AN: LOOK WHO'S BACK?
So after a week of doing homework (and crying because of homework), I am back!
But this'll probably be the only time I'll update until Friday, which is probably a good thing since Excalibur will be a very quick episode to type up.
Know what time it is?
IT'S THE BEGINNING OF THE END!
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN MERLIN.
Enjoy!
Morgana, Gwen, and I's nice day in my chambers was interrupted when Merlin came bursting through the door. "Have you forgotten how to knock, Merlin?" Morgana asked.
It was only then did I realize that he wasn't alone. There was a little boy with him. Mordred, to be exact. Uh oh, the Beginning of the End has started. "The guards are after him, I didn't know what to do." Merlin said looking at me, a pleading look in his eyes.
But I wasn't looking at Merlin. I was looking at Mordred. For some weird reason, I felt really pulled to Mordred. I felt like I wanted to grab him and keep him safe from the entire world.
I looked to Morgana, and she had the same look on her face. A loud knock on the door alerted me of the guards, so I just pointed behind me farther into my chambers. "In there." I said, not knowing why I just said that. Normally, I probably would have just shoved Mordred out of the room, because of the role he played in Arthur's death, but again, I felt like I needed to protect this defenceless little boy.
Merlin took Mordred's hand and moved further in and hid behind a curtain. There's a knock on the door again, and I pulled myself together to get to the door.
I opened it, and some guards were standing there. "I'm sorry to disturb you my Lady. We're searching for a young Druid boy, we believe he came this way."
"I haven't seen anyone." I said, lying through my teeth. "It's just me, the Lady Morgana, and our maid."
He nodded. "Best keep the door locked till we find him."
"We will," I said, shutting the door and locking it. Then the three of us ran to where Merlin and Mordred were. I fell to my knees next to Mordred and looked at him with great concern. Hey, don't ask me. I was not even sure why I felt that why. Merlin took his hand from Mordred's arm, which was stained with blood. He looked at me with concern, and Morgana and I exchanged a worried look. What were we going to do?
We tried to make Mordred as comfortable as possible, and Merlin went to stand next to the window. Mordred's accomplice's execution was going to happen today. Right now, actually. Which was why Merlin was standing by the window.
Morgana was standing by Merlin, looking down at the square. I was actually sitting next to Mordred, a hand on his small arm. I didn't know why I was loving this little boy so much. Maybe I should ask the Dragon later...
"People of Camelot," I heard Uther from outside. Damn guy was so loud. "This man before you is guilty of using enchantments and magic. And under our law, is sentenced for this crime as death. We're still searching for his accomplice anyone found harbouring the boy is guilty of conspiracy."
Huh. I'd never been guilty of anything before. Felt pretty cool, actually.
"And will be executed as a traitor," Uther continued.
Not so cool.
Morgana, Merlin and I all shared looks of worry. "Let this be a warning to your people." Uther finished.
"You've let your fear of magic turn to hate." The man said coolly. "I pity you."
Morgana choked back a sob and said to Merlin, "I can't watch this." She came and sat next to me. I knew what was coming next, and I couldn't help my next actions. I leaned over and pulled Mordred to me. I put my chin on top of his head.
Mordred started breathing heavily, as if he knew what was going to happen next, too. The man's head was chopped off, and I closed my eyes as if that would block out the horrible sound.
Suddenly, the mirror on my wall shattered into a million pieces. I jumped at the sound of it, and I just stared at the mirror, trying to catch my breath. I looked over to Merlin, who shared a strange look with me. Then I looked to Mordred, who just looked up at me with his pale blue eyes. I just rubbed his head and hugged him closer to me, looking back to Merlin. Dear God, this was just a 'what now' sort of day, wasn't it?
Merlin came back after being gone for a bit, and I answered the door when he knocked. "How is he?"
"He's sleeping." I told him, and began to walk back to Mordred. "He's very pale. Morgana and I worry that he has lost a lot of blood." I pulled the curtain back slightly, and we both looked at the sound asleep Mordred. Aww, he looked just like an angel when he slept...ack, stop it Liz!
"Has he said anything at all?" Merlin asked.
"Nothing." Morgana said from her spot on the floor next to the boy. "He won't even tell us his name."
"You know, uh, for a moment there, earlier, I thought you were going to hand us over to the guards." Merlin embarrasingly confessed.
"I'm glad you have so much faith in us, Merlin." Morgana said sarcastically.
