Chapter Fifteen – Lies and Pain
'Oh Arthur…' Morgana whispered as she threw her head back and moaned once again, Arthur's hand grasping a handful of her rich hair as she straddled his lap and moved above him while he rested against the headboard of the hospital bed.
'They… will hear… us…' Arthur gasped as he kissed her shoulder and bit on her neck as to stop his own moans, they were in a hospital and it was minutes until the nurse would bring breakfast and the doctors would check on Morgana…
'You… took advantage of a damsel in distress… on her hospital bed for Goddess' sake…' Morgana gasped back her reply and he paused his thrusting with a small sweaty grin.
'The damsel almost raped me a few minutes prior…' he whispered and she gave a sexy chuckle.
'You didn't complain…' she retorted and he thrust up within her and she moaned and gasped, her nails clawing at his shoulder's skin.
'Just keep going,' he finally whispered his "command" as he had nothing else to add to her witty remarks. They kept on moving against each other until Morgana again reached her climax first and Arthur followed shortly after as the room filled with the sunrise's light. The two lovers held each other on their position, kissing and whispering sweet nothings at each other, it had been a few hours from the previous night when they joint for the first time and they had became one many times through the remainder.
'You think we fulfilled some prophesy somehow?' Morgana asked and Arthur sighed as he caressed her shoulder and kissed her neck.
'Does it matter?' he asked tiredly and she sighed.
'One of them talks of an heir… so I guess it does…' she whispered and this time he looked at her as she was still on his lap with her legs around his waist, they had used no protection and they hadn't even thought about it.
'Would it be bad if we had a child?' he asked and she smiled.
'If you don't keep into account that we know each other for only some weeks, that our countries are in the edge of war, that I destroyed my engagement with King Merrick and you turned against your father… no I think we're just fine to become parents of a baby…' she finally said and he smiled and gently tagged away a lock from her face.
'So we're good… even if there is a baby…' he confirmed and she shook her head in disbelief yet with a smile on her face.
'I love you.' She whispered and he smiled and kissed her lips softly.
'I love you too…' he whispered against her soft lips and they rested their foreheads against each other to calm down themselves.
'We shouldn't tell anyone about last night and our activities up until now… we should keep it a secret…' Morgana whispered after a moment and Arthur nodded and sighed.
'I must face Uther,' he whispered and for the first time, he used his father's name, all titles of family and nobility forgotten, like his love for the man who lied to him for his very heritage. Morgana sighed and caressed the claw scars she left on his skin.
'You need to be calmed, you need not to act on impulse, Arthur,' she advised and he nodded and cupped her face.
'Swear to me you will always be at my side, even if you must go back to Avalon…' he required and she smiled and cupped his own face.
'Swear to me the same; you will always be there for me, even if war separates us…' Morgana did the same and he smiled.
'I swear,' they said at the same time and sealed their vow with a kiss of tenderness as the room was now showered in the colors of dawn.
'We better get dressed before people start parading in here.' Morgana whispered and Arthur nodded as they broke their embrace and he stood up and reached for his clothes like Morgana did with her hospital gown, she returned under the blankets and sat on the bed while Arthur straightened up his clothes the moment the nurse knocked on the door. Arthur checked his blackberry and saw many unanswered calls from Merlin and the palace but he decided to ignore everything for now with a frown, he would face everyone in awhile.
'Prince Arthur,' the nurse said surprised to see the royal prince still in the princess' chambers.
'I arrived a few minutes prior to talk with the princess,' Arthur said and bowed slightly to Morgana at her mention, the witch tried to suppress her grin at his lies and she nodded as soberly to the nurse.
'You have informed her about the Queen's arrival, then?' the nurse asked as she brought the breakfast tray closer and took Morgana's temperature before she could scribe down something on her chart.
'What Queen?' they both asked and the nurse looked at them in confusion.
'Queen Morgause will be here shortly with her escort and healers from Avalon for the princess, we were just informed by the Chief Resident of the hospital.' The nurse said and both Arthur and Morgana looked at each other in shock, how could she be allowed in Camelot?
'You should go to the palace… your highness,' Morgana said and remembered to use the formality at the end before the nurse. Arthur nodded his head as he looked back at his blackberry as it vibrated again with a call from Uther's office.
'Maybe I should…' he said and sighed as he looked at Morgana, he wished he could kiss her goodbye but he couldn't with the nurse in their presence, he sighed, offered his hand for her to take and kissed the back of it when she gave it. 'Your majesty,' he said and she nodded her head.
'It was my pleasure to see you again, sire,' Morgana said and wished she would see him again, Morgause was on her way and possibly ready to take her away immediately, this was their goodbye for now and she hated herself for allowing this to happen so easily.
Arthur left the room in a hurry, he needed answers and to compose himself before he could face Uther and Merlin, his friend had lied to him but his lies had seemed harmless before what Uther had been hiding for so many years, now he had to face both and remain cool, he would try to listen to Morgana, he would try to speak to Merlin and he would try not to kill Uther, until then, he would drive back to Camelot with one thing in mind, trust no one.
