A/N: Thank you for the review and the followers.

The first few days of Morgana's reign wasn't the best, the knights wouldn't yield to her command, Uther was depressed, and everything was going wrong. She couldn't believe it had happened in all her time in Camelot she never seen the knights so disobedient, Morgana had the knights lined up square with archery arrows pointed at them. Rose, Morgana and Morgause stood on the balcony overlooking the square.
"I will give you one last chance to pledge your allegiance to us," said Morgana. The archers bought this bows up to aim. Leon smirked up at them.
"Long live the king," shouted Leon. Rose didn't feel anything, but annoyance were they trying to get themselves killed. The enchantment on her was stronger with Morgause now living in the castle and being the cause of it. The battle for mind was lost and she was close to just giving up completely.
"Long live the king!" shouted the rest of knight.
"Perhaps this will change your mind" said Morgana she bought her arm down for the arrows to shoot but instead of hitting the knights the arrows were shot at the peasants and the crowd only there to watch. Leon screamed a long No, and everyone ran off screaming. Rose put her hands over ears and ran into the castle. She went to her room got into bed and pulled the covers over her head. How had she ended up here? She had gone from a simple life in a village to royalty in only a few years. She wanted to see Merlin, she missed him even though it had only been a week.

She got out of bed and went to Gaius's chambers to get a few books before heading over her favourite balcony above Camelot. She sat and read for a while trying to forget about the fact; she was now crowned princess what was that about. The plan had been to make Morgana queen not to make Rose crowned Princess. She was sure she was too young to be it anyway; it basically made her Queen if something happened to Morgana, but she couldn't be a teenage queen. Also, Morgana had given her a last name, her last name, did that make her adopted daughter now? She read about potions and magic until it became dark. She put the books in her bags and went back to her chambers. On her way back she heard Morgana and Morgause talking they were standing over the prison gate. Rose moved so she was out of sight but could still hear them. She relaxed her magic so that Morgause wouldn't sense her.
"It is as we expected she has betrayed us; I'll have her executed at dawn," said Morgana.
"No, wait, let her take Rose and we put a tracker spell on her, give them the illusion that they are safe for a day or so, then use the tracker find Arthur, my enchantment will not be broken anytime soon, she'll find her way back to us" said Morgause.

Rose walked to her chambers a different way her head buzzing with information. They going to let Gwen take her with her in her escape of Camelot. This was crazy were they even going to tell her she was getting kidnapped. Gwen came in sometime later and started to blow out the candle. Rose went and laid on her bed falling asleep quickly. Rose woke up the next morning and stood at the window looking out on to the lower town. The door opened and someone came up behind her before she could fight a drugged cloth got put over her face and she fell backwards as everything went black. She woke up sometime later propped up against a tree, Gwen watched her as she opened her eyes and looked around, she was in the woods somewhere. She attempted to get up, but Gwen held her shoulder.
"Let go off me" slurred Rose.
"Leon she's awake," said Gwen. She saw Leon pass her the drugged cloth again and she put it to her face, and everything went black again.

She awoke sometime later this time waking up weird she opened her eyes, and it was dark she was in Merlin's arms and he was on Kilghara.
"Did Gwen and Leon find you then" asked Rose. Merlin looked down at her and nodded he tightened his arm around her as Kilghara landed on ground in front of Avalon. He got down and Rose got down he caught her. Merlin took her hand walked her over to water. She stopped as he stepped in and stared him. Her mind was telling her don't get into the water.
"It's the enchantment fighting back, coax her in" said Kilghara.
"Rose look at me" said Merlin gently she did as her mind battled again "you trust me, yeah come into the water, it's safe, your safe, you going to be free, I have never let anything happen to you before, trust me now". Rose hesitated looking at him "listen to me, you are going to be okay, you'll be free and I will never let anything like this happen to you again". She attempted to move forward but she couldn't.
"you think you can tell me what to do the mighty Emerys" said Rose, she did not know it was going to come out her mouth "help me".
"I am helping you, I do not ask you for destinies sake, I ask you not as this great warlock people tell me I am, I do it as your brother and your best friend" said Merlin the emotion in his voice.

