"Why are you still doing this?!" I exploded. After barging into Morgana's room at an unreasonable hour at night, I wanted an explanation. She looked over from her place by the window calmly, as if me bursting into her chambers was a common occurrence. Now that I think about it, it kind of is. She just raised an eyebrow at me and turned to look back out the window. My fists clenched at my sides as I seethed, angered at her ignoring me. With a flash of eyes she wouldn't see, I closed the door behind me. I walked up behind her silently and leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"What do you hope to achieve?" This time, I managed to surprise her and she jumped, instantly turning around and pushing me back. I just stepped back even closer, undeterred.
"Have I not showed you that we care? That I care?" I whispered. I could detect traces of hurt in my voice and I only hoped that she couldn't. It seemed she had though, because she looked up at me, that smirk once again crossing her face.
"Will you stop that?" I said in annoyance and the smirk dropped and her eyebrows came together. Obviously she didn't no what I was talking about. She probably didn't even realize she was doing it.
"Smirking." I elaborated. "It's ridiculous, the only expressions I ever see on your face nowadays are smirks and scowls. It doesn't suit you love." My voice was mocking and she crossed her arms angrily, the scowl on her face only proving my point.
"See?" I said in exasperation. Her lips twisted into a snarl.
'Shut up Merlin.' She thought.
"Make me." I replied without thinking, then my eyes widened. Her expression copied mine, although she was more shocked, than horrified as I was. A range of emotions crossed her face as she realized what this meant. Her gaze settled on furious.
'You bastard! You could have helped me!' She raged in my head, obviously having no trouble with her mind speech now.
The slap came out of nowhere and I flinched as I felt the blow across my cheek. Even more shocking was when I was pulled forward, Morgana kissing me again. I was too shocked to respond for a moment, but the second I did, I pulled her towards me and kissed her desperately. One hand slipped down the small of her back while the other moved up to rest in her hair. Warmth flooded through me but was gone again almost instantly. Another slap added to the remaining sting of the first one, and I was shoved away from Morgana once more. This was starting to become a habit.
'Get out.' She thought, but I could feel the conflict within her mind. I hesitated a moment and her face became like stone.
'GET OUT!' The scream tore through my mind and I winced, my hands flying to cover my ears, as if that would stop the screaming in my head. I was almost tripping over my feet in my haste to escape and I didn't even check to see if the coast was clear as I left. Luckily, there were no guards in the corridors outside her chambers. Even from outside the room, I could hear Morgana's internal fight, and how much my lies were hurting her. I hesitated again before making my decision. I abandoned her once, I wouldn't do it again.
Finally got a new chapter up. Zero reviews for the last chapter, I was really sad but I guess it was just a horrendously bad chapter or something. Let's hope that this one was better, and is worth a review or two. If not, thanks for reading anyway
