The rocks fell so fast and Merlin barely managed to hide into a cave. God, that was close, he thought. But then again I could have used magic to stop the rocks from falling. But then again, flying rocks would be a hard thing to explain to Arthur and his knights. Would I really die to keep my secret safe?I have to see this through in some point, I guess. I mean I am certain that I would reveal my secret to save Arthur, but when it's about me…A different case. I guess that's because I am afraid that if Arthur find out that I've got magic –especially that his father's death is so fresh- he's going to kill me before I can explain who I am.
"So long Merlin." A voice brought Merlin back to reality. He flinched as he recognised who that voice belonged to.
"Morgana." Merlin whispered, without bothering turning around.
"I am guessing you are so proud, that now your precious Arthur is king. He brought a big war to Camelot, I heard." She smirked.
Merlin turned around, and gave her a mocking smirk. "Which war has nothing to do with you, I suppose."
"How could I possibly start a war Merlin? But I think the real question is how you manage to stop me every single time." She said in a low study voice.
"What can I say? I am really skilful." Merlin replied tiredly. The last thing he needed at that moment was Morgana.
"I can see that. It took me a long time to realise that, but…" she stopped talking, just to cast a spell and through Merlin to the ground. "You really are a thorn in my side, aren't you Merlin?"
Merlin realized the danger he was in. She could just kill him. If he used his magic now and didn't work, then she would know and that was….
"Just kill me to get it over with" he muttered.
"Kill you? I am not gonna kill you. I am not gonna kill my best piece in the game Merlin." Morgana said smirking.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means that you are going to kill Arthur, of course. What else?"
"Right."
"You don't believe me? Well, you will. After a little…trick." She said, getting closer to Merlin as he was crawling back to avoid her.
She's going to enchant me. Oh, God, what do I do with that? How can I avoid…? God, please, no. I don't want to kill him.
"Don't worry my dear, you won't care after what I am going to do to you." The witch said and casted her enchanting spell.
When, Merlin woke up, he felt…different. His head was hurt, and he was dizzy, but he wasn't scared or sad. Why would he be?
He looked around. He was still in the cave, with Morgana. She was sitting beside him now, playing with a feather, or whatever that was.
"What did you do?" he asked, stroking his head.
"I took away all of your emotions. I think you'll fulfil your mission better that way." Morgana replied smirking.
