Chapter 4

"So let me get this right" Merlin spoke, they had now come back to camp and were now sat around the fire, Arthur had already fallen back to sleep when Chloe and Merlin had arrived back.

"So you're a witch a good witch who has come from the future and you have got something to back to someone here but you have no idea who they are?" he continued not sounding at all convinced.

"Yeah that's about right…look I know it doesn't sound very convincing but I'm telling the truth, I was sent here to give back a powerful locket, besides if I was evil why would I worry about you, why wouldn't I go about killing everyone in Camelot, I mean the evil doers are hardly known for their patience are they?" Chloe explained hoping she could convince Merlin, she didn't have time for him not to trust her.

"And look, why don't you keep an eye on me and that way if you think I'm up to no good you can report me to Arthur or Uther or anyone else you want" Chloe continued hoping that this would at least gain some kind of trust from him.

Merlin pondered this for a minute and thought about the situation and the more he thought about it he began to realize that even though it sounded farfetched he couldn't help but believing her and the more he noticed her he could help but think that he had met her somewhere else before.

"Ok but any suspicious goings on then I'll turn you over to Uther myself" Merlin replied after a few minutes of silence.

After about half an hour of silence Merlin spoke.

"Ok if your to stay here for awhile then we need a cover up, I mean we can hardly tell people that you rode in from the future on a horse can we?" Merlin continued looking over at Chloe and for most of the night afterwards they tried devising a story that they could tell people about Chloe and in the end they came up with that she was a cousin of Merlin's who had come to visit for a few weeks.

A time afterwards Chloe felt drowsiness come over her and she fell asleep.

As she woke up she was blinded by the sun it was really bright she thought, she then got up and walked over to the nearby lake and she stood there she began to wander if this was the infamous lake where the Lady of the Lake was from. As she looked out across the lake she didn't hear anyone walk back into the camp.

"So your Merlin's cousins are you?" Arthur announced which made Chloe jump; she turned around and came face to face with Arthur Pendragon, he was good looking she thought as she glanced at him, he looked really athletic and had a really cute baby face.

Oh my god I cant be thinking about this I have a job to do she thought. Wow she's beautiful, there's something unique about this girl I'm not sure what it is yet he thought and as he began to check her out he couldn't help but smile and a few minutes later there was a moment of weird tension.

"Oh great you two have already met I see" Merlin spoke as he had now arrived back to camp having no idea the tension he had broke.

After some time afterwards Arthur decided it was time to go back to Camelot however with only two horses, how were they going to get Chloe back as well.

"Well there's only one thing for it you'll have to ride with me" Arthur began

"Are you sure sire"? Chloe asked feeling a little bit awkward.

"Well you could ride with Merlin but you might not get back to Camelot in one piece" Arthur spoke as he smirked over at Merlin, where all Merlin could do was roll his eyes and mount his horse that had now been loaded with the camp equipment.

"Come on then we haven't got all day" Arthur spoke a little impatient one thing Arthur wasn't was patient.

"oh sorry sire" and with that she started to mount the horse however she stumbled back and nearly fell but Arthur was quick and with his right arm caught Chloe and pulled her back up on the horse, as she got up she hugged on to Arthur's torso, she had been right he was Athletic and as she hugged onto him she could feel his muscles in her hands as all three of them rode back to Camelot.
