Sorry it took me so long to upload, it hasn't been letting me log on for the past couple days. Enjoy!

Merlin defiantly hadn't expected to see Arthur standing there, what would he do? Would he be mad at Merlin? Hate him even. Or would he stop them from going, obviously he was going to, no matter what Arthur might say or do, but it would be much easier to leave now and he didn't know how much time he might have.

"Arthur" Merlin said trying to explain.

"Don't say anything. I heard everything you said" He replied tonelessly. Then took a step closer to Merlin. "Do you swear what you are telling me is true."

"Yes, of course."

Arthur nodded "Right then, we should probably get going." He said, this time to everyone.

Merlin stood there, mouth open; he couldn't believe it, this defiantly hadn't been what he had expected, he thought Arthur would never forgive him.

Arthur couldn't think straight as they rode to save Morgana. If what Merlin was saying was true then all this time she had been innocent, but although, how could she be innocent if she had magic? He didn't understand, he never had, how the woman he had thought of as a sister since they were only children could be evil. He was angry at Merlin for keeping this from him, for not telling him sooner, maybe if he had then Morgana could have come back months ago and he would have her back. He wasn't doing this for Merlin, he wasn't even sure he could trust him anymore, but then again there was no reason to lie. But the main reason was if there was a chance in a million that all this was true, then he had to get her back.

These thoughts continued for hours before he realised they had reached Cendred's castle.

They dismounted their horses by the edge of the forest so they were still hidden from view from anyone in the castle. None of them knew how many men Morgueuse had; most of them had been killed after Merlin emptied the blood from the cup of life. But she could have obtained many more in the past months.

"Right, let's go over the plan again." Arthur said taking charge as usual- Morgana was his sister after all. The others gathered round making sure they all knew exactly what they were supposed to do. "I, Leon and Percival will go first, making sure the coast is clear then Elyan and Gwaine will take out the warning bell. Meanwhile, Merlin and Lancelot will go to the dungeons to rescue Morgana. Then you two" he said pointing at Lancelot and Merlin, "give us the signal and we all meet at the entrance of the dungeons, from there we will make it back here. Everyone clear on the plan?"

Everyone nodded and began to leave for the entrance of the tunnels where they were going to surprise their enemy. Hopefully they would be able to get in and out without drawing too much attention, especially if the warning bell was going to be taken out, unlike the last time.

Merlin was relived he was paired with Lancelot, that way if they saw Morgueuse then he could use his magic, although everyone had been okay about his relationship with Morgana, he didn't want to tell them about his magic just yet, that would be too much for one day.

The tunnels, which weren't very tall or wide so everyone had to go on their hands and knees one behind the other, were eerily quiet, and very dark.

"Ouch!" Gwaine had crawled into a wall which was strange because there had been about four people in front of him managing to pass that particular obstacle which wasn't too had to see.

Normally Merlin would laugh at his friend being an idiot, but he was too concerned about whether this was going to work, whether they were too late or if he and Lancelot had been wrong and she wasn't here at all.

"Shhh, Arthur's call came from the front of the line, they had reached the end of the tunnel and unfortunately there was guards by it, to make it even worse the tunnel had a gate on, it was unlocked but was very old and was in need of a good oil, meaning the squeak would draw attention to them, if they weren't in the tunnel then they could take them easily but it was too difficult to get out of, so by the time they managed to, the guards would have them surrounded.

"What do we do now" Leon who was behind Arthur asked.

It turned out they didn't need to do anything because a barrel at the other side of the room fell over completely on its own – as if by magic…

Arthur didn't have time to wonder about that strange spell of luck, he was out of the tunnels before the guards could unsheathe their swords, quickly followed by everyone else.

"Right, time to put the plan into action."

"Wait, I have an idea" Gwaine said.

About five minutes later Gwaine and Elyan had changed into the two guards uniforms. "Now it will be much easier to take the warning bell out, no one will suspect us." Gwaine said proudly to everyone.

"Ok, now we can go."

I know its not very good, I had trouble writing it. Review please :)
