Disclaimer: I still dont own Merlin

Merlin woke up and looked around at the what seemed to be familiar surroundings for him now. Morganas hovel was cleaner than his room that was for sure, but a lot colder due to where it was and what it was made of. But when Morganas arm wrapped around his neck and forced him to face her, he smiled and snuggled closer to her. Morgana smiled back….she had been watching him sleeping for a full hour now. In that time, she had been thinking how they had gotten to being so close and then dismissed the thoughts towards thinking of how she would clear his name and get him back in Camelot. Not many people cared about her, but he did.

"You snored" she muttered with a grin.

"I didn't" Merlin protested until her snigger made him cut off his protests and he playfully dug his fingers into her ribs.

Morgana let out a shriek and rolled on top of him, trying to grab his hands to stop the tickles…she had never liked it but when he did it, she didn't mind.

But she wouldn't let him win at this game.

She moved her head down so her hair smothered his face and when he was distracted, she grabbed his wrists and pinned them to the bed and smirked as she moved her hair to one side with a little magic and kissed her nose.

"You're cute when you are being teased"

"You're cute when you're being tickled" Merlin retorted with a goofy smile.

Morgana smiled and let go of his wrists and sat up, still straddling his stomach. Merlin moved upright and held her waist and saw her pondering expression.

"What's wrong?"

"Just thinking how to get you back to Camelot. And how to get rid of Agravaine as well" she added.

Merlin knew she wouldn't be the same Morgana they had loved a few years ago…she had so much anger in her. But he wouldn't stop her plan as long as no-one else got hurt. Morgana seemed to pick up on his thoughts and gently patted his cheek as she looked down at him.

"Don't fret, no-one else will be involved Merlin"

Merlin didn't have time to say anything as her eyes flared gold and he was sent into a deep sleep.

Morgana knew he wouldn't want anyone, maybe even Agravaine getting hurt. But she wanted Agravaine dead or really injured for going behind her back with his own plans….not to mention treating Merlin in such a bad way. No, she now had an idea. Everyone would know it was Agravaine that was the traitor and she would appear to save Merlin and bring him back.

Maybe she could get into Camelot again after all….

Agravaine smiled as he looked out of his window to watch the young King and his nephew train with the knights. He was an excellent swordsman but he knew nothing about ruling a kingdom…Mind you, he did have Uther as a teacher he mused with a grin.

"Something funny My Lord?"

Agravaine spun around to face Morgana, wondering why she was here.

"My Lady…no, just thinking how it would be better with you on the throne"

Morgana smiled and walked past him, close enough for her skirts to brush over his feet and for her fragrance to hit him. Agravaine tried to move closer but she walked away before he could and he snarled slightly.

Morgana hid a smile. The spell she had cast would allow her to place thoughts into his mind and force him to do something stupid….So she vanished from the room and reappeared outside under an archway where Agravaine would see her. Indeed, Agravaine saw her and after a few moments he was coming closer to her again.

"Use this and attack Arthur" she said, holding out a red dagger.

Morgana hid a smile as Agravaine took the dagger and began to walk towards Arthur with the dagger fully visible and retreated into the shadows. She knew he wouldn't get very far in killing him and if Agravaine survived, he would be tried and executed to treason. Then it was a matter of getting Merlin back to Camelot but she had an idea for that too…

Arthur looked over to see his uncle walking towards them and wondered why he was holding what looked like a red dagger. Daggers weren't red unless they were enchanted but he hated magic like his father did. His musings were cut off when Agravaine roared and brought his dagger up for a killing blow. Arthur easily avoided the clumsy lunge and knocked the blade out of his hands with a flurry of swings and his uncle fell to the floor, clutching his hand.

"You….attacked me" Arthur muttered.

"I hate you. It shouldn't be you on the throne, it should be me! You know nothing about ruling Arthur, you are just as useless as your father was!" Agravaine shouted.

In the background, Morgana smiled wickedly. The spell was so fun to use.

"Arrest him" Arthur said.

Leon and Percival moved forwards when Agravaine, under Morganas order, tried to lunge at Arthur again….and was stopped when Arthurs sword struck him through the chest. Morgana lifted the spell and vanished with a dark chuckle as Agravaine struggled to talk to Arthur.

"I….Arthur…."

Arthur didn't say anything as his uncle slipped away and wondered why he had attacked him. Was he jealous of him being the King? He hadn't been enchanted surely…no way would he ally himself with Morgana. No-one even knew where she was…

Morgana smiled as she appeared back at her hovel and opened the door to see Merlin looking at her as he lay on her bed.

"Morgana, what…."

"Shhhh" she whispered as she walked over and sat at the edge of the bed and kissed him on the lips gently before looking at him. "Everything's almost taken care of"

Merlin knew she had done something, but he wouldn't say anything. He didn't want to lose their rekindled friendship. He didn't want to lose her again. So he stayed silent and smiled slightly.

"What now?"

"I get you back into Camelot now" she whispered "But it may take a few days….do you want to stay that long?"

Merlin was struggling to answer as she was lightly trailing a finger along his cheek but eventually got his speech to work.

"I think I can stay a while milady"

Morgana smiled but sighed at the title….and so once again she dug her fingers into his ribs and watched him scream with laughter, loving the way she still held a power over him. She had been right to try and change her ways with him. No-one else gave her the chance or showed her that there was indeed another way after all.
