A/N: SO I'M BACK! So thanks to those awesome people who reviewed! Love ya! There's about 7 or 8 chapters left, hopefully I can finish this BEFORE it turns one years old!

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin. I wish I did. But I don't. It is but a wish, a broken dream. That's poetic… that's pathetic. Moving on…

Gwen

Gwen had listened to Morganas story all throughout the night. Dawn was almost upon the land when Morgana realized the time and said she had to leave, but gave Gwen directions to where she was hiding before she pulled the hood of her cloak over her head and disappeared down the street.

Gwen knew what she had to do. It might be dangerous, but she had to help Morgana, and Merlin.

She was going to spy on Morgause for them, and tell them what exactly she is planning. She was the only one who could get on the inside for them, but if Morgause found out what she was going to do, she would kill her.

It was a risk Gwen was willing to take.

Merlin

"You told Gwen?" Merlin exclaimed. They were back in the cave, it was early into the evening by now, and the sun had begun to set.

"She can be trusted, you know that Merlin." Morgana retorted.

"You're right. I just wasn't expecting you to go to her."

"She needed to know that wasn't me." Morgana shrugged. "Now tell me what happened with Arthur."

"So as you know already he followed me. So when I went to tell him Morgause was impersonating you, he asked me how I knew, he told me he knew it was because you were with me. Then he said he saw us using magic that day, and he asked me to explain every time I used magic. That took a while."

Morgana laughed. "I bet his reaction was quite amusing when he found out how many times you have actually saved his life."

"It was." Merlin agreed.

The two lapsed into a comfortable silence, each just content to share the others company, staring into the flames of the fire that was burning, even now, as the world was anticipating sunset.

M&MM&MM&MM&M

Morgana

Now it was past midnight. By the dying fire place, Morgana, for the first time since returning to the outskirts of the city, dreamt.

She was in the city. She could tell from the familiar layout of the town streets and position of the castle. But now, it was a smoldering wreck. Smoke drifted everywhere like a blanket of thick fog, and everything was black and charred. Hearing a commotion ahead of her, she blindly stumbled I through the blinding smoke towards the noise… it sounded like swords clashing.

Then the smoke cleared.

There in the middle of the town square, she saw Arthur, Gwen, and Merlin, faced by Morgause, who had dropped her disguise of Morgana.

"Did you honestly think you had a chance to stop me?" She asked, smug. Then with a flash of her eyes, a bolt of lightning came from the sky and struck towards her friends, she tried to call out a warning, but her mouth didn't seem to form the words. It was too late any ways. When the lighting cleared, Arthur and Gwen were gone.

Morgana sank to her knees in the thick ash. Tears streaming down her face. Through her blinding tears, she saw Merlin walk forward, hands raised; he was talking to Morgause, trying to get her to see reason. She laughed instead, and cast a spell, sending a downpour of debris at him, burying him alive, before disappearing in a flash of light and a swirl of fog.

"Merlin!" Morgana yelled, running over to where he lay, brushing aside the large, broken splinters of wood and pieces of stone to reveal his still breathing body. "Merlin." She whispered.

Slowly he opened his eyes. He smiled grimly at her one last time before he whispered something; it was soft that Morgana could barely hear it. 'What?" she whispered, grasping Merlin's hand and leaning closer to him.

"I love you." He whispered with his last breath.

"NO!" Morgana screeched, waking up. She breathed heavily, gasping for breath.

"MORGANA!" she heard Merlin's voice yell, "Are you all right?"

Morgana took several deep breaths to calm her racing heart. "Yes… yes Merlin, I'm fine." She managed, "it was just a nightmare, that's all." Then she looked up, "what are you doing here, I thought you left for the castle?"

Merlin looked at her, giving her a look that clearly stated, don't change the subject. But he answered anyways, "I felt that you were in trouble, you must have been sending out some signal. What did you dream?"

Morgana shook her head, the dream was to horrible to relive, and in the depths of her mind, she believed, that if she kept it secret, it would not come to be.

"Morgana?" Merlin asked tentatively. Morgana only shook her head more franticly, burying her face in her hands. "Morgana." Merlin said again, taking her smaller hands in to his own larger and calloused ones, "what was your dream?"

She broke. She told him, every horrific detail. He said nothing through this, only nodding occasionally. When she was done, she was in tears, and Merlin held her in his strong arms, comforting her, it felt so right, to be here, held close to him.

"Merlin," Morgana whispered, and the words were out of her lips before she knew what she was saying, "Kiss me"

He did.

The kiss was soft and gentle, but held all the love in the world. Morgana smiled, savoring every minute, every second.

When they finally broke apart, Morgana whispered breathlessly; "I love you."

"I love you too, Morgana, but the rules-"

"Damn the rules!" she whispered fiercely, and kissed him again.
