A/N; So, recently, my friend got me interested in the Merlin series, and typical of me, I got hooked,absorbed and obsessed. After seeing season 2 I felt compelled to write something in dedication to my fave character of the series, and as it happens I found an awful lot of Within Temptation songs suit different Merlin characters at different points. So i tried my hand at combining them.

Warning; Contains spoilers for season 2

Breathe.

My body is screaming as I try to grasp the breath I just can't seem to catch.

Breathe.

Each gasp is becoming more painful, more agonising than the last.

Breathe.

My mind can't comprehend anything; it's all happening too fast. Everything is blurred as I try desperately to make sense of what is going on, but as I feel myself weakening; my grasp of reality seems to slip also. Then it falls, as the night does upon each day.

I'm dying.

Merlin.

He's trying to hold me. Trying to calm me. Yet I fight against him with the last strength I possess in my deadened limbs.

It's not working.

I can feel him clutch tighter as my grip loosens. Why is he doing this? Why is he confusing me in this way? He wants death to claim me yet he wants to console me as it does so? Why won't you understand Merlin? It's too late now for your empty consolation. You weren't there when I needed you the most. You opened the door into my soul, but then you let it close so willingly. I lost all your trust...but don't you see how I tried to turn it all around?

But you didn't save me from my fear did you...

I can barely feel it now. Everything has become numb to any sensation, just as my mind is slowly coming apart.

I wonder, if I could only ask you now, could you answer?

Could you still see the heart of me if you tried?

If only you tried.

The agony is slowly fading now as I relinquish into your embrace. No more words need to be said anymore. The silence is enough satisfaction for us. I don't need you to tear me down in my last moments. What's left of me gives up on pleading, begging for life.

Why don't I ever learn?

If only you could give me one last thing to believe, if only you could make me believe that you made my heart a better place after all.

That's all I need.

I've tried many times but nothing was real.

I'm only one step away.

One breath away.

But that last breath is all that is left. Of me, the girl, the woman, the sorceress...

The last breath of Morgana Le Fay
