Merlin awoke with the door of his and Mordreds cell being opened. 6 guards walked in and roughly dragged them out of the cell. Arthur and the knights yelled out in anger.

Merlin and Mordred were dragged back into the throne room where Gwen, Hunith, and Giuas were bound and kneeling in front of Morgana, Cenred, and Morguase. Merlins heart stopped when he saw his mother with a black eye and some bruises. He would makeMorgana
/pay for this.

"So happy you could join us." Morgana says, with an evil smirk on her face, " I brought you some friends. "

If looks could kill Morgana would be dead, along with Morgause and Cenred. Merlin had to get everyone out of here.

"Not very talkative today?" Morgause says, "Pitty." Walking down the steps and standing in front of Hunith, "take them to the cells. And the Knights you can do with as you please, just don't kill them."

"No!" Merlin yells, as he tries to get out of the grasps of the men holding him down. Morgana watches on in amusement. "Please don't."

"And why not?" Morgana said, she loved watching him beg. The man who had foiled all of her plans in the past, now begging at her feet. "What could you possibly give me in return?"

"Merlin, don't." Mordred said struggling in this bonds, "you can't do this." The man hit Mordred on the head with the butt of his sword.

"Take Mordred back to his cell. Merlin and I are going to have a little chat." Morgana said, as she sat back into her throne. Mordred was dragged out of the room yelling and kicking.

Mordred was thrown back into his cell. He hoped Merlinwouldn't do anything stupid. The knights weren't worth him exposing himself as Emrys.

"Mordred?" Gwaine said, "where's Merlin?"

"He's still up there with Morgana." Mordred said leaning his head against the wall, "Are any of you hurt?"

"No."

"Has her men come down here?"

"Only to bring you back. Why do you ask?"

"She tricked him." Mordred said getting up and trying to get to the door. "She lied."

"About what Mordred?" Arthur said, panicky, "what's wrong?"

"Merlin... Arthur and the knights are fine. Merlin don't do this."

There was no reply. Mordred waited, but Merlin didn't answer. A tear slowly dropped down his face.

"Mordred..."

"Merlin! Arthur and the knights are fine, they dont even have a scratch on them."

"That's great.."

"Merlin what's wrong?"

"Tell Arthur to go...and try the door... this is taking...a lot of energy..."

"Arthur, try your cell door."

Arthur tried the door and it slowly opened. The knights slowly got up and walked to the cell door. Mordred stood up, the chains on his wrists clicking together. Arthur unlocked Mordreds cell and walked over to Mordred and tried to get the cuffs

off.

"They can't come off. And we don't have time to find the key." Leon sayed, "Mordred would have to come with us chained."

"What about Merlin, we can't leave him here?" Arthur said turning to his knights.

"You go. Merlin and I can get out of here." Arthur tried to protest but mordred interrupted, "You must get to Gwen and protect Camelot."

"Mordred, I..."

"Arthur I'll be fine. Now go!"

Arthur and his knights left Mordred alone in the cell.

"Merlin they are safe."

"What about you?"

"We couldn't get the chains off."
