A/N: I combined chapters 3+4 because they were both pretty short. Enjoy!

Chapter 3

The round table was in session at the moment. The guards opened the door and Gwaine strode in after telling me to wait outside the room.

"Sire!"

My father stood, "Gwaine, why are you here? You should still be in Dorian."

"I know sire but you see I stumbled upon something that I reaAlized is the reason for Dorian to be so secretive towards us."

"What do you mean?"

"Hold on sire." He walked out into the hallway.

"C'mon Lil, your time to shine. "

He took my hand and led me into the room. I curtsied, "Hello Sire, Hello Milady." I said to my parents

"Who are you? Gwaine, What is the meaning of this?"

All of a sudden, Merlin who was sitting at my father's right side gasped. He was staring at me. He stood slowly.

"No, it can't be..." He walked over to me, "it's not possible..." He lifted a shaking hand and placed it on the side of my face. I leaned into his touch. I looked at my dearest not-uncle. "Hello Uncle Merlin..." I whispered. He choked up.

"Merlin, What's going on? Who is she?" My father asked looking very confused now.

My uncle turned and looked at him.

" Arthur, How can you not see it?"

"See what?"

I put a hand on Merlin's arm and walked towards my father. He watched me warily.

My eyes started to tear up as I got closer suddenly realizing I wasn't alone anymore.

"Hi Daddy." I said looking him right in the eyes

His breath caught and his eyes widened.

"Oh my god." my parents whispered, "oh my god. Lillian!" He wrapped me in a bone crushing hug.

"What-How are you alive? You disappeared 20 years ago."

"Queen Anielle captured me."

Then my mother let out a cry and she hugged me again, desperately. I was then trapped in a hug with both of my parents.

"We've missed you."

That one statement sent me over the edge. I started to sob, I buried my head in my father's shoulder and cried like a baby.

"I missed you too."

Once my tears had run dry. I was exhausted, my knees buckled and I collapsed, my father caught me. "Are you okay?"

"Tired." I muttered.

"Okay sweetie. Council dismissed!" He said. He carried me to my old chambers.

"Tell everyone I'll greet them in the morning." I muttered sleepily.

"Ok Lils I promise."

"Good night daddy... It's nice to know that I'm not alone anymore."

He smiled sadly. "Good night my baby girl."

I fell asleep.

Arthur

I sat at her bedside all night afraid she would just disappear before my eyes. As I sat there, I thought back to the last time I had seen my daughter. I couldn't even remember! Her bond with Merlin had always been strong and he had recognized her easily. Merlin walked into the room. "How is she?" He whispered.

"She looks ok, just absolutely exhausted."

"Gosh, I never thought I'd see her again. I should've stayed with her when she ran away from the battle."

"Don't you ever blame yourself for this. You were protecting her and she was captured." She moved in her sleep and cried out slightly. I ran a hand through my daughter's hair.

"If anyone should blame themselves it's me. I'm her father I was supposed to protect her and I didn't."

Merlin put his hand on my shoulder.

"You should sleep." He said, "Gwen needs you, I'll stay with her."

Just than she screamed, "No!", she started to cry in her sleep. I shook her, "Lillian?" She woke up and looked around frightened. Then she saw me, "Daddy?", She said.

"Hey sweetheart..."

She then broke down into tears again. I wrapped my arms around her.

Merlin came and sat behind us, stroking her hair, "You're home, Lils, you're home." We held her until she fell asleep. Then we both looked at each other thinking the same thing. What did they do to my little girl that gave her nightmares?
