Merlin is owned by the BBC, not me.
A few people have wanted me to continue this story, so I am. This is the second chapter, based on the Witch Finder. I've picked the scene with the search of the chambers at the end. I thought that scene could have been better. Hope you like this!
A search in the Witch Finder's chambers was taking place. Merlin stood near the door way, a smile across his face. He knew what he was looking for. Uther, Morgana and Arthur were stood there. Arthur was leading the search. The Witch Finder stood there, arms folded across his chest.
"You're wasting your time!" The Witch Finder commented.
Arthur took no notice of his words. He pointed in a different direction, his head turning to one of the searchers. "Cupboard over there!" Arthur demanded.
The Guard obeyed, walking over to the small cupboard. Merlin held his breath, hoping that the moment of truth would be revealed. The Guard opened the cupboard, and thousands of amulets fell out. The shelf collapsed. The amulets clattered on the floor, scattering everywhere.
The Witch Finder widened his eyes, completely taken by surprise. He walked forward, looking back at Uther.
"These things don't belong to me!" The Witch Finder insisted. But this was a lie. He kicked over some of the amulets, walking slowly. "This is a trick!" He continued. He coughed slightly. Arthur slowly began to draw out his sword. The Witch Finder pointed at Merlin, hand touching the table as he stumbled slightly. "That boy, plots against me-" He added on.
Uther turned to face Merlin, who said nothing.
The Witch Finder began to cough, like he was choking on something. Everyone looks at him, wondering what was happening to him. Merlin tries not to laugh, for he knew what was coming next. The Witch Finder opened his mouth, and a toad came out. It landed on the floor, and then went away. The Witch Finder choked, disgusted by this.
Uther looked at the Witch Finder, his brows now creasing together.
"A sorcerer!" Uther shouted. He drew out his sword.
The Witch Finder grabbed a dagger from the table, and then pulled Morgana near him. Uther stepped forward, angry.
"Aredian, think carefully about what you're doing." Uther simply commented. Aredian chose to ignore Uther's words; he stepped back, taking Morgana with him. His dagger was pointing towards the King. The Guards walk forward, along with Uther. "You will never escape Camelot alive." Uther added on.
Aredian placed his arm around Morgana's throat, the dagger close to her.
"I will if you value the life of you Ward, hmm." Aredian told him.
Morgana is very scared by this; she is unable to break away. Arthur comes forward now. Aredian takes himself and Morgana further away, but the Guards, Prince and King continue to come forward.
Merlin sees this, and can't stand to see Morgana terrified. He quietly speaks in Old English, his eyes turning to an amber colour.
The dagger in Aredian's hand glows a dangerous orange, and he screams out in pain. His hand begins to shake, moving it away from Morgana. She runs away from him, keeping out of the way. Aredian steps back, clutching his hand. He walks back into a block, and he falls, breaking the window. Aredian screams, eventually hitting the ground outside.
Arthur and Uther look out of the window, shocked by what just happened. Merlin breathed out in relief, glad that this was all over. Uther turned around, and he frowned.
"Who did that?" He hissed. Silence fell around the room. "That didn't just happen naturally, someone used magic." Uther commented. Again, no one admitted it. Merlin was tempted to confess, but he decided not to. "As soon as I find out who did that, they will be punished." Uther said. He walked out.
Arthur stood there, hands on his hips. "Father, whoever it was, they just saved Morgana!" Arthur pointed out. But Uther did not respond, he just kept on walking out. Arthur soon followed him out, along with the rest of the Guards. It was just Merlin and Morgana in there now.
"Merlin, was that you?" Morgana asked. She turned to face him; her skin was shocking white, her green eyes wide.
"Yes, please don't hand me over." Merlin answered. He walked back slightly, hitting the closed door.
Morgana walked forward, standing so close to him. She shook her head, swallowing nervously. "I would never do that to you, Merlin." Morgana insisted. She touched his arms. "I told you, I'd never say anything to anyone about your gifts." Morgana reminded him.
Merlin had smiled at her, now remembering her words. "How stupid of me, of course you said that." Merlin finally said.
Morgana had smiled at him. "Thank you, Merlin." Morgana said. She kissed his lips just the once, and then looked up at him. "You saved my life, and I shall reward you personally." Morgana promised him.
Merlin had raised an eyebrow at her. "Please, you don't have-" Merlin began to speak.
"No, I will. You deserve something." Morgana insisted. She pulled Merlin closer to her body, and began to kiss him once more. Her hand snaked around the back of his neck, her fingers running through the back of his hair.
Merlin was prepared this time; he returned the kiss back to her. His arm went around her waist, keeping her close to his body. This kiss reminded him of the first night they had kissed. This bond was getting stronger. Merlin had soon pulled his lips away, looking straight at her.
"We need to be careful." Merlin reminded her.
"You know we will be, I don't want anything to happen to you. I wouldn't live with myself if something happened to you." Morgana responded.
Merlin had smiled at her, his hand touching the side of her neck so gently. "I love you." Merlin admitted.
Morgana blushed a rose colour, a giggle escaping from her lips. "And I love you to." Morgana said back.
Merlin had leant in once more, kissing her once more.
So what do you think? Should I add another chapter to this story?
