Letting Her Freak Flag Fly
Merlin tensed up as he approached the doors to Pynchley's study. Being around him and the whole teaching faculty made him act unlike himself. He knew they were going to talk about Rosaria. He knew she was harmless. As he entered, the teachers were already talking to Pynchley.
They stopped talking as Merlin entered the room. He knew how the others felt about him. He was a freak to them because of the way he taught the students.
"You know why we're here Merlin.
Your grand daughter Rosaria Pendragon. I know you promised the rulers of Far, Far Away you'd protect her but....." Pynchley told him.
"But what?" Merlin asked him.
"She doesn't fit in here and she's always in the middle of something.
Maybe she should go." the principal told him.
Merlin shivered at that. He wouldn't abandon the girl because of this. It wasn't her fault this was happening. He wouldn't send her away.
He cared too much about her to do that.
Or was it something else?
"Pynchley.... I can't do that to her.
You know that.
She's..... too precious to me.
You wouldn't understand." Merlin told him.
He had a bad feeling as he left that something was happening as he left and went to his dorm room. Inogen was there but looked worried.
The door to Rosaria's room was open wide as he went in.
Rosaria was asleep but somebody else's aura was there.
He saw a hooded figure in the darkness.
"Hello. My mother told me about you.
She used to be your prized student." she said smugly.
Merlin froze in his tracks hearing that......
"What do you want with her?" he asked.....
