The Light From Darkness

Previously..

"I said go away!" Morgana shouted, she didn't hear Gwen reply then and realised that she had gone. She sighed and then carried on with what she was doing. Packing.

Meanwhile..

A dark figure was riding through the woods wearing a dark, blue cape.

Merlin.

The flashbacks hit him like bolts, him saving Arthur's life countless times. He growled at the thought, he was angry at Arthur's reaction. Arthur hated him for who he truely was which had shown he was no true friend. Then again, Merlin had been lieing to him for years and since the day he first met him. Did that make him any better than Arthur?

At Midnight..

Morgana has finally finished packing her bags when Gwen suddenly comes in,

"Have you forgotten how to knock!" Morgana shouted, hiding the bags behind her.

"I'm sorry. I've just came to see if your alright." Gwen seemed quite hurt by Morgana's harsh words today and her anger. Gwen realised that ever since she told the news of Merlin she had been acting very strangely.

"I apologize Gwen for my anger. I'm still shocked about Merlin and worried about Arthur's condition." She lied.

"Yes..I am too." Gwen looked down, thinking of Merlin.

"Do you still care for him Gwen? Even though he is a sorcerer?" Morgana suddenly asked, wanting an answer.

"I'm not sure Morgana, he has lied to us all these years which shows that he thought we weren't trustworthy. I'll never be able to forgive him for what he has done to Arthur." Gwen spoke, her voice shakey.

"But that's just it isn't it? Merlin was never like this before yet he suddenly attacks Arthur? They've got along so well until now. Arthur must of done something to make him do such a thing." Morgana replied as she stared at Gwen.

Gwen couldn't bear to look at her, she knew that Morgana had magic because she caught her doing it but refused to ever speak of it not knowing how Morgana's reaction would be.

"Gwen? Are you alright?" Morgana asked, wondering why she had gone suddenly quiet.

"It's just, Merlin had such a good heart. Well, at least I thought he-" Gwen was cut off by Morgana's low, cold voice.

"Merlin does have a good heart! He is not evil just because he has magic! He is no monster Gwen!" Morgana shouted.

"Morgana he attacked Arth-" Gwen was yet cut off again,

"Do not interupt me Gwen! Merlin has a good heart!" Morgana concluded.

"He attacked Arthur, Morgana! He is at death's door!" Gwen shouted back.

"He is pure evil, he is heartless and always will be! He betrayed us all and has killed one of his friends. What makes you think he won't kill us too?" Gwen pressed on.

A slap was then heard. Gwen's head was tilted to the side and facing downwards, the burning sensation struck her face.

Morgana had slapped her.

"You may have the day off. It will give you some time to think about what you have done." Morgana's voice harsh and cold. As soon as Morgana left she smirked. The plan was working perfectly but she was completly oblivious to the fact that Gaius and Gwen know of her magic.

As she looked out the window she whispered to herself,

'Merlin, wait for me. I am coming..'

'Are you now?' A voice was heard in her mind.

Morgana was shocked.

'Merlin..? '

'The one and only. Your coming for me?'

'Yes, Merlin. No one knows and 'm planning to keep it that way.'

'Why do you want to come? Have you heard?'

'Yes, Merlin. I don't hate you at all. I think Gwen does though, after what you had done to- '

'Dont..mention his name..' His voice grew cold.

'Sorry. Where are you?'

'How do I know if I can trust you?'

'Please Merlin, you can trust me I assure you that. We're the same and I'd never betray you. Just tell me.'

'The Darkling Woods.'

'I shall meet you there?'

'Yes.'

Morgana then grabbed her bags and put her red cape on, disguisting herself. She didn't care, she just walked through the hallways.

"Oi! You there! Stop where you are!" One of the guards called out.

She then shown her face as she lifted her head up, "Lady Morgana?"

"Sweet dreams." She smirked as she grabbed his spear and stabbed it into him, he then collapsed onto the floor and yelped from the pain. Blood everywhere stained on the floor and walls.

Morgana then carried on, leaving him for dead and not having a care in the world. She killed ten other knights and four guards who were on duty. Finally, she had managed to get out of Camelot's gates without anyone knowing it was her, except for the people she had killed.

Morgana took one more last glance at Camelot before walking away into the distance. She was ready to leave all this behind but had a feeling she may be coming back one day.

Morgana saw a white horse, almost as if it were waiting for her. She then got up on it and rided through the misty night into the woods. In the distance she saw she was approaching a dark figure standing with a beautiful, dark and brown horse beside him.

Merlin.

Morgana could recognise him anywhere by his eyes, they were noticable from even a far distance. As she was fastly approaching him she remembered at the fact she had slapped Gwen, guilt washed over her but she quickly shook it off and continued riding towards Merlin, smiling.

"Morgana." He whispered as he held out his hand to help her off her horse. She smiled at him and took his hand gladly.

"Merlin, they're looking for you. Uther is already sending search parties out. He won't stop until your hunted down and dead." Morgana whispered.

"How does Uther know? Who told him?" Merlin became angry, someone had betrayed him.

"Merlin, Gaius told Uther.." She replied quietly, knowing that he would not take it well.

"GAIUS? OF ALL PEOPLE GAIUS? HOW COULD HE? ALL THIS TIME!"Merlin became angry and grabbed a tree and pushed it, completly knocking it down. He raised his hand facing the sky and began to make it thunder and lightening. He was hoping that the electrical lightening would hit Camelot's walls.

Morgana was just as angry as he was.

"We must have revenge on all of Camelot, Merlin. Make them suffer." Morgana smirked as she looked at him.

"Morgana, your full of good ideas aren't you? I always knew you were an intelligent lady." Merlin smirked at her, almost seductively.

"Morgana, stay with me. For one whole day at the Isle Of The Blessed. No one will dare to go there, it is a place of the Old Religion. Uther will think that you have been kidnapped, he will send every single one of his best men out to look for you which means that on the second day you will go into the Darkling Woods where they may be and tell me that you were kidnapped and beaten. Meanwhile you are doing that I shall sneak into Camelot." Merlin smirked at the idea, him killing all the guards and Camelot's guard is down.

"What about Arthur?" Morgana asked.

"Leave him to me." Merlin replied coldly, the sound of his name made his flinch.

To Be Continued..

I've left this as a cliffy. What do you think will happen next?
