Authors note: Okay, so I have had this idea in my head for a few days, so I thought I'd write it down and see how it goes.
So, if you enjoy this, please review! You'd be surprised how much I enjoy reading all my reviews! It makes me think that people are enjoying my stories, and it makes me want to write more! What is the point of writing fan fictions when nobody reads them? Please review!

Morgana had brought destruction to Camelot, burning down the village and attacking the castle using her magic. The flames arose, burning down the whole village and screams from innocent people could be heard. Uther knew the cause of this… Morgana Le Fay.
There was a sudden storm that crept over Camelot, pouring down with rain and extinguishing the flames. Merlin was the cause of the storm, heading up the hill and towards Morgana.
Morgana's eyes were a deep gold as she stared ahead of her, straight at her worst enemy; Merlin. Her coal black hair stuck to her pale face as the water tricked down her cheek bones. She had a dark red dress on with black lacing, now sobbing wet and sticking to her perfect figure. She had a symbol on her upper arm, and one on her neck. All in all, she looked gorgeous.
No words were spoken as she outstretched her hand, sending the lightning from the sky down towards Merlin. It didn't affect him at all, and he started to stride towards her once on top of the hill. Morgana's eyes widened in disbelief, but she didn't give up, wouldn't give up.
She hissed and pushed her hand out, sending a gush of wind towards him, but he kept walking. Her mouth hung open slightly, as she attempted on last time to get rid of him, using fire from the palms of her hands.
It seemed like there was a protective shield around Merlin, as none of it affected him and stopped just before hitting him.
He walked until he was barely inches from her, glaring into her eyes as she glared back. She had to tilt her head up to look at him, her dark red lips parted slightly.
"I'm sorry…" he whispered, putting his hands on her cheeks as the magic surged through him to his fingertips, and then into her.
Morgana gasped quietly, her vision becoming a blur. She didn't know what was happening; she didn't even know this was possible. Her eyes shut slowly, and she fell lifelessly onto Merlin, her head falling onto his shoulder.
He wrapped his arms around her. She felt fragile in his grip, even though she was very powerful. Looking out over Camelot as the last of the fire perished under the rain he sighed gently to himself, holding Morgana close to him as she breathed gently on his neck.
This was his entire fault.

Morgana awoke the next day, her head spinning. She didn't open here eyes, she didn't have to, she could already sense she wasn't alone, and she was pretty sure she knew who was there, the last person she remembered; Merlin.
Merlin watched her contently, seeing her stir what caught his attention.
Morgana's eyes fluttered open, her green orbs adjusting to the light. Her eyes drifted around the space. They were in a large room with nothing in it, stone floor with hints of sand, and a small hole for a window, not big enough to fit through though.
She was lying on her back on the floor rather uncomfortably, over by the far wall. Her emerald green eyes drifted around, only to be met with ocean blue orbs.
She sat up abruptly, her head swirling as she glared at Merlin in anger. After a few moments, she couldn't even keep herself in a sitting position, and she fell back down on the floor.
She realised that her head was propped up with a folded brown jacket, only to familiar to her; Merlin's jacket.
It was then that the anger inside her seemed to fade slowly, and she became scared of her surroundings and who she was with. The fear overpowered the anger she had towards Merlin, but she could never truly hate him.
Merlin watched her all the while, his knees tucked up to his chest and his arms wrapped around his legs. He stay silent, like he was assessing her for a reaction.
"Its okay, Morgana, you are safe," he said soothingly, his expression soft as she turned her head to look at him, her midnight locks falling down her pale face.
Morgana's throat was dry, and her energy drained. She fought to keep her eyes open.
"Y-you… killed me," she whispered, her voice dry and her eyes pained. It wasn't the hate for him that was driving her to insanity; it was the hurt that someone so close to her that she trusted betrayed her.
Merlin looked down guiltily, shifting his feet on the ground as he pushed back into the wall more, before looking up to meet her gaze.
"Yes… I had to Morgana-"
"It is Morgan Le Fay" she said sharply, although her eyes revealed no harm in the name 'Morgana'.
Merlin frowned lightly as she cut him off, but continued all the same.
"I had to save Camelot and its people. You had to die, I needed to get rid of the curse or everyone in Camelot would die! Morgause planted the curse on you… and I had to…" His voice was at breaking point as he fought back the urge to cry, tell her it wasn't his fault and he still wanted to be her friend.
Morgana just nodded her head faintly, to tired to protest against anything now. She let out a shaky breath, swallowing hard.
"You… you were my friend… I trusted you with my life… and you-you betrayed me…" she croaked, before coughing gently.
The words hit Merlin more then they should have, and his eyes shimmered with unshed tears and he wanted to break down into sobs. Lucky enough, Morgana couldn't see his eyes as he had looked to the floor.
Merlin got up to his feet, brushing down his trousers and looking towards Morgana with a slight nod of his head.
"I'm… uh… just going to get you some water and preferably something to eat. I will be back soon, promise." With that, he was around a corner and out of sight.
Morgana watched, before turning and rolling on her other side so she was facing the wall, closing her eyes and exhaling deeply.