Rose took a step forward slowly she wanted so badly to be free. She walked in so she was at her waist in the water.
"Pick her up and hold her under, the lady of the lake and myself will heal her, she will struggle but don't panic and pull her out too early" said Kilghara. Merlin nodded he picked up Rose and plunged her under the water. He held her there for a while, she struggled as she wanted to breathe, her lungs burnt as she struggled to get up into the air. She was dying that was when she felt it powerful magic cleansing her mind and making her feel free. She felt hands go through her hair, she looked to see Freya's face. She stopped struggling and let herself relax as she passed out.

Rose came around later she was wrapped in a blanket in a cave she was feeling fresh and calmer than she had done in ages. She attempted to sit up but her whole body wouldn't move, the calmness she felt as she woke up was gone and it was replaced with panic, she couldn't move, her body felt like lead. Gaius was sat next her.
"Why can't I move, Gaius, I can't move" said Rose in a panicked voice.
"It's alright, it's alright, your body and magic are healing from the last year of your mind control, you have been fighting it well," said Gaius. Rose looked at him and realised they were the only two people in the cave until Merlin came in looking panicked.
"We have been found" said Merlin into the room.
"I'll slow you down," said Gaius.
"I'll also slow you down I can't move" said Rose in a matter-of-fact way.
"I am not leaving either of you behind," said Merlin.

He sent Gaius running out the cave before coming over to Rose he grabbed a sword in one hand and picked up Rose and put her over his shoulder, so he still had a hand free. She had no way of holding on she couldn't keep herself steady. He left the cave with his stuff, and they made it to an alcove. She heard a rock fall and suddenly the noise of shouting men disappeared.
"Change my position please I want to know what's going on" said Rose grumpily getting sick of only looking at Merlin's back. Merlin changed her position she was in his arms rather than over her shoulder as they ran up the hill. He put her down and panted as Lancelot and a strange tall guy came over to them. Arthur formed a huddle near her so that she could listen to what they were saying.
"I know a place that's too far from here," said Arthur. Rose attempted to move again but she could barely move.
"Rose's strength will return soon enough" said Gaius looking down to see that she was attempting to move "it'll be sooner if she stopped trying to move".
"What's up with her" asked Lancelot.
"Morgana and Morgause enchanted her, so to break the enchantment we kidnapped her by drugging her and then we got rid of her healing bracelet, she is weak due to the drugging," said Gwen. Lancelot raised his eyebrows at Merlin. He gave him a look back; he was getting told truth later.
"We'll take it in turns to carry her because Merlin will need a break" said Arthur gently. Lancelot put his hand up.
"I'll take the first carry," said Lancelot. He scooped her up and held her in his arms. Rose put her hand out using the most of her energy and got hold of Arthur's arm.
"Arthur, I fought the enchantment, it was too strong" said Rose weakly. He squeezed her hand.
"I know, rest" said Arthur gently.

Rose put her arm folded over her and fell asleep as Lancelot started walking. Rose woke up sometime later they were walking into a castle she was being held by the giant man.
"I never found out your name" said Rose looking up to the man.
"I'm Percival," said the man. He sat her down at a table, so she was next to Gaius. He then gave them both a drink, she took the drink and drank it slowly. Rose looked around the room, she was sat at stone table which was round. Arthur pulled of the cover of the table revealing it in all its glory.
"Hey, come join us" said Arthur gently to rest of the room who were gathering supplies everyone came over and sat down.

Arthur sat at the head of it with Gwen on his right and Merin on his left it was an odd kind of table because it was round meaning everyone was at it equally "this table was used by the ancient kings, its round because everyone was equal" that sounded nice a Camelot of equal he was going to make a great king "my father has been rotting in prison for too long, who will come with me to break him out". Lancelot stood up first oozing the nobility that he usually did.
"You taught me the knights code a way a person lives their life, I will happily serve you," said Lancelot. Elyan then stood up.
"Even though I was commoner you laid down your life for me, it is now my turn to repay you" said Elyan. Rose's heart melted at all the loyalty in the room it made her feel guilty for her actions over the last year she hadn't wanted anyone to get hurt. It was her destiny to be the link between the dark and the light, but she was going to do it willingly. They didn't need to enchant her.

Leon stood and smiled at Arthur and then to Rose.
"I have fought by your side many times, there is no one more I would rather die for" said Leon looking at Arthur he then turned to Rose and she was surprised she was included in his speech "from the moment I knew you snuck into battle I made sure to keep you safe".
"Thank you" said Rose and Arthur together.
"I think we have no chance, but I wouldn't miss it for the world" said Gwaine getting up.
"Your enemies are my enemies" said Percival getting up.
"If you need an old man" said Gaius standing up.
"You know my answer," said Gwen. Rose gathered all her strength and stood up she stumbled slightly so Gwaine grabbed her arm and steadied her so she could regain her balance.
"You Arthur have shown me a lot of kindness, you let me sneak into battle with the confidence that I will do well, this last year I have been under an enchantment has been so hard I wanted to fight it off, thank you for not giving up on me" said Rose looking directly at Arthur, he gave her a nod with a chocked expression. There was a moment of silence while Merlin stayed sat down with a cheeky expression on his face.
"Merlin" said Arthur.
"I don't really fancy it," said Merlin.
"You don't have a choice Merlin," said Arthur. Merlin tutted and then stood up to join the rest of the standing "I thank you all for standing up to help me in Camelot's hour of need, I am now going to do something that my father wouldn't approve off". He got up and took his sword out of his belt he looked official and ready "Lancelot, Gwaine, Elyan and Rose kneel to be knighted" Rose's jaw dropped.
"You're going to knight me after everything," said Rose. She walked shakily towards Arthur and hugged him tightly he hugged her back.
"Come on crowned princess of Camelot kneel" said Merlin from behind them.

Rose went over and joined the men who were kneeling, she was so excited she was going to be a knight at last, she was the first lady knight ever Camelot. She knelt at the end of the row.
"Arise sir Lancelot knight of Camelot, arise sir Gwaine knight of Camelot, arise sir Elyan knight of Camelot and finally Arise lady Rose knight of Camelot," said Arthur. Rose grinned but needed help getting up again, so Arthur put his hand out and she took it and stood up giving him an appreciative smile "Tomorrow when you fight you fight with honour as one of the best armies in the world". Rose felt a lot more hopeful and happier than she had done before. Arthur sent them all to get some rest. She laid down on the floor next Merlin and Lancelot laid at the other side of him. She scuttled closer to Merlin, so she had her on his shoulder, he wrapped an arm around her. She fell asleep quickly feeling completely exhausted after the last day.

Rose was the first to wake up that morning she got up and walked around the castle a bit exploring. Her strength had returned, and she was using it to her own advantage, it meant no more being carried around. She walked around a bit more before making herself a cup of tea and making a fire to warm herself up in the same room as the round table.
"Your awake then," said Arthur. Rose jumped and turned around her was stood in the doorway. He then came over and sat down next to her warming up his hands with the fire.
"Did you sleep well" asked Rose.
"Yeah, I slept well considering," said Arthur.
"Are you alright? It's not been the best few days for you, it must have been hard finding about Morgana," said Rose. Arthur sighed and sat back a bit he was leaning on his hands.
"It's not been easy, don't worry I knew you were enchanted the moment I saw you in the throne room, you looked scared when you were crowned princess of Camelot," said Arthur.
"I was because I assumed, they would make Morgause next in line not me, I am 13 if something happened to Morgana, I would be a young queen," said Rose.
"The youngest queen in Camelot history don't worry you just have title of the youngest and first lady knight of Camelot, what will we do with you," said Arthur.

Rose looked at him, unsure about what he meant about the last bit did he want her to leave. She didn't blame him if he did.
"Once we take Camelot back, do you wish me to return to Ealdor, I completely understand" said Rose she started to get up so she could face away from him. He pulled her back down and got on to his knees.
"Look at me" said Arthur sternly he cupped her face in his hands forcing her to look at him in the face both their blue eyes staring into each other "your home is in Camelot; you will become my ward again". She stared at him and then he pulled her into a hug. She hugged back tightly.

Soon everyone else started to get up and everyone got ready for the day ahead, Arthur had them stand around the round table as they talked.
"There is a tunnel under the northern ramparts, that brings us only a few paces from the entrance to the dungeons, it'll will be well-guarded, so if we're going to breaking everyone out, we must remain unobserved, we cannot let them raise the alarm," said Arthur.
"I volunteer to take out the warning bell, I need someone that knows the castle" said Lancelot looking directly at Merlin she frowned what was he planning.
"I will go with you," said Merlin. Arthur gave them both an approving nod. Rose looked across to Gaius who had raised his eyebrows.
"Rose you will distract queen Morgana," said Arthur. Rose nodded and smiled; she can talk to Morgana about being enchanted which she really wanted to do. Everyone then panned out getting ready, Arthur kept Gwen behind to talk to her Rose went over to Gaius and Merlin.
"You need to be careful" said Gaius to Merlin.
"What are you planning?" asked Rose in a whisper.
"I've got the easy bit; the warning bell is nothing compared to the cells," said Merlin.
"Don't lie to me, I am your sister" whispered Rose.
"I overheard you Merlin, he's going to use the sword forged by a dragon's breath to knock over the cup of life" said Gaius to Rose in a whisper, her heart dropped that was a very dangerous thing to do if he was found out he would be killed in a second.
"If Morgause catches you she'll kill you," said Rose.
"I have no choice," said Merlin.
"I remember the bumbling idiot that walked into my chambers all those years ago, who'd a thought it" said Gaius he looked chocked up as he looked at his ward. They hugged each other tightly Rose moved away to leave them to have their father son moment in private.

They headed to Camelot not long after the meeting, they had decided on the way there that she would be better to go through the front while the went through the dungeons. She went into the castle and went to find Morgana.
"Morgana" said Rose in her head calling for her.
"I am in our chambers" said Morgana into her head. She went in that direction and went into the chambers. Morgana hugged her and she hugged her back. She then stepped back and looked at her guardian.
"I am not enchanted anymore," said Rose. Morgana gave her an alarmed look she just stared at her mouth wide open "did neither of you trust me enough".
"We do trust you we just didn't want you to feel guilt" said Morgana, Rose shook her head and looked at the older women with hurt and anger in her eyes.
"I would have guilt replaced with loyalty to the old religion, I am a high priestess I was never going to not be loyal to the old religion, I was always on your side, I would have stayed loyal to you this year without the enchantment" said Rose she started to pace as she ranted letting out her hurt and upset to her "I hate Uther he is the reason a lot of my life has been ruined, my life was a lie because of him, I was never going to betray you".

Morgana looked at her cautiously and approached her slowly.
"I am so sorry, I just was worried about you, what I did I did out of love, I know how frightened I was and I didn't want the same for you" said Morgana she approached her and cupped her face "you mean so much to me". That is when Rose truly understood, Morgana wasn't evil she was scared, had lived with nightmares, told her magic was evil on a regular basis, lived in fear of Uther finding out and executing her and she had also had to deal with the fact her father turned out not to be her father.
"I forgive you, I understand" said Rose Morgana let out a small sob and she hugged her tightly.

Rose moved them over to the bed where they cuddle up. Morgana's head on Rose's shoulder with her holding her to her. A few minutes later the warning bell sounded both Rose and Morgana got out of the bed. Morgana got her sword and Rose changed her shawl. She made towards the door but was stopped by a splitting headache. She screamed loudly as she grabbed her head.
"What's wrong?" asked Morgana desperately.
"My head, it hurts" said Rose. She focused on where the pain was coming from and it was Morgause her head was damage she tracked her and saw her in the throne room "Morgause is seriously hurt, she's in the throne room". Rose fell into Morgana, and she laid her on her bed as the eyes rolled back into her head and she passed out.

When Rose came around later Morgana and Morgause were gone, and Arthur had taken over the kingdom. Uther had become a shell of himself and was practically mute. The next morning Rose sat in her usual spot over Camelot so she could watch Gwen come back from a far. She sat and watched the square. She would get random headaches which was a good thing because it meant that Morgause was alive. Merlin had explained what had happened which made her slightly nervous. She hoped wherever they were they were safe. She looked to see Gwen arrived and Arthur helped her from the horse and kissed her. She smiled and sat back. She had learnt that she didn't need to worry what was to come will come, and she was ready for what was out there.

The end
