Hey guys! Thankyou so much for the reviews it really means a-lot to me! sorry it took so long but it was as if this chapter had no end! So I hope you enjoy and please please please leave a review! xxx

I had less than an hour to sit by myself and process what happened before I was summoned into the throne room to meet with who I now knew to be King Arthur of Camelot. I can remember walking up to those towering wooden doors and across the hallway which seemed to stretch on forever hoping that someone would let me in on what was happening before I went crazy. In my nervousness I began to fiddle with my locket that had strange language etched onto the silver surface, by the time I looked up again I was less than a stones throw from the King himself. Naturally I felt the need to do a curtsey or bow but I was agitated by my lack of knowledge and for that ,memory so I gave a curtsey so quick I wasn't even sure it had happened. However Arthur didn't seem to be focusing on me yet as he gave a quick nod to his knights who, as if expecting it, ushered everyone out of the room leaving only me, Merlin and Arthur in the room. For a moment we all watched each other, seeing who would speak first before Arthur broke the silence,

" I know you're confused now but I will explain why you are here." He started, to which I raised my eyebrows.

"But before I do that-" he continued.

"of course." I hummed under my breath expecting to be left in the dark again.

" I dont know your name." he ended obviously hearing what I said.

" Oh, it's Aspen." I told him staring down at my boots, feeling for once embarrassed. I remember him starting to say something but I was distracted by a searing burning pain in my head. And then suddenly the throne room swam before my vision and I was standing in the middle of a battle field. Bodies of soldiers on both sides lay strewn out before my feet under the blood red sky. And still more and more were fighting relentlessly, I remember having the worst feeling of urgency gnawing away in my stomach as I pushed past everyone, to where? I have no idea but my walk quickly turned into a run trying to find someone or something and then it happened. I heard a scream, it was impossible to figure out who's it was because it was so mangled and full anguish and I knew then I was too late, that I had failed. Then just as fast as it had arrived it was over and I was back in the throne room facing a very confused and concerned Arthur and Merlin.

" I'm fine, just- what's going on?"I sighed trying my hardest to get rid of the black and white dots that danced across my vision, constantly threatening to pull me under into sleep. Arthur seemed slightly shaken before trying to continue but failed , ending up pinching the bridge of his nose trying to form the words but failing miserably. Seeing that Arthur was going to tell me nothing I turned my attention to Merlin.

" Please just tell me..." I sighed, my head feeling as if it was splitting in half.

I couldn't tell if he was uncomfortable with my question or with me as there was a strange look of recognition in his eyes. And I wasn't sure if it was a good thing. None the less he told me anyway.

" Do you remember anything? Anything at all?" he asked to which I shook my head. At Merlin and Arthur exchanged a look of which I could not decipher. Merlin then cleared his throat before continuing.

" Me, Arthur and some of the knight's were doing a sweep of the forest's on the outskirts of Denariah when we found a group of rouge bandits, naturally we got rid of them-"

" Where is this we coming from Merlin? More like me and the knight's got rid of the bandits while you cowered away in the background" Arthur suddenly broke in.

" Anyway once the bandits were gone we found you among them and brought you back here ." he ended.

" What for safe keeping" I added sarcastically, to which I could swear I heard Arthur say 'something like that'

" Why don't I remember anything?" I questioned, forgetting about trying to be polite.

" You got suffered from quite an awful head injury during the fight. Judging from the shape and size of the scar I would say that it was the butt of a sword." an older voice spoke from the corner of the room. Arthur must have seen the look of confusion on my face as he filled in,

" This is our court physician Gaius, who happens to be the same man that treated your head injury and Merlin's guardian."

I squeezed my eyes shut and raised my hand to my head trying to suppress the waves of pain that were getting worse and worse with every passing second and managed a grim nod and well, what I hope looked like a smile in Gaius' direction, after all he did help me.

" Is something wrong child?" Gaius asked me, his kind wrinkled face staring into mine. I shook my head, desperately not wanting to have any more attention. However Gaius was a skilled and experienced physician who had none of it. He leaned slightly closer and tucked his hand under my chin, so that he could get a better look at the bruise.

" How is the pain?" he asked, his weathered blue eyes never leaving my forehead.

" Unbearable and in short bursts" I murmured back quietly. It was strange, even though it was clear to everyone I was in pain part of me still didn't want to admit it.

" Well-" he concluded releasing my chin. "- I am afraid there is nothing I can do for the pain... but I do know of a flower that could help. I do not have any left but i'm sure Merlin could get it for you. Wouldn't you my boy?" He suggested looking to Merlin. But I didn't want Merlin, or for that matter anyone,to go to any more trouble for me. And there was also the fact that I could feel Arthur's eyes looking at me as if searching for something. At that point I simply didn't care if Arthur was responsible for saving my life, staring was rude and and quite frankly very irritating.

" I'm fine honestly I just need some air." I breathed giving a smile, as if it would be proof that I was alright. All the while I was devising a plan for my escape from Camelot. What? You honestly didn't think that I believed that 'we found you with some bandits' rubbish. I may be young but I was not a fool. And with that I began to speed walk towards the great wooden doors before anyone could object. However it seems I wasn't quite fast enough as a firm hand landed on my shoulder stopping me in my tracks. I turned to meet the azure eyes of Arthur Pendragon.

" You know don't you?" he questioned. What I detected to be sadness and guilt glinting in his eyes. And thinking that he was talking about me knowing that he was lying about the bandits I nodded.

" I know I should have tried to tell you earlier but-" he started, regret lacing his every word.

" Tell me what?" I questioned, squinting my eyes in confusion.

" That I am your father."
