Thank you so much for all of the reviews I have been receiving! They mean the world to me! :)

"We need to get in here." Arthur pointed to the caves ahead of the group.

"What if they are expecting us?" Lancelot asked.

Arthur turned and walked in. "Let's hope they are not."

Merlin shook his head as he tried to clear his vision as he hit the cold stone floor of the cell. Freya ran by his side and helped him sit up. He leaned his head against her shoulder breathing hard from Valen's kicks and the rough way Morgause's men had dragged him to the cell.

She squeezed his hand and he kissed it. The two sat there for a moment in silence. Merlin closed his eyes and then a few moments later he looked up at Freya. She swallowed hard and a couple tears ran down her cheeks. He took her face in his hands. "We will get out of this. I promise."

Freya pulled his hand down. "How? When I turn into that creature, I lose all sight of good of bad, I just, kill..." Her voice was caught off in a small sob. He frowned for a moment. "You didn't seem to forget with me."

She looked into her eyes. "What do you mean?"

"Do you remember much of what happened last time you were in Camelot?" Freya thought for a moment. "Just bits and pieces. Why?"

"When you saw me you didn't attack. I think you recognized me. Plus when I went in the tunnel you didn't even try to hurt me."

Freya brightened for a moment. "Do you think that will happen now?"

Merlin shook his head. "I don't know. But if it does then it will buy us some time, to get out of there."

Freya sighed. "What if it doesn't."

"Then I will find some other way."

"But..."

Merlin took her shoulder. "Freya. I promised that I'd look after you. And I intend to keep that promise."

Freya half smiled. Merlin stroked her face. "That's better." after a couple seconds the two kissed tenderly for a moment before the alarm bells went off in the castle. A guard asked another what was going on.

"It seems like prince Arthur and some of his knights have tried to come and rescue Emrys. Valen cut them off when she was leaving, so Morgause is going to throw them in with the cursed one. And get this. One of Arthur's companions had magic."

Merlin's eyes widened. "Arthur came." he whispered, his eyes full of happiness. Freya frowned. "Does he know about you?"

Merlin looked at her surprised. "Yes. I thought he hated me." He grinned. "I guess I was wrong."

A Few Minutes Earlier...

Arthur froze and held up his hand signaling for the others to stop. "I thought I heard something." he whispered.

"Yes, yes you did." Valen's voice came out of nowhere. Gilli was instantly alert. "That's her! Be careful sire!"

Valen smirked and stepped out of the shadows. "I personally think it's funny that some so called brave knights and a magical person is afraid of one girl."

Arthur glowered. "What have you done with Merlin?"

Valen smirked. "Oh don't worry he's in good hands. Tonight he is going to be killed by his undead cursed girlfriend." She sighed. "Did anyone else notice how messed up that sentence was."

Arthur stood up straighter. "She's alive." he whispered. Valen nodded. "But still cursed. You'd have to kill me to release the curse. Course that's not going to happen." She held up her weapon and smirked ready for a fight. "Once I take you all to Morgause she will be more than pleased to raise my price."

Arthur held up Excalibur. "Don't count on it." Valen paled for a moment. "Where did you get that?" she whispered.

Arthur smirked. "Afraid now?" Valen glared at him. "Not likely."

Running she charged and turned into a Griffin. Lancelot groaned, and then was knocked over as he tried to stab the creature. "Lancelot mate you need to wake up!" Gwaine yelled as Valen changed into a black goblin like creature with wings. Hissing it flew down towards but was cut off my a magical energy beam that threw her back into the rocks. Arthur turned to see Gilli's eyes turning from golden to their natural color.

"Thanks."

Gilli smiled and then turned to Valen who stood up furious and then changed into a wolf with red eyes and was taller than any horse. Arthur stabbed at it causing Valen to have a cut in her arm. It growled and swiped Arthur into a surprised Gwaine the two hitting the rocks and knocking them unconscious.

Valen turned back into herself. Gilli saw the cut in her arm spill blood. "Hurts doesn't it?" he said she winced. Pulling out her mace she swung it at Gilli who ducked and then pulled out his sword.

"You haven't begin to feel pain. Not until I'm through with you." Gilli's eyes glowed giving him extra strength to fight the women.

