A/N hi, it's Merlyn, for once I have nothing to say cause life has been pretty boring just staying at home. On the plus side, it means more time to update. I have been really lazy so I'm sorry if I'm updating so late. And please follow, review etc. It does mean a lot. Um, yeah.


Jacob's POV

Sunlight filtered through the single high window. I blearily opened my eyes and the world swam into view. My back and neck ached from the hard floor. Seriously, they needed to work on the quality and quantity in the medieval era big time. I mean, Gwen owns one bed. And a single bed at that. Still, sleeping on a bunch of old sacks wasn't as bad as some places I had slept, and I had Noor now, which was an enormous plus.

Speaking of Noor, where was she? I looked to the crook of my neck where she had been last night. No, she was probably out of bed already doing something useful. I stretched, getting out of bed and casually wandering into a small room, actually the living room- if...you could call it that. Noor and Gwen were both up, talking. I silently debated whether to interrupt them or not.

Too late. Noor had spotted me, grinning...

'So you're finally awake.'

'I'm sorry - I'm a deep sleeper - What's the time?'

'Let's just say, lunch was a while ago... but I've saved some stew for you.'

I smiled gratefully at her, realizing how long it had been since I'd last eaten. She then smiled at Gwen and nodded, as if there was some sort of secret pact between the two of them.

'Jake... we need to talk about a lot of things...'

'Uh- alright?'

'Right... first of all we're not staying at Gwen's any longer. We're going to this guy called Gaius' place. It's where Merlin lives.'

'okay...'

'And,' Noor lowered her voice, speaking quickly, 'Jacob, there's something that's confusing me.'

My heart fluttered slightly when she said my name, 'yes...' She moved closer to me, and her voice quietened even more. She placed a hand on my shoulder. I stared into her eyes. They we serious, concerned.

'If we are in medieval times, centuries before William Shakespeare, and it's difficult to understand even the simplest of Shakespearean English... and this is Old English...'

My stomach gave a sickening jolt. I stepped backwards, suddenly wishing I had eaten less of that stew, 'we shouldn't be able to understand them.' I whispered.

'Jake, I think this was meant to happen. Someone wanted us here. Someone who I don't think had good intentions at heart. If I'm stuck here and am supposed to be a so-called 'emancipator of peculiardom'- or so the prophecy states - then maybe that someone is trying to get rid of the emancipators. The prophecy said there are seven of them. But that doesn't explain why we can still understand everyone...'

This was getting way to serious for my liking, 'look, Noor, all we can do right now is try and stay alive. And for that we need to treat your bruises. So we meet this Gaius guy and not only for injuries... to get out of here, we're going to need someone we can trust... with our lives. Someone we're already trusting. Someone we need to get even closer too.'

Her eyes widened, 'Merlin.'

I nodded, 'Trust me, I really do not like the idea. He's a bit too sly to have me comfortable. You saw how easily he lied... but, what other choice do we have?'

'I really think we could trust Gwen too,' she said, her eyes pleading with me.

'Why do you say that?' I asked, and then my brown crinkled in realization, 'oh. Oh.'

'It's because I already told her.'


A/N rather short chappie, I know. K, that sounds weird. Cliffhanger... how much did Noor tell Gwen? That they had magic? That they were from the future? Or all of it? Idk, that for Papaya to decide.

I retook the Pottermore quiz (twice) after forever. The first time I got Gryffindor. I was so mad cause that's not me and I always get Slytherin or Ravenclaw. The second time I got Slytherin. The first time my patronus was a wolf. I loves wolves and they are my true spirit animal. The second I got a thestral, and I have very little relation to death so... But it's super super rare so I'm happy. My wand was the same both times. Apparently, the wood was rumoured to be the same that Merlin used. Yeah! Random ik.

NEXT: Look, guys, I meant to send them to Gaius and then I realized this was the perfect cliffhanger. Don't be mad at me. I promise they will actually go to Gaius in the next chapter. And then Uther. And then they'll meet a certain someone. And then we leave this fic for a bit, cause we both have other fanfictions to write too.