"No, no, no, sorry. Mmm, I meant you are the King's Ward, and the Lady of Camelot." Merlin said, looking from Morgana to me. "You two are taking a huge risk helping the boy."
I shook my head. "I wouldn't see an innocent child executed. Neither would Morgana." I think that's why I was acting so sweet to him. He was a kid, and I loved kids. I'd always wanted them. I mean, I was becoming an English Education Major. Even thought they weren't necessarily young kids, they were still kids, right? And then there's the whole fact about Mordred. I mean, how could I hate someone so much for something that he did in the future? I mean, I could totally change his destiny. According to Doctor Who, time could be rewritten. So the time that Mordred killed Arthur can be rewritten, right?
Morgana nodded with me. "What harm has he ever done anyone?" She asked no one in particular.
"Well, Uther believes he has magic, and that makes him guilty." Merlin said.
Morgana looked up fiercely. But, in a scary calm way. "Uther's wrong."
Merlin looked at us, surprised. "You believe that?"
Morgana sighed. "What if magic isn't something you choose?"
I gave Merlin a pointed look, and finished Morgana's thought. " Yeah. What if it chooses you?"
Merlin and I kept looking at each other. We both know how that feels. And I wasn't even sure if mine was even pure magic. After a while, it was a bit uncomfortable and I decided to have a little fun. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Merlin cleared his throat and shook his head. "Nothing."
Morgana looked from Merlin to me and then back to Merlin. "Why are you helping him?" She asked, her tone of voice very interested.
Merlin was quiet for a bit before speaking up. "It was a spilt second decision." Merlin looked back to me and then looked back to Mordred. "What do you think we should do with him? He can't exactly stay here."
"We have to find a way to get him back to his people." I said right away. Like, Merlin wasn't even done his sentence yet when I answered. Giving this little boy back to his people seemed like the only important thing right now.
Merlin looked to Morgana, who looked to me, and we all nodded in agreement.
Later that night, Uther, Morgana, and I were all having dinner together. Man, the food here was actually really good. I mean, it's no McDonalds, but it's still really delicious the way they prepare it.
I was sipping from my goblet when I see that Morgana was looking at me with great concern. You know sometimes, I think she cared about me too much. Uther noticed my silence and I flashed him a sweet smile.
Uther put his goblet down and spoke, "You seem troubled, Elizabeth. Is something wrong?"
"No, my Lord." I said, my voice very chipper. "I'm sorry I'm not better company"
"I'm just concerned for your welfare, is all," He said.
"Thank you, My Lord. All is well," I assured him. Then I looked to Morgana. "Although, neither is Morgana, if I may add."
She gave me a look and half-laughed half-scoffed in disbelief. "Lizzie!"
"Well can you blame me?" I said. We playfully bickered (much to the amusement of Uther) for a few more seconds before the doors behind us opened, and Arthur entered the room.
"What news of the hunt of the Druid boy?" Uther asked instantly.
"We have conducted an extensive search, the boy is no where to be found." Arthur reported, leaning his arms against the chair beside Uther.
"You mean you failed to find him?" Uther asked, leaning back in his chair.
"Perhaps he's already left the city." Arthur suggested.
"You're telling me that a wounded boy is able to evade the guards and escape the city, nonsense. Someone's hiding him." Uther decuded, grabbing his goblet. "I want him found." He commanded.
"He's just a boy, what harm can he do?" Arthur tried to argue, and it took everything in me not to throw my arms around him. I mean, it's extremely attractive when a man was so caring about children, but with my heightened emotions regarding Mordred, I wanted to hold Arthur even more.
"He's a Druid, and that makes him dangerous." Uther said.
Morgana gave me a look that said, 'I'll handle this' and spoke up. "The Druids would see your father's Kingdom destroyed." Ahh, smart girl. Covering up the fact that we were holding the Druid boy. It was more likely that Uther would think that we hated the Druids and everything about them.
"I had no idea that you were such an authority about Druids." Arthur said pointedly.
"Morgana is right." Uther proclaimed. "Double your efforts."
Arthur sighed, but said, "Yes, father.", and moved to leave.
"Keep searching until you find him." Uther commanded.
Morgana and I shared secret looks, and I knew she was as relieved as I was that we had one less problem to deal with, for now.
Merlin was leaning over Mordred, examining him. He placed his hand on Mordred's forehead. "He's burning up, how long has he been like this?"
"Since early this morning." Morgana said worriedly.
"We think his wound may be infected." I brought up.
