Chapter 1:
Merlin POV:
I walk through the forest, making my way around the brooding trees, which loom over my head casting a giant shadow across the damp forest floor. My shoes squelch in the soft mud as I search for the herbs and plants, Giaus had sent me to receive. My eyes scan the forest floor, hoping I would find the herb Giaus calls Lavender, it was then I spot the vibrant violet colour. I stride over to the beautiful shrub, bending over before picking as much as I could before gently placing them in my basket. I jump, as a scream tore through the forest echoing, bouncing off the towering tree's.
"HELP! PLEASE ANYONE!" I hear a feminine scream plead for help as my body mechanically moves, I move my legs as fast as I could, sprinting, dodging the low branches, desperate to reach the pleading screams. I reach a large clearing, halting silently taking in the scene before my eyes. A young girl, around my age stood, her back pressed against a tree, her face blocked by a group of five men stalking towards her like a predator a its pray. Rage built in side me as one of the men punches her in the stomach, knocking the wind out of the girl, and before I knew what I was doing I rush forward out of my hiding place.
"HEY!" I shout as the men turn and spot me, and to my surprise two of the ugly thugs ran towards me, my eyes flash gold as I knock one of the thugs charging at me backwards. I feel a fist smack into my cheek, my head whips to the side , the force of the punch dazzling me for a few seconds, before my body reacts. I duck under the next punch surprising myself at my swiftness, I dodge the flying fist once again before I take my own shot at the thugs ugly face, he grunts and tumbles backwards giving me enough time to use my magic once again. If there were no more foes to fight I would have burst out laughing, I punched a guy!. But I had no time to celebrate my little achievement as another two ruffians ran towards me. I take them both down with only my words and the flash of gold in my eyes. The remaining man's dark eyes meet mine and a evil grin spread across his face, as he swiftly turns towards the girls and plunges a dagger into her side.
"NO!" I shout and anger takes over my body and I sent the man flying backwards, he hits a tree before falling to the floor, hopefully dead. I run to the girl's side, praying she was not dead, For some reason I felt a strange feeling of needing to protect the girl. As I reach the girl I notice her beauty for the first time she had long caramel coloured hair flowed down passed her feminine shoulders, I sink down beside her and move her flowing hair out of her face, I feel myself being sucked into her enchanting beauty, she had green eyes like the colour of the forest surrounding us, she had delicate cheek bones with creamy white skin, she had a slender frame, but taller than most women I had met, she was truly the most beautiful woman I had seen.
"Th..thankyou" she manages to say her breathing laboured, blood now was seeping through her emerald dress.
"Your bleeding, I need to look at your wounds. What is your name? if you don't mind me asking" I question as I remove her hand from where she was pressing her wound
"Isabella, my name is Isabella, but you can call me Isabel if you wish" she replies, her voice angelic and innocent.
"My name is Merlin" I answer as I take off my handkerchief and press it down on her wound, I hear her wince and my heart breaks at the sound "sorry"
I say looking up to her green eyes. She smiles weakly at me, but to my surprise her eyes widen and before I could even question her, her green eyes flash silver and I hear a smack sound behind me, I look over my shoulder to see one of the thugs had woken up and was stalking towards us. But it was not him that shocked me it was the fact that this girl had magic!
"you have magic!" I exclaim searching her eyes for answers
"so do you, Emrys" she answers and my eyes widen.
"how do you know my name?"
"I shall tell you, but I think it would be wise to treat my wounds first" she answers.
"Oh, yes, that would be wise" I say before giving her a smile and taking her into my arms.
"what are you doing?" she asks shock clear in her voice.
"I'm carrying you, how else are you going to get to Camelot?" I question
"Walking?" she says
"I do not think you could walk, you are loosing too much blood I need to get you back to Gaius, he will help you." I say as lift her completely in my arms, finding her surprisingly light. I feel her bury her head into my shoulder, and I felt a stupid smile take over my face.
"it shan't be long, we will arrive in Camelot in no time,Isabella" I exclaim but when I get no answer I feel my stomach sink "Isabel?" I try again but no answer came, I feel my heart stop...
Well that was chapter one! thanks for reading! hope you enjoyed :D
