"Wait, no!" Merlin and Morgana protested at the same time.
"You must be eager for some time alone." Morgause said pointedly.
"Riiiiight." Merlin said.
"So eager…" Morgana moaned.
"Non moverse ou falar sen permiso." Morgause whispered. She leaned close to Morgana's ear. "I put an enchantment on him. He can't willingly speak or move. He is completely at your mercy. Just don't kill him." Morgause whispered. "Axeonllarse." And Merlin was hauled into a kneeling position. "Bye Merlin." And with no sound or big bang, Morgause disappeared.
Merlin was about give a snarky comment about her teleporting skills but he realized he couldn't talk or move. He looked at Morgana in horror.
"Well, Merlin. It's just you and me." Morgana said with a smirk. Then with a slight sway of her hips she approached Merlin. She grabbed his jaw. " You know what Merlin, you never helped me when I needed you most." She slapped him on the cheek. "It's only right of me to return the favor." She backhanded him but he remained rooted on his knees before her. With, a growl, Morgana brought her knee up to Merlin's chin and he flipped onto his back. "You," She grabbed at his dark hair and hauled him back up to his knees, "are nothing," She tackled him to the ground and straddled him. Her eyes met his. "but a," She brought her lips to his, "A coward." She moved to his big ears and bit down hard on his ear lobe. She released the the spell that held him in place but she casted another one that weakened his strength a lot. She felt him squirm beneath her and tried to get her off him.
"You've gotten heavier. Uther feeding you to much, my Lady?" Merlin asked and immediately regretted it. Because when Morgana gave a slightly ador-annoyed, growl, and launched her lips on his and her tongue pushed into his mouth. Merlin's whole mind turned to mush.
And then he started to kissing her back. And she pulled back but still he kept his lips to hers. When she finally detached herself from him, she gave him a very hard smack across the face.
Merlin was breathless. First, she yells at him after he reveals his magic, then she starts hurting him, then she starts...kissing him….Why? Why would she do something like that. She hated him. He had poisoned her. And he should hate her for conspiring with Morgause against Camelot. Then why had he kissed her back. He was attracted to her when he first met. How could he have not been? She had been confident, beautiful (still is), and kind. Now, she was only a shell of the women she used to be. And he was to blame for it. He should have found another way.
And now he knew he was going to pay for it.
"Oh, you poor thing." Morgana pouted then smirked as she ran a finger across his cheek. Sliding a tear away from his face. She smiled when she saw the way Merlin reacted to her touch. She had always noticed the way Merlin had looked at her and she guessed Merlin thought there was still some goodness in her. But there wasn't, that had been killed, chopped away by Merlin himself. She brought her lips close to his as her arms wrapped around his neck, her hands caressing it. "Oh, this is going to be fun. Poor defensive less Merlin. No where to run. No where to hide." She brought her lips to his. Bitting his lips, making them bleed. She broke the kiss and bit at his neck causing him to shudder. She smirked against his skin at his reaction.
"Sister, you're suppose to be punishing him not making love to him!"
Morgana's head flew up and she turned her head to see her sister. Morgause stood with her hands on her hips, two horse's reins in her hands.
"Oh, believe me sister. I have been torturing Merlin." Morgana said with a smirk.
Merlin rested his head on the ground. (Morgana was still straddling him) She was right. It was torture for her to be kissing him like she actually loved him when she hated him. He wanted to hate her for it. But he couldn't because some idiot part of his mind still loved her. But he was so close but so far from the women he loved.
"I am not riding with him!" Morgana growled, bringing Merlin back to reality.
"You're the one sitting on him! And kissing him!"
"I was punishing him!" Morgana protested.
"By kissing him?" Morgause asked in the most annoying way.
"…"
"Fine I'll ride with him."
