N/A first time writer, all reviews are welcome. I need some feedback to improve :D Also not very good at spelling so if you spot something I've missed please let me know.
Darkness. My hands and feet are bound, my eyes covered. I have no idea of where I am. Fear coursed though me, is this it? The end? No, somehow Merlin will save me. Okay I'm calm, now plan of action. I should eavesdrop. I perked up my ears and listened to the conversation going on near by.
A low rough voice: "Pass the meat you scurvy dog" I heard clanking of pots and dishes. A fire was crackling near by.
A new voice smoother but still low: " should we give some to her, Frank?" silence. A shiver passed though me as I felt them staring at me.
"No. Lady Morgana requested her specifically not to be fed, Must be to do with her plan" He must be Frank, he sounded authoritative. Was he the leader? But it was obvious that Morgana was behind this but why? Why would she go to all this trouble just to kidnap me? Unless…she knows. She must do. I have to escape back to the castle! I have to warn Merlin!
"we shall arrive before nightfall at the castle of Avalon. Lady Morgana will be waiting" damn! Only till night fall! but how long is that? I can't wait any longer! Merlin Save me!
I sat upright. The morning sun poured into my hut though a tiny window above my bed. I clutched my head in agony.
"grrrr stupid vision" I muttered under my breath. But what did it mean? and who's Merlin? My mother walked in with a basket filled with clothes and set them down next to the fire. She spotted me clutching my head, and as always ignored it. She hates my magic.
"had another vision" I said.
"mmmm, if your up can you swill out the pigs and collect the eggs from the chickens. Then once you've done that bring this washing up to the river and rinse it. When your back you can have some breakfast"
" I was kidnapped in the vision, I think. My hands and feet were bound. I couldn't see anything only hear. I wanted to go back to a castle to someone named Merlin"
"then once you have ha breakfast you can go deliver the dried clothes to everyone in the village. Whilst you're their can you get some cotton from Mr. Flanagan we're almost out"
Both of us were tactfully ignoring the others conversation I sighed and conceded.
"I'm going to do the pigs. Once I have the eggs should I bring them back?"
"yes, I'll be here"
I walked out and picked up the bucket of swill. I feed the pigs and gave them some fresh hay before collecting the eggs. I handed them to mum and picked up the basket of clothes and went to the river. I began to bath them when I heard a soft whinny. I looked up and there was the most stunning horse I'd ever seen.
"hello Mr horse" I called softly
I picked an apple from a nearby tree and held it out to him. He seemed suspicious at first but bit into the apple. Once deemed okay he ate the rest in my palm. His hot breath tickled my palm. I laughed.
" you shouldn't do that you know." I voice called from the trees. I jumped and dropped the apple core. A boy of my age walked out of the tree. He had dark hair that was in a mess. His cheeky smile caught me off guard. He was wearing a tan jacket and a red handkerchief round his neck. God he was cute! I realised that he had spoken to me and that an unnatural amount of time had passed since he had spoken. He looked confused but still smiling.
"oh sorry I didn't know"
He smiled and held out his hand " Merlin". wait what? This was Merlin? O.K then?
"Crystal" I said and shock his hand. This was Merlin. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now what!
"so" I said "what are you doing here?"
" I am King Arthur's manservant and he is hunting. I have been instructed to rest and water his horse. " No. My head started to spin. Merlin. The one whom according to my vision is the one I will love. He is in Camelot. The very kingdom that is responsible for my fathers death. No.
"oh" I said. Feeling rather sick. The world started spinning and pushing down on me. "Crystal?" I heard Merlin call. "Are you okay?"
"No I'm not okay." I whispered and fell to my knees. " please get help" Then everything went dark.
