AU: SORRY ITS BEEN AGES BUT I HAVE HAD WRITERS BLOCK... A SIRIUS CASE OF WRITERS BLOCK TELL ME IF I SHOULD CARRY ON OR NOT! THANK YOU FOR PUTTING UP WITH ME YOU ARE AWESOMENESS!
"So my dear Gwen is it true you like Arthur?" Asked Morgana completely ignoring me as I straightened her bed covers feeling humiliation in my face.
"No I like... Someone else my Lady," Gwen whispered watching my emotionless face.
"Is it you then...?"
"Gwendolyn but most people call me Gwen," I said.
"Do you like Arthur?" She asked voice thick with venom.
"No he's just my friend."
"Oh come on I see the way he looks at you!" She laughed.
"Sure you have my Lady," I answered with a smirk.
"Last month at my birthday banquet."
"Oh I thought you was too busy planning on who to use your dagger on," I snapped turning round to face her shocked face, her eyes were as cold as ice and tried to bore into my soul but I pushed her out and smirked at her, she shook her head slightly and tried to smile sweetly but the same anger was behind her eyes. "I'm done for now goodbye my Lady," I whispered with a fake bow before walking out of the room and going to Gaius and Merlin.
"Her tongue was purple!" I yelled astonished.
"Seems like Grunhilda is a pixie and servant to the Sidhe from Avalon," explained Gaius. "That would explain everything."
"What do you mean?"
"Pixie's have a very distinguished man in their minds and..."
"She likes you?" Merlin asked, Gaius nodded.
"What?" I exclaimed.
"That is disgusting! Imagine if she kissed you!" Merlin whispered disgust thick in his voice.
"MERLIN!" Gaius yelled. "There is only one way to rid her of the sidhe inside her but we need this flower," he said pointing at a flower in a book.
"I'll go get it and you Gwen stay and watch Grunhilda and Elena." Merlin said running out of the door.
"I FOUND IT! RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A SWAMP RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE!" Yelled Merlin running into Gaius' chambers a few days later covered in mud.
"Good but Arthur's proposing to Elena right now," whispered Gaius looking worryingly in my direction.
"Look Gaius I'll be fine," I smiled standing up and walking down towards the chambers.
"Elena."
I forced myself to look up at Arthur kneeling down in front of Elena, my heart cracked and I looked down again swallowing the tears that threatened to flow down my cheeks.
"Will you do me the honour of becoming my wife and uniting our two houses?" I looked up again feeling a wave of comfort from Merlin and watched.
"Yes." Arthur stood up and kissed her hand before turning towards the chanting people around us, Arthur looked down at me with tears in his eyes. I smiled sadly up at him and walked away clutching Merlin for support.
"It's ok Gwen we are going to fix this."
"Merlin what if we don't? I realise now that I love him... More then I've ever loved anyone," I whimpered wiping the tears from my eyes.
"We are going to fix this! We always do! Gaius is making the potion and Arthur loves you too," said Merlin as we made our way up to Gaius' chamber, "stay here tonight we're going to need you."
I woke to a bang as I fell on the floor, I sat up and gasped as a bolt of lightning almost hit me, Merlin grabbed me and pulled me towards the door holding a wooden staff with a blue crystal on top. I fell backwards and we tumbled down the stairs, another flash of lightning hit the floor before Merlin hit the cabinet causing it to fall and the bottles to smash , finally hitting he hit the Sidhe lord destroying him.
"Tell me that's not the only bottle of antidote?" Moaned Merlin when he spotted the smashed bottle of antidote.
"I can make another don't worry!"
"Thank god!"
"But we need a plan because Grunhilda won't just let Elena drink the potion?"Said Gaius.
"Well..." Merlin said looking up at Gaius, "I have an idea but we need you."
"I'm not going to like this am I?"
"Nope!"
"Hello Grunhilda."
"Ello handsome," she smiled.
"I wanted to see if you could meet me in the vaults under Camelot?"
"Oh the vaults? Not very romantic!" Grunhilda said with a grunt.
Ah but we won't be disturbed," smirked Gaius to a very quick nod.
"I'll meet you in a few minutes," she said with a wink before closing the door."
I let out a barking laugh at the same time as a Merlin, "you owe me for that!"
"I'm so... So sorry but that was brilliant!" I cried wiping tears from my eyes as we made our way to the vaults.
"Look Merlin, Gwen if it looks like she's overpowering me..."
"We will just stand and watch," I said with a smile.
"You will help me!"
"Of course," Merlin said before pulling me into the corner as Grunhilda arrived.
"Ello pretty boy."
"Hello," muttered Gaius as we rounded the corner to the outside of the door.
"So... We're alone? What shall we do now?" She whispered closing her eyes and preparing to kiss him but he ran out of the way and closed the door behind him leaving us to lock the door with magic.
Grunhilda ran at the door and licked Gaius' face with her giant purple tongue causing me to stifle a laugh, "we could of had it all Gaius!"
