Hey all! Enjoy the fourth chappy!
"What?" Merlin asked, blinking. He obviously hadn`t expected this, Nimueh thought.
"Yes, Merlin, I will help you to keep the young Pendragon safe." She said, squeezing his hands slightly. Hesitating for a moment, Merlin scanned her eyes, searching for any lies there might be.
At length, the young warlock stood. He silently beckoned to Nimueh, and she followed as he stepped out into the night. Looking down at her ragged red dress, Nimueh decided that it was time for a change of clothes. Using magic, she changed the dress into the dull brown and green garb of a serving lady.
They slipped unseen into Camelot; through the gates, skirting the edges of the large paved square. Taking the lead, Nimueh slipped up the stairs toward Gaius`s rooms. She still recalled with unfailing accuracy where everything in Camelot was.
Before she could open the door, however, Merlin`s hand shot out and took her own. Turning, she gave him a questioning look.
"Where would you hide? Even in my room, there are no hiding places Gaius does not know."
She had not thought of that. But staying separate from the young warlock seemed a bad idea. "I suppose I should find a place nearby, then." She answered at length. He nodded and let go of her hand before slipping through the door. Nimueh stood there, stock-still, for a moment. Slowly, she crept toward a set of doors adjacent to the court physician`s quarters.
Pushing it open carefully, the priestess poked her head in. The bed was unoccupied, and though the chambers were clean and tidy, it was obvious that nobody had lived her for a long time. Closing the door, she looked around closer at everything. It was time to find a place to rest, then. Opening the wardrobe door, she noted that everything was obviously untouched.
Lying down inside the wardrobe, she pulled a thick fur wrap down. Spreading it over the hard oak bottom, Nimueh settled down to rest. She would be safe here for the night.
Review, please? Sorry for how short it is, but I got school and didn`t want to leave updating it off for too long.
