A/N: I know that Aithusa saved Morgana and it might be her change to the good side. Due to this story, we are going to forget hat ever happened and she didn't need to be healed and she is still healed, just very, very annoyed. Oh and there will or maybe be some torture. (I seem to write to many stories with torture. Read "The Outcasts" the book isn't finished, It's on hiatus but I'll be picking up on it soon. Pm for a teaser of the book :) This idea has been in my mind for a while. I'm not sure how this will turn out. There's a OC in this story, btw. This will focus more on Morgana than BBC probably would. But then again, I don't think BBC realizes just how amazing Morgana is (And how must chemistry Merlin and Morgana have...) and I'm going to start ranting about how merlin and morgana belong to each other,blah, blah, blah, anyways on with the story,
Disclaimer: I don't own the character or Colin Morgan and Katie McGrath, if I did, I'd lock them in a room together. Goodness, knows what would go on in there. ;)
Morgana sat on top of a dark stallion looking at the village she I've saved. The place where Merlin was born. She didn't want any trouble. But she did want something else.
She kept her hood up while she walked through Ealdor. No one saw her. She made her way to Hunith's house and stepped in and wrapped her hand around Hunith's mouth.
"Shh, I just want to talk." She whispered and dropped her arm.
"What do want Morgana?" Hunith asked.
"There are two groups of bandits planning to raid Ealdor. I'll get rid if them if you give me something in return." Morgana stated.
"How do I know you are telling the truth?"
"Hunith! I just saw bandits not far away from here!" A little bit announced as he rushed into her home. "Who's this?"
"A friend, Jepheth. Don't tell anyone she's here though. Go play with your friends." Hunith said. The boy ran off.
"See, Hunith. Now, give me what I want or I'll burn your crops and let the bandits raid you." Morgana said.
"What do you want?"
"Nothing but a girl to serve me."
"Never." Hunith glared at Morgana. Then she realized that this could be their salvation. "Wait, if I give you a girl will you stop the bandits and make our plants grow faster and better?"
"Deal." She closed her eyes and chanted something. "There, now give me a girl."
"There is one girl here. Who is unhappy. She wants to see the world. She is also has a darkness inside her. Her name is Ashlin. I'll send her out in the forest to pick herbs at night. Take her." Hunith said. Regretting every word. It was this or we all die. At least, this sacrifice would help them all.
"Thank you Hunith. You have been a huge help."
Ashlin woke up to find herself lying on a comfortable bed in a dark hovel. The last thing she remembered was someone attacking her and blacking out. She bolted upright. Where was she? What was going on?
"Good, you're awake." A female voice said from the doorway. She looked up at the women in black. She had long black hair and sea green eyes.
"Who are you?" Ashlin asked.
"You don't recognize me?" The women said and she walked into the light.
Ashlin gasped. "Morgana Pendragon! What am I doing here? What do you want from me? I thought you were dead! We heard you had betrayed Camelot-" She was silenced when Morgana slapped her across the face. Athlon showed no emotion. Interesting.
"Lies! Uther disowned me. If he ever had found out that I had magic, I'd be dead."
"But you tried to kill Arthur, Merlin, and Gwen!"
"How do you know about this?"
"Merlin stops by sometimes. You saved our village didn't you. That was when I was 11. I'm 13 now."
The girl talked a lot. Morgana thought. "That's very nice dear. I'm sorry for hitting you."
"That's okay. I've heard a lot of things about you. You were really nice and Merlin liked you a lot. You have magic right? I wish I had magic. Why am I here? Can I go back to Ealdor?" Ashlin asked.
"Do you want to go back?"
"Not really, I never belonged there and I'm an orphan. I don't know where I go though."
"You can stay here. I'll house you. I'll feed you. I'll try to teach you magic. I'll pay you. You just have to do one thing." Morgana said.
"What's that?"
"Help me bring down Arthur and Merlin and let me take over Camelot. I'll get rid of the ban on magic and make you my personal assistant."
"Merlin? I could never..."
"Ashlin, did Merlin ever mentioned that he poisoned me for no reason?"
"He did? I thought...I thought..."
"You thought Merlin was a good man. As did I." Morgana said, bitterly.
"Merlin was always really nice to me. With his magic, he used to move-"
"His what?"
"Magic. You didn't know..." Ashlin looked confused. "I thought he like you. I thought he told you."
"He never did. He could have helped me." Morgana whispered. "Ashlin, please help me bring down Arthur and Merlin. You've seen how they've hurt me. I was betrayed by the only person I could call me true friend. Merlin."
"I'm not sure. I need to think." Ashlin replied.
