Sadly I don't own Merlin. It belongs to the BBC.
I don't know how many chapters this will have.
This story is based on the idea from 'merlin fanfic lover' and this story is dedicated to them :)
Thank you for the reviews, story alerts and favorite stories :D I love you all :D
Message to 'merlin fanfic lover' Thank you for your review and thank you for asking me to write it. Is it what you expected?
The only people who know of Merlin's magic is Morgana, Gwen, Gaius and Arthur. Read A/N at the bottom.
Enjoy :D
One month earlier.
Merlin was just about to go to bed when Gaius stopped him. "Merlin."
"Yes Gaius?"
"Morgana's medicine is still here and Gwen's probably gone home. Can you take it up and put it on her bedside stand if she is already asleep please." Merlin sighed and took the remedy from Gaius. "Not be long." he said and left the quarters.
Merlin walked through the castle, noticing how quiet it was, everyone asleep in bed which is where he wishes he was right now. He got to Morgana's chambers and let out a big yawn before knocking. When he got no response, he slowly opened the door and crept inside as he saw Morgana asleep in bed. He walked over to her and saw her sleeping peacefully, hair spread across the pillows. Merlin placed the remedy on the stand next to her bed and moved the covers up further so she was more covered up and turned to leave.
He was at the door when he heard someone whimpering. He turned around and saw Morgana fidgeting in bed, he walked back over to her as she started to toss and turn, her eye lids flickering. Merlin sat on the edge of her bed and put his hand on her shoulder, trying to wake her when she started to cry in her sleep. "My lady? Wake up. My lady?" Morgana continued to toss and turn. "Morgana!" Merlin all but yelled. Morgana woke with a start and looked straight at Merlin.
"Merlin? What are you doing here?"
"I came to drop your remedy off. I was just leaving when I heard you. You really do suffer with your dreams don't you."
"I always have done. This one was bad though."
"May I ask what it was about?"
"A sorcerer came to Camelot for the tournament. He took a shine to me. He was creepy, he wanted me for my powers, being able to see the future. I refuse to leave knowing I don't want to leave Camelot. My dream then flashes to something else where he has killed many knights and has taken me by force Merlin." by now Morgana is crying on Merlin's shoulder, who pulled her into a comforting hug halfway through.
"I'm scared Merlin."
"I won't let him take you Morgana. When you see him you will have to point him out to me so I can keep an eye out."
"I don't want you to get hurt."
"I won't get hurt Morgana. I promise. You know me. I always manage to get away. Most of the time unscathed, look at all the times when people have come to Camelot in order to destroy it, and me and Gaius have managed to bring peace to the kingdom once again between us. Remember Sophia. You knew about her and what she wanted to do to Arthur and me and Gaius stopped her didn't we." Morgana nodded. "Trust me Morgana. Even if I do get hurt it won't matter, I have done it before and I will do it again. Okay?" when Merlin didn't get an answer, he turned to look at Morgana to see that she had fell asleep on his shoulder. He gently laid her back down and went to pull away but found that Morgana still had a tight hold on him. Trying and failing several times to pull away. Merlin sighed. "I am so dead come morning." he muttered to himself before laying down next to Morgana and waited for sleep to take him.
The next morning. Arthur was walking through the corridors on his way to Gaius' quarters. Merlin hadn't shown up this morning and Arthur thought that he had slept in. Again. Gaius looked up from eating his breakfast when his door opened. "Sire. Is something wrong?"
"Where is that half-wit?"
"I haven't seen Merlin since last night. I went to wake him this morning and when he wasn't even there I just assumed he got up early and went to wake you sire."
"I haven't seen him all morning. Where was he going last night when you last saw him?"
"To lady Morgana's chambers to drop off the sleeping draught Gwen didn't pick up."
"Maybe Guinevere has seen him." Arthur mumbled. He looked up at Gaius. "Thank you Gaius. Sorry for disturbing you with your breakfast Gaius." Arthur said before turning and leaving the old man to continue his breakfast.
Gwen was at Morgana's chambers about to open the door when someone calling her name out stopped her. She turned and smiled when she saw Arthur walking up to her. "Arthur?"
"Have you seen Merlin?"
"No I haven't. I normally see him on the way here as he is on his way to your chambers but I haven't seen him this morning."
"Will you let me know if you see him?"
"I will do Arthur."
"Thank you Guinevere."
Gwen opened the door to Morgana's chambers as Arthur turned and started to walk away. She stepped inside and saw the two figures in Morgana's bed and backed out of the chambers, shutting the door behind her. "Arthur." Gwen called out.
Arthur stopped and walked back over to Gwen. "I have found Merlin." Arthur looked around him. "Which way did he go?"
Gwen smiled and opened the door to Morgana's chambers, walked in and beckoned Arthur to follow. Arthur followed Gwen in and shut the door behind him, he looked confused at Gwen who smiled and pointed to the bed. Arthur walked over to the bed and felt his jaw drop when he saw Merlin tucked under the covers with Morgana.
Arthur leaned forward and shook Merlin. "Ngh?"
"Wake up Merlin."
Merlin slowly opened his eyes and saw Arthur looking down at him with a strange smile on his face. "Arthur?"
"Yes Merlin. It's me. Can you answer two questions for me?"
"What?"
"Question one: Why is it that I am having to find you and wake you up again when it should be you that wakes me up as you're my servant? And question two: Why, of all the places you could be sleeping, why do I find you asleep in Morgana's bed both wrapped round each other?"
Merlin looked to his left and saw Morgana asleep next to him with her arm flung across his chest. He jumped out of bed, waking Morgana up in he process. "Sorry Arthur. I came to drop the remedy off, and then. The nightmare. Wouldn't let go." Merlin stammered, flailing his hands about trying to explain.
"Don't look so worried Merlin." Morgana said as she sat up a little. She looked from Merlin to Arthur. "I woke up screaming from a nightmare last night. Merlin woke me because I was screaming, I got scared and he gave the remedy and comforted me and I must have fell asleep in his arms." she explained.
Merlin looked at Morgana. "Sorry Morgana but after you fell asleep, you wouldn't let go of me."
"It's alright Merlin. It's me at fault." Morgana said smiling at Merlin before glaring at Arthur. "Isn't it Arthur?"
Arthur mumbled that sounded like a 'I suppose so' and walked out of Morgana's chambers grabbing Merlin's arm and taking him with him.
Well? Good? Bad? So so?
Chapter 3 will be up within a week but no later :D
A/N: Sorry I left the first chapter like that and then started the second one like this, but the story needs to be told of how Morgana and Merlin fell for each other, how Morgana knew about Merlin's magic and why the sorcerer wants revenge and why he wants Morgana.
Review? x
