"Good morning Merlin how are you" we heard someone say and the door flew open. We quickly separated and there stood Arthur. He froze on his place. His expression was one of disbelieve. Suddenly my mind started working again and scary thoughts flooded my mind. Now everything became more complicated than just a secret forbidden love.
"Arthur I…" Merlin started.
"Don't! I trusted you with my own life and you snog my sister?"
"Arthur it's not how you think it is." I said.
"I think it is exactly what it looks like. GUARDS!" he screamed.
Moments after that the guards came into the room running, and following Arthur's command, they arrested Merlin.
"No! Let him go! Arthur I can explain." I protested.
"You will but in front of our father." Arthur said.
I couldn't protest to that. Before I knew it a guard came and literally dragged me down the long cold hallway to the great hall.
"What is this? Why is Merlin arrested?" Uther asked.
"She said she can explain. Morgana?" Arthur said and looked at me.
I looked sharply at the guard and he let go of my hand. "It is not what it looks like." I started. "Me and Merlin…we have a very close friendship…"
"Friendship? He was kissing Morgana like no one could touch them." Arthur said.
"What? Throw him in the dungeon until I decide what to do with him." Uther said. "Morgana have you lost your mind."
"Maybe I have. I will never ever forgive if something happens to Merlin. You took my father away from me. I will not let you do that with the man I love. Being my biological parent does not make you a father. Not to me!" I said and stormed out of the hall.
I ran to my chambers and locked the door behind me. How he could do that to me. Merlin did not do anything wrong. What did I do to deserve to have everyone I love taken away from me? What will happen to Merlin now? I had to do something to help him. He saved me countless times. I owed it to him.
I decided to wait for the nightfall and then go down to the dungeons and try to help him escape. In my mind it looked like a great plan. Well it was really that good. When everyone seemed asleep I decided to act. I quietly went down to the dungeons, trying not to be caught. As usual the guards there were drinking wine and talking about women. They never do anything other than that. I murmured a spell under my breath and they immediately fell down asleep.
"Merlin" I whispered while I was unlocking the door.
"What are you doing here Morgana? They will kill you if they catch you. They will kill both of us." He said
"I couldn't leave you Merlin. You saved me so many times. Now it's my time to do it." I said with tears streaming down my face. I kissed him so very lightly on lips "Go!"
"Come with me Morgana. This is our only chance. Run away with me." He said.
I sounded like heaven to me. I didn't think twice. He took my hand and we took off running down the tunnels to escape the castle. I was ready to surrender everything because my everything was holding me by the hand. Though the fate had other plans for us.
"Are you going somewhere?" Arthur said standing in front of us with his hands on his chest just as we were trying to remove the grid and escape once and for all.
