Chapter Two

The time has come for reuniting with the others who managed to escape. With the help of Bella they found the remaining knights easily. Only Gwaine, Leon and Gwen got out of the castle. As soon as Arthur saw his beloved, he ran to her, asking questions of her well-being.

"This is Bella." Merlin introduced her to the others. "She saved Arthur."

"Well, well, well… Arthur saved by a woman." Gwaine said and kissed her hand. "Pleasure meeting you, Milady."

"Pleasure meeting you too, Sir Gwaine." She smiled at him. "And you too Sir Leon and of course the lovely Gwen."

"How did you know that he's Gwaine and I'm Leon?" he asked, suspicious of her.

"Please… do not be afraid, but I can do magic, I can see the past, present and future if I want" she said and as it was expected the two men drew their swords. "Oh come one! If I wanted to, you all would be dead by now; but instead I saved your king and your friend. And I will keep saving you all, till Arthur will be back on his rightful place." She said with such conviction that the others lowered their weapons.

"You're all right with this?" Gwaine asked Arthur a bit shocked.

"I still don't trust her, but without her help Merlin and I would be dead."

That night everyone slept with one eye opened, fearful of their many enemies. One of the knights, Leon, was keeping watch, but then suddenly, in the middle of the night, Bella woke up gasping for breath. Leon looked at her and asked if she was all right.

"Something's wrong." She whispered and poured water in a bowl. She uttered words Leon could not understand, but he could see the water glowing softly. "Oh no…"

"What is it?" Arthur woke up.

"Quickly! Pack up everything. They're coming." She whispered loudly.

"Morgana?" Gwaine asked as they packed everything.

"Not her. Her army. About a 100 men." They ran as quickly as they could, but soon they heard the men on horses closing in on them. "Go ahead. I'll stop some of them." Bella said and turned towards the army, raising her hands in front of her, beginning to chant.

'Ic níed geweald, gamol léof. Nemne us néan níðhete. Ic laðian ǽgðer the æðelu and gód gást ac lof.'

"What is she doing?" Arthur shouted only to see about fifty men wrapped in vines, coming from the ground; half of the small army choked, dropping to the ground. She turned around as soon as she finished her spell, her eyes still glowing bright golden.

"Come on!"She yelled and they were once more running. Every last one of them knew that they could not outrun the remaining men behind them. As soon as they reached higher ground Bella began shouting spell after spell. Trees fell, catching fire, blocking the way so the enemy could not get to them. Many men died, and the others who survived ran in the opposite direction. Nobody from their small group said anything else about what they saw. They were both afraid and thankful that she was on their side. Now Arthur was saved twice by this mysterious girl. Merlin didn't even know what to think anymore. He had thought that only he had the power to do this powerful magic; he began doubting himself. Was he the greatest sorcerer ever to be known?

'Emrys. You don't have to doubt your abilities. You are the greatest sorcerer and I am the greatest sorceress. Do not doubt yourself Merlin. You will make a difference.' She said in his mind and smiled at him. And this time he smiled back.
