He pulled the sword gently out of her. He looked deep into her eyes, trying not to cry. Merlin had just killed the girl he fell in love with. Morgana. She looked back at him with confusion and a bit of hate in her eyes. He felt a tear slide down his cheek and he sniffled.
"I blame myself sometimes for what you've become Morgana. I had chances and oppurinties to stop you from turning into this but I didn't. I'm sorry."
Morgana let out a dying breath. "No you aren't or else you wouldn't have killed me." Her head rolled back but Merlin caught it. He lay her gently on the ground and dropped the sword. "I'll never forgive you for this." Morgana said dryly and weakly like she was in desperate need of water. Merlin's tears were flowing down his cheek uncontrollably. He wiped them away and simply starred down at her.
"Goodbye Morgana." He said as her eyelids slowly shut. Morgana was dead.
"Merlin…" said Arthur.
Merlin ran over to Arthur ready to help him as he bend down to Arthur's level."Don't worry. Morgana is gone; I'll get you back to Gaius in time. You're not going to die on my hand."
"But I will in Morderd's…." replied Arthur weakly as he looked down at his wound.
"I will not lose another person. Now c'mon." said Merlin putting Arthur's arm around him but before Merlin could lift him and Arthur up. Arthur knocked them down and pulled away, his eyelids were starting to close and Merlin could sense that his dear friend only had a few short minutes left.
"No Merlin… there is no use in this anymore. Accept what is and move on please, just do me favor. Tell Gwen I love her."
Merlin was now sobbing like a little kid "No! You are going to tell her that you bloody idiot because this will not happen! You will not die."
"Merlin. Thank you for everything. Thank you for being my friend." Said Arthur whispering the last part weakly with a dying breath and then his eyelids closed. Merlin eyes widen and he started to shake Arthur. No! Not like this! He cannot die like this! thought Merlin, he shook Arthur harder now.
"Arthur! ARTHUR! ARTHUR! C'MON YOU BLOODY IGORANGT KING WAKE UP! DON'T DO THIS! ARTTHHURR!' screamed out Merlin to the skies and to his dead best friend. Merlin shook his tears away and started running. He began to chant the calling of the dragon, and after Merlin stopped running the large Dragon stood in front of him.
"What has happened young warlock? I presume not everything went as you planned." Said the Dragon
"Arthur is dead! And so is Morgana!" yelled out Merlin angrily at the Dragon.
"Please do not take out your angry towards me; I warned you all this would happen. You did not listen, you can only blame yourself."
"So that's it then? Arthur and Morgana is dead end of story?" said Merlin in denial.
"Why do you speak of the lady Morgana still when she has betrayed you and everybody you love? She's even killed most of them." asked the Dragon. Merlin stood quite, the reason he still spoke of Morgana is because he had fallen in love with her even if she had turned evil he knew that the old her was still there that some of her humanity was still in her heart. The Dragon sighed "You fell in love with her."
"It doesn't matter! She's dead. Which brings it back to my reason for your call, is there anything I or you could do to bring Arthur back and bring the old Morgana back too?"
"I'm afraid my dear young warlock that they have reached an end in their journey's and there is nothing that can bring them back."
"Please you must know of a way."
The Dragon hesitated and then spoke. "It comes with a price."
"I'll do anything it takes!"
"I was afraid of that. The thing I speak of is somewhat good and evil, you must know that once you agree to this you cannot go back Merlin."
"I understand."
"I cannot bring them back to life right now Merlin but in a different time and a different century I can."
"Alright doesn't sound bad. Why are you so scared of that?" asked Merlin.
"If you wish to join them, you must know that neither of you will have re-collection of each other in your memories and that possibly that everything you once knew about each other could be gone in a heart beat. The evil part is that sometimes their memories do come back and if they were evil once perhaps they will be evil again." Said the Dragon with a warning voice as he spoke, Merlin knew what he meant on that last part if Morgana remembered who she was before and she decided to go back to who she was she could destroy the world but most importantly kill Arthur and himself plus possibly billions of people. Man, Merlin needed to start liking better girls but if that's what he had to do to be with his friends again that's what shall be done. He bite his bottom lip as he gave it more thought, he looked up at the dragon and nodded.
"Alright. I'll do it."
"Very well young warlock. Remember my warning now and good luck." He said to Merlin before he made him black out.
"Merlin! Wake up!"Yelled Merlin's friend Lance through the closed door. Merlin woke up only to soon realize that he had fallen asleep on the couch.
"Oh shit…" said Merlin as he straightened up only to have chips fall on his lap. "Looks like I fell asleep eating again." Merlin stood up from the couch and shook the chips off him. A yawn came out as he opened the door. "Lancelot! Hey man." He said inviting his friend. Lancelot entered and looked around. His friend's place was a mess well the living room part was a mess various types of foods where on the floor and movie boxes were scattered all over it as well.
"You know what I love about your place? Is that it's always clean!" said Lancelot sarcastically.
"Hahaha very funny." Merlin said pretending to laugh as he gave his friend a little push as he headed into the kitchen to get a trash bag out of one of the cabinets.
"So how was it last night?"said Lancelot sitting down on the couch.
"What'd you mean? How was what? "
"You know the Mayor's party?"
"Oh it was actually quite boring. His son didn't even show." said Merlin starting to pick up the bag of chips on the floor.
"What Arthur wasn't there? Damn it! I wanted to see if he would do something stupid like he did in Washington."
"Are they still talking about?"
"Hey what that kid did was pretty stupid." Said Lancelot letting out a laugh.
"He's not a kid he's our age."
