Hello! You should feel lucky that I'm bored and so I'm updating two days in a row. I'm sorry that it's mostly speech and not that much description but what can you d? I don't really think it needs that much description right? I mean we all know what Camelot looks like... Hope you enjoy :)
Magic Chose Us
Chapter 2
Despite Gaius' disapproving stare he received on his return home, Merlin drifted into an easy sleep that night knowing that he had saved the life of an innocent boy and he had made Morgana happy. He didn't even care what the dragon had said about Mordred and destiny. Morgana was happy and so he was happy too.
The next morning Merlin made his way down to the castle as usual, ignoring Gaius' attempts to reprimand him for his actions last night. Morgana brushed past him in the hallway of the castle as he made his way to Arthur's quarters and his stomach started doing back flips as she smiled at him.
'Good morning, Merlin,' Morgana greeted pleasantly.
'And you, Morgana,' He replied.
He carried on walking, trying to justify his feelings. Was it just because he now shared the connection of magic with her?
'Merlin,' Arthur grumbled as the future king of Camelot almost fell out of his bed like a baby, 'You're late.'
'I'm on time sire,' Merlin replied, putting as much respect into his voice whilst trying to keep himself from laughing.
'Shut up, Merlin,' he grumbled, actually falling out of bed.
'Were you drunk last night, Sire?'
'No,' Arthur replied stubbornly.
'Whatever you say, sire,' Merlin chuckled, helping him up.
'I need to continue the search for the druid boy,' Arthur announced once he was fully dressed.
'I don't think that will be necessary,' Morgana trilled, floating into the room like an angel, her deep green cloak bellowing out behind her.
'And why's that?' Arthur asked stubbornly.
'You've been searching for him for days; why don't you just accept that he's fled the city and move on'
Merlin stared at her in wonder. Surly someone with such beauty and compassion couldn't possibly exist. It seemed too good to be true.
'I doubt father will approve of that,' Arthur sighed.
'And you always do what daddy tells you,' Morgana smirked. Merlin smiled, trying harder than ever before to not laugh.
'No,' Arthur said, sounding more like a whiney teenager than the prince of Camelot.
Merlin completed making Arthur's bed then turned to ask, 'Will that be all, sire?'
'No,' he replied, 'I also want you to polish my armour and muck out the horses.'
Merlin sighed, 'Yes sire.' With that, he collected Arthurs armour and left the castle.
Merlin set to work polishing Arthur's armour, with magic of course. He heard the front door open and close softly.
'Gaius?' Merlin called.
Morgana came into his room and he instantly dropped what he was doing, but too late; Morgana had seen what he had been doing.
'Morgana!' he cried, 'Uh... Can I help you with something?'
'How did you do that?' she asked, seemingly torn between curiosity and revulsion since she had been brought up to hate magic.
'I was born with it,' he sighed.
'Well as it seems,' she sighed, 'So was I... But I can't do that.'
Merlin studied her for a while, 'Is that why you came here?'
'I just want to understand what's happening.'
Merlin understood entirely what she was going through and had never wanted to help someone so much in his life.
Merlin smiled reassuringly at her, 'I'll help you,' He promised, 'It'll all be okay, I promise.'
Just then Morgana did something completely out of character and unexpected, she burst out crying. Startled, Merlin awkwardly wrapped his arms around her.
'I just don't know what to do, Merlin,' She sniffed, 'what is Uther finds out?'
'He won't find out Morgana; you will learn to control your magic, I'll help you.'
Morgana pulled away from him with a look of pure gratitude in her blue eyes, 'Thank you,' she said and then took him by surprise by kissing him on the cheek.'
'Uh... No problem,' Merlin muttered. Putting Arthur's things to one side, he gathered the things that were necessary to teach Morgana the basics to control her magic.
Thanks to Ascello, BlackFeath, Tagrea, cooking-ninja18 and mgaudry for following.
ScarletBloodTurnedBlack: thanks for reviewing, in my defense it was 1 am when I wrote that chapter and I have a new laptop (therefore a new grammar and spelling check) to be getting used to. I shall try to keep an eye on my punctuation :)
I'd really appreciate more reviews whether they're good or constructive or just plain telling me you don't like it... I just want to know if you like it or not *puppy dog eyes* please.
