Now, what has Alvarr got planned?

She wants to break up every night
Don't wanna wait until she finally decides to feel it

Chapter 22

It was her first day off. The first day that Morgana had in a few months to really think about what she wanted to do. She knew that she couldn't be apart of the drugs any longer and she couldn't be with Alvarr. She had to get out.

It was the only reason that she was currently with Arthur.

"I need you to book two flights for me."

She couldn't really believe the blank look that Arthur was giving her. The reason she was asking him was that she couldn't do it and it was something that he had said that he would do when she asked.

"For what reason?"

"I need you to book one in Merlin's name to anywhere far away, like New Zealand and then one for me later that day."

"Why?"

"For Christ sakes Arthur. Do I have to spell it out for you? I am going to break up with Alvarr and it is definitely going to put Merlin and myself in danger. I need to get out Arthur. I know I have said that so many times and then followed it, saying that I can cope and don't need any help but Arthur… I can't do it any more. I really can't do it any more. I don't hate Alvarr, I loathe him now. I can't stand him. I feel like I am going to throw up every time he kisses me and… I just need you to do this for me, Arthur. Please. For both our sakes."

"Dad's going to ask why I am booking two tickets to New Zealand."

"And Alvarr is going to ask the same of me and I haven't seen Merlin to ask him to do it. Arthur, I wouldn't ask you if I didn't think that it was important. I am going to do it tomorrow night."

"Morgana, are you scared?"

"Arthur, I am bloody petrified. I am caught up in something really bad and I have this big feeling that Merlin might be caught up in it as well."

"Merlin. Just the man."

Merlin felt like he was always 'just the man' whenever he stepped into Alvarr's office. It made him more suspicious of Alvarr's motives.

"At your service."

"That is what we like to hear. I have a few plans that I am bringing forward."

Merlin knew how to play the game now.

"Why?" Was always going to be a better question than 'What plans?'

"Oh, Merlin. I told you the plan. The plan is to take down Uther. But there are a few things that have come to my attention that means that they will be compromised. I have been planning this for months. I can't let it all go to waste." He paused. "I don't know why I am saying this but I am sorry."

He opened his mouth to say something. It was a bad idea because when the pain shot from the back of his head to the front, he knew sort of what was happening. He felt his body tense then relax as he blacked out.

Morgana shook her head as the vodka burnt her throat. She knew that she didn't need the drink but she thought she could do with a little bit of drunk courage. Arthur had booked the tickets for her and Merlin and was currently waiting for Merlin to return home so that he could quickly pack a bag before getting him to the airport in time for him to be able to run through customs and get on the plane. By the time Alvarr got home, Merlin would be in the sky off to New Zealand. She just hoped that Merlin would be on his way and safe.

She was about to pour herself another vodka when the door opened. She placed the bottle back in the cupboard quickly before she dragged a hand through her hair. She stepped out of the kitchen and into the living room.

"You are coming with me," Alvarr said.

"No, I'm not."

There was a moment when Alvarr stopped gathering up whatever he was gathering and slowly turned to her. The look on his face was something that she had seen before but it had never been directed at her. There were only a couple of long strides between them and Morgana couldn't really remember him moving but felt his hand go to her neck. Alvarr wasn't overly taller than her but he still lifted her enough that her feet felt like they weren't on the floor.

"You know what. I have wanted to do this for months. I know how you despise me. I know that you want to break up with me. I know about you little stupid affair with Merlin. But do you know what? You are mine. No one will want you after I am finished with you. That is if I don't lose my temper completely." He paused. "Oh, Morgana. Sweet innocent Morgana. You know nothing about real life. Of course, that rumour was true."

Morgana tried not to be scared. She tried not to struggle in hope that it meant that she could keep herself from blacking out. She felt helpless.

He let go of her and she found herself sliding down the wall, trying to catch her breath back slowly whilst trying not to cry. Crying would be a waste of breath and she felt like she couldn't do that. There was little to show what Alvarr wanted with her and what he had planned.

She could hear her phone vibrating on the coffee table and she hoped that if she slowly stood up she could at least see who was calling her. She just saw the name on the phone before Alvarr grabbed her and pulled her out of the flat.

"We are going to pay daddy a visit."

Alvarr's statement didn't worry Morgana. What worried Morgana was the missed phone from Arthur and what he would have said to her.
