I don't own Merlin or any characters, or

You recommend playing Lacrimosa (Black Butler's second ending) while you read this. I hope you enjoy!

It is the day that Mordred is locked up. It is the day that Kara dies. It is the day Merlin does something Mordred will never forget.

As Kara is taken to be hung, Mordred begs them to stop. Naturally they continue their orders, and took Kara away.

A few minutes later Merlin enters the dungeon, and he says to the guards "I am here to visit a prisoner. If you care for anything, you will allow me to comfort him. I wish to speak to him alone, and not have bars separating us. Do Not Disturb Us No Matter What You Hear."

The guards are confused at first, but they finally nod. One unlocks the door and Merlin walks into the cell. Mordred looks up, and the guard walks away.

"What do you want now Emrys? Haven't you done enough?" his voice filled with anger.

Merlin responded "Mordred-"

"No! All this time you've treated me with hatred and distrust! You treat me as an outcast then you commend the women I love to death! What more could you want?" His voice having been violent and loud, but is now no more than a broken whisper.

Merlin steps forward and takes Mordred's face in his hands and, with a sad smile, says "It could always be worse. Such as with me, I lost my father after I just met him, the woman I fell in love with was killed by Arthur. I have had so many people betray me, and I can't let that happen to you. You thought that I didn't care about you, didn't you?"

Mordred simply nods and asks "Why didn't you show it?"

"Destiny wouldn't allow it… It still doesn't. I have always been told that you would kill Arthur."

They both stayed in silence, and then Merlin spoke:

"But that doesn't matter because I came here for another reason…" Merlin then kisses Mordred's forehead, and then Mordred bursts out crying. It is like this for a minute, and then Merlin begins to sing a song, Lacrimosa. Mordred says"Thank you..." Soon Mordred falls asleep with his head in Merlin's lap, tears streaming down his face.

As warning bells ring, Merlin smiles. For he knows Kara has escaped.


So? Please review, and if you want to know how Kara escaped then just tell me. I'd be glad to add another chapter.
