Hello one and all. Thank you to those who have review so far. Also thank you for waiting for this chapter.

Enjoy.

Two days had gone by since Morgana had put Huith and Uther under the love spell and nothing much had happened. She was starting to wonder if the potion hadn't worked.

However, she was quickly proven wrong as she saw Uther sneak towards Gaius's chamber with what she thought was a note. The sun was going down so all the young witch could do was keep her fingers crossed.

Uther walked quietly towards Gaius's chambers. He wasn't intending to see anyone, just dropping off a note for someone special. Ever since the time they banged into each other and picked up one another's stuff, he hadn't stopped thinking about her. He beautiful face, her shy smile... He had to see her again. He hid under an arch as some of his knights walked past. He came out again and picked up his speed towards Gaius's chambers. He opened the door and checked that no one was there. He knew that the boy would be up in the bed, so he needed to be quiet. He walked over to where he knew she was sleeping and dropped the note bed. Then, without a word, he left as quietly as he had entered.

Later that day soon before the sun had gone completely down, Huith had come back to find the note. She flicked it open and read it silently and secretly.

My love.

Meet me at the stables by moonlight.

Your lover...

Huith's heart skipped several beats. Could it be him? The man that she hadn't stopped thinking about since they banged into each other and picked up one another's stuff? That kind, soft face...

She didn't waste a second as the sun had basically gone down and the moon now rising. Before she could go, Gaius came into the room. She had just finished putting on her coat.

"Where you off to? You just got back by the looks of things." He said, slightly confused about where she was going after dark.

"Nowhere. I'll be back soon, promise." She said with that soft smile that got Gaius to let her do anything. He smiled sweetly back at her.

"All right, just don't be gone too long. Merlin will worry like there's no tomorrow." He said without suspecting anything going on. She hugged and kissed him on the check before walking out of the room and only did so know that she was going towards the stables.

She walked quite quickly down the corridor. She walked past some knights that looked at her oddly, but she didn't really care as she had nothing to hide. She quickly went down the stairs and walked out into the courtyard. She walked forward and looked around. Where did Merlin once say where the stables were? Over in the corner of the courtyard. How could she forget that? She looked over at them and started to walk over. She did not hurry, did not take forever either. She entered the stables and came face to face with a horse. She stepped backwards a bit startled at first, but then stroked its main and hushed it. She had met the horses before. Merlin had showed her them. She knew all of their names: Lucy, Fay, Vixen, Zeon, Xcalum, Fred, John, John Jr, Kim and Bob. These were all of Arthur's horses, Vixen being his main ones. She had heard that the King himself owned a hundred a three all for himself. She knew it was stupid. All the horses started to make noises and Huith was able to calm them all before anyone got suspicious.

"You're very good with horses." Huith turned round to see a figure with a hood, standing in the corner. Her heart beat faster as she knew it was him. The figure walked closer towards her, both were silent as they came face to face. Huith was unable to see his face as it was too dark.

"Please, may you remove your hood?" She asked her, eyes sparkling in the moonlight. He smiled, happy to take it off. He took off his hood to show his face. King Uther. Huith felt like gasping at the fact that the King could fall for such a person as she. However, he had and both felt the same way. He leaned in, both ready to kiss one another...

DING!... DING!... DING!

Went the warning bell. They both pulled apart, lips never touching. Both looking rather shy, Uther was able to speak.

"I shall see you soon, hurry back to Gaius chambers." As he said this, he held her hands in his. Her eyes were fixed on them, but she shook herself out of that trance to meet his eyes. She nodded. He smiled letting go of her hands, pulling his hood up and walking away.

A week had gone by since Huith and Uther had talked in the stables and each night she had been secretly been invited to Uther's chambers. Nothing happened. They both just enjoyed one another's company, talking and sometimes drinking a cup of wine. Twice in that week, she and Uther had somehow managed to slip away during the day and go for a horse rid. Uther spent most of that time trying to teach Huith how to rid. No one suspected anything and that was the best bit about it all. However, they had not yet kissed.

Then things all went downhill, and it started on the seventh night.

Huith was getting ready to sneak out, when Gwen and Gaius had come back. Gaius frowned.

"Now where you off to?" He asked. Huith knew he wouldn't let her go unless she had a good reason and apart from the fact that she was going off to see someone, she didn't really have one. She walked past the pair and picked up her coat to put on.

"Well, there's no point in lying. I've been... seeing someone." She said shyly. Gaius's eyebrows went up. Gwen, however, took it differently.

"Well good for you. I'm sure Gaius here will let you go." She said, patting Gaius on his back, giving him a look. He sighed, not wanting to let her go.

"All right off you go, but I want you back by ten." He said, sounding a bit like Huith's father.

"Thank you," she turned to leave, but turned back. "Also, please don't tell Merlin. He'll do whatever it takes to ruin my relations." Gwen and Gaius both nodded, completely understanding. Huith smiled and walked out the room. She closed the open door behind her.

However, what no one knew was that Merlin was leaning up against the wall behind the door. Gwen's face was frozen and Gaius's mouth was wide open making a funny noise. Merlin had heard everything. Gaius finally got himself together, but could only say:

"Eeerrr, shouldn't you be in bed?" It was Merlin's turn to raise an eyebrow. He sighed and went to open the door.

"If anyone needs me, I'll be killing my mother's new boyfriend."

"Merlin, wait," Gaius said grabbing him by the arm. "Not tonight. Talk to her in the morning... this and you are in no fit condition to go a kill someone." He said, making his point clear that he should just go back to bed. Merlin sighed, shaking off Gaius's hand. He slowly hopped towards his room and slammed the door behind him. Gaius sighed himself.

War had just begun.

Well? Good?, bad?, rushed? (I think it was a bit rushed). I'm not sure, but the next chapter might be quite long.

Review please.
