I do not own Merlin or it's characters. I'm a mere fan of the show.
Excuse the long delay, my life went downhill and I was thinking up of some ideas for this story. I know I'm close to finishing, I'm just going to take it easy for now. This is mainly about promising, a promise to not abandon... And a promise of revenge. Let me introduce you to a new character... Her name is Hailey, and she is Morgauses' new companion. She's evil, yes, and she does possess a kind of magic.
Morgause stared into the Crystal, seeing the image of Morgana, Merlin and Cathal. She smirked at this image. "You will pay for this, sister. I promise you that." Morgause said out loud.
"But what can I do?" A young girl asked her.
Morgause looked at her new companion, grinning now. "We need to get rid of that serving boy and child." Morgause explained. She walked forward, standing mere inches away from the young girl. "Come now, Hailey, you need to separate them all from each other using the gifts that I have taught you." Morgause answered.
Hailey had looked at Morgause, nodding her head. "Then it shall be done." Hailey promised. She gave out a wicked smile. "I will not fail you." Hailey added on.
"I know, Hailey." Morgause spoke. She walked off back to the crystal, observing what was going on now.
Merlin and Morgana looked around the forest, breathing out.
"Uther hasn't dropped it, you said he had!" Merlin pointed out.
"He changed his mind; he's lied to us all." Morgana spoke. She held Cathal close to her chest, breathing gently. "I don't understand, what has he got against you?" Morgana asked.
"Magic is a possibility and that I'm in love with you…" Merlin guessed.
"Uther is blinded by his own faults; he doesn't understand how I feel towards you. He'll do anything to make me split from you!" Morgana spat.
Merlin closed his eyes for the moment. "We have given him a grandson, this isn't fair." Merlin said. Merlin had honestly believed that Uther would be happy with a grandchild, but no - He was wrong about that.
Morgana walked close to Merlin, her head resting against his shoulder. "We can't go back, we just can't." Morgana whimpered. She was close to tears once more, she didn't want to cry again. All she kept on crying about was Merlin, and no one could blame her really.
Merlin had placed an arm around her, trying his best to comfort her. "We'll find a way, I swear we will." Merlin vowed. Somehow, he'd figure a way out of this mess. He kissed her forehead, and he kissed Cathal's forehead. "Even if it kills me." Merlin mumbled.
"Don't say that, please." Morgana begged. She didn't want to lose him, not now, not ever. "I'm not going to let you disappear, you can't leave me and Cathal alone." Morgana said. She stayed close to his chest, breathing out. "I don't want you to go, I can't let you go again. You can't make me this time." Morgana added on.
Sighing, Merlin kept his family close. "Morgana, I love you so much. And I know that if I don't do this now, I'll hate myself." Merlin spoke. He looked at her, and he got down on one knee, looking directly up at her. "I only desire that one answer from your sweet lips, and I hope I'm correct." Merlin said. He held up a ring, with a single diamond there. "Morgana Le Fay, would you do the honour of being my wife?" Merlin asked. He was hoping to hear that one word, he would understand if she refused, but he hoped she wouldn't turn this offer down.
Morgana wasn't quite ready for this, and he seemed so serious. Looking down at him, Morgana found it hard to speak her answer. Holding on to Cathal, Morgana took in a deep breath. "I'll do the honours, Merlin. We have a child together, so I accept your proposal." Morgana answered. She gave out a wide smile.
Merlin reached out his hand, taking hers as he slipped the ring on to her finger. Merlin kissed the back of her hand, letting out a relieved breath. Standing up, Merlin brought her close to him. "I love you, my darling fiancée." Merlin whispered softly. The two now kissed full on,not wanting this moment to end.
Morgause had seen this in the crystals, and she smirked. "Now I have a reason to hurt you, sister." Morgause hissed.
"Is she engaged?" Hailey asked.
"Indeed she is, Hailey." Morgause answered. She pulled herself back from the crystals, walking up to Hailey. "Now is the time for your side of the plan, so get going." Morgause informed her.
Hailey nodded her head, walking away from Morgause. An evil look shone in her eyes, knowing what she was going to do to Merlin, Morgana and Cathal.
"Morgana, you must promise to not leave me alone. We have to stick together… You, me and Cathal. He's our son, and he cannot protect himself." Merlin requested.
Morgana nodded her head, closing her eyes as she bit her lower lip. "I promise to not abandon you both; you mean the world to me." Morgana swore.
Merlin touched her face with one of his hands, exhaling her scent as he rested his forehead against hers. "Alright, we better find some shelter." Merlin finally spoke.
Morgana opened her eyes, looking into Merlin's cool eyes now. "Yes, we should." Morgana agreed.
Together, they all started to walk through the forest. Merlin held on to Morgana's hand, while Morgana kept Cathal in her free arm. Merlin wasn't willing to lose his family; he would do anything to protect them. It would only come down to one choice, to use his magic. Merlin had to think this through so carefully, because Uther already hated him.
Morgana followed Merlin's lead, keeping a hold of his hand, and keeping Cathal close to her. She was glad that she accepted to become his wife, and she was grateful to be blessed with a son. But the thought of Uther's words kept echoing in her head. She couldn't let Merlin go; she had almost lost him enough times. This time, she wasn't going to let him out of her sight. Morgana would do anything to keep her boys safe, even if that meant putting herself in great danger. She wasn't happy about her sister, and Morgana knew that she'd have to lose someone, but who would she lose? Hopefully, she wasn't going to lose Merlin or Cathal.
So what does Hailey have planned up her sleeve? She will be involved for the next couple of chapters.
Who will Morgana end up losing?
Will Morgause finally get what she wants?
And will Uther except that his Ward his now engaged to Merlin?
All will be revealed bit by bit(:
