Hello, people. This whole chapter will be in italics due to being in the past.

Let's find out people!

Chapter 4: The Year I Spent Missing

Morgause walked into the room Morgana was currently in just in time to see her sister wake from being healed from the poison. "Where am I?" Morgana asked looking around her surroundings which looked like ruins of a castle.

"You're on the Isle of the Blest." Morgause answered in a sombre tone.

"What happened? No. Merlin. He poisoned me." Morgana looked at her sister in anger. "Why would he do that?"

"You were source of the magic making all the people of Camelot to sleep. That Merlin found out somehow and poisoned you. That does not matter, what matters is you're safe."

"How does that not matter? He poisoned me! He was supposed to be my friend."

"We can deal with the boy later. We need to concentrate on your magic. Without training you will lose control of your magic and that would be bad for you and anyone else around you."

"Then what?"

"Then we deal with the problem that is Uther Pendragon. You still want him dead don't you?"

"Yes, and Arthur. He's just the same as his father. He would never accept magic, he's already proven that." Morgana replied bitterly.

~~~~~~MERLIN~~~~~~

Over the next few days Morgana begun learning simple magic, like lighting a flame. She learnt quickly much to Morgause's pleasure. A month later and Morgause took Morgana out to see some Druids about helping Morgause's Seer ability as she had gifted the healing bracelet to Morgana. They approached the Druid camp closest to them, one Druid coming up to them. "Where's the Druid leader?" The man looked at them wordlessly.

"The Lady Morgana. Why have you brought Uther's ward here? Do you not know what he will do to us? She'll go to him and tell him where we are!" The Druid squared up to Morgause who did not yield.

"She has magic, she wishes to see Uther dead just like you and I." The blonde told him, her voice sounding low and dangerous. Morgana did not like the way this man was speaking to her sister, she was stood a bit further away from them so she could not hear what they were saying. Instead of going up to them like any normal person she used her magic instinctively, throwing the man back with her mind. Morgause stood shocked at what just happened. "Morgana what are you doing?"

"He was threatening you, what do you expect?" At that point all the Druids came out ready to attack the sisters.

"Stop! She didn't mean too, she's still controlling her magic. We don't mean any harm." Morgause told them sincerely but they didn't believe her. It was too late, they begun to attack them so Morgause fought back though she wished she didn't have to. These people were her kin, she would never wish them harm.

Suddenly, all the fighting stopped once Morgana saw a little boy in one of the tents. "Mordred." She whispered slightly only to see him run off into the woods.

"What the hell were you doing?" Morgause shouted at Morgana, making the raven haired witch flinch.

"I told you he was threatening you." Morgana snapped back.

"No he wasn't. He was fretting because I brought you here, you were the King's ward he had every right to be frightened."

"I did what I thought was right. You're the one that is supposed to teach me, instead my magic is unreliable and I killed someone."

"This is not my fault, sister. But worry not your magic will not be unreliable while you're with me. This should teach you not to do anything rash." Morgause fought to put this incident behind her and focus on teaching Morgana her magic before she goes back to Camelot ready to overthrow Uther.

~~~~~~MERLIN~~~~~~

Morgana had been with Morgause for eight months now and her magic wasn't very strong but it was slowly getting there. The raven haired sister was slightly looking forward to go back to Camelot but she didn't really want to see Uther or Arthur as her hatred grow for them by the day. She looked forward to seeing her friend, Gwen, she was her only friend in Camelot now that Merlin had decided to poison her. Each day she longed for her to be able to stay with Morgause, she was the only one who never betrayed her, besides Gwen.

Today the sisters were off to see how Camelot was doing, or more so the King and his son without Morgana being there. They had made quite a few of these trips, each one showed Uther becoming more and more restless on wanting Morgana found which worked in their favour. Once upon a time Morgana might have cared, even pitied her guardian but now her heart was replaced with stone. Arthur seemed to be the same as ever but becoming hopeless at finding Morgana. Part of the Lady Morgana wondered if she would have ever become this person if Morgause wasn't there to guide her, or if she never had magic. Yet her mind casted back to when before she knew she had magic and Uther had killed Gwen's father that she had the chance to kill Uther, took it and changed her mind at the last minute. She hated pretending to play the loving ward as she had confessed to Morgause. Would she have tried to kill him if Morgause hadn't asked her where she stood? Or would she have continued to pretend and wait till Uther was dead? Who was she kidding, she would have tried to kill Uther again when the opportunity presented itself.

~~~~~~MERLIN~~~~~~

It was Morgana's last week with Morgause and her magic was ready, not as strong as they would have liked, but they had Morgause's. The blonde sister planned to meet with Cenred in a weeks time about bringing Uther's downfall and using Cenred's army to get through the Camelot knights. Morgana would be lying if she wasn't a little bit nervous about going back to Camelot, she kept questioning whether or not Merlin would know about her alliance with Morgause and about to be with Cenred. She also kept wondering how a serving boy, once her friend, knew about her being the source of the magic. Did he follow her into the woods that night? Yes, that must be it, there's no other possible explanation.

Morgause then walked in to see her sister. "The meeting with Cenred will be in a weeks time whilst you will be back in Camelot playing your part. Are you sure you can do this?"

"Yes, of course I can. I wish to see the back of Uther Pendragon and his son."

"In three days time Arthur and the knights of Camelot are going out to search for you. That is when they will find you. I have planned for a few of Cenred's men to be there so they can fight the knights and you will simply be found by Arthur. Then we can start our attack on Uther."

"How do we do that?"

"When you see Uther again I need you to get me something from him."

"What do you need?"

"A tear. The tears of Uther Pendragon are about to fall." Morgause smiled wickedly before exiting to find some supplies she needed for the beginning of their attack of Camelot.

~~~~~~MERLIN~~~~~~

It was the day for Morgana to go back to Camelot which saddened the sisters slightly. "Do you remember what we planned? Only come out once the coast is clear and only the knights of Camelot stand."

"Yes, sister." Morgana looked away for a minute to have one last look at her home for the past year.

"What troubles you, Morgana?" The blonde sister questioned.

"I wish I did not have to leave you. But I know that it won't be for long."

"You that if you need me before we are to meet, you know where to find me." Morgana nodded is response and Morgause gave her one last glance before turning to leave. "I have pushed my meeting with Cenred forward to tomorrow, however, I doubt he will come out to the woods. Always the coward that man."

"We don't necessarily need Cenred, just his army."

"Ah, but we do. His army will not yield to us. They are quite loyal to him." Morgause headed out the door as Morgana got ready to leave, changing into a black scraggy dress and walking to meet a few Cenred's men, ready to to head back to Camelot and play the loving ward of the King.

Ok, I did not think it would take so long to write! What did you think? What do you want to happen? What do you think will happen? Let me know, I'd love to know what you guys think. Also just to let you know the next chapter might not be posted for a week maybe as I have two weeks of exams so I will be more focused on them than this but don't you worry I will continue writing but I want to focus on exams first.