In her way in with her jeep, Morgause saw Arthur's car leaving the hospital, she wished she could smile at her plan, a plan hatched by Uther's help, but only she could frown and sigh, she was about to completely destroy her sister, yet she had no other way, if Morgana's womb was to cherish Arthur's child, both Morgause and Uther were lost and the older Le Fay knew it.
The royal jeep entered the hospital and she was led along her healers to Morgana's chambers to her shock, finding Morgana awake and seemingly sound and safe on her bed. She rushed close to her dumbstruck sister and hugged her tightly, above all, she cared of her wellbeing, she would deal with the sins she was about to commit later.
'You're alive…' Morgause whispered as she hugged her sister and Morgana could only wrap her sister in a hug for answer.
'How you made it to cross the borders?' the younger Le Fay asked as she tried to push away the healers who attended to her the moment her sister moved a step back and took away her tears with her hand.
'How did you get out of the coma?' Morgause asked her own question and Morgana shook her head.
'No one knows… I just did, possibly my powers,' she lied lamely but her sister nodded, it was known the Le Fays were strong biological beings… it could be true so Morgana played along with the possibilities as she didn't want to expose Merlin.
'Uther summoned me and I was allowed to enter this cursed place.' Morgause said and Morgana frowned at the words. 'Since the princess is alright, please talk with the Camelotians for the corpses of the jet's crew, we must take them back to our land.' Morgause dismissed the Healers who nodded and left the room after her commands. 'How could you sneak out of Avalon like that?' Morgause asked when the people were out of the room. Morgana tried to feel guilty but Arthur's gentle touch still lingered on her skin and she truly couldn't.
'I told you I wouldn't marry Merrick… I just didn't expect you said the truth about the Druids…' Morgana finally answered and saw her sister's hurt.
'I never lied to you…' Morgause prepared the ground for her lie and Morgana sighed and nodded.
'How did you manage to get in here?' Morgana finally asked, she could see the sadness of the other woman's eyes, the pain and the worry and it created a knot in her own stomach as if something like a poison was to be unleashed within her.
'Morgana… we must talk…' Morgause whispered and Morgana waited for her sister to look back in her eyes. 'You know Uther would never let me reach you if it wasn't for his own advantage…' Morgause elaborated and Morgana nodded, still waiting in silence. 'You know he would only take care of what concerned him…' Morgause added and Morgana huffed.
'Tell me,' she urged and this time Morgause looked at her sister's crystal green eyes.
'Uther allowed me and my healers to reach you for one reason and only…' Morgause went on and took a breath before she could shatter her sister. 'He wanted to save his only daughter… you.' She finally said and saw it clearly in her sister's eyes. The light died after a moment of fight, and terror consumed her face as she broke the handhold and almost backed away from her sister.
'What?' she asked in a broken scream and her sister tried to move closer but Morgana batted her hands away, she was hyperventilating, losing control as her eyes filled with tears. 'I don't believe you!' She screamed again and again, all that she could think of was the images of Arthur above her from last night, her mother's words of how great Gorlois had been, of the pictures she had of Gorlois in her room, of Uther's angry face during the balls and the meetings, Arthur's gentle touch, his kisses and his whispered groans as he drove within her, her brother, she wanted to vomit and tore her own skin.
'Morgana… calm down, I'm begging you, it was mother's choice not to tell you, dad never knew, it was what she told me, and it was what Uther confirmed, you're a Le Fay as much as I am, I had asked you to get close to the prince but I never imagined… I never expected of you to fall in love with him, but it's ok it doesn't matter, we'll leave, we'll leave it behind, we'll return to Avalon and you'll take your place on Mora's throne, it will be ok,' Morgause tried to calm her sister for entirely different reasons, not knowing she was already too late in repairing things that didn't need repair.
'No!' Morgana screamed as she almost wrestled with her sister who tried to keep her down on the bed, she was still weak, still tired but she only wanted to run away, to go where? She had no idea, she had just vowed to Arthur to always be there for him, they had talked of children, what if she was pregnant indeed? What if they had fulfilled the prophesies? What if she was expecting her brother's child? 'You're lying!' she screamed desperately at Morgause in her shock. Her sister's eyes were full of tears.
'I would never lie to you,' the words hurt Morgause but she uttered them as she watched her sister collapsing. Morgana finally stopped fighting and broke down in her sister's arms, Morgause had made it, she had destroyed her.
Arthur drove to the castle with speed, he needed to face everyone, something he looked forward to and resented at the same time, he had to know how Morgause had made it to get to Igraine Hospital and why Uther had let her in when a few hours ago, he was blackmailing her with Morgana's supposed death.
He reached the front gates and moved through them, drove up to the main garage and abandoned his car as soon as he was inside, the first person he encountered was Guinevere of all people, looking worried and sad.
