Mergana one shot - Confrontation.
"Merlin ... I wish to speak to you" - Merlin looked towards the door, Arthur had left it and wasn't questioning him staying, seeing Morgana again was killing him ... he had loved her, more than anything, they'd been sneaking around for months at the point he found out she was against the kingdom, the same day he had poisoned her hurt more than any battle wound he'd suffered when in battle with Arthur, it had broken his heart.
Morgana looked up at Merlin, he looked so sad, why had he poisened her? She loved him and he had betrayed her, betraying Camelot was going to sting when Merlin was on the wrong side of the war, she wanted Merlin to be on her side, but he would never leave Arthur's side, no matter what their past held
"I know what you did ... you tried to poison me" Morgana reeled off trying to hold back the tears she was feeling remembering the betrayal of love.
"I ... I didn't want to" Merlin stuttered out, voice breaking as he spoke, this was hurting him so much, he still loved her, he couldn't let his guard down, not this time, he couldn't show he was still in love with her.
"Then why did you?" Morgana snapped out her eyes widening, she wanted to dive up and throw her arms around Merlin, hug him, kiss him, let him know she loved him, she couldn't ... she had been hurt before by him and wouldn't be again.
"I had to Morgana! You were the source of the sickness. The kingdom would have fallen"
"I loved you Merlin! You were my world! You betrayed me!"
Loved. Loved. Not Love. Those words stung like a knife for Merlin to hear and Morgana to say.
"Like you betrayed me, you went to morgause, you helped mordred ... you betrayed our love"
Morgana turned her head to the side, a small smile creeping across her face.
"Oh really Merlin? Hmm ... well, i can't wait to see what Uther says when i tell him you poisened me. You think what i did before was betrayal? Lets see what betrayal looks like from a pyre"
Morgana was all talk right now, she could never betray him, She'd die before she saw Merlin die.
Merlin's breathing had sped, he was panicking now ... she wouldn't, surely she wouldn't let him die, they had been in love one and had given themselves to one another in a way one only should when in love like they were.
"Morgana ... please, you can't" Merlin pleaded
Morgana stood and left the room, leaving Merlin with his own panic and fear.
