A/N: Well, your responses to the last chapter were quite enthusiastic if I say so myself. first, I should grovel and beg for mercy: Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I got… sidetracked. If any of you out there are interested in The Phantom of the Opera, Aida, RENT, or Wicked (especially Wicked) you can understand my issue of having all the different shows begging for fics. Here's the next chapter. I'll probably have just an short epilogue after this, it's been great having you all read this!
Disclaimer: do I really have to say it? We've been through this about 12 times, I don't own Merlin!
Chapter 13:The End is Near
Gwen
Gwen walked through the darkened streets, she had to find Morgana, she hoped she remembered where her old friend was hiding.
As she ran through the streets she didn't know she was being followed, as she turned a corner, she was caught and a cloth was pressed over her mouth and nose, as she fell into unconsciousness, she saw the hard eyes of Morgause…
Arthur
Arthur walked through the palace, he wondered where he would find Gwen at this late hour, Merlin had told him that Morgana had told her, and he needed to know if Gwen had learned anything useful to stop Morgause. It's not just an excuse to see her again. He thought when he was hit over the head and passed out….
Merlin
As he walked through the forest he couldn't get over his happiness, he didn't even mind that Arthur would probably kill him when he found out!
He was brought out of his thoughts by a rustle in the woods, he spun around looking into the gloom. "Morgana?" he called "Is it you?"
"Why if it isn't the great and powerful Emrys." Said a taunting voice to his left, "I'm sooo frightened." Morgause stepped out from behind a tree, back in her true form.
"You." He said.
"Me, now don't get all violent, I just came to give you this." She handed him a rolled up piece of paper, then disappeared.
Merlin unrolled the paper:
If you ever want to see your friends and your king alive, give up.
"What?" he said out loud. Gwen and Arthur!
He quickly turned around and ran back.
HIDES BEHIND SHILD.
Well, its better than nothing. I'M TRYING PEOPLE!
*Hides*
