Another shortish chapter... :\ But at least I updated on time! :D Thank you Dawn Ruthless, eddd12345, and Illuminatus666 for your reviews! They were so nice! :D Sorry that this chapter is so short, but I had a very busy week. Hope you enjoy this chapter!

Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Merlin. :( If I did- then this story would be happening, I wouldn't have to write this stupid disclaimer, it would be more for teens then kids, Merlin and Morgana would have A LOT more sexual tension, Uther wouldn't be dead because I love Anthony Head (Giles, anyone?), Gwaine would have a lot more scenes, the things that could've happened between Merlin/Morgana in 4x06 (smiles evilly), Morgana would've learned about Merlin's magic long ago, there would be more badass girls (that stay in every episode) in MERLIN, and there would be more hilarious Merthur moments... ;)

After relaxing Morgana, Merlin knew they needed to find Arthur. And fast. He pressed his already bloody neckerchief against the wound to slow the bleeding. She was unconscious.

He went to get food, but he was careful to have her never out of his sight. Food would at least make her a bit stronger. He wondered why his healing spell didn't work. He could understand if it didn't work in the first place, but for it to fail after it worked? That has never happened before. He made a mental note to ask Kilgarrah when he got the chance. Not now though. The dragon would probably kill Morgana on the spot, and then him when he realized she discovered his magic by being healed.

"I thought you said we don't have time for food," Morgana said softly.

Merlin smiled slightly, glad she was awake. "Well, your injury called for special needs."

She let out a small laugh. "It's not that bad!"

"Mhm? Then why were you screaming earlier?"

"I wasn't screaming! More like moaning in pain," she protested.

"You need to rest. You lost too much blood."

"To hell with resting!" she yelled as she stood up, but Merlin just pushed her back down. "I thought your spell was supposed to work," she pouted. He handed her a meal's worth of food.

"It was. I'm still trying to figure out why and how it undid itself..."

Morgana laid on ground, eating the food he had just given her and looked up at the clouds. She lifted her hand and her eyes started to glow. Merlin ran to her and slapped her hand down, making her eyes go back to its normal emerald color. "I said you can't over exert yourself!"

She made a pouting face. "You're no fun!"

He smirked. "I am when your life isn't in danger!"

"Come here," she commanded, indicating with her finger for him to come closer. He kneed by her.

But before she had a chance to try anything, Merlin scooped her slim body into his arms and stood up. "Now lets go find Arthur."

Morgana wrapped her arms around his neck in fear of being dropped.

They walked on. After a bit, she had fallen asleep. They were almost to the area by the river where they saw Arthur last.

'Just over this hill,' he thought to himself.

When he reached the top of the hill, he partially rejoiced. There were many bodies scattered, but none seemed to be Arthur's and there were still knights camping. He practically ran with Morgana in his arms to them.

Sir Leon was the first to see him. "Merlin!" he smiled. His face fell quickly when he saw the limp body in Merlin's arms.

"She was stabbed by one of the bandits. I did the best I could but we need Gaius," he explained to him. Sir Leon nodded and directed him to a tent, the one Arthur usually had. He walked in.

"Merlin, I thought I told you to meet us at Cam-" he stopped abruptly with his eyes wide. "Morgana," he whispered. "Is she...?"

"Not yet, but she will be if she doesn't get medical attention."

"Tell me everything. Now!" the prince commanded.

"Well, she got stabbed by a bandit. We were both too busy running away to notice. I saw it and tried to heal it. Then she just..." he broke off. He was trying to tell the truth without telling about his magic.

Arthur nodded in understanding.

"Where's the King?" Merlin asked.

"The knights took him to Camelot right as the bandits attacked so he wouldn't be in any trouble."

Arthur had him stay with Morgana because he was Gaius's ward, so he would be able to help her if something went wrong.

'If it involves science, I'm doomed,' he snorted.

Morgana felt her breathing slow. She knew she was dying. And this time, she didn't have Merlin's magic to save her. She felt weak.

Damn.

She should've listened to Merlin when he said she needed to rest. She felt fine then though, thanks to his pain relief spell. That healing spell worked. But it wasn't a true healing spell. She sighed tiredly, still appearing to be asleep.

Someone fussed around her. They held her hand, straitened the bed she was in, and pushed all her hair out of her face.

"Please Morgana, stay safe," she heard a voice say while they lifted her hand and placed a small kiss on it.

She sighed again, slowly opening her eyes to see the regular blue and red colors she knew all too well. "Merlin."

He gave her one of his gorgeous grins and gripped her hand tighter.

"Don't leave," she whispered desperately. She honestly didn't know how they got from mortal enemies to lovers in less than a day. She didn't care much, though.

"I'm not going anywhere."

She smiled and fell back asleep. She knew she could count on him to save her.

I have the next few chapters planned out, and when they are updated, you'll all probably kill me! :P So I am going to say in advance, nothing is as it seems! But don't worry, this story will have a ton of chapters before it's actually finished. But after you will kill me, you'll read the next chapter and love me again. ;) Please review! And remember the next update is on Monday!
