I am so sorry that this chapter has taken so long to get to you guys. I have had a massive amount of mock exams for the past month and they will soon be over. Here is the next chapter, its short but I still hope you enjoy it.
Chapter 14
Liana glanced over to Merlin, who was still unconscious. What have they given you? She thought to herself. Her legs were in pain because she had been sat on the floor for so long.
The cell that she and Merlin was in wasn't the biggest in the world, but at least it had a window (kind of). Above Merlin, there was a small square gap in the wall barred by metal. Liana had already tried magic to move them, but she failed.
She naturally assumed that something was blocking her magic. And it must have strong because Merlin had been here for two days and hadn't escaped – and his power was ten times more powerful than Liana's.
She had been sat in the cell for a few hours in silence. At least until two big, bulking men stormed into the room and dragged her from it. They guided her through long dark corridors, and down a vast amount of stairs.
The two thugs finally threw her through a narrow doorway leading into a courtyard. She landed hard on the gravelling dirt, some stuck to her clothes but she brushed it off.
"So!" bellowed Geren from a balcony a few feet from the ground. "You're witch then?"
"You could say that!" she replied.
"Then why are you living in Camelot?" he asked.
"What's it to you?"
"Fair point! Well, let's get down to business. How would you like to join me?"
"Seriously?" she asked, trying not to laugh.
"Yes. You have skills and Merlin will never betray Arthur, but you on the other hand…."
"Excuse me."
"Ive heard of you. Liana the runaway. Liana the witch. Liana the assassin."
She froze. How did he know about that? Her involvement in Morgana's assignation attempt was short-lived, how could anyone know? Unless….
"Yes, the Lady Morgana paid me a visit. She told me about you, and how you heartlessly helped Morgana in killing Arthur."
"Number One: I wasn't heartless. Number Two: Arthur is not dead. And number three, why the hell do you think I would ever … in a million years, help or even join you?" she cried.
"You do make a good point." He started to turn away from her, "Well, enjoy your new lodgings."
"WHAT?!" Liana cried, as the small doorway she had been thrown out of was closed shut.
She looked around her. She was in a small stone courtyard, with three crates in the left corner and small bucket with water in the other.
Liana shivered in the cold outside, and when she looked up, she saw a mass of black rainclouds heading her way.
