Hey there you guys, long time no see, huh?

Anyway, I hope you like my new story; I'm simply addicted to Merlin series and I can't get it out of my system, so I decided to write a story based on that.

PLEASE, I'm begging you, review. I truly need to know if it is at least readable.

Thank you.

It was a rather warm morning and Merlin was at Gaius' room reading what his old friend had asked him to, for he had to learn a subject, anysubject, that was not involved with magic, since magic shouldn't be used always, or as Gaius says himself, at all. He was also wondering how calm it all have been since that lady Sophia had arrived, and it had happened almost a month ago. Everything was back to normal ever since; calm and rather boring too.

It was mid-afternoon and Merlin was thinking of visiting one of his best friends of the Kingdom, Guinevere, when something rather unexpected happened; the threat signal was set.

"I knew it was too quiet..."

He was about to exit his chamber when he was surprised by an unbelievable event.

The third window of the left was broken to pieces; Merlin had to duck in order to avoid the million pieces flying around the office.

He didn't know what had caused it exactly, but when he glanced down at the floor, a few passes in front of said window, he noticed a girl lying there, unconscious.

She was a sight to behold; she had long golden hair, – which was all over the floor - a rather pale face, but without a doubt, the most beautiful one; unfortunately it was scratched and bloody. All her features were harmonious, though. Her nose was perfectly upright, and her red lips desirous. He shook the sudden new thoughts to him away, and it was when he finally realised there was something wrong with the girl, and it was most certainly not the fact that she had, somehow, broken into Gaius' office through the window. It was more likely to be the way she had done so.

Merlin couldn't believe his eyes, and so, in order to prove to himself he was not going mad, he stepped closer to the unconscious body.

"It can't be true..." He whispered perplexed, "I thought they were only mythical creatures, or extinct perhaps."

Growing away from her body, wings as black as the night itself were trampled together. He cringed when he saw how awkward they looked and how much pain it must had inflicted on that divine creature.

He blinked and suddenly the wings were no longer there; they were gone, just like that. Merlin rubbed his eyes in order to be sure of such impressive display of magic. The wounds and bruises on her body had healed too, and the boy could not move nor speak, he was paralyzed.

The girl started to stir on the floor and groan also. He made to help her when he regained his senses, but she opened her eyes and they froze Merlin on his place; they were the most crystal blue he had ever witnessed before. They were deep and intense at the same time. Merlin's heart started to beat faster.

She stood up amazingly fast and faced him with an expression of both confusion and fright.

"Who are you?" She asked, and her voice sounded musical to his ears. "Where am I?"

Merlin frowned. "You mean you don't know what just happened?" She didn't look the least bit as if she did.

She only shook her head. "Should I?"

Merlin was mystified, "I'm afraid so! What is your name?"

At this question she frowned herself, "I...I..." She stuttered for a moment. "I think it's Melanie..." She looked bewildered.

Had she really forgotten who she is? Or what happened for her to break through that window all spoilt and wounded? Merlin couldn't believe it. Does she know what she is, at the very least? He questioned himself in thought.

"I'm Merlin," He told her and walked to her. "Here, let me help you," He offered his hand and she took it, her skin abnormally warm and soft. "First and foremost, I believe Gaius, this Kingdom's physician, should examine you. Do you think you can stay here and wait until I get him? He mustn't be too far away, probably in the kitchens."

She looked up at him and his heart pulled a heartstring; he was certain she was the most splendid creature he's ever had the pleasure of meeting. "Alright,"

"Good. Just one last question before I go seek Gaius. Do you know what you are?" He asked her, cautiously.

"What I am?" She repeated his question, "A human being, what else!" She sounded outraged by his question.

"Very well, that's all I needed to know. Wait here, I'm sure it won't take long."

And with that he left the chamber in search of the physician.
