(So I'm sorry about the cliffhanger last time… Okay I'm really not but I feel bad for how much I put Merlin through in this fanfiction. Anyway, here is the new chapter. I don't own Merlin. BBC does. But in my mind Morgana also has him ;).)
Merlin laid on the stone cold floor with blood seeping through his tunic, Morgana was kneeling next to him trying to stop the bleeding. She was shaking in fear, not that she had any romantic feelings for the boy but it was how anyone would react.
Gaius had finally made it out of the crowd of people that was blocking his path and with the help of some help from Sir Leon, a knight of Camelot that Morgana has known since she was small, they took the black haired prince away to the physician's chambers.
Morgana was forced to go to her chambers and ordered to rest, but how can one sleep when they saw someone be stroked down right in front of you? She did not argue because now she could try to sort out who could have done this.
She knew that the person was magic, no one without it could make lighting like that from their hand, and they would have to be powerful enough to early kill a man. The person's motive to kill Prince Merlin was unknown but Morgana could tell it wasn't a murder attempt out of passion.
Though, after pleading for an hour Gwen took Morgana to see Prince Merlin, not without teasing the young ward relentlessly about possibly having a fondness for the young prince which Morgana denied.
The two entered the physician's chambers seeing Uther and Arthur stood off to the side while Queen Hunith and Gaius were looming around the cot where young Merlin laid. The Queen sat in a chair near the cot holding her son's limp hand with tears in her beautiful eyes.
Morgana stood next to Hunith putting a hand on the queen's shoulder not knowing what to do with comforting someone, "He is going to be alright your Majesty,"
Hunith looks over at the young lady "How can you be so sure?"
"I'm not sure. I just have a feeling," Morgana says, smiling down at her future mother-in-law
Gaius was finishing brewing a potion for most likely Prince Merlin and administrated it to the young prince, he had to force open the prince's mouth with strength Morgana didn't know Gaius ever had in the time she knew him.
The old physician told the people in the room that the potion will wake up the prince from unconsciousness. And not even after a minute after Gaius said this a groan came out of the prince's lips.
Merlin rubs the back of his head "What happened?"
No one answered all he got was a near bone crushing hug for his mother "Thank God you are alive!" She exclaims
He looks to Gaius with a questioning look in his deep blue eyes.
"Someone attacked you with lighting. A strike that could have killed you," The physician says
Merlin sighs, "I hoped that this wouldn't happen. She needs to know this is going to help the kingdoms,"
Morgana looks at him questioningly "Who?"
"A sorceress named Anna. She said I was a disgrace to my kind if I marry you milady. Told me I wouldn't live to see my wedding if I go through with it." He explains. "She is probably just annoyed that she isn't invited to the wedding"
Morgana couldn't help but giggle a little at the remark. No one else heard her besides Merlin who smiles like an idiot. A blush crept on the lady's pale cheeks, which she had no idea why she was, and to hide Morgana turned away from the people in the room.
For a few minutes Gaius inspected the young warlock princes for any other physical injuries and found nothing so with some help from Morgana Prince Merlin was able to leave.
Merlin and Morgana took a walk together around the vast castle of Camelot just talking about what they wanted to share or sharing stories about their lives that were so humorous that it made them cry. It was a bit of a giddy affair with all the laughing but neither one could control their laughter for the life of them.
They were in the royal garden when a servant told them it the king waited for them in the dining hall. As fast as their legs could take them they ran in the spot light of the beautiful moon light, laughing for no real reason.
In the hall the two apologetically explained that they lost track of time and didn't realize that it was nightfall. Of course Uther and Hunith just smile at them like parents do when they see their children happily falling in love with someone, for it was obvious enough to everyone besides the ones falling.
Merlin took a seat next to Morgana and they continued to talk in whispers so the other people couldn't hear them. The people around them could see the growing love between the young teens, it was obvious enough that Prince Arthur could notice.
Morgana enjoyed having Merlin as company, even though they've only known each other for a few hours it felt like they've known each other for years. What drew Morgana to Merlin was his eyes, they were so mature for a boy of fifteen and they just fascinated her.
After dinner Merlin walked Morgana to her chambers a comfortable air of silence between the two of them. He stood with her in front of her door searching in his head for the right words to say.
Finally, he came up with a few simple words "Good night milady."
He was about to turn and leave when Morgana calls after him "Milord?"
The young prince looks back at her and the lady stands on her tiptoes and kisses his cheek quickly "Good night Prince Merlin" she says "Sweet dreams"
As she enters her chambers you could almost hear Merlin mutter "Sweet dreams Lady Morgana"
He walks away to his chambers touching the place where Morgana had kissed on his cheek.
(So, what do you think of that chapter? No, cliffhanger this time! And no trying to kill Merlin! Hope you enjoyed it! And please review!)
