Chapter 5:

I woke up to see Ms Clarke and Merlin leaning over me.

"Oh Arthur I'm so glad your OK." Ms Clarke gave me a big hug and kiss something a mother would do. She felt like a mother-my mother.

"Well done Arthur you did it your King of Avalon."

"I am?"

"Well, you did defeat Mordred-the war has ended. That's only because they realised you're the King of Avalon! The only negative is that you have very little of your life to live. Mordred has left you mortally wounded."

Tears welled up in Ms Clarke's eyes, her bottom lip quivering. I watched one big fat tear roll down her cheek.

"Oh Arthur, I'm so sorry, I love you. You know that. You're like my son-the one that never lived." She had finally let loose, she was shrieking and crying.

"Arthur" she kept yelling. "Oh Arthur, what will we do. Oh Arthur."

Merlin handed her a tissue and she blew her nose.

"Arthur." I recognised the voice instantly.

"Gwen?" "Oh Gwen how are you?"

Gwen face appeared in front of my face. Tears were rolling down her cheeks, she appeared to have the same symptoms that Ms Clarke was experiencing. The quivering lip, the shrieking and crying.

"Arthur" she kept yelling. "Oh Arthur, you know that I only loved you not Lance. I never loved Lance! Forgive me Arthur-I don't know what had possessed me to be with him."

She then kissed me. I wasn't going to push her away, maybe she did love me. Her ruby rose lips came down upon mine. Her tears tasting of salt as they landed onto my face. My body was dancing with pins and needles. Just maybe it was meant to be...

Ms Clarke began shrieking again and Gwen quickly pulled away.

Ms Clarke was pointing at my limbs. I went to peek over at my mortal wounds when I realised they weren't there. The skin on my body had healed and Ms Clarke was holding onto Merlin for dear life.

I sat up on the bed and started to walk toward Ms Clarke. It was funny to see such a serious woman shriek and cry. Her face came down on my shoulder and her quivering ended.

"Merlin, why am I healed aren't I supposed to die?" I questioned him.

"Arthur, if you have seen the new TV series Once Upon A Time-then you'll realise that true loves kiss can break absolutely anything."

"True loves kiss?" Gwen shot Merlin an incredulous look.

"Gwen if I do say so myself that kiss that you gave Arthur was very passionate, that kiss broke the legend Arthur now lives."

I took Gwen in my arms and held her up, cradling her like a baby. I sat her in the passenger seat of the car and sat in the drivers seat. I then drove into the gleaming sunset that caused Gwen to put her glasses on. Her fingers entwined in mine.

I smiled. How did this one kiss possibly cause me to resist death? If anyone said that what Gwen and I have was not true love, then hopefully they'll be reminded of what this one kiss had caused.