Morgana nodded in agreement. "We need Gaius before it gets any worse."
Merlin was already shaking his head. "We can't involve Gaius, it's too dangerous. Besides, if he finds out about this he'll execute me himself."
"We need to get him out of Camelot." I insisted.
"And we can't do that while he's sick." Morgana said firmly. "We need a physician."
Merlins was silent for a while before he spoke. "I'll treat him." He announced.
Morgana looked at him in disbelief. "Merlin, do you know how to treat an infected wound?"
"Not exactly." Merlin admitted. "But I'm a fast learner."
Suddenly, we heard footsteps, and the three of our heads instantly turned to the sound. It sounded like it was going to pass my door, but they stopped and knocked on it. No doubt it as Arthur. We all looked to each other in a panic before I stood up and grabbed Morgana's arm and pulled her back. It looked weird for Merlin to be in my chambers, but not Morgana. She was almost always with me, and I was almost always with her. It was really rare to see us apart. I shut the curtain, and Morgana went over to the table that I had and sat down. I quickly exchanged a look with her, and she nodded, saying that I could answer the door. I smoothed my skirts and quickly opened the door.
As I suspected, Arthur was standing there. "Arthur. To what do we owe this pleasure?" Morgana asked smugly from her spot at the table.
"Don't get all excited, this is not a social call." He said to her in the same tone of voice. He turned to me. "I'm looking for the Druid boy. I'm afraid I'm going to have to search your chambers."
"You're not searching me chambers." I said firmly. He couldn't find Mordred. If he did, then all hell would break loose.
"Don't take it personally, I have to search the entire castle, including your room Morgana." Arthur said, looking to her. He looked back to me. "It'll only take a few minutes."
"I'm not having you mess up my things." I said firmly, crossing my arms.
"I'm not interested in your things. I'm just looking for any evidence that the Druid boy's in the castle." Arthur said.
"Perhaps the Druid boy is hiding in your chambers." Morgana said. "They're usually such a mess, you'd never know." I had to try hard to keep a laugh in.
"It's hardly my fault that I have such a lazy idiot for a servant." Arthur said, continuing to look.
"If you can't even find your own servant what hope do you have of finding the boy?" Morgana asked.
"Really, I'm touched by your confidence in my abilities and as much as I'd love to stay and chat, the sooner we get started the sooner we get finished." Arthur said, taking a piece of food off my plate. Morgana rolled her eyes at his bad manners.
"Well, I'll save you the trouble." I said, moving to use Morgana in the show's idea.
"Trust me, if I could find him, I would." Arthur explained.
"The Druid boy is hiding behind the screen." I said, inclining my head as to which screen. From behind Arthur, Morgana looked at me like I was a mad woman. I just gave her a look that said, 'go with it'. She calmed down a little, but not by much.
"I'm sure your father would love to know how you wasted your time by rifling through my things." I said, walking to Arthur so that we were almost chest to chest. "Go on." I said, nodding my head in the direction again.
"So you can have the satisfaction of making me look like a fool?" Arthur asked.
Morgana came and stood next to me, hooking her arm through mine. "Well, in our experience, you don't need any help looking like a fool." She said.
"What are you waiting for?" I asked, giving him a mischievous smirk. "Take a look."
"Why don't you just go back to braiding each other's hair or whatever it is you do all day." He said, moving to leave.
"At least it'll be more than you ever do." Morgana said after him. "Bye, Arthur. Good luck with the search."
Arthur didn't answer, just slammed the door shut behind him. After he did, Morgana huffed in relief and grabbed my arms. "Can I just say that you are brilliantly stupid? That could have cost us everything!"
I shrugged. "You gotta love reverse psychology."
Morgana looked at me a little funny. Ugh, I kept forgetting that people didn't understand 21st Century stuff. I mentioned the Backstreet Boys to Gwen once and she looked at me like I was crazy. Ahh, how I missed the 21st Century. Actually, it was quite a relief to be away from all that 'swag' and 'hastag YOLO' idiocy. 1 point for Camelot, 0 for the 21st Century!
Merlin returned maybe two hours after he left. He was only supposed to be getting supplies for Mordred, but I knew that Gaius had been shoving information into poor Merlin's head. I opened the door and he ran in.
"What took you so long?"Morgana asked.
"Sorry." Merlin apologized, and we all went back to Mordred. "Once Gaius gets talking about anatomy there's no stopping him."
