Chapter 7:

Ironically, it was at the darkest hour of the night when Merlin once more heard the flapping of wings. He had spent the past hours just sitting on the ground, waiting patiently, mind blank of any thoughts, body numb. It felt like all his previous feelings had been locked away leaving him only numb. He was grateful for it.

He stood up to greet the white dragon coming his way. Once it had landed, Aithusa explained him that she had healed Morgana but also implanted the idea that she had to come here. Therefore she was on her way and would probably be there at dawn. Merlin thanked her once again then sent the young dragon back to Kilgarrah. This time he didn't sit back but just stood silently, waiting for Morgana to come to him. Somewhere in the back of his mind a voice kept telling him that what he was doing wasn't right but he kept ignoring it.


The sun was beginning to rise when he heard the sound of leaves being crushed underfoot. Only seconds later and Morgana appeared before him in her black dress. Her eyes scanned the clearing before stopping on him. She seemed confused for a long time before she settled on barking a laugh.

"Merlin" She exclaimed when she had recovered, coming closer to him without being afraid. He didn't answer her. "What are you doing here?"

"I was waiting for you actually." He replied, his voice low and calm.

"Waiting for me? And what for?"

"To kill you." There Morgana laughed again and Merlin let her as she watched mockingly to see if he had a weapon.

"You? Kill me? With what weapon? You're only a useless servant Merlin." She said disdainfully.

Merlin watched her snigger a bit more but as she made her way to turn around and leave he threw up his arm and shouted a spell, efficiently freezing her in place. Her eyes widened comically as she watched his eyes go back to blue.

"You… You… You have magic." She sputtered, not unlike Agravaine.

"I was born with it." He announced her, not caring anymore if she knew his secret and relishing in the fear he saw in her eyes.

"No… No… You can't… You can't be him… You're just a servant." Moragana tried to deny without managing to keep the fear out of her voice.

"Keep telling yourself that if it helps you Morgana, it will not change the fact that I am Emrys."

He let silence fall as he approached her, watching denial and fear warring in her eyes. He only felt anger towards her now. And it was burning through his veins like fire, forcing all other thoughts from his mind.

"Maybe you need a little proof, don't you, Morgana?" He asked rhetorically and, without waiting for her answer, let his eyes burn gold and the power flow through him. A second later there was a dagger in his hand. He pressed it up against her throat. He watched her struggle but kept the magic stopping her from moving firmly in place.

"You… You can't do that Merlin. You can't kill me like this" She told him and, when he looked in her eyes he could see the old Morgana. It made the knife waver in his hand. And he took a step back, letting it fall to the ground with a little sound.

He turned his back to her and took a deep breath. He culdn't let his resolve crumble but yet, that voice in his head was back once more, telling him that he knew it was wrong to kill her like that.

"You see. You may be Emrys but you're still weak." The voice of Morgana cut through him like a knife and his anger flared back once more, making the spell around Morgana tighten. She gave a little cry before she didn't have enough air to do even that. Merlin turned back to her, his eyes dark, watching her choke.

"Don't ever underestimate me Morgana. You killed too many of my friends for me to let you live."

He slowly raised his hand to tighten his spell even more to kill her when a voice resonated around the clearing.

"Merlin! What are you doing? Stop it!"

He ignored it and suddenly Gwaine was before him, blocking his view of Morgana.

"Merlin! This isn't you! Stop it! Stop it now!" He exclaimed once more, turning to see that the witch behind him was already unconscious.

"But she killed Gaius, Gwaine, and she forced Lancelot to sacrifice himself then made him come back from the dead. She had hurt so many people! She deserves to die!"

"I know what she did Merlin. I know and I promise you she will be punished for it but it's not up to you to do it. Stop the spell. Now."

Merlin hesitated a bit more than sighed and dropped his hand and the spell. He heard Morgana's body hit the ground and the sound seemed to shake him from his daze. He took a step backward, suddenly comprehending what he had been about to do. He felt sick and quickly put a hand at his mouth.

"What have I done, Gwaine?" He cried and let himself fall to the ground only to be caught by his friend.

"Nothing my friend. It's okay. You were only trying to get better. It's alright."

"No! It's not! I tried to kill someone! Oh my god, Gwaine!"

"Shhh Merlin, she's not dead okay. You didn't kill Morgana. She's just unconscious. We're going to take her to Camelot. Can you just make sure she won't wake up during that time? We don't want her to suddenly get up and flee, dot we?" Gwaine questioned trying to get Merlin to focus on him and not go back into shock.

With some difficulties, Merlin managed to nod. He was visibly shaking all over when he raised his hand to put a sleep spell on Morgana. He was glad Gwaine chose to ignore it, instead getting to his feet.

"You think you can walk?" He asked Merlin. Merlin thought about it before nodding slowly, nearly hesitantly, and Gwaine helped him up. He swayed slightly when he was upright and wrapped his arms around himself to try and stop his shakings.


Sooooo? How did it go? Did you like it? Oh please tell me, I'm always so worried about what you will think!

Now I still have the problem of the reveal. I still don't know what to do about it! I was writing this afternoon and found myself thinking that both a reveal and not a reveal would probably work and I don't know what to choose! It's frustrating!

Next update will probably mid-week as it is my birthday on Thursday and I will probably don't have time to post on Friday.

Anyway, I can't wait to here from you my lovely readers!
