Your Promises, They Look Like Lies
Author's Note: I apologize for not updating a week and a few days, I have been very busy lately and it is hard to find the time to continue with my Fanfiction. The teaser trailer that is 7 seconds has finally been released for Merlin Series 4 and it looks completely epic. Morgana looks completely evil now and it looks as if there is no turning back now. Mordred is returning too and a new villian; Agravaine who is Arthur's Uncle and Ygraine's brother and makes a enemy of Gwen.
Previously, Nimueh and Morgana had met in the woods and Merlin knows that his time is running out slowly. Arthur will soon become King and when he does, he begins to dwell on his love for Gwen and decides that he wants to marry her which would make her Queen. When Arthur confindes in Merlin, what will his reaction be to this shocking alarm? In this story when Morgana revealed her true self to Uther and became Queen for a short period, it never happened. So, Morgana is evil but never revealed to anyone but only Gwen, Gaius and Merlin know of her wicked, scheming ways. Merlin shall die when it is all too late and Gwen is crowned Queen of Camelot, when Gwen sees Merlin at his breaking point she stabs him which everyone sees. There is then a unexpected twist.. Cruel? I know. :)
Chapter 10: The Echo Of Sins...
When Arthur had left Gaius chambers, Merlin slowly got up to make sure Arthur was far away from the room. As he did he saw that Arthur had made a turning on the right, Merlin then walked out of his chambers. He then heard laughing from the other end of the corridor, as he went around the corner to have a look who it was he saw Gwen and Arthur together; laughing. This was not a good sign at all, each day they became closer with one another. No matter what Merlin tried, he never succeeded, it just brought them closer.
"Merlin said that he wants to come along with us." Arthur spoke, at this Merlin perked up as he continued to listen to the conversation between the two.
"Merlin? But he can't! What if he gets attacked? He's still recovering!" Gwen's voice high pitched as she raised her hands in dissapproval.
Arthur did not reply as he stood the awkwardly.
"Arthur, don't tell me that you are letting him go on the hunt with us?" Gwen frowned, not very pleased at all.
"Well, there is nothing much I can do Gwen. He is refusing to stay here in Camelot and is eager to join us." Arthur defended.
"Yeah..I'm sure he is." Gwen mumbled under her breath.
"I must get going and make sure the Knights are ready." Arthur said as he broke the eery silence between them.
"Yes, of course." Gwen smiled as he leaned in a gave her a quick kiss as he left to go find the Knights.
Merlin then stepped out of the corner which Gwen saw from the very corner of her eye, "What are you doing?" Gwen's voice all over the place as her eyes widened; taking a few steps back.
"I don't want to harm him, Gwen." Merlin spoke softly; it had felt like ages since he had spoke in that tone towards her.
"I don't know what you mean." Gwen averted her gaze away from him as he stared at her, she could feel his eyes watching her.
He sighed deeply, "Let me explain it basic. I'm not trying to harm Arthur, that isn't my motive. In fact, my new target..is you."
He then rushed forward and gripped her wrist tightly, "I won't let you ruin Camelot and destroy Arthur."
Gwen struggled from his grip, "I-I would never..do anything to hurt Camelot or Arthur, I made a promise I would never do anything of the sort!" She protested.
Merlin laughed bitterly, "Your promises..they look like lies." And with that, Merlin let go of her wrist, smirking as he walked away.
Little did Merlin and Gwen know that Arthur heard every single word they spoke..
Merlin then walked out of the castle walls. As he was walking through the Training Grounds he saw Percival alone, sitting down silently.
Merlin then walked over to him and sat down beside him, "Everything alright?" He asked.
"Just..thinking." Percival replied slowly as he glanced at Merlin who sat beside him.
"Everytime I go into battle or see people fight, I always reflect back on the time when Cendred's army invaded my village..killing my family right before my eyes.." He continued, as his voice broke towards the end.
"I'm sorry to hear.." Those words were true, he knew what it was like to lose someone who was very dear to you. Such as Will, Freya and Balinor. Their deaths were tragic as Merlin watched them suffer through the pain as Merlin stood their helpless, there was nothing he could do to help them.
Will died saving Arthur's life.
Freya died when she was in her beast like form, attacked the Knights and Arthur stabbed her.
Balinor died when protecting his son when fighting Cendred's men.
They were then interupted by Arthur, "Percival, the Knights are ready in the Courtyard. Go with them. Merlin, we need to talk."
"Yes, Sire." Sir Percival nodded as he rose up and walked into the distance and into the Courtyard where Gwen, Sir Lancelot, Sir Gwaine, Sir Elyan and Sir Leon were.
"Sire? What is it?" Merlin asked softly.
Arthur's glare only hardened, "I heard every word."
"I don't understand, what are you-" Merlin was cut off by a cold laugh.
"Oh, don't make me laugh Merlin! I heard every word when you and Gwen were speaking earlier!"
Arthur then pinned Merlin against the wall, he was so fast that it took Merlin some time to process what was happening.
His eyes widened in fear as he saw the anger and rage in Arthur's eyes.
The look to kill..
