Authors Note THAT YOU BETTER READ CUZ ITS IMPORTANT: remember last chapter when Morgause changed her name to Morgana le Fey to destroy Morgana's name and stuffs, well she still is Morgana le Fey, but I am going to still say Morgause most of the time while I write this because you may get confused, and I would hate for that to happen so I'll only say Morgana le Fey sometimes, you'll see when you get there. So well thanks to everyone who reviewed, love you all! Here is chapter 10! YAY we're in the double digits! Woot woot!

Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin, I do however have…. What do I have? I have to let you read the story THAT'S WHAT!

Merlin

Merlin was woken up by the sound of Gaius banging on his door. Groggy, Merlin opened his eyes. His tiny room was cast in a dim light that he was barely able to see by. Merlin guessed it was four hours past midnight. Silently, Merlin cursed to himself, he had spent most of the last night trying to convince Morgana to return back to Camelot, but she had remained her ever-so stubborn self and had strongly refused. Judging by the sky, Merlin had only been asleep for about two hours.

"Merlin, get up." Gaius shouted, before walking into the room and seeing merlin had not moved, threw a bucket of ice-cold water at the drowsy warlock.

With a cry of shock, Merlin jumped up, sputtering.

"What was that for?" he asked, glaring at an amused looking Gaius.

"I told you to get up, we have to go quickly, Uthur has called everyone in the castle to an audience."

"What? At this ungodly hour? Can't he wait until at least the sun is up?"

Gaius gave Merlin an odd look, the he explained. "The soldiers on guard last night found the Lady Morgana under an hour ago."

As Merlin walked down the halls after Gaius he could only wonder. What had made Morgana change her mind? He kept asking himself over and over again. She had seemed so against the idea of returning to Camelot the last time he had talked to her and Merlin knew that Morgana always held fast to her beliefs to the point where no one in the land could make her change her mind. Once Morgana had made a decision she usually stuck with it until the end. What made her change her mind now, and better yet, so quickly?

Morgause/ Morgana le Fey

Morgause looked around the Great Hall. Inside, she was laughing at everyone's stupidity. She had gotten on the inside of Camelot only by stumbling to a pair of castle guards, looking tired and frightened. She didn't need to say a word to the oafs! Her disguise as Morgana was fool proof and the perfect way to bring Camelot down. All it would take was pretending that she was Uthur's loving ward for a while until she could gather a large enough army to destroy Camelot and kill Uthur and Arthur Pendragon.

So she smiled and played her part. She embraced Uthur and cried as she told her story of how she was poisoned and then captured by horrible sorcerers and managed to escape. She felt like pulling out a knife and stabbing Uthur right then and there, but she didn't dare. Everything was going to plan, that is, until through the doors stepped the one person who could stop her.

Merlin

The first thing Merlin noticed when he walked into the room was Morgana. Well every time she was around she was always the first thing he noticed… Merlin mentally slapped himself. Stop thinking about her, not now. Because something didn't seem right, Merlin couldn't describe it, but something about Morgana was… off. It was almost as if this wasn't Morgana standing across the room.

But of course it's Morgana. Who else could it be? It's not like she has an evil twin… Merlin froze. Or just an evil sorceress sister.

Never being one to think things through much, Merlin reached out with his mind to find Morgana. They had perfected speaking to each other telepathically a week ago, and while they couldn't speak from the distance from the cave to the castle, they could easily talk in the same room.

But he couldn't find Morgana's mind.

Each person's mind felt different. In Morgana's he could feel her magic radiating off her like heat from a fire. But in what should be Morgana's mind, he met cold darkness, even though he could still sense powerful magic.

Merlin was alarmed, this wasn't Morgana, and if it wasn't it could only be one person. Morgause.

Merlin could barely remember what happened; all he could think about was getting out of the room and finding Morgana. What if Morgause had known where she was hiding and found her? Merlin didn't want to think about what could have happened, his main focus was getting out of here alive.

Eventually, everyone was dismissed, "Morgana" needed her rest, Gaius had said.

As soon as he could Merlin tried to slip away from Gaius, but the physician noticed and said, "Merlin? Where are you going?"

"I need to do something. Trust me Gaius." The old physician nodded and Merlin ran down the halls and out the castle.

Morgana

Morgana was roused from a deep sleep by someone shaking her shoulder roughly. A bit disoriented, Morgana opened her eyes to see Merlin standing over her. "Merlin." She whispered, "What are you doing here so early?" she sat up, pushing lose strands of hair out of her face.

"Are you alright Morgana? Is everything fine?" in the dim light Morgana could make out concern on Merlin's face.

"I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" Morgana asked. Merlin looked around, as if to look for anyone who might be listening. "Merlin what's going on?"

Merlin took a deep breath. "Morgause is disguised as you and is currently inside the castle pretending to be you, and has the power to kill everyone, including Uthur and Arthur whenever she wants."