He held up for a few moment before she knocked him on the head, and he fell unconscious before her feet, blood dripping from the wound in his head. Valen wiped off the blood from her mace. "Don't forget it. I always win."

Morgana turned as the door opened and Valen entered while a few guards entered dragging Arthur, Gwaine, Lancelot, and Gilli in chains.

"Valen what is this?" Morgause asked entering the room. Valen crossed her arms. "I found these idiots sneaking around in an attempt to save our dear Emrys." Arthur struggled violently. Valen was about to speak when Arthur's struggling made her distracted. "Excuse me." she said walking over to Arthur. Taking her mace she struck him on the head making him fall over while a wound appeared on his head.

She bent down to his eyes level as he struggled not to show the pain he was feeling. "Please don't struggle because the more you do, the more you will hurt. Understand?" Arthur merely glared at her.

Smirking Valen turned to face Morgana and Morgause. "If we throw them in with Merlin they all will die in a painful way. And I've got something for you." Valen pulled Excalibur from one of the guards grasp.

"I give you the sword to kill the undead. It the only thing in this world powerful enough to destroy me. With your permission, we will destroy it."

Morgause took the sword. "I don't think so."

Morgana walked up to her. "Sister do you think that it is wise? With such a weapon Arthur could defeat us."

Morgause smirked. "Not if he is dead. Besides, it will give us more power than before."

Morgana smiled sinisterly. "Take the prisoners to where Emrys is being held. Make sure they will be ready for tonight."

The guards bowed and dragged the four companions away. Arthur watched as his sword was given to his own sister.

Merlin's eyes glowed for the hundredth time as he tried to get out of his chains. Freya sighed. "They must have enchanted the chains."

Merlin groaned and leaned back against the wall. At that moment the doors opened and the guards threw in Lancelot, Gwaine, Arthur and Gilli. Gilli was the first to notice Merlin.

"Merlin! Thank God! I was afraid you were dead." Merlin chuckled. "They decided a nice a slow death would suffice. So I have a few more hours."

Gwaine sat next to Merlin and gave him a pat on the back. "It's good to see you mate. Any idea how to escape?"

"Well I tried to get out of the chains but Morgause has enchanted them. She really doesn't want me leaving."

Gwaine saw Freya who was asleep on Merlin's shoulder. "Is that her?"

Merlin frowned. "Wait you know about her?" Gwaine shrugged. "Arthur told us, when he decided to get off his lazy arse and help."

Lancelot chuckled. Gwaine shot a look at him. "What?"

"It's just that you didn't seem to go any faster than Arthur to go rescue him."

"Your one to talk." Gwaine shot back. Freya opened her eyes and chuckled a little. "You have no problem joking before you get killed."

"I'm Gwaine." Gwaine held out his hand. "Freya." she shook it with a smile. "I'd say something charming, but I have a feeling Merlin might blast me if I do."

"He wouldn't." Freya said giving the said warlock a half serious look. Merlin rolled his eyes. "Fine, I promise I will only turn you into a toad."

"Thought that honer was reserved for Arthur."

Merlin looked down refusing to look the prince squarely in the eyes." Freya got up and moved to the other side where Lancelot was forcing Merlin to sit next to the prince. Merlin finally looked up. "Why did you come?"

Arthur sighed. "Merlin I am still having a hard time getting used to your magic abilities, but if I know one thing, it's that you aren't evil."

Merlin's face was so trusting that any doubts that Arthur may have had, slipped away. "Thank you Arthur."

Arthur smiled for the first time in awhile. Then Morgana came and smirked. "It is time."

Merlin, Arthur, Gwaine, and Lancelot were dragged into a large room not unlike an arena. They were all chained with their hands held up against their heads. Valen walked in dragging Freya who was tied up in a rope. The moonlight shone through a window above their heads.

Morgana and Morgause stood up above watching everything. Arthur saw that Valen had Excalibur hanging on the side of her hip. He leaned in to Merlin. "If I can get the sword, then I will be able to kill Valen." he whispered. Merlin nodded. "Don't worry I have a plan, but it will only work if you trust me." He looked at Arthur seriously. "Do you trust me with your life?"

Arthur swallowed and then nodded. "I never thought I'd be brainwashed into saying this but yes. I do trust you."

Merlin smiled and then grew serious as Valen spoke. Freya was panting for a moment as she could feel the moonlight having its affect.