'Where have you been? Merlin has been calling you, he needs to tell you something really important! He asked me to be here the moment you would return, you must him right now.' Gwen said as Arthur moved within the corridor. Merlin and his excuses over his magic could wait, he had to face his father first.
'Later,' Arthur finally said and Gwen was ready to protest but Arthur paused and looked at her. 'He must wait, there are priorities I must tend to, Gwen, important things,' he tried to explain without elaborating as to stop her and she did so, finally sighing and nodding.
'Please, as soon as you're done, you must see him, he looked like a shadow of himself and he doesn't tell me what's wrong, he disappeared in the library and he said he had to prove something but he's not saying a word more, he wants to talk to you and only.' Gwen said and Arthur sighed and nodded, Merlin, like Gwen and Lancelot, were his closest friend, he couldn't trust him, and he still felt betrayed but Morgana had been right, he should forgive him, but first, he had to learn what was going on between Morgause and his own kingdom.
Arthur left Gwen behind him and without knocking on the door, moved inside Uther's office to find his father on his chair, facing his linked fingers with a frown of worry, he raised his cold eyes upon his son at the younger man's arrival. Arthur closed the door and took a breath, this man had sacrificed his mother as to get his so wanted son. Arthur had to remain calm, they had been involved in a small fight before, now Arthur had every right to slaughter the monster before him yet he remained cool, he did what he was advised to from Morgana, the only reason for his composure not to break, he had to protect her, grand her exit from Camelot to the safety of her people, even if it meant he wouldn't see her for long if not ever, he had to help her above all.
'Father,' Arthur's voice gave the slightest of tremors and Uther nodded and stood up, waiting for the younger man to start. 'Explain to me how you allowed Queen Morgause inside Camelot, what do I not know that happened in the previous hours?' he asked and Uther sighed and moved around the desk and closer to his son.
'Arthur, I can explain but I need you to remain calm, I need you to understand.' Uther said and Arthur looked at his father with feared eyes. 'I had my reasons not to trust Morgause and I had my reasons not to want Morgana…' Uther went on and Arthur remained silent.
'I know I had told you to get close to her to see what she could want, but I knew you wouldn't compromise a fellow royal so I wasn't afraid… but I never expected of you to have feelings for her, I never expected…' Uther's voice trailed off and Arthur waited in confusion.
'You're not answering my question…' he tried and Uther sighed and nodded as he looked at his son again.
'I would never let Morgana die… I couldn't do such thing… even if I had to use magic, I wouldn't let her die, I had promised her mother I would keep her safe,' Uther went on and Arthur this time frowned.
'Her mother? What Queen Vivienne has to do with anything?' he asked and Uther sighed and moved away from his son and closer to the window of the study.
'I… I didn't mean for you to learn about it but you must learn the truth, you must know so you can see the light, you can't be with Morgana, not in any kind of way, not only because she's a witch, not only because she's the future queen of Mora and has the blood of the fays… there are more reasons, more serious reasons, reasons that can't be overseen, can't be violated.' Uther said in a desperate voice and Arthur waited, he knew he wouldn't like what he was about to hear, he knew he would lose all his composure within seconds.
'When Gorlois was still in the rise of power, so was I, he married Vivienne and had Morgause, but then he had to be in many wars in Albion's name against the Saxons… the Treaty had kept the kingdoms united, and the royals were free to move within the borders until the Purge…Yet Vivienne grew lonely and more than once sneaked in Camelot… when she visited, while Gorlois was just about to return…. We… Vivienne and I… had a small affair behind his back… if it wasn't for Vivienne's powers and lies, Gorlois would have found out and he would have even killed her with his own hands…'Uther went on and finally faced his only child to reveal his lie. 'Vivienne conceived a little girl… Morgana… Morgana is my daughter…' he finally said.
The two Pendragons remained in a dead silence for a few moments. Arthur felt his heart freezing, his blood stopping within his veins, he felt a drumming noise within his head, knowing the blood within hadn't stopped, on the contrary, it was rushing inside him like lava. He felt Morgana's eyes on him, his fantasies awoke, his dreams of his children with her, the conversation they had about a possible child growing in her womb, her little moans of pleasure as they had made love last night, the same type of blood they shared and he gave to her, the little gasps of air she gave while her body had melted against his, the way she whispered his name, her beautiful eyes, her hair's aroma.
Morgana was his sister, they were of the same blood, she was a Pendragon from her paternal side… she was his little sister… his sister… he had been his sister's first lover, he had compromised his own sister.
Uther remained to look at his son, how his shoulders fell, how his face went blank, his eyes unfocused for a few moments, his lips quivered, his hands turned into fists. What the King didn't expect was the sudden movement towards him, Arthur almost leaped on him like a lion would do to the prey…. Uther could only raise his hands as to block the attack the moment Arthur's hands grasped and tightened around his neck.
'I'll kill you!' the prince grunted in fury as he pinned his father on the ground with his hands wrapped around his throat in a death grip.