Merlin quickly prepared the remedy and applied it to Mordred's wound. "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Morgana asked, uncertain of Merlin's healing abilities.
"I'm doing my best." Merlin said simply.
Morgana nodded and stood up. "I'll get you some more water."
Mordred must have spoken to Merlin in his head, because Merlin stopped applying the remedy and had a strange look on his face. Mordred and Merlin had their silent conversation before Mordred closed his eyes again. I carefully touched Merlin's arm. "What's wrong?"
"He's speaking inside my head." He whispered, obviously not wanting Morgana to know.
"What? How?" I asked in pretend disbelief.
Merlin shrugged and turns to Mordred. "Speak to me." Merlin said out loud.
Morgana came back with the bucket. "I don't know if he can speak, or," She said, crouching down again. "He's just scared to."
Merlin just shook his head and went back to applying the medicine. Looking between Merlin, and the little Druid boy that I had been loving dearly, I made a decision to speak to the one person that I dreaded Merlin speaking to.
After I had told Morgana that I needed to get my sleeping draft from Gaius, I left my chambers and went down to the dungeons where Kilgharrah was. I was smart and grabbed a small torch this time and went down to the mouth of the cave. "Hello?" I called, looking around for him. I heard a roar from my right and I jumped, nearly dropping my torch to the ground. "Do you really have to do that? You scared the hell out of me." I said as Kilgharrah made his way from the right of me to his famous rock.
"The young Dimension Traveller. No doubt you are here about the Druid boy as well?" He asked.
"Merlin's already been here?" I asked, and Kilgharrah nodded.
"Okay, I'll just get to the point. What do I do about Mordred?" I asked, using his name. Kilgharrah knew that I wasn't from here and that I would most likely know his name.
"This boy should not be protected." He said.
"Why not? Am I connected to the Druid boy? Why do I feel such a connection, that is just like one Morgana had with him?" I asked Kilgharrah, confused as hell.
"You will find out soon enough." He said and got up from his rock, beginning to fly away.
"Hey! Wait!" I called, but he just ignored me and flew away. No good Dragon!
Morgana handed me a wet towel and I instantly blotted it to Mordred's forehead, trying to cool his fever down. It wasn't the most efficient way, but hey, it kinda worked. "Let me care for him for a while." Gwen said to us. "You two need to sleep. You'll make yourselves sick if you go on like this."
"His fever's getting worse." Morgana explained, wetting the towel for me again.
"Elizabeth, Morgana." I heard. Morgana and I turned our heads to Mordred. His little voice saying my name was really cute!
"Did you hear that?" Morgana asked.
"What?" Gwen asked.
"He said my name. And Lizzie's too." Morgana said, turning her head to me
I nodded. "I heard it."
Gwen shrugged. "That's strange. I didn't hear anything."
A knock on my door, and Merlin's voice came out. "It's Merlin." He said.
Gwen got up to go answer the door while Morgana and I continued to care for Mordred. Merlin and Gwen came back, and Merlin asked, "How is he?"
"He's getting weaker and weaker by the hour." I said. "Whatever you did yesterday hasn't worked."
Morgana nodded. "We have to ask Gaius for his help." She said, bringing her point back up.
Merlin sighed and scratched his eyebrow. "After all you've done you can't give up now!" Morgana argued. "Please!"
Looked like it was up to me. "If he doesn't receive treatment he'll die." I said in a pleading voice. And, just as I had planned, Merlin left to go ask Gaius. After he left the room, Morgana turned to me. "How did you do that?"
I chuckled and pressed the towel to Mordred's head again. "It's called dazzle Morgana. And don't lie, I've seen you use it before too."
Merlin returned with Gaius maybe a half hour later. He checked Mordred's vitals. Morgana watched worriedly as Gaius spoke. "I will treat the boy. But as soon as he's well, you must get him out of Camelot."
We all nodded in agreement. Gaius unwrapped the bandage, and said my favourite line of the episode. "Well, one thing we know for certain."
"What's that?" Merlin asked eagerly.
"You are no physician." Gaius said, turning back towards Merlin. I let a laugh escape, but when Merlin gave me a glare I quickly covered it up as a cough.
When Morgana, Merlin, Gwen and I were in the town, we saw some guards stop people to check them. "The Guards are searching everyone leaving the town." Gwen informed us.
"There's another way out." Merlin said. "There's a secret door in the armoury, that leads to the lower town. I'll take the boy out that way."
I shook my head. "No. It's too dangerous." Before I knew what I was saying, I said, "I'll do it."