"I'm sure we could," Gaius yelled as we ran away back to Elena's chambers. "You know what you've got to do kids?"
"Kill the Sidhe when it comes out got it!" I yelled as we got to the door.
"YOU COME BACK HERE!" Came a voice from behind us, we turned and saw Grunhilda sprinting at us, Merlin threw out his staff and a strip of blue lightning hit her hard.
"You two go I'll occupy her," he muttered pushing us through the door into Elena's room.
"Grunhilda?" Came the girly voice behind the screen, she popped out and looked at us oddly, "you're not Grunhilda?"
"Really I never knew," I grumbled earning a shove from Gaius.
"We've come with a draft to calm your nerves drink it all in one go for the full effect," he explained uncorking the bottle and handing it to her.
She took a sip and then said, "You know what? I'm really nervous I didn't think I would be."
"You really should drink the whole thing," Gaius encouraged as a scream and crash came from the hallway.
"What was that?" She asked.
"Preparations for the wedding," I giggled getting a glare from Gaius.
"I know I'm doing this for father but I don't like it," she said after another sip just as Merlin came in.
"What's going on?" He hissed.
"I'm trying!" Gaius whispered.
"Oh for heaven's sake! Elena I'm sorry but this is going to make you feel a whole lot better!" I yelled walking over, grabbing her nose and pouring the liquid down her throat. She fell backwards and shook violently before a small blue light came out of her mouth, as soon as he could Merlin shot out and blew the Sidhe into blue sparks.
"What happened?" Elena said dreamily.
"You passed out with all the excitement," Gaius said quickly smiling.
"But I feel amazing!" She yelled sitting down in the chair in front of her mirror.
"I'll stay and help her get ready you two should go," I whispered shooing them away before grabbing a brush and running it through her hair.
A little while later she spoke, "why do you look so sad?"
"Why would I be sad? Today is a celebration," I said trying to smile but failing dismally.
"I saw the way he looked at you when he proposed Gwen was it?" I nodded, " do you love him?"
"With all my heart but alas it could never be," I sighed tying her hair up.
"Love will triumph Gwen somehow because I know he feels the same way women have a thing with this stuff," she giggled at my confused expression.
"Thank you Elena you make a beautiful bride," I whispered smiling genuinely for the first time.
She nodded before saying, "You can go now my father will be here soon." I nodded and walked slowly to the hall.
When I walked in I let out a gasp at the beauty of the hall I had never seen before, flowers creating the aisle, two thrones set beside each other and a red carpet running through the centre of the flowers, I smiled and then walked over to Merlin who squeezed my arm in encouragement.
"It'll be fine."
"I know he'll be a good king," I smiled watching him look nervously at the crowd beneath him, he caught my eye but I stared down at the floor just as Elena walked in, she looked regal in a long pink dress flowing down behind her and her hair lay in ringlets down her back. I bowed low and then watched as my heart broke.
"Arthur Pendragon do you take Princess Elena to be your wife?"
He hesitated looking out at me again, tears filled my eyes and I gulped down the lump in the back of my throat, "I do."
"And do you Princess Elena take Prince Arthur to be your husband?"
"I do." Elena said emotionless.
"Then I pronounce you..."
"Wait!" Arthur yelled causing the room to fall into agonizing silence.
"Yes sire?"
"Elena you are an amazing woman and a beautiful bride but..." He said.
"You do not love me?" She asked smiling calmly back at him as he shook his head.
"And if you were honest you don't love me either?"
"No but I know who does," she said whispering the last part before turning to look at me, I flushed and saw Arthur flush slightly too.
"Then we are both here out of duty please forgive me," he shouted to the room.
"I agree with everything you just said," she whispered winking at me as a smile appeared on my face before they both parted and walked off to their rooms.
I giggled, a huge smile on my face, "I wouldn't want to be Arthur right now."
"Me neither," I said to Merlin telepathically.
"He likes you!"
"Merlin," he looked at me, "shut up!"
"OK!"
"Goodbye my lady," said Arthur kissing Elena's hand.
"Goodbye my lord if you ever need someone to beat you in horse riding you know where I am," she said with a wink before turning towards me and whispering, "he loves you Gwen I told you love would prevail."
"Thank you my Lady," I whispered before she pulled me into a hug, I gasped and hugged her back laughing quietly before she pulled back and jumped into the carriage.
I smiled at the retreating carriage before turning around and walking towards Gaius' chambers.
"So I'm a single man now," Came Arthur's voice from behind me.
"Guess you are, I don't think you deserved her actually she was very lovely."
"Well I was hoping to win someone equally as lovely," he explained with a cheeky smile on his boyish features.
"Hmmmm... I don't know anyone sorry," I said with a shrug.
"Neither do I but I guess time will tell," he laughed causing me to laugh too.
"Maybe but until then goodbye Arthur," I said walking past him with a smile as our hands brushed and our eyes met.
"Gwen..."
"SHUT UP MERLIN!"
