Chapter 1
One cold Christmas night everyone was sleeping. There was a blizzard growing outside. Christmas being 2 weeks away. A man went into Merlin's room and took Morgana. Morgana screamed when she felt someone pick her up. Merlin jumped out of bed only to see the man use magic and disappear. Then Freya woke up.
"Merlin, what is it?" Freya asked sleepily as she got out of bed.
"A bandit with magic took our daughter, Freya. I saw him use magic and disappear. I heard our daughter cry as she got taken. In the morning I'm going to go out and find her alone. I don't want anyone to get hurt. I will find her. She isn't even 1 year old. There's a blizzard out there." Merlin cried angrily as he went to check on his sleeping son Will. Then he wrapped his arms around his wife and she did the same.
"I know Merlin. But how will you know where she is?"
"There's something I didn't tell you. I enchanted her anklet so I would always know where she was. I made her a necklace for Christmas that would protect her. I did the same to William. I enchanted the necklace I gave you on your birthday the year we met. I did it to protect you. Please try to understand that."
"Merlin, I do understand. I will get you some things tomorrow. Your father will want to go with you but he will understand. In 2 weeks it will be Christmas. I hope it will be a white Christmas. SO our kids can have the best first Christmas. She's only 10 months. Your siblings will get to have their second Christmas."
"I know. Arthur wants a Christmas service on Christmas eve."
"I'm excited. Gwen is so close to giving birth though. I hope she…."
"She will be there. You know Gwen. She may be pregnant but she will be there. When it comes to God she won't let anyone get in her way. I will be back before Christmas."
"I know you will. I think we should have our son sleep in our bed tonight."
"If you say so. I'll get some blankets. You want him between us?"
"Yes. We can put him between us on the bed and have blankets wrapped around him. So we won't hurt him as we sleep. Knowing you move a lot."
"It's called nightmares."
Merlin and Freya put their son Will between them. With Will's tiny little head on the edge of his parents pillow and blankets on him to keep him warm Everyone went back to sleep. Merlin and Freya barely slept for the next several hours till Merlin had to get up.
