The scones were left undisturbed on the table. The tea was getting cold. The crowd had started to move away. Why weren't they moving? Why weren't they sitting down to have the tea?

"Oh yeah, the gun." Arthur thought as he felt the gun being pressed further against his temple. He was in shock; surprisingly he never expected this to happen. He looked Merlin straight in the eye. He was looking scared, which helped, it meant that Arthur knew how he was meant to be feeling.

"Emrys. Tell us the truth. Tell us who you are!" Mordred shouted. Arthur thought about this and realised that Merlin probably knew this guy. This was confusing, but Arthur didn't want to deal with that at the moment so he focussed on Merlin's face and the words coming out.

"Mordred." The person's name, Arthur guessed, "Stop this. You don't need to do this. I can help you. We can get through this." Suddenly Arthur felt a pang of anger inside. What had his idiot of a fiancé gotten himself into? He looked so worried and surprised. All Arthur could feel was numbness.

"It is inevitable Emrys." Arthur didn't like the sound of that. "Either you tell him, or I'm just going to kill him anyway. It is the only way I can do things." "Kill me?" Arthur thought, "What is this bastard talking about?"

"Mordred. I can help you to forget. Just, just put the gun down." Merlin was trying to stop him, but Arthur could feel the gun being pressed closer and closer. He had a feeling that there was screaming going on around them now and people running, but that could have been him daydreaming. He wasn't sure any more. One minute he was doing something that seemed like a fantasy, now he was doing something that seemed like a nightmare.

"No!" Mordred shouted, though Arthur was still alive so obviously it hadn't made him push the trigger, "Forgetting won't help me! The only thing that would help me is if you figured out a way to stop the loop. To make it so that I wouldn't be in this situation after each loop. You managed to save Morgana didn't you? Isn't there a way for me?" Arthur was confused at to what his sister had to do with this, but Merlin seemed to understand but it just made him look sadder.

"Morgana was someone I was able to save. She realised what was happening and chose a different life. She was allowed that because she only became Arthur's enemy due to a large number of random events. Mordred…you are prophesised to kill Arthur. I hate to say it but you don't have a choice. You will always do the wrong thing because the story must always have an ending for it to have a meaning." Merlin was explaining things, but this just made Arthur more confused, "But now is not the time. You have to stop this now!"

"No! Not good enough Emrys. Not good enough!" Arthur could hear Mordred's finger press towards the trigger. He then felt something explode in him. The numbness faded away and he was filled with instinct. He hit Mordred's arm, surprising him causing the gun to go flying into the air. He then pulled Mordred into a throw and chucked him over his head and slammed him onto the ground infront of him. He pinned him down and grabbed the gun just before it landed on the ground. He quickly disarmed it and then pushed it away from them.

The three looked surprised, Arthur especially so, "How did I do that?" He asked. Mordred smirked. At this point the police arrived. The pushed Arthur aside and grabbed Mordred, quickly handcuffing him. They walked with him over to one of the cars that had gathered together and they were talking a lot. But Arthur was just focussed on Mordred.

Merlin ran over to Arthur and hugged him tighter than he ever had before. He never expected Mordred would do this so quickly. He should have expected it, it was just the sort of thing he would do, but Merlin wanted more time with Arthur, so he never thought about the scenario. He held onto Arthur for a long time, happy to have him safe with him.

Mordred was being helped down to the car, and Merlin thought it was over. But he then saw his eyes glow. Suddenly the police were thrown back into the air and Mordred was free. Merlin saw the car falling down towards civilians who hadn't made their way away yet and quickly held his hand out towards it, doing so allowed him to use magic pushing the car up and onto the roof of one of the buildings, and more importantly away from everyone else. Mordred then ran over towards Arthur. Merlin quickly changed his position so he was standing between the two of them. He readied to blast Mordred away, but then Mordred stopped and was laughing. Merlin then felt something click inside of him, he knew what Mordred was planning, and there was no way that he could stop him. There was nothing he could do.

"Arthur! Make him tell you about Camlann!" Mordred called out.

Suddenly there was a noise like a plane lifting off and Mordred crumpled onto the ground. Blood started to flow out around him from where the sniper's bullet had pierced through him. Mordred made no more noise, but Merlin knew that it was finished. Arthur and Mordred always killed each other, which mean that Arthur was now dead. He knew it was the end.

Arthur had a headache. The words echoed in his head and he was seeing things, visions, memories? He was standing with a sword impaled into him from the same man who now lay dead infront of him. He had a sword too, which had blood all over it. Mordred's blood. Arthur fell backwards as he went unconscious.

Merlin sat down next to him as tears started to roll down his face. They couldn't be here now. He looked up at the sky and made a noise that sounded like a roar, the two then disappeared from the square leaving people amazed once more.

The police tried to find them after that, but they were never going to be successful. Merlin wasn't going to let them be found by anyone. He dangled his legs into the lake of Avalon, as Arthur lay unconscious next to him as the burnt orange leaves fell down from the trees in the twilit sky.