"I'm good with secret doors and things." Merlin insisted.
Morgana shook her head. "No. I'll do it. I'll go with Lizzie."
"No. It would look suspicious if the both of us were caught out of bed. No point in all of us getting in trouble." I said. I turned to Merlin. "I can do it. Uther would execute you if you get caught." Then I turned back to face them all. "The boy was in my chambers, therefore he is my responsibility. I'll smuggle him out of the castle."
"Well, you need a key for the door." Merlin told me.
"Who has it?" I asked, though I knew the answer.
"Arthur." Merlin said.
As Merlin was getting the key, Morgana helped get Mordred ready and Gwen helped me get ready. "This is something I have to do." I turned to face Gwen. "I feel like I've put you in danger without even asking you how you felt. I'm sorry."
Morgana nodded, standing next to me. "Me too."
"I know how it feels to face the threat of execution. And I wouldn't wish that on anyone, especially not a child." Gwen explained.
A knock on the door. "It's Merlin." He called out.
Gwen and Morgana went to open the door, and I went to Mordred and crouched next to him. "We're going to get you out of Camelot. I won't let anything bad happen to you. I promise." I told him, ruffling his hair, to which he smiled. Aww, that just killed me right there.
"You ready?" Merlin asked, and I nodded, standing up again. I could not believe that I was actually doing this. What if this was like the show and I got caught? I looked to Mordred and his pale blue eyes, an emotion deep in them that showed fear, and I decided that I had to do this. There was no turning back now. "Did you get the keys?" I asked.
"Yeah." Merlin said, holding out the key to me. He took out the one I needed and said, "The door is behind the shield, at the far end of the armoury."
"I'll pack you some food and water for the journey." Gwen offered.
I nodded, and Morgana pulled me into a hug. "Be careful." She said.
"I will." I said, smoothing her back. We pulled away, and I took Mordred's hand.
I pulled my hood up, as did Mordred, and we quietly slipped out of my room. I quickly checked to make sure that the guards were gone, then I took Mordred's hand again and led him down the stairs. We were about to continue down when we heard footsteps from guards, so I pushed him back out of sight. As soon as we knew they were gone, we were off again.
We made it to the armoury, and I found the shield with the door. I quickly lifted it off and unlocked the door. Then I opened it and helped Mordred inside. We made our way outside, when we heard the warning bell.
Oh crap! I had never been in trouble with the law before, and I was not about to start now!
I tugged on Mordred's hand and we moved faster. We managed to get into Gwen's house, who handed us a basket. "There is enough food for three days."
Merlin got our attention. "The horses, fed and watered. I'll take you-"
"No! As I said before, there is no point in all of us risking our necks." I insisted.
"But what about you?" Merlin asked, and, to my surprise, put a hand to my cheek.
I blushed, but quickly composed myself when I realized how much trouble we were really in. "I'm the King's Lady. I think I'll take my chances."
"Elizabeth!" Gwen argued.
I rolled my eyes and shrugged Merlin's hand off. "I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to either of you. Morgana included." I had told her to stay in the castle so it wouldn't seem as suspicious. To my surprise, she agreed.
"We must go." I said, moving to the door. Mordred and I began to run to the horses, but we stopped dead mid-step when we saw a bunch of guards, led by Arthur, of course.
"Crap." I cursed. I looked around for any other escape, and after I found one, I tugged on Mordred's hand, and we ran through the doors into a grain storage. We found the darkest corner and huddled down. I covered us with some sort of material just as the doors opened. Somebody knocked something over, which caused the both of us to jump. Mordred was more scared than I was, so I pulled him closer to me. I carefully peeked out and found another exit. Waiting for a chance when I knew they're distracted, I grabbed Mordred's hand and we quickly ran to it. We rounded the corner, but unfortunately, there was a guard already waiting. Mordred squeezed my hand tighter, and I gently squeezed it back to try and reassure him, but honestly, I wasn't even sure myself what would happen. We backed away, and brought Mordred to my chest so that if they wanted him, they would have to get through me. I heard a sword being drawn, Arthur's voice, "Halt or I'll run you through.", and the tip of a blade against my back.
The tip of the sword sent chills down my spine. Hm. Maybe this wasn't the best show to wish myself into.
"Show yourself." He commanded.
I took a deep breath. Here went everything.
I squeezed my eyes shut and slowly turned around. Arthur's eyes widened at the sight of me. I shook my head, "Let him go." I said, and Arthur's eyes travelled to Mordred.
