Three nights later Mab finally returned to Morgana's chambers, staring down at the sleeping raven haired woman she stroked her hair as she slept Morgana snapped awake looking up at her, her emerald eyes staring at Mab with fear.

'Queen Mab.' She gasped.

Mab nodded at her words sitting down again.

'No! No your not! Your not real!' Morgana said hysterically but in a whisper so she wouldn't be heard out side. She walked to the window covering her eyes.

'You're not real.' She whimpered then turned round to see Mab standing beside her bed.

'But I am Morgana, you know I am,' she rasped. 'you want to know about who you are don't you? Your family, your magick.'

Morgana was breathing quickly and her eyes widened.

'Your really real then.' She whispered.

'How did you get in my chambers?' she demanded.

Mab smirked.

'All in good time, come with me Morgana, I have much to teach you and great plans for your future.' She extended a beautiful snow white hand with perfect purple nails

Morgana blinked a few times and walked forward a little.

'I don't know you, you could be dangerous. Why should I trust you? In fact why shouldn't I call the guards right now?' she made a run for her sword and grabbed it. She unsheathed it from it's holder pointing the blade at Mab's throat.

Mab chuckled at the sword and it turned to flowers when she narrowed her eyes. This caused Morgana's eyes to widen in shock.

'You just did magick! That's forbidden in Camelot!' Morgana hissed.

'You do magick too Morgana don't you, don't worry I wont tell. I am the Queen of magick, of the old ways. It is your birth right. I am your aunt.' Mab rasped softly.

Morgana calmed down and went into complete shock she fell to her knees with wide eyes dropping the flowers. She looked up at Mab unable to speak at first.

'Your not safe here, you don't feel safe,' Mab bent down. 'your worried Uther will-'

'I'd be safe with you?' Morgana interrupted.

'Yes.' Was Mab's one word hissed reply.

Morgana nodded and pushed her hair back shaking slightly with all this new information.

'And if I go with you, you'd tell me everything of my family and my…' she trailed off.

'Magick is not a bad word Morgana.' Mab said rather irritably.

Morgana barely listened she didn't care about her behaviour right now she had just had the rug pulled from under her feet her life thrown into madness.

'When would I return to Camelot?' Morgana questioned.

'When I decide you have learnt enough.' Mab replied silkily.

Morgana frowned at this but Mab was the only person ever to offer her truth she nodded.

'Okay fine I'll come with you.' She grabbed her red cloak pulling it over her white night dress secretly lifting a dagger too.

Mab rolled her eyes as Morgana walked towards the door.

'We're not going through the door.' She rasped annoyed again.

Morgana frowned and walked towards the window.

'Okay fine. But I don't know how we're going to climb down from here-'

'For goodness sakes girl-' she rasped harshly but then calmed she needed to get the girl on side after all.

'We'll exit the castle through teleportation then ride the rest of the way.' She rasped. 'I haven't teleported with anyone in a while so you'll need to hold on tight.'

Morgana was slightly confused but she had a vague idea of what teleportation meant so she nodded and walked over to Mab hugging her, she was like a diamond hard and cold, Mab looked over her shoulder with an amused look.

'Taking my hand is quite fine.'

Morgana blushed bright red then took her hand.

In three sharp flashes they appeared outside in the darkness they couldn't be seen two horses waited a grey one Mab got on then white one Morgana got on. And then they took off into the night Morgana yawned tiredly.

'Why aren't we teleporting all of the way?' she asked.

Mab sat with a perfectly straight wide awake posture.

'I want you to get the full affect when you enter the land of magick for the first time. Perhaps you'd like to keep your questions for there.'

Morgana was as stubborn as her aunt and kept herself awake.

'If you're my aunt who is my mother?' she questioned.

Mab rolled her eyes at the girls defiance, how like her mother.

'Your mother is Viviene, she is my sister, the lady of the lake.' She replied her lip curled.

Morgana's eye brow raised she had heard stories of a lady who lived in a lake.

'Well why didn't she come get me? Are you taking me to her?' she continued to question.

'I don't know, she and I do not get on, I came for you Morgana because you are my niece and I need your help. Your help and your sister's.' she rasped.

Morgana snapped even more awake with shock.

'I have a sister?' she said in amazement.

'A sister.' Mab repeated them retreated to the darkness.

'You will meet her soon you have much work to do lady Morgana.' She told her as there horses trotted on through the night.

Mab couldn't help but think Morgana reminded her of herself what she looked like when she was that age. Yet Uther and Viviene scarred Morgana's beauty in Mab's eyes.

'Work to do?' Morgana said confused.

'What- but-' she sighed and yawned again Mab frowned. Be it Merlin or Morgana she could not understand there need for sleep.

'I'll explain in the morning.' She said firmly and leapt off her horse when they got to the lake Morgana followed.

Mab was rather amused she hadn't used this entrance in such a long time. Morgana also leapt off and got in the boat sitting down without needing to be told. Shock and tiredness had made her mute. Mab got in behind her she standing up the boat slowly took of along the water to the cave.

'Im warning you sister. Send her back.' Viviene's voice rang in Mab's head though Morgana couldn't hear her.

'Send them both back. Now or you will pay the price.' She growled.

Mab smirked and sat down beside Morgana wrapping an arm around her.

'I don't think so.' Mab rasped, had Morgana not been so shocked at this point she'd have heard Mab and been confused. She allowed Mab to hold her half worried she'd fall out.

'Morgana,' Mab cooed stroking her hair she pushed the hood of her cloak back pressing a kiss to her cheek. 'are you cold my sweet?' she rasped softly.

Morgana flinched slightly Mab's magick sparking against her skin.

'I..I don't know a little maybe.' She shook her head trying to clear it.

'I know you've learnt a lot tonight but it'll be easier in the morning I'll take you to my chambers for some rest then I'll explain things.' She purred.

Morgana nodded weakly in agreement with her suddenly as they entered the dark cavern the water began to bubble with Viviene's anger. Morgana let out a squeal and grabbed Mab in fright.

'Whats going on?' she asked with wide eyes.

Mab smirked peering around the darkness holding Morgana sweetly and securely in her arms. She stroked her hair smugly pleased she was affecting Viviene so.

'It's nothing to be frightened off.' She cooed her sweetly.

Water began to spurt up all around them but they only got a little wet Mab's shield protected them. They eventually reached the land and Mab helped Morgana out she took her arm and lead her up the white marble stairs.

'Mab!' came the scream from the water this time Morgana heard but Mab ushered her inside without allowing her to question.

'The one thing I ask whilst you stay here Morgana is that you do not venture near the lake is that understood?' she said firmly.

Morgana glanced back at the lake one last time then nodded for confirmation.

'Of course.'
