It was lunchtime and as Chloe had no lessons she was free to do what she wanted, she had now finished in the shower and had dressed, today she went for a casual look with a plain white vest top and dark jeans, she also decided to have her long blonde hair straightened today and as she was putting her straightners away she could hear the familiar jingle sound that remind her of Christmas. As she turned around she saw John standing there with a smile on his face and something in his hands.
"For me" she asked as John handed the object over to her so that she could get a better look at it, she realized that it was a locket, it was a beautiful locket, the chain was gold and had unusual carvings around it, the locket face was a blue topaz, it was so beautiful and heavy she thought as she felt the weight of it.
"Wow its beautiful, you shouldn't have" she said sarcastically realizing that this probably had a supernatural connection rather than Johns sudden burst of generosity she thought.
"I didn't that locket is really old and the guardian responsible for looking after the locket was killed over it" he replied explaining the importance of the locket.
" And now your giving it to me, wow I feel really special" she began sarcastically, it kind of interested her how much people would do to gain extra power she thought as she started looking at the locket more closely.
"Not exactly, you see my bosses have realized that if we or more precisely you give it back to the original owner then it should be safe" he replied a little suspiciously
"Ok then where can I find them so that I can give it back" she replied "and why do you keep looking at me like that" she continued noting the suspicious looks that john had started giving her.
"Well you see in order to give it back to them you have to" he replied and for the last part he started to pat the air to signify something.
"Oh no… you don't mean I have to time travel" she replied realizing what the hand movements were all about.
"But I hate time traveling, my powers don't work in the past unless its to a time when I was born… and I'm guessing that where I'm going is a little further than that" she replied whining like a five year old.
"You could say that" he replied again a little suspiciously "and I've talked to my bosses and you will have access to all of your powers this time, it's a really a special and important circumstance" he replied
"Isn't there any one else they could get to do their dirty work for or does it have to be me?" she moaned
"Apparently it has to be you am not sure why they were a little vague on the why and if the reason you don't want to go is because you wont see me, they've given me special permission to keep popping in and checking on your progress" he replied a little full of himself.
" Ok but how do I get there and how do I get back" she replied after a few silent moments, realizing that moaning and whining wasn't going to do any good she thought.
"Well there should be a little spell in your book about how to get to the time you want and apparently when you get there they're should be someone to help you get back" he replied a little to vague.
"Ok…. but wait a minute I've just realized I have no idea where I'm going" she said a little anxious as to what part of history she was going back too.
It was getting really dark now and Merlin and Arthur were laid down at the camp they had set up with fire going in the middle of the space.
"So how did you get your father to agree to let you come hunting" Merlin asked a way to break the ice.
"He thinks were on a training trip, so remember that when we get back so that you get your story straight ok" he asked Merlin although it was more of an order.
"Yes sire of course" Merlin responded as he went back to looking up at the stars. He liked to look at the stars, when he looked at the stars it helped him to think about things, it was under the stars where he once thought about telling Arthur, Gwen and Lady Morganna the truth about who he really was but he always chickened out he was scared of what they would do, would they turn him in to uther or would they accept him like he hoped he would. Then he heard a noise from near the entrance of the woods and as he saw Arthur get up and go get is weapons something told Merlin to go himself.
"Arthur I'll go and see what the noise was and you wait here," he shouted at his prince. Before Arthur could reject Merlin's offer he had already run off into the dead of night.
As he was trying to locate the source the sound had come from someone or something suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, he suddenly turned around to fend of his attacker and realized that it was a girl, she was quite pretty but she looked just as confused and shocked as he did.
"Who are you?" he asked after a few minutes although he thought he had seen her somewhere before.
"My name is Chloe Parker she replied not believing where she was or the fact that she was standing in front of the legendary Merlin