"I beg you, he's only a child." I pleaded. Come on Dazzle! You worked with Merlin, now work with Arthur!
He looked to me, and then to the rest of the guards, then back to me. I knew he didn't want to arrest me, I could tell by the look in his eyes. But the look in his eyes also told me that he couldn't appear weak, not even to me, "Restrain them."
I pulled Mordred even closer to me (if that was even possible), and the guards grabbed my arms and dragged me away. Trust me, I tried putting up a fight. I made myself as heavy as I could, I dug the heel of my shoes into the ground, but it looked like it didn't even faze these fully grown men. I groaned as I was taken back to the castle. Well, I was in a lot of trouble...
"All this time, you have been hiding the boy in my own palace. How could you betray me like this?" Uther asked. I could tell he was trying to keep his anger in check, but it wasn't exactly working.
Morgana and Arthur were there with us, but I had made Morgana promise when we were alone that she wouldn't speak up about helping me hide Mordred. No use in the both of us getting our throats grabbed. "I would not see him executed." I explained.
"I treated you like a daughter. Is this how you repay me?" he asked, coming closer to me.
"He was just a child, I didn't want to watch him die, so I did what I thought was right," I said plainly.
"Do you think it's right to conspire with my enemies against me?" Uther asked, still coming closer.
"How could this child be your enemy, he's just a boy!" I argued, trying to keep my anger down.
"He's a Druid." He said, as if that would explain everything.
"And that's a crime, how?" I asked sarcastically.
"His kind would see me dead. this Kingdom return to anarchy and you would help them?" He asked, daring me to answer.
"Then punish me. Do with me what you wish," I said, quickly catching the look that Morgana gave me. "But spare the boy. I beg of you."
While still looking at me, he told Arthur, "Make arrangements for the boy to be executed tomorrow morning." He then moved to leave.
"No!" I yelled, following him. "Please, he's done nothing wrong!" I pleaded.
"Let this be a lesson to you." Uther said fiercely.
I finally allowed myself to calm down, tears threatening to escape me. "You don't have to do this."
He ignored me and turned to Arthur again. "Do you hear me? I want him executed at dawn."
Arthur reluctantly said, "Yes, father." I could see how much it hurt him to put a young child to death.
Uther went to leave again, but I didn't let him. "What on earth could these people have done to you that you are so full of hate?" He continued to ignore me. I grabbed his arm to stop him. "It's because of this that people hate you as King!"
SMACK!
Uther's hand went right across my face, a loud slapping sound echoing throughout the room. "Lizzie!" Morgana cried, and moved to run to me, but Arthur held her back. Uther grabbed a hold of my throat. Huh. As if the slap wasn't bad enough! "Enough! I will not hear another word! Do not speak to me until you are ready to apologise for what you've done."
He let go of my neck, but pretty much threw me back. Arthur followed him, purposely avoiding me, and Morgana rushed to me. Morgana brought her hand to where Uther had slapped it, and I jerked back, almost hissing in pain. She brought me into a hug, and started to cry. "I should have spoken up, I should have said something."
I pulled away. "No. You shouldn't have. And it's a good thing you didn't. I don't want you in any trouble."
Morgana hugged me again and brought me back to my chambers, where Merlin shortly joined us after. He immediately saw my stinging red cheek and asked what happened. Morgana quickly explained as I sat down in a chair. "I promised him I wouldn't let anything bad happen to him." I said, letting my tears slip down my cheeks.
Merlin shook his head. "You can't blame yourself. You tried your best."
I sniffled and stood up, turning to look at Merlin. "It's not enough."
"He's in jail now. There's nothing more we can do." Merlin said.
I shook my head. "I will not let him die. Can I count on your help?" I asked the two of them.
Morgana instantly nodded, and Merlin hesitated before he finally nodded. I went over to my cracked mirror and brought my hand to my blushing red cheek, which looked like it was starting to swell. Morgana came and stood next to me, bringing my hand from my cheek. "I'll get something for that from Gaius." She said, moving to leave.
I caught Merlin's eye in the mirror and I knew that we were both thinking the same thing.
We were going to need a miracle to save this kid.
TBC...
Guys, I put off homework for this.
Well, at least it's a bit of it.
Anyway, tell me what you thought of the Beginning of the End part 1!
What do you guys think of Elizabeth's destiny?
REVIEW! THANKS! STAY TUNED!