"Is that so, huh?" said Lancelot folding his arms and putting a look on his face that showed that he was only pretending to care. "Well don't you know a lot about them!"
"I'm suppose to know this stuff remember?"
Lancelot rolled his eyes and stood up and crushing chips in the process. "Oh yes I forgot, your applying to be their servant."
"Worker."Merlin corrected.
"Sounds more like servant to me Merlin." He then went into the kitchen. "I don't understand, why do you want to be servant for grumpy old Mayor Uther when you are capable of being something more."
"Because it's my decision." Said Merlin tying up the garbage bag and then setting it down on the floor, he went over to the bar that he had and sat in one of the stools next to Lancelot.
"Alright then, I still think it's crappy though."
"Whatever."
"Do you know what Arthur looks like?" whispered Lancelot.
"You are talking about Arthur all the time like he is some kind of punk/hero and you don't know what the guy looks like?" asked Merlin.
"You don't know either do you?"
"Not a clue. They don't let us near any of the Mayor's stuff unless we are workers."
"Servants." Coughed out Lancelot, Merlin was about to say something until his phone rang. He raised up a finger at Lancelot to be patient and quite because the Mayor was calling.
"Hello?"
"Merlin! It's Uther."
"Yes sir I saw the caller ID."
"Are you being smart?"
"No sir." Merlin said about to panic.
"Alright. I was wondering if you could go to the 'Yellow creek Camelot Deli' and pick up a ham for tonight's masquerade ball."
"There's a ball tonight?"
"Oh yes my son comes back tonight so I thought why not another party? Don't worry you're invited. Now back to the ham once you get their tell me you are there to pick up number 45 okay?"
"Of course sir but shouldn't you get an official serva—I mean worker to do that for you?'
"No I have you and I know you are free so pick it up. Thank you and see you tonight." Said Uther quickly and then he hung up.
Merlin sort of starred at his phone speechless and then he looked at Lancelot.
"What?"
"I gotta go, the mayor needs my help with something. Who knows? Maybe if I do this right I can get that job! Lock up when you leave okay?" said Merlin putting down one of his extra keys.
"Alright. Good luck!"
"Thank you!" Merlin said rushing out.
The skies thundered and Merlin just hoped it wouldn't start raining. He had forgotten his umbrella at his loft because he thought it wouldn't be necessary because it hardly ever rains in Camelot. He squinted his eyes as he looked up to the sky. Nothing. It was still grey which means he still had time. He started to walk to the nearest bus station but he stopped himself as he saw a boy who looked at least 2 years younger than him getting beat up by a tall blonde and 2 of his friends.
"Thinking about going over there and breaking up the fight?" said a voice behind him. Merlin turned only to see a guy that looked about a 3 years older than him with a prickly beard and shoulder length hair.
"That's none of your business sir."
"Oh god don't call me that! Call me Gwaine okay?" said Gwaine. "Now answer my question, thinking about breaking up the fight?"
"Well if I don't who will? I don't see you exactly doing anything."
"Cause I'm smart and don't wanna get my ass kicked donkey ears."
Merlin let out a laugh. "I'm Merlin."
"You already know my name so don't worry about my huge introduction and hand over the ham. I'll take care of it while you help that kid out." Gwaine said extending out a hand ready to take the ham. Merlin heisted could he really trust somebody he just met? But he didn't have a choice. He gave it to Gwaine and rushed over to the kid's aid. He pulled the blonde off him and punched him in the face. Merlin held his hand and grunted his pain, he never knew that punching somebody could hurt your hand that bad but he look down at the blonde who was trying to re-cover from what just happened.
"Pick on somebody your own size."Merlin said. The blonde stood up and darted his blue eyes at Merlin.
"You are about my height. Boys leave him and let's take on this one." Said the blonde with the smirk.
"Uh…"said Merlin but it was too late one of them already punched him. Merlin fell to the ground and looked back at Gwaine. "What do I do?"
"I don't know but get yourself out of it little man!" said Gwaine with a smirk observing this.
Merlin looked up at the blonde and his pals. "Who the hell you think you are? The mayor of this town?" said Merlin to the blonde. The blonde crouched to his level and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and raised a fist.
"No. I'm his son, Arthur." And with that he punched Merlin out.
Merlin woke up and looked around, he was back in his loft. He sighed as he remembered what happened. Wait a minute? Where was the ham? What happened after Arthur punched him?
"Hey you're awake! Welcome back." Said Gwaine appearing out of nowhere with a cold steak in his hand. He handed it over to Merlin, who put it close to his left eye.
"How'd you get in?"
"What? No thank you for bringing me back here and not leaving me out on the sidewalk? People of this century really need to be more proper like back than." Said Gwaine.
"Thank you for that. Now where's the ham? And how'd you get in?" asked Merlin.
"This guy Lancelot was leaving and I came in just in time to go inside your loft. And your precious ham is in the fridge relax."
"What time is it?"
"8:14."
Merlin bolted right up and dropped the steak. "Shit! That stupid son of a bitch made me late!"
"For a very important date?" said Gwaine with a smirk while quoting the Alice In Wonderland rabbit.
"This isn't funny!" said Merlin looking for the ham. He took it out once he found it. "And yes it's sort of a date kind of thing. I'm invited to the king's masquerade ball."
"Wow and you have the nerve to punch his son?"said Gwaine raising an eyebrow. "You got balls kid." Gwaine said putting his feet up.
"Look don't let anybody in okay? Unless they go by the name of Lancelot."
"Got it, but hey kid!" yelled Gwaine before Merlin went out the door. Merlin turned before he opened the door. "You should change." Merlin looked down at his clothes, started walking back, put the ham down and said.
"Yeah you're probably right."
