Estelle

Hello, hope you are having a good day.

Estelle never knew who her father was. She did know that she didn't look like her mother. She did know that her mother was killed by a man named Merlin. She vowed to destroy Merlin. When she was 15, she went to the lake of Avalon were this Merlin lived. She had so much hate. She knocked on the door to Merlin's house. Merlin opened. She held her hand out to stop him.

"Who are you?" Merlin asked. He saw how angry Estelle was. He realized that she looked a lot like him.

"My name is Estelle. You killed my mother." Estelle angrily said.

"Who is your mother?"

"Morgana Pendragon."

Merlin gasped. He was shocked.

"What are you gasping about?" Estelle questioned.

"That was ten years ago. I never knew that she had a daughter." Merlin replied.

"Now I'm going to kill you for the pain you've caused me."

Estelle was about to utter a spell but she couldn't. Like she felt a magical connection to Merlin.

"Go ahead. Kill me. I don't care but if you truly love your mother then don't turn into her. This won't bring her back. I loved your mother. When I killed her, I died. I'm sorry." Merlin yelled. "You were five. She loved you but not enough to change. She cared more about revenge than you."

"You know nothing about my mother." Estelle shouted as she cried. Part of her knew that Merlin was right. Merlin must have sensed it because he kept going.

"I knew enough about your mother to know that she didn't love her own family! She used an 18 year old boy to try and kill me. She killed her own family. She didn't talk to them or think about all they had done for her, she just killed them without a moments thought. Is that love?"

Merlin saw how confused and hurt Estelle looked.

"What about your father?" Merlin wondered calmly.

"I never knew him. My mother told me that I didn't deserve to know my father and that he didn't deserve me." Estelle replied.

"You deserved to know who your father was. Estelle-that means star doesn't it?"

"Yeah. She was looking at the stars when she realized she was pregnant."

"It's very beautiful."

Estelle nodded. Then Merlin tried to approach her. Estelle held her up to stop him. Merlin stopped.

"If you are like your father then you won't be able to kill." Merlin said. Merlin casted a spell in his head. He realized that Estelle was his daughter. He sighed. "I know who your father is."

"Who is he? How do you know?" Estelle asked.

"I'm your father. My magic could sense yours. You have the power of a high priestess and a dragon lord. I'm the only dragon lord alive."

Merlin saw the anger and hate towards him in her face. He felt his heart break at the sight of her being broken.

"I hate you." Estelle screamed.

"I know. I love you." Merlin replied.

Merlin looked at Estelle. Estelle was about to utter a spell to kill Merlin but she couldn't. She collapsed to the ground. She could feel all her emotions try to come out. Merlin went to her and hugged her.

"Let it out. Let that anger out." Merlin whispered. Estelle did. She hit Merlin and punched him as she cried angrily. Merlin let her. He groaned slightly as Estelle hit him. Eventually Estelle stopped. Merlin held her till she fell asleep. He pick her up and carried her inside. He put her on the bed in his guest room. Then he went to make dinner. As he was making dinner, he heard a crash. He went to Estelle's room and saw her having a nightmare. He went to her and tried to calm her down.

"Estelle, it's ok. Everything's ok." Merlin said as he grabbed Estelle's hands. Then Estelle screamed. Merlin used his magic and calmed her down. He shushed her as she started to finally calm down. Estelle woke up and saw Merlin.

"Let go of me." Estelle ordered. Merlin did.

"How long have you been having these nightmares?" Merlin asked.

"None of your business."

"Well, in a way it is. You are my daughter."

"I have no father."

"If you say so. But I'm here for you if you want me. Even if you don't, I'll be here for you. I love you."

"You're lying. You hate me. My mother said that you knew about me and you hated me!"

"I never knew. I don't even know how she ended up being pregnant with my child. She never said. If she had, I would have been happy. I'm happy now. I'm so happy that I have a beautiful daughter. I've never been happier. In the past ten years of my life, I have suffered. You're the best thing that ever happened to me."

"No, I'm not."

Then Estelle got up and ran out of the house.

"Estelle." Merlin said. Estelle didn't hear him. Estelle ran into the woods. Eventually, she stopped running. She thought about what Merlin and Morgana had said to her.

"Mother, who's my father? What's her like?" Little Estelle asked.

"You don't need to know. He hates you. You two don't deserve to know each other." Morgana answered. It was a week before Morgana died. Estelle sighed. "You should be grateful for what you have. Mordred loves you."

"I know and I am but I wonder if he's like my real father."

"Don't. It'll get you no where."

"Mother, do you love me?"

Morgana looked at Estelle. Estelle saw the hesitation in Morgana's eyes.

"Yes, I do love you." Morgana lied.
