I see a bad moon rising.

I see trouble on the way.

I see earthquakes and lightnin'.

I see bad times today.

Don't go around tonight,

Well it's bound to take your life,

There's a bad moon on the rise.

I hear hurricanes a blowing.

I know the end is coming soon.

I fear rivers over flowing.

I hear the voice of rage and ruin.

-Creedence Clearwater Revival Bad Moon Rising

Morgana watched as the girl held his hand and dragged him to the water. Arthur didn't question the strange act, just followed her with a blank expression. The lady of Camelot did not yet know what to think of this strange dream.

Morgana watched as the girl slowly lowered Arthur into the water, she wanted to run and pull him out, but she was forced to stay still. So she screamed for Arthur to wake up from whatever trance he's in.

Morgana cried as she watched Arthur drown, as she watched the girl say some words in an enchantment.

Morgana woke up screaming with tears in her eyes.

Arthur slinked through the forest gracefully, not making a sound, he was the perfect hunter, he was-

CRASH!

He turned to his manservant angrily. And Merlin gave him a questioning look, "What is it?"

Arthur scoffed still keeping his voice low, "You really are a total buffoon aren't you Merlin?

Merlin had the gall to look like he was the victim, when this was his hunting trip.

Merlin responded, "I was just asking."

"Who? Me or the deer? We're supposed to be hunting. It requires speed, stealth, and an agile mind."

"So you're able to get two out of three, then?"

Arthur opened his mouth to retort, but a woman's screaming stopped him.

Merlin looked towards it, "What was that?"

"Quiet."

"Help!"

Arthur moved grabbing his sword from Merlin and heading to the screaming.

"No, no, I beg you have mercy!"

The bandit sneered, "Give us some money!"

Arthur burst onto the scene shooting one of the bandits. Then another charged at him sword up, screaming, Arthur dodged him then ran him through. Arthur went forward to the one closest to the family and thrust, but he blocked it. Another bandit tried sneaking up on Arthur as he fought the other but Merlin made the tree branch fall on top of him as Arthur killed the man he was fighting.

The last bandit ran the moment Arthur's eyes fell on him.

Arthur looked at the tree, "Huh. What luck."

Merlin yelled after the last bandit, "And let that be a lesson to you!"

Arthur gave Merlin an annoyed look.

"What? I was covering your back."

"Make sure you put her in a decent room."

Merlin, with a knowing smile said, "The one next door's empty."

"The one next door's fine. Excellent, in fact, "he paused for a moment, "Shut up Merlin."

"What? I didn't say anything."

"You didn't have to. I want to make it cleat that my intentions towards Sophia are completely honorable. Put her in the room on the other side of the castle. It's warmer, more comfortable."

"Of course. She… is very beautiful."

Arthur nodded, "Yes, she is."

Merlin's smile had slowly turned into a smirk, "And if your intentions are honorable…"

"Oh, they are. Most definitely."

"Then what's the problem with her staying next door?"

Arthur, who had been looking away from Merlin this whole time, looked towards him and found a way too innocent expression. But…

"There isn't one. You've convinced me. Put her in the room next to mine."

Morgana entered Gaius's chamber's when he looked up she spoke, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you."

"Nonsense. I always have time for my favorite patient."

Gaius quickly kissed her cheek, when he pulled away her saw her look at his bench with concern "I'm sorry about the mess, most of it is Merlin's. If I'd known you were coming, I'd have tidied up in here."

"It's not that… it's just… your bench is on fire."

"My bench is on fire? What are you…," he turned to look, "My bench is on fire!"

Morgana saw a bucket, "Here."

Gaius took it and used tongs to put the flask into it.

He sighed then looked at her in his almost teasing manner, "You're always getting me into trouble. What brings you into this dark corner?"

"I had another dream."

Gaius sobered, "I see."

"I saw Arthur, he was drowning, and there was a women standing over him, watching him die. And she's here. In Camelot."

"The mind plays tricks. It borrows from everyday life and plays out its own fantasy."

"But I had this dream before I came to Camelot!"

"You must be mistaken."

Morgana shook her head, "No, I know what I saw. It was so real… so vivid. I saw him die. Gaius. She's going to kill him.

"These are just dreams Morgana. Nothing more. Are you taking the sleeping draught I made you?"

"It doesn't help."

"Here try this. It will induce a deeper sleep."

He gave her the bottle, "You've nothing to fear."

"Thank you Gaius."

Before she left Gaius said one more thing, "Morgana. Don't bother Uther with this. No need to worry him.

()()()()()()()()()()()

"You're sure it's her?"

"I could never forget that face."

Gwen looked at Morgana, worried, "You should speak to the king."

"And tell him what? That I can see the future?"

"If you think Arthur's life is in danger."

"You're his ward, he wouldn't harm you."

She snorted, "He hates magic more than he cares for me."

Gwen shook her head, "That's not true."

"Would you care to put it to the test."

"What else is there to do?"

"I'm going to have to stop her myself."

Uther looked at Merlin, "Where's my son?"

Merlin gulped before starting on his weak lie, "I'm not sure where he is. I, uh, I think there's been a mistake. But it's not his fault. Arthur's I mean."

"Stop gibbering and tell me where he is."

Merlin just started talking faster, "It's probably… No, it definitely my fault."

"Where is Arthur?"

"He's not here."

Uther growled in annoyance, "I can see that."

"Arthur wasn't sure of his orders, so he asked me to check with the guards to see if he was riding out this morning and.. well I may have forgot."

"You forgot?"

"I am sorry My Lord. I'm sure he would have been here had I told him."

"If this was a time of war, I would have you flogged."

Merlin looked at the king hopefully, "And since it's not we'll let it go just this once?"

Merlin looked down as tomatoes were being thrown at him.

Despite that however, he smiled, "I forgot how much fun this was."

Hey guys been awhile! Nice to uh I guess talk to everyone again. Would it be talking though? Maybe type to everyone again? I don't know. Anyway I did my first fight scene. Did you see it? I honestly didn't know what other authors were talking about when they said fight scenes were hard. And now I understand. Mine wasn't even that descriptive and I had a hard time with it. Fight scenes are really hard.

There was a lot of empahis on Morgana this episode due to the fact that she's coming into her magic. EEPP! So excited! But at the same time this is the part of the show that I hate the most. Not because it's the start of evil Morgana, but because of Gaius's responses to her budding magic. It always makes me so angry and while I love his character and what he does for Merlin, I just wish he did the same for Morgana. If not when she went to him, then later in the season. I know that it was needed for later plot points, but I don't think it should have been him to say it.

Anyway done with the rant.

Umm I guess the only thing left is the regular review (Which I would love) and follow stuff (I would also love that) soo review and stuff.

Bye!
