Heyya!

I just finished the last chapter of my first Merlin fic today (You're probably thinking: Really? A new Merlin fic so soon)

– I have too many cool story ideas and can't stop writing!

So I decided to try and write this. Oh and like my other Merlin fanfictions, Gwen and Arthur aren't together. Anyway, I hope you like it! Please review – because you guys are awesome and I wanna hear what you have to say – and I will update this story as soon as possible! Enjoy! ;)

Fawn was walking through the busy streets of Camelot holding a water stained map of the city. She was a fairly tall girl with pale skin and deep blue eyes, and her hair was long, it's color a dark-chocolate brown.

She was on a mission of sorts. It was a mission to find someone who was lost to her a very long time ago. When Fawn was but a mere six year old girl, and she was innocently picking raspberries in the woods for her mother and older brother, she was suddenly abducted and taken from her home. She grew up in cage after cage, having to let people look her over to see if she was 'worthy enough' to be their new slave. That's right – it was slave traders who took her.

Finally at the age of eighteen she managed to escape from her most recent buyer, some noble deep within Cenred's territory, and stormed through the woods to get away. Fawn struggled, but with every ounce of energy she had left, she found her way back to her small village on the outskirts of Cenred's Kingdom – Ealdor.

She was in rags for clothes and had no shoes; her feet were bloody from the long journey. Her arms and back were scarred with whip marks, some newer while others years old. Fawn was worried she may not be recognized after all these years, and was nervous as she stepped out from behind the trees and came face-to-face with her long lost home. Fawn walked through the village; ignoring the odd and dirty glares she was receiving from some of men and women. Finally, in a matter of minutes but what seemed to Fawn like hours, she made it to the little house she remembered oh so well. With her hand shaking she lightly knocked on the door, it was so light of a knock that Fawn thought no one would hear. However, to her delight, a woman opened it, the hinges creaking.

Hunith stood at the entrance to her home with pure shock written all over her features. She would recognize that face anywhere – the face of her daughter.

Fawn began to cry tears of joy as her mother engulfed her in a hug, and she fell to her knees being shaken with sobs. Hunith followed her to the ground and kept her arms tightly wrapped around her daughter, her long lost daughter. "I thought I would never see you again… I had lost hope," Hunith explained while graciously running her fingers through Fawn's soft hair, "You've grown in to such a beautiful young lady… I've missed you so much."

Fawn smiled her first real smile in years, "I've missed you too mother!" Neither of them dare pulled away from the embrace as if they thought they would be taken from each other again.

"Where's my brother?! Where's Merlin?" Fawn asked suddenly wanting to see how her older sibling looked, wanting to give him a hug and hear his voice for the first time in twelve years.

"He's in Camelot – has been a few years now." Hunith told her whilst still stroking Fawn's dark hair.

"How old his he know?" Fawn couldn't remember. The last time she saw him was when she was only six years old.

"Twenty-four…" Hunith pulled away to place her hand on her daughters cheek, and studied her face, "you've both grown up so much." She blinked trying to rid the tears from her eyes. "Come inside – I have clothes you can wear and some bread to eat. You must tell me of everything that has happened. I thought you were dead!"

Fawn wiped away her mother's tears and hugged her again, "I'm right here, mother… and I'm not going anywhere. Let us go inside – Shall we?" She stood and she helped her mother up. They leaned on each other for support and walked indoors.

Now Fawn was in the bustling city of Camelot trying to find her brother. She had spent two long, wonderful weeks with Hunith, but now it was time to see how much her sibling had grown – both in height and magic.

Abruptly she turned around to find herself slamming into someone and falling over.

"Oh my! I'm terrible sorry – I had my hands full you see – literally – and I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, and now you're on the ground! Oh dear, let me help you up." The kind lady reached out her hand and help Fawn to stand. However, Fawn quickly found herself on the ground again helping pick up all the fallen objects, most of them being sheets and blankets. "Thank you… I don't think I've seen you around here before. What's your name?"

Fawn wiped the dirt of her skirt before answering, "My name is Fawn, and you?"

"I'm Guinevere, but my friends just call me Gwen! So – what brings you to Camelot?"

"I'm looking for someone." Fawn explained.

"Oh, well I know most everyone, so if you need any help just let me know… Wait, do you have a place to stay?" Gwen asked.

"No, not as of yet."

"Well why don't you come home with me, I'm sure my brother won't mind, but only until you find whomever it is your looking for, of course."

Fawn smiled, she loved people like Gwen, they were so kind and their hearts so big, "I'd like that very much – as long as it's not too much trouble… Oh and I have to ask, is there still a ban on magic? My mother didn't tell me much of how Camelot's changed."

