Disclaimer I do not own Merlin. Thank you all for the lovely reviews. Oh someone asked why I spell Morgana as Morganna. I always thought it had two n's in it as my friend's daughter spells her name that way. Again thanks for the reviews. (Oh and the Morganna I know is lovely btw, not like Morgana Pendragon!)

Eyes of A Child

"You say it ends now?" Morguse laughed as Gwen ignored her. She was more interested in what Morganna was doing. She could see Merlin was at a loss as to what to do. She was only glad Moira was in the Castle kitchens, away from what was undoubtably going to be a violent end to proceedings. Morganna stepped towards Gwen, slightly disturbed when the serving girl didn't move or even flinch.

"Gwen" Morganna sighed "Can't you see Uther and Arthur are no good for Camelot? Surely you must. Especially after what Uther did to your father"

"Two wrongs do not make a right" Gwen answered. She fought to remain still. It seemed behaving calmly was more disconcerting than anything else to the two women in front of her. Merlin stepped back as he tried to think what he could do to get help. He knew Morganna was dangerous. He also knew she had embraced the old religion. For a moment he prayed the others would find them.

Moira sat at the kitchen table. She was bored. She wanted to see what Gwen and Merlin were doing. There had been alot of shouting and now everything had gone quiet. She looked across at Sally who was chopping vegetables ready for the evening meal.

"You alright sweetheart?" Sally smiled.

Moira nodded and rested her head on her hands. "Tired"

"Why don't you go to your chambers? Have a little sleep? Everyone will be back soon" She smiled as Moira jumped off the stool and walked out the room. The Castle was a big place when you were only six years old but the giant stone walls and statues didn't scare her. Moira had learnt to walk in the Castle kitchens and had known Gwen all her life. She twirled her hair around her fingers as she walked along the corridors. She stopped in her tracks as she saw Gauis and Sir Leon walking towards her.

"Sir Leon" She ran up to him and pulled on his robes. Rolling his eyes he turned to the child.

"No more snowball fights today young lady?" He smiled kindly at her.

"No, but I know you are looking for Lady Morganna" She looked up at him. Her big brown eyes bored into his soul as she stood up as straight as she could.

"Do you little one?" Gaius smiled at her as she nodded. "Can you tell us where she is?"

"Yes" Moira rolled her eyes. "Merlin and Gwen are there too. So is a lady with long blonde hair, she was being mean to Merlin. Follow me" Moira turned on her heel and ran the length of the corridor as fast as her feet could carry her. Gaius shook his head slightly as Sir Leon shrugged and chased after her. He had no idea where the little girl would lead them too but he just prayed neither Morguse or Morganna realised there was a pint sized spy in Camelot. And that she was on Arthur's side.

Arthur was pleased he had won his joust but the pride he had at winning had long since passed. He knew he had a more pressing battle on his hands. Roaming the corridors of the Castle he felt sick at the sight before him. Elyan shook his head and swore as they neared the body of a dead serving girl and old man.

"We have to stop them" Gwauin glared as Arthur nodded.

"I don't understand it" Elyan knelt down and closed the dead woman's eyes. "We were friends as children. Remember Gwen and Morganna playing together as children? We were always teasing them. I think even then you had a thing for my sister Arthur" Elyan smiled at the memory as he stood and faced the prince. Arthur shrugged, surprised to see Gwauin whisper the Lord's Prayer as he covered the corpes in front of him.

"May God be with you" He muttered as he stood and turned to his friends.

"Gwauin?" Arthur frowned.

"A little respect" Gwauin sighed "I am not the barbarian you all take me for. I was raised in Camelot the same as you both. Gwen and Merlin are in trouble. Why are we stood here reminicing?" He turned and walked towards Morganna's former chambers. It was as good a place to start looking for the King's Ward as any.

"What can you possibly hope to gain from all this?" Merlin stared as Morguse walked towards him.

"Oh you couldn't even begin to imagine"

"Try me"

"Merlin, what could you know about the evil that we are trying to stop? You see Uther and Arthur as saints" Merlin raised his eyebrows.

"I can assure you I do not" Gwen remained silent next to him as Morguse shook her head at Merlin.

"Ainda ser silenciosa!" Morguse's eyes flashed gold as she pointed at Merlin. The young warlock flew back against the wall as Gwen turned to him. His eyes were wide in shock as he hit the wall. Gwen had seen Morguse use magick, the very thing her father had been executed for years before, even though he had known nothing of the old religion.

"What have you done to him?" Gwen stepped nearer to Merlin.

"He is not a problem for the time being. You on the other hand" Morguse stepped towards Gwen. Merlin wanted to run to her, to scream a warning but nothing would come out of his mouth. His arms and legs felt like led. He slumped to the floor, unable to do anything else. Gwen turned to face the witch at the last minute.

"Why?" She was more angry than she had ever remembered "I know Camelot is not perfect but it is better than many Kingdoms. Why are you doing this?"

