Epilogue
Morgana leFay, technically, Pendragon if you listened to the rumors flying around (not literally, this isn't Harry Potter after all), sat in her brother's and best-friend-since-Gwen's room and listened to them bicker (argue really) over Merlin's stalker. Really, she thought, sipping her soda, they just need to make out, and get this over with.
"I'm going to run that mother fucking son of a bitch over with my fucking car if he comes near you one more time! He fucking hit you! The son of a fucking bitch hit you! I thought you said you were handling this!" Arthur snapped.
"I am! I've been talking with Nimueh about him! She's promised to get hold of him. And I swear, I'm fine!"
Morgana snapped her head at this. If Nimueh, the teacher the students in the magical classes hated the most, was helping Merlin with this problem, then it was bad. Who was hurting Merlin?
"Merlin," she drawled, leaning forward. "Please, tell me who's causing you so much trouble you're going to Nimueh about this?"
Arthur crossed his arms. "We've been living together for five months, and you still haven't told me the rat bastard's name!" Arthur said, pissed.
"Mordred. Mordred Green," Merlin said, looking at the floor. "He's pretty involved in the magical community, but it's still…
Arthur grabbed his boyfriend's arms and pulled him to his feet. "We'll take care of him. Just, stay out of his way, please. Avoid him whenever you can. Please," he implored.
Merlin nodded, and laid his head on Arthur's shoulder, drawing strength from his boyfriend. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier… I never meant for you to find out this way.
Morgana had never seen two people complement each other as well as these two did. She sighed. She was going to make sure Mordred Green regretted the days he ever set his sights on Merlin Emrys. No one messed with the Pendragon family and their partners and lived to tell the tale.
One well-placed call to Uther, she knew, and they would never have to worry about the warlock stalking Merlin ever again. Uther was fond of Merlin. Neither of the boys knew why, and Morgana wasn't sure she even knew. She knew that Uther and Hunith had recognized each other earlier in the year when they were moving the boys into their room.
But she didn't know why.
She excused herself quietly, leaving the boys tangled up in each other's arm, standing there, pulling comfort from one another.
"Uther, we have a problem," she said, upon his secretary, Catrina, putting Morgana through to her father.
"What is it?" Uther asked, recognizing the tone from whenever Morgana had had a vision, or something was wrong.
Morgana sighed. "It's Merlin. He has a stalker. Arthur's ready to have Ewan run him over and shoot the idiot stalking Merlin."
"As well he should!" Uther snapped. "Very well. Who's dealing with this situation on your end? And if it is Arthur, tell him he should be with Merlin!"
"It's Professor Nimueh, Uther. She's grown very fond of Merlin this year and she's willing to do anything for him."
She could almost see Uther nodding. "Fine. I shall deal with anything else. Give Nim a message for me. Tell her that if anything should happen to Merlin's stalker, magical or otherwise, she has the full backing of Camelot Inc. behind her."
Morgana broke out into her infamous evil grin. "I shall, Uther. I shall very gladly do so."
Merlin rested his head on Arthur's shoulder. "I'm sorry. I should have told you sooner."
"Damn right you should have. I should have pushed harder back in August when you mentioned him in the first place." Arthur gripped Merlin's shoulders and pushed him back so he could look at hid boyfriend. "I'm serious, love. This is getting very dangerous. Very dangerous."
"I know. I screwed up."
"Just a little bit."
Morgana knocked on the door to Professor Nimueh Priest. She held bated breath as Nimueh called, "It's open."
The young woman slipped into the room. Nimueh looked up. "Morgana. To what do I owe this pleasure?"
"I have a message." Morgana leaned up against the closed door. It was a striking contrast. Nimueh was sitting behind her desk, wearing a red business suit. Morgana was wearing a green jacket that contrasted with her dark hair and pale skin, just as Nimueh's outfit enhanced it. It would have made a beautiful photograph, if someone would have been there to photograph it.
Nimueh leaned forward. "Yes?"
"Uther told me to tell you that if anything should happen to Merlin's stalker, magical or otherwise, you have the full backing of Camelot Inc. behind you," Morgana said, smirking. "And you have mine. I am a powerful Seer and sorcerer. You know that. You have worked with me before."
The predatory smirk on Nimueh's face would have been scary were it not directed at Mordred Green. "Very good. Mordred won't know what has hit him."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Two Weeks Later ~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Arthur and Merlin were sitting down in the SURC eating breakfast. Arthur was reading the local paper, and Merlin was reading his Psych 101 text book. "What happened to Green?" Arthur asked, looking at the page six.
Merlin looked up from his text book. "I actually don't know. I haven't seen him around in a week. Nimueh's been very smug recently. Why?"
"The paper says that the police found a body. Badly burned. Police suspect magic."
The black haired boy's head shot up. "What?"
Arthur shook his head. "I'm serious. I'm betting my father had something to do with this. Morgana too."
"And Nimueh. She's been too smug." Merlin put his head into his hands. "Gods…"
"Hon, look… I know you didn't like the son of a bitch, but this is a normal reaction," Arthur said. "But this is for the best. He can't hurt anyone else this way."
Merlin looked at his boyfriend. "Maybe it is for the best."
