Read and Review please, I own nothing, the BBC does, this is just for fun, thanks to Merlin Tv Show for the real lines from the show

This is based on The Curse of Cornelius Sigan - Merlin season 2 episode 1 so if you have not saw it yet, this won't make sense in a way.

The raven man looked up at the young sorcerer, here he was, powerful and young, with so much to lean and he was acting as this prince's manservant

"He does not deserve your loyalty. He treats you like a slave".

Merlin shook his head "That's not true"

Sigan looked at the boy, he knew he boy was lieing. "He casts you aside without a moments thought..."

Merlin thought back to Arthur putting him in jail, his insides tightened, even this sorcerer knew it "That doesn't matter" it was half true, they always forgot about their little fights but it still hurt Merlin.

Sigan heard the blank, low voice from Merlin "But it must hurt, so much, to be so put upon, so overlooked, when all the while you have such power" he knew what the boy was thinking, just by watching him, the way his eyes screamed with the truth.

Merlin wanted Arthur to see him for what he really was, so badly, but he knew, if his magic came out he would be killed "That's the way it has to be"

A look pasted Sigan's face, he moved near to Merlin "Does it? You are young, Merlin. Look inside yourself, you have yet to discover you true power. I can help you. Think, Merlin, to have the world appreciate your greatness. To have Arthur know you for what you are". This boy was easy to bend to his will, he seen the look in Merlin's eyes, hope but then it went out as Merlin answered him "That can never be"

Sigan pushed him more he wanted this powerful warlock on his side.

"It can. If you join me. Together we can rule over this land. Arthur will tremble at your voice. He will kneel at your feet"

Merlin felt anger at these words, he did not want his friend kneeling at his feet, Merlin shuck his head "Better to serve a good man than rule with an evil one". This was true, no matter how bad Arthur had treated him, how many times he had put Merlin in jail, the stocks, threatened to run him through, Arthur was a good man and a friend.

"You'd rather be a servant" Sigan could not believe it, why was this warlock wanting to be a slave when he could be a powerful force with me , if the foolish boy would not see things the right way, I will make him. "So be it. If you will not join me, then I will become you, and your power will be harnessed to my will"!

Merlin watched as Cedric's body jerked and fell to the floor. He lay there, not moving. Merlin felt nothing, he waited, nothing happened.

Merlin ran back to Arthur, he was laying face down on the cold floor, Merlin turned him, he had a wound under his right eye, Gaius will heal that and he'll be fine. Merlin hoped.

A blue mist was moving closer to Merlin behind his back, Merlin had not seen it. It grow closer and started to creep up his back

"Arthur" Merlin shuck him, Arthur gave a low groan, he was still alive. Merlin looked around the court yard, all the monsters had vanished.

He became aware of a cold draft near his neck, he looked down. There moving up to his nose was a thin blue mist. It crept into his nose, Merlin grabbed it, trying to stop it, it hurt.

His vision clouded over, his head grew heavily.

"Merlin" Came an old man's voice

"Gaius" Merlin managed to shout, the last bit of blue inside him. He felt himself fall to the floor, his body twitching out of his control. He felt anger, hate and pain...

Then nothing.

"Merlin, where are you?" Gaius shouted through the mist. Merlin had just called him, he walked past dead bodys and stopped. Merlin has laying on top of Arthur, his eyes closed, blood running down his nose.

'typical Merlin, always in the wars' Gaius though to himself. He bend down to feel the boys pulse, his heart must be beating so fast, his pulse was racing.

A few guards had come out with him, Gaius waved them over. "Can you take Arthur to his chambers, I will be with him soon" the guards held Arthur, how was now slowly coming around, by the arms and lifted him, Gaius bent down and looked Merlin over quickly, for more wounds, the boy was fine apart from his nose. Gaius held him up by his arms and slowly carried him up to their chambers.

Here Gaius laid Merlin on a table and lifted an eye lid, The blue had gone, in it's place was pure black, Gaius blinked in shock, and the eyes were blue again. Gaius stared. did he imagine that?

Merlin's pulse had slowed down, back to normal. Gaius cleaned his nose and watched his chest rise and fall, the boy was breathing well. Gaius went over to the cupboard in the corner and got out a few blankets to keep the boy warm. He needed to go and see if Prince Arthur was well. looking back at Merlin, Gaius walked out the door. Merlin was going to be alright, he just needed to wake up.

When the door closed Merlin's eyes snapped open. A raven screeched in the night. The eyes black with hatred.

Cornelius Sigan could feel the power of this boy's magic, it was so very strong, it filled his body. He was in control of Merlin now. He sat up,sat up in a way that was far to creepy, he shot up without moving his arm.

it was now his time to show Uther and Arthur Pendragon who bowed to who.
