Chapter 9: The Mark of Nimueh Part 2
Gwen and I were thrown onto the hard ground of the dungeon cell. They then chained us up. Gwen and I comforted each other until Morgana came to the cell door.
"Gwen? Corina?" Morgana called. We both stood up and tried to walk to her but we didn't get very close.
"Morgana!" we both said together.
"I tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't listen. I'm so sorry." Morgana said. Tears wielded in my eyes.
"Morgana, you did what you could." Gwen said.
"It wasn't good enough though." Morgana scoffed.
"Morgana we love that you tried, and that's all we could ever ask for." I said. Tears were visible in Morgana's eyes and Gwen and I just gave her a fake smile. She then turned and fled from the cell. Gwen turned around and lay down, falling asleep almost instantly. I was about to do the same when Jacob, Brianna, and Merlin came to the cell door. I put a figure to my lips and then pointed at Gwen. They nodded in understanding.
"Corina?" Brianna whispered. I smiled at her.
"I'm here, Brianna." I whispered back.
"I'm so sorry." Merlin whispered.
"Merlin you did what you thought was right and for that I thank you." I whisper.
"But now you're going to pay for it." Merlin whispered in frustration.
"It's alright. Don't worry about me. There's no point crying about it." I whisper sadly.
"It's not alright!" Jacob yelled softly.
"I know it's not and I know you are going to try and free me. All I ask is that I be part of it." I whisper.
"There is a way." Merlin said. "It involves my gift. What you do is you think about one of us and if we are thinking of you, you can see through our eyes."
"You can use my eyes." Brianna suggests. I nod.
"Ok and if it is to late please do me one favor." I said. "Remember me, remember us."
"You're not going to die." Brianna yelled. Gwen woke up startled.
"Hi guys, my guess are that you told them of our wish." Gwen said. I nod. She smiles a little and we look at my family, Merlin included. They then disappeared from the cell. I then turned to Gwen and she just nodded.
"Let's get rest." I suggest.
"Ok." She answers and with that we both fall asleep, but while Gwen goes to the land of dreams. I go to into my sister's head.
It was strange. Being able to see but not actually be there. Brianna was walking with Merlin and Jacob, but I couldn't see where they were going. Then they burst into the council chambers.
"It was me! It was me who used magic to cure Gwen's father and my sister!" Jacob shouted. I almost died right there.
"Jacob are you mad!" Gaius says standing up.
"I cannot let them die for me." Jacob said. He then turns to Uther, "I place myself at your mercy."
"He doesn't know what he's talking about." Merlin blurts out. Brianna/me grabs Merlin's hand and nods in agreement.
"I do." Jacob said.
"Then arrest him." Uther says. The guards come forward and grab Jacob. Just then Arthur stands up. I didn't even know he was in the room.
"Father I cannot allow this. There is no way that Jacob is a sorcerer." Arthur said.
"Did you not hear him?" Uther asked irritated.
"Yes." Arthur said.
"He admitted it." Uther said.
"Jacob tried to save my life when Valliant was using magic." Arthur retorted.
"Why should he fabricate such a story?" Uther demanded.
"As Gaius said, he's got a...grave mental disease." Arthur said.
"Really?" Uther asked in surprise.
"He's in love."
"What?" Jacob asks.
"With Gwen." Arthur finished. Uther grinned at Jacob which made me want to throw up.
"I am not." Jacob retorts.
"Yes, you are." Arthur counters.
"No way!" Jacob yells.
"I saw yesterday with that flower she'd given you." Arthur said. I smiled at the memory. I had a small hint that Gwen liked my little brother.
"I'm not in love with her!" Jacob yelled. I saw Arthur come up and put an arm around Jacob.
"It's alright. You can admit it." Arthur says.
"I don't even think of her like that!" Jacob countered.
"Perhaps she cast a spell on you." Uther says. I see Arthur's and Jacob's eyes widen in horror. Uther then begins to laugh causing everyone to relax.
"Jacob is a wonder, but the wonder is that he's such an idiot. There's no way he's a sorcerer." Arthur says smiling.
"Don't waste my time again. Let him go." Uther says. They let Jacob go and he leaves the room Brianna and Merlin follow him.
"Arthur's the idiot." Jacob says as the three of them walk into Gaius's chambers.
"No. He was right to do what he did. And, thankfully, he saved you from your own stupidity." Gaius says coming in.
"What else could he do? Our sister and Gwen are going to die." Brianna says.
"Yes, but you don't prove her innocence by offering to jump into the flames. You do it by finding out what's causing the disease!" Gaius says.
"Well, whatever it is one thing's for sure: Arthur isn't going to find it. He thinks he is so sharp!" Jacob yells angry.
"Sometimes they're pretty hard to spot." Gaius offers.
"Well, maybe I should go around wearing a pointy hat." Merlin says. "That way Uther could tell!"
"I don't think you'll find one big enough. Anyway, forget that. If we're going to save Gwen and Corina, we have to find out what's contaminating the water." Gaius says. Everyone laughed at the first bit but grew silent at his last words. I hope they find it in time, I think to myself.
