I don't own Morgana, Or Merlin

Morgana watched as Hypatia greeted each member of the shore party, smiling and welcoming.

She seemed nice enough but there was something about her that Morgana didn't trust, and no it wasn't the way she kept glancing over at Merlin. For goodness sake he's just a friend, and Morgana will deny She feels any other way.

"Please come be my guest" Hypatia said

"We get so few visitors to the Island"

"How can we turn down such a lovely hostess" Captain Jahan said politely kissing her hand.

Morgana wasn't so sure but she didn't argue, She and Merlin shared a look of quiet concern. Someone or something had pulled the ship to the Island and neither of them understood why.

The group soon found them selves walking into a medium sized dinning hall. It wasn't as big as the dinning hall in Camelot but it was big enough. The room had tables set up in a circle with plates of fruits, Vegetables and fish on each of the tables. The corner's of the tables had small vases with a mix of flowers and jewelled sticks, the corners of the hall had small tables with slightly bigger versions of the vases from the dinning tables on them.

"come sit, I had my servants set up some food when I saw your ship had gotten stuck on the rocks" Hypatia said gesturing to the tables.

"you are to generous My Lady" Captain Jahan said

"this looks like a feast fit for a king"

Hypatia smiled shyly her cheeks blushing.

"I have been to feasts fit for a king. You are being to kind in your words Captain" She told him.

Merlin was slightly impressed the Captain wasn't far off in his assessment He had served at banquets set up for kings and this was something he wouldn't be surprised to see.

Soon everyone was seated, Morgana noticed that some how Merlin had ended up sitting close to Hypatia with only captain Jahan between them. The Captain was so entrance with Lady Hypatia He didn't notice that her eyes kept moving to Merlin. Taking in quick glances at him she smiled when ever he took a drink or spoke or laughed oh she just smiled at his every move. Okay maybe she was just smiling Morgana decided.

Morgana's attention was brought to the conversation the men at the table she was sitting at were having. She took a sip of her drink for the first time, she pulled the cup away from her mouth frowning at the strange taste. It was tangy yet sweet and there was a hint of something else Morgana couldn't place.

"excuse me" Morgana called one of the servants that were standing behind them over, The Servant silently stepped forward her eye respectfully cast down she moved to refill the cup.

"no thank you" Morgana said stopping her.

"I was just wondering if you could tell me what this is? I've not tasted anything like this before"

"the wine is made from sonno berries" The servant told her

"they are said to be unique to Persoisola"

"ah that must be why it taste funny to me" Morgana said

"thank you"

Taking Morgana's thanks as a dismissal the servant bowed slightly and stepped back to where she had been standing. As the dinner moved on Morgana noticed that she was feeling less and less concerned about the magic she and Merlin had felt earlier and relaxed. Morgana wondered for a second if she should be concerned that she was less concerned about what had brought them here.

Merlin listened to Jahan and Liax tell Hypatia stories of places they had sailed. Hypatia soon had Merlin telling her stories about himself. He told of the time when He and his friend Will had accidentally set there neighbours cow loose and when Arthur had taken him hunting for the first time.

Merlin took another sip of his drink, He look up to see Hypatia smiling at him. Something was off, He had expected to see the Captain's face between them or at least part of it. He looked down to see the Captain had fallen asleep on his plate.

"Captain?" Merlin said shaking the mans shoulder.

He didn't think the man was such a light weight when it came to wine. Heck He has seen the man drink almost five large mugs of ale with little to no ill effect.

"Liax, how much has the Captain had?"

Merlin started to ask but stopped when He saw Liax had passed out as well, He started to feel funny himself.

Morgana felt a buzzing in her head, Her vision started to cloud over and she found she was having trouble staying up right. She wondered what was wrong with her. She looked into the cup of wine sure she had only drank half of it. She gasped in surprise when the men on either side of her fell asleep their heads falling on the table.

She looked over to see Merlin shaking Captain Jahan's shoulder as he lay with his head mushing the fruit on his plate. Hypatia gracefully stood up as Merlin said something turning to Liax, then His eyes slowly closed and His head fell forward. It would have hit the table but for Hypatia catching his shoulder's and gently pulling him back on the chair. Morgana tried to stand up but found her legs wouldn't co-operate. She watched through blinking eyes as Hypatai smiled at Merlin gently caressing his face. She was saying something that Morgana couldn't make out, her lips seemed to be forming the words.

Come be with me, stay with me, mine.

Morgana tried to stand again, she tried to call out to him but she couldn't.

""Merlin, Merlin wake up"" Morgana telepathed trying to rouse him

""answer me, Merlin""

There was no response from Merlin as Hypatia called a couple of her servants over. She spoke the servants her hand still gently caressing Merlin's cheeks and moving to glide over his shoulders.

Morgana saw her smirk and gesture to the ships crew giving her servants instructions.

The last thing Morgana was before falling asleep was two large servants walking toward her blocking her view of Merlin.

Merlin groaned and rubbed his head, he wondered if anyone had seen the wagon that had hit him.

The first thing he registered was that He was laying on something cool and soft. He wondered what He was feeling as something gently touched his face gliding from his forehead down to his chin and then starting over. He could hear what sounded like a woman humming, and it did not sound like Morgana.

Confused Merlin slowly opened him eyes to find Lady Hypatia stroking his face looking down at him smiling lovingly. Her hand moved slowly and rhythmically as her eyes slowly moved up and down as she took in his whole body.

Merlin found that He was laying in a bed with his head being held on Hypatia's lap. What more was that some how he was without a shirt and Hypatia a changed into a soft coloured light silk dress.

