AN - Even though Mordred made some really really REALLY stupid choices, I loved the idea of him and Kara...
A Heart Torn in Two
"Kara, I can't believe you're really here. In Camelot!" Mordred exclaimed, beaming. Kara smiled. "I can't believe it myself."
Mordred brushed a few twigs out of the way and helped her sit down. She winced and he immediately felt a pang of worry in his stomach. "Oh Kara, I'm so sorry."
She ignored the statement, instead, staring at his brilliant red cape, a golden dragon etched on it. "A knight of Camelot, Mordred?" Kara said disbelievingly. "You're a Druid. A person of magic, in Camelot!"
The young man shrugged sheepishly. "So?" He gently played with a loose piece of her flowing hair.
This earned a well-timed eye roll from the girl. "So, you shouldn't even live in the city, let alone be a knight. What if Arthur discovered your abilities?"
"Well, he hasn't, has he?"
"If he did, you'd be dead." she snapped, wincing in pain as she did so. Mordred's face transformed into one of worry. "I'll get some medicine for you!"
She grabbed his wrist. "It's much too risky, Mordred. Please, come with me."
"Where?"
"Home, back to the Druid lands."
Mordred gave her a stern look. "Kara. I am home. It's here, in Camelot."
"I am not the evil one here, don't place your blame on me. It's Arthur. He's been poisoned by his father with ideas that are wrong. Magic is not the evil either."
"I know that, but I can't leave, Kara. I'm sorry." He squeezed her hand gently before departing.
