A/N: So I was watching Lady of the Lake for probably the twentieth time, and this idea came to me. It's poetry, but not the kind that rhymes, since I suck at that. :p
Oh, and this is the key: Merlin Freya
Please review!
When I saw you trapped in that cage,
I knew I needed to free you.
Against logic and reason I saved you,
But at what cost?
I admit I was scared when you used magic
The memories of old returning
But when you took my hand and hid me away,
I knew you wouldn't hurt me.
I gave you my sweater, you looked so cold.
You flinched away, the result of your mistreatment.
"I'm Merlin," I said, wanting to gain your trust.
"I'm Freya." I don't think I've heard a more beautiful name.
You returned the next day, bringing candles and food.
"I'm cursed," I said, but you didn't understand.
You thought I had magic.
You showed me how beautiful magic can be instead of how it can destroy lives.
When I saw you crying, I reassured you I wasn't leaving.
I told you of my Ealdor, and you of your Lake.
You were all alone in this world.
"Not anymore. I'm going to look after you."
"Blostma." With a flash of gold, a rose appeared in your hands.
"Why are you so good to me?" I held the flower, looking at the petals.
"Becauseā¦I like you." Your eyes were filled with honesty.
If only I could give you what you deserved.
You were terrified of being caught,
Haunted by the thought of chains.
"I promised I would look after you."
I would never let anyone hurt you again.
"You're not scared of me?"
You shook your head, and although you didn't know the truth,
I knew you loved me.
Tears rolling down our cheeks, we shared our first kiss.
I had to get you out of Camelot.
We would go somewhere far away, where we could start anew.
Somewhere like my Ealdor.
Somewhere like your Lake.
You were willing to give up your life in Camelot for me.
I knew this had to stop.
We could never be together, so I lied.
With one last kiss, and an unheard goodbye, I left.
I didn't care if you were cursed, I loved you.
I had to protect you from Uther.
All that remained was the dress and the rose, however.
You were gone.
The patrol spotted me.
I ran, but found myself trapped.
For once I was glad I was cursed.
It was the only way to escape the chains.
The knights were closing in on you.
You looked at me imploringly.
I muttered a spell, and the statue broke.
I followed you as you made your escape through the air.
Pain was all I could feel.
You covered me with your sweater as I confessed my secret.
"The wound's too deep."
I was dying.
I put Morgana's dress on you and carried you to the lake.
"You remembered." Your voice was so weak.
How I wished magic hadn't done this to you.
Magic can be used for good.
You wanted to save me, but you already did.
"You made me feel loved." What more could I have asked for?
Your eyes were filled with tears as I closed mine for the last time.
Your warm embrace was the last thing I felt.
Saying goodbye to you was so hard.
My heart was breaking as the fire engulfed you.
My beautiful Freya.
My heart will forever remain with you.
I'm watching over you, Merlin.
I will repay you for your generosity.
I'll never truly be gone.
A part of me will always remain with you.
A/N:Loved it? Hated it? Let me know!
-Rumor has it that Freya will be back in season 3! YAY!
*ahem* Sorry about that. My inner fangirl is now safely locked away once more. :)