"It's no trouble at all – come along," Gwen began walking home with Fawn following close behind, "and the Magic ban was lifted a few months ago – my best friend is even the new court sorcerer… or – er – warlock, I believe he says."

"Really? I would love to meet him, I have magic as well, and so does my brother." Fawn told her.

"Where's your brother?" Gwen asked.

"He's actually the one I came here to find. I haven't seen him in a long while…"

"Well, after we get you all washed up I'll take you to go see the court sorcerer, I'm sure he'd love to meet you, oh and Arthur will be with him. They're probably training the knights right now."

"You mean King Arthur?!" Fawn was shocked – how could a peasant have the right to go randomly speak to the king and his court sorcerer (or warlock).

"Yes, of course, they are my dear friends, as well as the knights. In fact, I was planning on bringing them all lunch anyway. Would you like to join me?" They were in Gwen's home now, it was small but nice and it reminded Fawn of her house back in Ealdor.

"I would love to…" She broke off, looking at all the beautiful flowers that filled the home, and then she realized no one else was there, "So where is your brother? What work does he do?"

"My brother, Elyan, is actually on of the knights!" Gwen stated proudly.

"A commoner – a knight of Camelot?" Fawn was confused, so much had changed.

"Yes, indeed. After Arthur inherited the throne, a lot of things changed for the better." Gwen was preparing some food and putting it into a basket.

"Sounds wonderful – Arthur must be a great king."

"He has his moments of being an absolute 'prat' – as our wonderful court sorcerer calls him – but he is, for certain, a better king than his father ever was." Gwen handed Fawn one of the two baskets filled with food and they headed out the door and toward the training field. Camelot was at its best. The people were happy, the kingdom was safe, and those who practiced magic were beginning to come out of hiding. It was truly a new dawn and everyone was excited about it.

They finally made it to the training grounds where they saw Merlin throwing rocks at the knights using his magic, which they had to dodge and shield themselves from.

"Merlin?!" Fawn whispered because she couldn't believe her eyes

"You know him? He's the court sor-er-warlock, and my best friend." Gwen told her.

"H-he is the one I was looking for… That's my brother!" Fawn exclaimed.

Gwen drew back in shock, she had no idea Merlin had a sister. Fawn, on the other hand, was drawn forward, and couldn't stand still any longer.

Fawn took off running, "Merlin!" she shouted, and he turned around to see her. All the knights stopped what they were doing at the yell of his name and Arthur looked utterly confused. A girl that knows Merlin – that isn't Gwen. They were all a bit surprised. However, what happened next took them by surprise even more.

Merlin almost immediately recognized her, "Fawn?!" He ran to her and engulfed her in a hug, lifting her off her feet and spinning her around.

Fawn was finally reunited with her older brother.

"Is it really you? You're alive?!" Merlin took in all her features; she had grown so much and was so beautiful. "I thought you were gone forever!" He picked her up and spun her around again. The knights were in awe – they didn't realize he was that strong.

"I have missed you so much! I found mother in Ealdor, and she told be of all the things you have done. I had to come and find you!" She took his face in her hands and brushed over his cheek with her thumb just like Hunith had done to her. She smiled so brightly, as she put her forehead to his, "I wish we could have grown together. I have thought about you every day."

"I have missed you just as much… I thought you were dead." Merlin's voice faltered around the word 'dead'.

Their special moment was suddenly interrupted when the knights of the roundtable walked over with plain shock all over their faces.

"When did you get a girlfriend, Merlin?" Gwain asked with his voice actually serious.

"Why did you never tell me? I mean – I probably would never have believed you could actually get with a girl – but, it hurts that I never knew about her!" Arthur teased yet still couldn't believe his eyes.

"Guys – stop! She's not my girlfriend she… She's my sister." Merlin explained. All the knight's jaws dropped as they suddenly saw the resemblance between the two. Merlin was taller and she had dark brown hair instead of black, but their eyes and face were nearly identical.

"And her names Fawn." Gwen told them as she walked up to stand beside her new friend.

"Merlin…" Arthur started.

"Yes, sire?"

"You and your sister have some explaining to do. I didn't even know you had a sister!"

"All in good time, prat." Merlin sighed.

"Why don't we start now," Gwen suggested, "I brought food, so how about we all take a break and hear what these two have to say."

Everyone nodded in agreement and they sat down. Merlin and Fawn explained everything, except the more delicate topics and information. Soon they were all laughing and joking around – learning more and more about this new girl whom just arrived in Camelot.

Fawn realized she was going to like it here. It was time to make up for lost time.

So do you guys think I should continue? Do you like the story so far? I was really excited to make this fic - so I hoped you liked it. I will be adding a new chapter soon. :3