"My Lady what?" Merlin tried to sit up but found his head was still heavy.

"slowly now My Amare" Hypatia said gently her eye looking into his when she saw he was awake.

Merlin sat up looking around the room, it wasn't small but it had a cozy relaxing feeling to it. Hypatia move closer behind him her hand moving up his back to his shoulders one hand slowly moving to encircle his chest as she rested her chin on his shoulder. Merlin blushed and moved away turning to get out of her hold and to face her, uncomfortable with the intimacy of Hypatia's touch.

Hypatia was disappointed that He was pulling away from her, She had enjoyed watching him sleep in her arms. She could see the innocence in his eyes when He turned to face her a light blush on his face. She smiled believing He was being shy. She could see He was powerful, but that didn't mean He was used to the attentions of a beautiful Woman, Perhaps Her concern that Morgana might be a problem were unfounded. The way they had kept glancing at each other during the dinner, although not always at the same time.

"what's going on?" Merlin asked

"where is everyone, what happened?"

Hypatia smiled looking into Merlin's eyes she raised her hand to stroke His cheek, Merlin caught her hand in his. She like the way his hand felt strong yet gently around hers.

"all is well my Amare" She told him her voice soft her eye looking into his softly.

"The sailors are sleeping as you were, I am sure they will wake soon."

Merlin let go of her hand and slowly stood up from the bed Hypatia followed his example standing as well.

"did, did you drug us?" He ask swaying a little before righting himself.

"not really" Hypatia

"but the berries that the wine was made has been know to have an effect on people who have not had it before, I meant no harm"

Merlin looked around the room, the room looked like a nobles sleeping chamber. He wondered why she had brought him here.

"where are the ships crew, and what have you done with Morgana?" Merlin asked turning back to Hypatia.

Hypatia frowned for a second at the mention of the only woman that had arrived on the Island with him. Then her face relaxed into the gently smile she had since He had woken up. Damn it she was not going to let jealousy ruin this. She slowly reached for him again this time as Merlin was once again looking around the room.

'where is the door?'

He didn't catch her hand before her fingers gently touched his cheek gliding so that her palm cupped his cheek, She stepped closer His eyes turned to her his hand reaching up to her wrist but not pulling her hand away. It was odd, He felt a strange sensation running through him, He wanted to step away from her but at the same time didn't want her to stop touching him. He noticed a sound coming from her smiling lips, those plump red soft lips, She was humming like she had been when He had woken up.

"you don't need to worry about them" Hypatia told him softly.

"you need not worry about anything"

"But, I, What do you mean. The ship, the wind, it was you?" Merlin didn't seem to be able to string together a coherent thought as Hypatia hummed looking into his eyes as one hand caressed his cheek and the other gently traced the muscles on his chest, her fingers skimming over the light scare left on his chest when Nimueh had hit him with a fire ball. Had he been a normal man it would have killed him but as it was He just had a small burn scar on his chest though not as bad as people would think.

"yes, I didn't mean to upset you" Hypatia said

"when I saw you I knew you were the one"

"the one? What?" Merlin asked confused He had a feeling He was forgetting something.

Hypatia glided her fingers up his chest to his shoulder and down his arm to take a hold of his hand.

"I have been waiting for you to come for so long, when I saw you in my scrying bowl I knew it was you" Hypatia said pulling him to follow her as she stepped toward a curtain.

Her humming didn't seem to stop even when she was speaking, Merlin could almost swear he could hear a voice speaking through the humming.

'c m w th m, b w th m," He couldn't make it out.

He was forgetting something, He could feel it but what? No who it wasn't a what it was a who. Damn it Merlin think, He tried to tell himself. Hypatia was speaking to him her voice was so soothing.

"I have been alone here for so long unable to leave" Hypatia was saying to him.

"but now you're here. Come lead me away from this Island so that I may take my rightful place with you at my side"

Hypatia slowly moved closer to him her voice growing husky as she spoke. She softly kissed his neck moving up to kiss his chin.

"I can see the power in you" she kissed between his chin and his bottom lip.

"with my power and your we can be the most powerful couple in all the world"

Merlin shook his head stepping back a little but not stepping back again when Hypatia stepped back up to him.

"I don't, I have no desire for power" Merlin said as Hypatia opened a curtain the was blocking the entrance to a small stair well that led up to a small room. The room was lit by almost a hundred little candles sitting on a long counter that sat along the walls of the room.

'so that's the door, was I looking for that?'

"and you're not alone, you have dozens of other people?" Merlin said almost absently as He was guided up the stairs and into the room.

"My servants are not real My Amare" Hypatia told his as she gently caressed one cheek and softly kissed the other.

"together we can be what ever we want"

Merlin barely registered what she said just that she had spoken in that perfect voice, what was he forgetting? Her lips felt soft against his cheek sending a warm sensation through him, something was not right.

'co e ith m , e ith me' the humming's voice said

Merlin tried to hold onto the feeling the instinct that He was forgetting something, or someone.

Hypatia gently kissed his cheek again closer to his lips, her hand moving to caress the back of his neck.

'come ith m ,be ith me' hmm hmm hm hmmm hmm hmmm hm.

'now why did I think I was forgetting something?'

hmm 'come' hmm 'with' hm 'me' hmmm' be' hmm' with' hmmm' me'.

that's it I am done.

Well this chapter anyway. I think if i leave it here for good hexes shall be placed on me.

Please don't place hexes on me, I swear I'll update. The plot gremlins are already thinking about the next chapter.

Oh and I don't own the movie, She, which is the inspiration for this little chapter of adventure. Though it's not a cross over of the movie because none of the character from the movie are in the story.
