Two personalities live together in one body. But what happens when this sorceress comes to Camelot?

Hey all! So, this is one of my 'unfinished' stories. No - don't leave yet! I just mean that I haven't written it all yet. If someone likes it (and posts a review saying so!), then I will continue writing the story, and you'll get the rest of it.

They were out hunting, and had come across quite a large, and scary looking, boar. Stupidly, there were only two of them, the prince and his servant, and to take on a beast of that size when only one could fight… I almost wanted to let them die for their stupidity.

Almost.

Instead, I did what I had to. I levitated the spear beside me and fired it into the beast's heart as it was charging at the prince. He was lying on the floor, holding his spear up, but he didn't look like he would survive being trampled. I heard it squeal as it flew off to the side and lay dead against a trunk. Both of them looked around, shocked, like they were trying to pinpoint where the spear had come from. The prince jumped up and spoke out to me, "Who's there? Come out."

I quickly changed my form. I cast off the trousers and switched them for a dress, and shortened and lightened my hair. I felt my personality change as I switched forms. My mind, more emotional and more worried, tried to plan out the situation rather than jumping into it. I was suddenly nervous, and I froze behind the tree. I knew that Elise would cope well in this situation, but she was not the serving girl. Kara was. So that was the form in which I had to earn his respect.

"Come out. We won't harm you." I knew that he would, if he knew what I was, but I stepped out from behind the tree and walked towards him. He still had his spear up.

He immediately lowered it when he saw me. "Do you know who threw that spear?" He asked me. I almost chuckled.

"I did."

"You did?"

"Yes, sire."

"Well, you have a very good throw." I almost chuckled again at his refusal to say that I saved his life.

"It was a lucky shot." I lied.

"What brings you to Camelot?" he asked me. I was surprised that it had come to that so quickly.

"I'm searching for work, sire. But there don't seem to be that many people that could use a skilled servant." I sighed dramatically.

"Well, you can come back with us. Maybe you could teach Merlin a thing or two about how to do the job properly." He indicated with his head to his servant as he said it, so I knew that must be the one he was talking about.

"What about the boar?" I asked. It would be a waste to just leave it here.

He seemed surprised by my concern for it, "We'll send some guards out for it later." With that, he set off along a well-trodden path. Merlin looked back at me as he set off, "You coming?" I quickly started walking and tried to keep up with them.

Arthur walked ahead and me and Merlin talked a little. Most of the time, he asked me questions which I didn't answer, such as where I was from, because I'd been travelling since I could remember. Of course, I couldn't tell him that – so I just said that I didn't want to talk about it, and he left it at that. He was really easy to be with, and I found myself liking him. I also confirmed that the prince's name was Arthur, and learnt many other things about his life in Camelot. A lot of things seemed to happen there… it was like it was a magnet for danger. Elise would like that – the trouble we caused was never enough for her.

The path suddenly opened up in front of us, and I was left with the view of the castle of Camelot. I had to admit, it was breathtaking. The towers raised above us, like they were reaching for the sky. And amazing coloured windows… it was like the castle was sparkling in the evening light.

"It has that effect on you." I turned my head to the side to see Merlin smiling at me, and I smiled back. I looked up at the castle again and started walking. He followed.

"Hey, I didn't catch your name."

"Kara." He nodded and smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"No." I raised an eyebrow. "I just had a bad experience with someone who called herself Kara, that's all. I'm over it now." He said determinedly, and smiled at me again, and this time it reached his eyes.

He spoke again, "do you have anywhere to stay tonight?" The question surprised me, but he was a really thoughtful boy, so I guess it shouldn't have. Not that I'd ever been asked before – or ever had the need of anywhere to stay. I shook my head.

"Do you want to come with me? I mean, I'm sure Gaius won't mind, and I know you'd be in with boys, but you could have-" he was getting all stuttery because he didn't want to sound like he liked me, but he wanted to be kind.

"That'd be great, Merlin." I smiled warmly at him again, "Thank you." He smiled back at me.

"Come on, slowcoaches!" Arthur yelled back at us, and I looked at Merlin with a challenging glace, then lifted my skirts and started running. He set off after me, and soon we were running in time. Just before we reached the gates, I inched ahead. He laughed as we pulled up.

"Honestly, you two, can you try to look composed?"

I already felt like I was a part of them.

Arthur dismissed Merlin early so he could take me around, but in the end we just went straight back to his chambers – neither of us really wanted to go out in the cold, and the castle was a bit spooky as no-one was around.

"I should probably go in and ask Gaius if it's ok first…" He trailed off, and I realised that he was waiting for me to say something.

"Oh," I flicked my eyes up to his face and smiled, "sure, I'll be fine out here for a minute."
