Thank you for all the reviews and support.
Unfortunately guys, this is the last chapter of this story. I know it hasn't been long this one.
On another note as well, I am thinking about taking a break from uploading to Fanfiction. I have been struggling with writing and only writing because I have to or otherwise I can't post. I don't want to get into forcing myself to write just to keep up. So will be still writing but any full length story won''t be up until the new year. I am also entering my final year of university and I really need to focus on that rather than fandom related stuff.
If you follow me on Instagram ( mergana) then you will know that my theme at the moment is little drabbles. I am currently rewriting them slightly and am planning to put them up on here for everyone to read.
I will be back with Apartment Magic on the 12th January 2017 at the earliest, depending on how well I get on and maybe a bit earlier with the drabbles.
Chapter 10
It was next day news. It was covered for a week. It was the only thing they went on about. Shareholder of Camelot found dead in his mansion. Did he jump or was he pushed.
So Merlin wasn't surprised by the knock on the door and Uther's henchmen coming in to tell them that they were coming with them.
"Why is it so big? I mean, he only uses a quarter of the room." Morgana asked.
"This is Uther."
"You never have asked."
"Nope." Merlin said smiling.
"When you said you don't ask many questions, you meant you ask no questions."
"I only ask what I think I need to know."
They both turned as Uther entered his office and fell heavily into his chair. Merlin had never seen him like it before but then again, his own assassin had never killed one of his shareholders.
He could only just begin to think what pressure Uther was under with all the PR and the cover up of what happened.
"Why?" Uther asked eventually. "Why did you do it? This is a mess."
"He wanted us both dead. Morgana just because she was getting too close to finding out the killer of her parents and me because I knew too much about the company. The thing was he was the one that made me leave in the first place. He had an involvement in Freya's death. He hired Alvarr to get me."
Uther looked shocked. "Sorry? Gorlois … Oh god."
"We didn't do anything. He jumped rather than we pushed him." Morgana explained. "We may have put the rope around his neck and tied it up but he was his own executioner in the end."
He looked over to Morgana. "Gorlois wanted me to look after you if anything happened to him. I couldn't after I let him down." He turned back to Merlin. "After all of this, you still want out."
Merlin looked over at Morgana. "Yes, I cannot be losing another person due to it."
"Well, it is probably a good thing to. I trust that once this meeting is over you are going to leave London and England. Even with my influence, there will still be a thorough investigation. I don't want anything pointing towards you to."
"And then you can keep your little secret from Arthur for a bit longer. You'll need to break someone into the role before you can let him know."
Uther stood up and held his hand out. Merlin pushed himself out of the chair, placing more weight on his good leg. He took his hand and shook it.
"Till the next time Pendragon."
Uther smiled. "Till the next time Emrys." He turned to Morgana. "And Le Fay."
Morgana slipped her hand into Merlin's as they walked across the room to the door on the other side.
"That office is too big."
"Arthur has always said that he could think of a better use for it."
"I am sure it could." She rose up on her tiptoes and kissed his jawline. "It is still causing you pain."
"I am just glad he was a rubbish shot."
"Merlin, long time no see." Arthur said from his place on the stairs, cutting from his conversation.
"Been a bit busy." Merlin said, smiling.
"You look happy."
"I am. Oh Arthur this is Morgana, Morgana ..."
"Arthur, I have heard so much about you." Morgana said.
"Really? Hopefully good things. While you are introducing your new other half, this is Gwen."
Gwen gave them both an awkward wave.
"You were engaged to Elena the last I heard."
"That ended badly. No, Gwen is the one for me."
"Good for you mate. Sorry we have to rush. We have a plane to catch." Merlin said as they started to walk off.
"Going anywhere nice?"
"Yeah."
The villa that they got on the beach was everything that the picture was. Merlin tried to remember the last time he visited a place so beautiful. He started to smile at the life that they had left behind. They were going to travel the earth, going to all the place that they wanted to. They knew that it would take them a few years to do properly but with the amount that they had both earnt over the years, they had enough money to do it.
He lifted his eyes to watch Morgana as she stared out into the distance. He knew that she was thinking exactly the same as him. This was total different to what they had been used to and Merlin felt excited about it. It was the same excitement that he use to get when he was given a new target.
He joined her on the decked area at the back of the villa and sat next to her on the outdoor sofa that was there. He handed her a glass of champagne.
"To the Samrum." He said, offering his glass.
Morgana smiled. "To the Samrum." She said as she clinked her glass with his.
Merlin poured his back while Morgana sipped hers.
"Normal life. Do you think we will be able to do it?" He asked.
"Of course. It is just what we did in between kills."
"Yeah but can you honest say that you know what that is like. I remember just being bored until I got my next case. Then it was just hiding it all from Freya."
"I had to hide it from Morgause."
"She must be happier now."
"Yeah she is now as she won't see a report about my death. She still wants me to bring you to Ireland so that she can meet you."
"I am sure it can be arranged. My mum wants to meet you."
Morgana slide his glass out of his grip before placing it onto the table next to her. She brought herself closer to him.
"Maybe we don't need to remember what normal life feels like. Who says our lives ever have to be normal."
"Suppose you have a point there."
She pulled him towards her and locked their lips together. Merlin brought her round to straddle his lap and a less awkward angle.
This was it. It was the end of one life and the start of another.
And they didn't need anyone else.