"If anything goes wrong, I will kill her first and then you all with his own sword." Valen smirked as Freya yelled out loud in agony, the curse taking effect.

Arthur saw that Merlin was having a hard time keeping his emotions in check. It was obviously really hard to see her suffer like this. Valen stepped out of harms way as Freya turn into the monster.

Arthur swallowed in fear as Freya charged, and he cringed. "Merlin do something." But Merlin didn't move. "Don't move a muscle Arthur."

Arthur instantly froze forgetting that his manservant was ordering him about.

The beast charged them and roared into Arthur's face and then stood on it's hind legs ready to strike.

"Freya don't!" The beast instantly turned to where Merlin's voice had come from. It growled and then turned it's attention to him.

"Freya I know you. You are not a killer, and you care about us. Even as you are now, I know that somewhere deep down there is some good in you. Please!"

All of a sudden the beast's eyes lit up in recognition as Valen jumped off the ledge and pulled out Excalibur. "No way! Don't worry Emrys I am going to make sure she has a long and painful death."

Freya as the beast turned a growled at Valen. Then turned to Merlin who smiled at her. Gwaine was beyond shocked. "No way." he whispered.

The beast jumped up and snapped the chains with it's teeth Merlin pat her head. "Thank you." Then he sent a blast to Valen who was about to kill Freya and sent her sprawling. "Quick Freya get the others."

With almost a nod she got Arthur free. And he ran to help Merlin.

Morgause turned to Morgana. "Get the guards!"

"No!" Valen shouted. "I want the pleasure of killing them myself."

Merlin sent some fire to her, and she blocked it with Excalibur but it flew out of her hands. She saw it leave and then shrugged and pulled her mace out not noticing Arthur going to retrieve his sword.

"Is that all you got?" She said with a smirk.

Merlin sent a blast of energy towards her but she jumped out of harms way and then sent him sprawling.

"Good-bye dear Emrys." She raised her hand ready to strike a killing blow but then a large creature leaped forward and pushed her back knocking the weapon out of her hand.

Freya roared into her face and was about to strike when Valen stuck her in the stomach with a dagger that had been unnoticed. She whimpered and fell back.

"No!" Merlin yelled getting up, but then Valen got ready for another fight. Then a sword appeared in her belly. She looked down in shock and pain and then all at once exploded. Arthur appeared holding a blood stained Excalibur. Merlin smiled at him and then turned his attention to Freya. She had turned back into herself and lay still. Merlin ran over to her side and felt her stomach where the dagger had been. "No please don't let it be too late." he whispered.

"Please be alive." Merlin begged. Gwaine and Lancelot stood by him looking worried while Gilli thought for a moment.

"Wait a moment!" he said loudly. Morgana and Morgause stood back and ran to get some guards.

Gilli ran to Freya and then showed Merlin his ring.

"I can try to heal her." Speaking a healing spell he put his ring against Freya' wound. She groaned for a moment and then Gilli stepped back. Merlin saw that the wound was gone.

Soon the color came back into Freya's face as she sat up. She smiled as she saw Merlin.

"You were right." He smiled broadly and helped her get up the two shared a small kiss before the warning bells rang.

"We need to get out of here!" Arthur yelled and the group ran out.

A couple days later, the group reached the border of Camelot's lands. "This is as far as I go." Gilli said turning to face the group. Arthur nodded. "When I am king, please come again, and I can promise that no harm will come to you."

"Thank you." Gilli nodded. He shared and friendly hug with Merlin and smiled at his friend. "You were right Merlin. Maybe I do have a purpose after all."

Merlin shared a smile with his friend and the the two went separate ways.

Freya and Merlin held hands all the way back.

One month later

It was a day of celebration. A wedding was going on that day. Merlin and Freya were to be united.

It was quite, with only Merlin's closest friends and the two were married by the lake of Avalon and Freya wore some wildflowers around her head.

The time of the future king had come. And Arthur knew as he watched his friend be joined with Freya, that his time was not far to come. He thought of Gwen and the two shared a smile. Soon, he thought to himself. Very soon...

The End

Hope the ending wasn't too abrupt and thank you to all of the reviews! BTW just because this is the last chapter doesn't mean it doesn't deserve reviews so please review!
