Author's Note: So before I update with the sequel, I feel like there are parts of the oneshot that need to be elaborated on! So I'll be posting snippets of extras before the sequel!~
"Edward, you're not telling me something."
Bella was walking fast now, trying to keep up with Edward.
"Drop it, please." He said, but it sounded more like an order.
Instead she ran ahead and stopped directly in front of him. Edward darted around her. "Edward Cullen! Tell me what happened to make you so afraid of Merlin!"
"I am not afraid of him!" Edward exclaimed, turning around sharply. "It's not my prerogative to say."
"Since when do you care if it's your prerogative?" Bella asked.
Edward just grumbled. "Can't you leave it alone?"
He walked briskly past a classroom door in a huff, taking only a moment to glance at the man in the doorway – the man with golden eyes.
Bella continued after him but chanced to follow her boyfriend's gaze, only to see Merlin narrow his eyes before sliding out of the doorway and pushing the door ajar.
He'd just been about to sit in his chair when door suddenly slammed. Merlin turned around to find an irate Bella standing in front of him, her arms crossed.
"What did you do to him?" She demanded.
Merlin sighed. "Bella…"
"What did you do to him?"
"Listen Bella, you have to trust me…"
She turned around and began to pace. "You sound like Edward."
Merlin frowned at the sour taste that appeared in his mouth with that comment. "Fine. He crossed a line. That's all I'm saying."
"That's more than Edward's saying, but it's still not enough."
"I asked him not to mention it." Merlin said cautiously.
"You mean you frightened him into not telling." She said angrily. "The way I figure it, you either threatened to hurt me or you're more powerful than Edward, and can somehow hide what you are."
The wizard's features displayed shock. "I wouldn't use you as leverage against Edward." He said.
Merlin leaned comfortably against the desk, folding his arms playfully as he fought back a grin. "But what do you think I'm hiding?" He asked, an amused glint in his eyes. "What do you think I am?"
"A vampire?" She asked.
He laughed. "I'm Merlin." He said with a smile, letting his eyes go gold ambiguously.
She stormed out.
