Hi! I'm new here on the site and have been inspired to do a fan fiction story since I've re watched the BBC series Merlin! This story is based off of a dream i keep having but it keeps adding on... I know weird! But then again if I didn't have this dream I wouldn't be writing this story...

Chapter 1: Meet the Family

"Wake up, sleepy heads." I said. I looked down at my little sister and brother. My smile widened, my siblings had forgotten what day it is today.

I walked over to where my sister lay sleeping. She had light brown hair, and beautiful green eyes just like me. I shook her arm, but she just rolled over and groaned.

I giggled before whispering, "Morning Brianna, did you forget you have work today?" I saw her eyes open wide before she got out of bed.

"Oh, that's right." She said as she put her dress on. I laughed and nodded before walking over to my brother.

"Jacob, come on it's time for you to go to work." I said. Jacob opened his eyes and looked at me with a scowl before getting up. His eyes were the color of the sky and his brown hair the color of our mothers.

"Thank you." Jacob mumbled. I hugged him before going into my room to change. I put on a grayish green skirt with a long sleeved shirt. The shirt was the same color as the skirt but darker and the sleeves were white. I then put on my mother's locket to finish the look.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked as I grabbed a basket full of laundry. They both raced into the room, Jacob in the lead. I laughed before handing both of them their lunches.

We all went our separate ways. I stopped to watch them. Brianna walked over to one of the barns where she worked as a stable hand to the horses. Jacob walked over to the blacksmith where he made weapons and learned to use them. They both loved their jobs and I was happy for them. As soon as they were out of site I turned on around and started walking over to the river near our little house.

"Corina!" I turned around at hearing my name to see my friend, Mackenzie walking up to me. She was a little shorter than me with bright blonde hair and blue eyes. Her little sister Madeline was right behind her but I saw Mackenzie send her away.

"Good morning Kenzie. Where are you off to?" I asked when she had caught up.

"The river, I have to do the laundry." She answered as she showed me the basket in her arms. I laughed and nodded and showed her mine as well.

"Have you heard from your parents?" she asked when we got to the river. I almost dropped my basket.

"No…" I said my head down. My parents had left to go visit the village Ealdor where my mother's friend Hunith lives. They never came back and it's been a month.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to impose," Kenzie said quickly. "I was merely curious." I laughed before turning back to my clothes. "Its fine I know you and how curious you can be" I said.

We laughed again before getting back to work…

(For a better feel of the mood listen to Peter Crowley's Medieval Anthem. Stop when you think its necessary.)

That night the town had a big festival and of course my siblings and I attended. My sister wore a blue dress made of wool that showed her figure nicely. My brother wore a blue shirt and brown pants with black boots. They were happy dancing and singing. I wore a tangerine colored dress with white sleeves. Everything was perfect until we heard the sound of horses coming. I ran towards Brianna and pulled her out of the way as they came charging in. We went over to Jacob and together went over to where he worked. I grabbed three swords and tossed Brianna and Jacob one. They caught them and then we slid out the back door just in time to see it catch on fire.

"We need to go now!" I yelled and they nodded back. Together we took off into the woods. Once we were far away we slowed down.

"What do we do now?" Brianna asked.

"I'm not sure." I told her. In truth I was in shock, that had been my home for ever and now we could never return. We kept walking for what seemed like hours before seeing a cave. We took shelter there for the night.
