Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Merlin. :(

Why had he ever considered becoming a professor for all these "impeccable" idiots of the world? He could've simply picked a subject that takes skill, but no-o, he takes up the responsibility of teaching the easy subject of the Arthurian legends.

And why did everyone seem to think that it was the easy A? Of course, he gets the occasional sensible young adult that he could withstand.

Merlin walked into the class room to see what idiots had picked the subject this term. His eyes scanned the room as the students said hello. He noticed there were some more potential learners from the way some sat in the front row, sitting strait, with a slight but serious smile adorning their cheery faces.
Until he saw the one sitting right in front of him.

She did not look cheery at all— quite the opposite, actually. She sat with her face staring at the desk as she fiddled with her pen, twirling it in her long, pale fingers that she had painted the nails in a gothic black. Her jet-black hair flew around in a mess clump, hiding her face. She mumbled some hurried hello as she looked up.

"Morgana," he gasped under his breath.

She stood up quickly as she saw his face, nearly knocking the desk over. "You," she sneered. Her emerald eyes shone brighter than ever. She wore ripped black jeans, black leather boots, and a black hoodie with graffiti of punk bands all over.

The previous Morgana showed through very deeply.

He muttered a quick apology to the confused class as he ran out the room.

How could she be here? If it was possible, did it mean that Arthur and everyone else was back too? He heard her scream after him as he continued to run away. "You bastard, you killed me!" she screeched. He ran into his private office, slamming the door behind him. He rubbed his head as he started to cry. Guilt and remorse replaced his heart ever since he had killed the woman he loved. The door blasted open fiercely as Morgana strolled in angrily.

"Morgana," he whispered towards her.

"My name's Morgan," she seethed.

"I'm so sorry, Morgana," he sobbed.

She walked up to him and dragged him up to face her. "Sorry doesn't cut it," she snarled.

"I loved you, Morgana! Do you really think I wanted to hurt you?"

She slapped him as hard as she could. "But you did! I didn't do anything wrong and you killed me!" She aimed for another slap, but he grabbed her hands. She struggled against his grip. "Let go of me!" she screamed.

"No," he whispered.

She relaxed in frustration. "All I want to know is why?"

"You know exactly why."

"No, I don't. As far as I'm concerned, you sacrificed me."

He gaped at her. "But..."

"And you want to know something else?"

"No! You're just playing your mind games!"

"Why did you kill me?"

"You brought back Nimueh and killed Gwen in the process. You gave me no choice. It was the only way to eliminate Nimueh."

Tears welled up. "I didn't do either of those. Mordred did."

His eyes widened in disbelief. He crouched down, burying his face in his hands. "No," he whispered.

"No!" she screamed, pulling him back up. "You don't deserve to feel emotion!"

"Will you ever forgive me?"

"I would if you had killed only me."

"What do you mean?" he cried.

"I..." she turned her head away as tears dropped from her eyes. "I was—" Before she finished her sentence, Merlin had turned her head and pressed his lips to hers. She pushed him away angrily. "Don't. You. Dare." she whispered, wiping her mouth. "Merlin. I was pregnant."

He stared at her, the words ringing through his ears. "Wh...Mi...How?"

"I think you know exactly how."

"But was it mine?"

"Of course it was you bloody idiot! You killed your own child!"

The world around him started to fade as he processed the truth.

"Kill me," he whispered, "I deserve it."

"No, you don't deserve such an easy death. You deserve to live with ths guilt, letting it consume you until you are nothing."

"I'm so sorry," he whispered.

Author's Ending Notes: Yeah, super angsty! I intended more romance, but then over time I got these great ideas and then it became this... Yup... Oh! sorry it took so long! I sorta got grounded... 0_0 And review? I think the next shot will be a little Merlin/Sefa one, or a Merlin/Mithian. I also have a Merlin/Freya in the to-do list! But please give me more prompts! XD