"Uther is evil"

"No no he isnt. He is just a scared and confused old man. He doesnt see that times are changing. Thats all." Gwen didn't know why she was appealing to what little better nature the women in front of them had. Morganna sighed as she stepped towards her.

"Gwen, we were friends once. Then you spoilt it. You should never have seduced my brother"

"I haven't seduced anyone" Gwen glared.

"Yes, yes you have" Morganna sighed. "Maybe that was not your intention but seduce him is what you have done"

"Morganna this is ridiculous"

Outside the room Moira was hunched on the floor with Sir Leon next to her. She was frowning as she stepped out the way to let him look through the small gap in the wooden door.

"See?" She whispered as Sir Leon nodded. "What does seduce mean?"

"I'll tell you when you are the same age as Gwen. Or rather your husband will" He smiled as Moira wrinkled her nose.

"Husband? Not having one of them. Too much trouble my mum says" Sir Leon shook his head. It seemed Anwen had had her fair share of trouble where men were concerned. Moira sat on the floor as Sir Leon continued to listen. It was then he realised Merlin was incapacitated and Gwen was in serious danger of being killed.

"Moira, can you do something for me please? It's very important"

The little girl nodded as she got to her feet. The way Sir Leon had spoke made her think he was sending her on a very important mission.

"Good. Go as fast as you can and find Arthur, Gwain and Elyan. Can you do that?"

"Yes" She bit her bottom lip "Will you be ok?"

Sir Leon couldn't help but smile as he nodded. He was not used to having anyone worry about him, never mind a child who had only hours ago been terrified of him. "Yes Moira now please, as fast as you can" Moira pushed her messy plaits out of her face and kissed him on the cheek.

"Be careful Sire" She whispered before running back in to the bowels of the Castle.

Arthur had lived in the Castle all his life. He knew every brick of it. The fact that now innocent people had died within it's stone walls made him feel like an alien in his own home. He clenched his jaw as he prayed he was not too late to help Merlin and Gwen. It was then he saw the little girl from earlier running towards them and straight into Elyan.

"You have to come now"

"Moira? Where's your mum?" Elyan asked.

"Oh I dunno." Moira shrugged "Not worried about that now. You have to come Morganna has Gwen and Merlin and Merlin is on the floor and isn't getting up and Gwen is trying to make them be slow but she can't and the woman with the blonde hair is saying strange words I dunno and Sir Leon is outside and we need to make you get to them before they make Merlin and Gwen be dead!" The words spilled out of her mouth as she began crying "I dont want Merlin and Gwen to be dead" The tears ran down her face as she met Arthur's eyes. He knelt down to her and scooped her up in his arms.

"No neither do I" He smiled as she hugged him.

"You have to come with me now" She squirmed as he put her back on her feet.

"Lead the way My Lady" Gwain smiled as Moira sighed in relief. She nodded and ran back towards the chambers as Arthur fought the stab of fear Moira's jumbled up and childish explaination had stirred in his heart. All three men ran after the six year old as she flew up the steps in front of them. A blinding yellow light appeared in the doorway of the chambers as they reached it. Moira screamed and fell backwards as Elyan scooped her back on her feet.

"GWEN!" Arthur screamed as they ran through the destroyed oak door. Merlin moaned in the corner as Sir Leon helped him to his feet.

"It's ok" Gwen sighed as she rested her head against the stone wall of the castle. She was covered in soot and her breathing was heavy, as if she was struggling to get air in to her lungs.

"Where is she?" Gwain drew his sword as he looked around the chambers. Merlin rubbed his hand across his face.

"Gone"

"What do you mean gone?" Arthur knelt in front of Gwen and brushed her hair back from her face.

"Gone" Gwen repeated Merlin's words.

He stood and looked around the room as Uther and Gaius arrived. Both older men stood in the doorway of the chambers as Moira ran to Gaius. She hugged his leg as she hid her face in his robes. The King glanced down at his son before closing his eyes.

"They were here"

"Yes Sire" Gwen answered as she carefully got to her feet.

"Where are they now?"

"They" Gwen rested her head against the wall as Arthur began to worry about her "I don't know. I don't remember. We argued. I told her this had to end now. Then Merlin was hurt and I don't know. I just dont know what happened after that" She held Arthur's gaze as she spoke.

"What do you have to say about all this Merlin?" Gaius looked at the young warlock.

"Morguse paralysed me" He narrowed his eyes "I dont know how. I couldn't move. I could hear and see everything but it was like I was locked in a body that wouldn't work"

"She's going to come back" Gwen closed her eyes as she leant against the wall.

"What do we do in the meantime?" Gaius shrugged as Elyan spoke up.

"We wait" Arthur sighed "We get ready for her and we wait until then"

"Until then" Gwen stood and stared at him.

A/N Thats all folks. I know it's a funny ending but there will be a sequel if anyone is interested :D Please review.
