REVIEW!


Now is the time of our comfort and plenty

These are the days we've been working for

Nothing can touch us and nothing can harm us

No, nothing goes wrong anymore

It won't come again, because love is the end

Oh no my friend, love is the end

Merlin was looking into the fire moodily. Thoughts of Morgana flickered through his head. What if she hated Merlin for threatening to kill her? What if she tried to kill him? Would he use his magic and expose it? Did she already know he had magic? And if she did, would she hate him?

Merlin was starting to doubt that this 'adventure' was a good idea. Most likely, when he, or more likely, if he saw Morgana, she would probably try to kill him. But Merlin just couldn't give up; when they had been alone, he had felt something between them. Morgana certainly had kissed him back that day in Fyrien.

Merlin was shaken roughly from his daydream by the sound of hooves. He quickly put dirt over the fire and hunched down. He was deep in the woods, near no path. Who could this rider be? A dark horse came into view, its rider wrapped in a dark cloak. Merlin crawled forward, pulling out a belt knife, ready to protect himself.

Suddenly the hood of the riders cloak was blown back, and Morgana's pale, ivory skinned face was showing. Merlin gasped audibly and fell backwards off his hunches. Morgana looked to his direction in surprise. She apparently didn't know who it was, for she called out, "Who's there?"

Merlin scrambled to his feet and tried to hide, but he was too late. "Merlin?" She said in shock. Merlin turned around slowly to face her. Her eyes were wide and mouth agape.

"Morgana," he said testily. Suddenly Morgana's face twisted into hate.

"You have magic!" She jumped off her horse and was storming towards him. Merlin backed away in fear.

"Morgana, you have to understand why I didn't tell you . . ." Morgana didn't pay attention. Once she was in arm's length of him, she slapped him hard.

"How dare you lie to me!" She said angrily. "After I trusted you with my secret?"

Merlin put a hand to his cheekbone in shock. "I couldn't tell you because I didn't trust you! If I had've, you probably would have turned me into Uther to spite me!"

Morgana looked hurt. "I trusted you Merlin!"

"And I've kept your secret. If it was reversed, you wouldn't have done the same." Merlin said coldly. This wasn't how he thought their reunion would be at all.

"How do you know?" Morgana said bitterly.

"Because look what you've become! You've turned on Camelot and joined Morgause!" Merlin said exasperatedly.

Morgana shook her head. "I left Morgause." She hesitated, looking at Merlin from the corner of her eye. "I was going back to Camelot to see if I could be forgiven."

Merlin looked at her in surprise. He could've sworn there was double meaning behind her words. "After what you did to Arthur and Gwen?" He instantly regretted saying it.

"There is no excuse for that. Morgause filled me with bitterness and hate, adding to my own. She filled me with lies and promises of power . . . She gave me hope." Morgana turned from him. "If you don't want me here, I'll leave."

Merlin reached out to her instinctively. "No; please don't go." His hand tightened around hers.

Morgana looked at their linked hands. "Y-you don't hate me?"

"No," Merlin said softly. "I'm giving you a chance."

Her eyes were wide. "I . . . I don't know what to say, Merlin."

"Then don't say anything." Merlin leaned down and kissed her before he lost his nerve. Morgana remained still for a moment, and wrapped her free arm around his neck, pulling him closer to her.

After a while, she pulled back and smirked up at him. "We didn't finish what we started in the pool."

Merlin felt nervous. "N-no, we didn't . . ." Morgana looked at him with worry.

"Do you not want to?" She asked.

"No, I do, it's just I've never been with a woman . . ." Merlin hung his head as he felt a blush stain his cheeks.

Morgana lifted his head up so they were staring into each other's eyes. "Well, I guess it's your lucky day, because I've never been with a man." She then pulled his face to hers in a passionate kiss.

Merlin stood still before wrapping his arms around her slim waist. His hands tangled themselves in her long hair. Morgana broke the kiss only to place small kisses along Merlin's jaw. Merlin pulled her back so he could do the same to her.

"Merlin," Morgana gasped as he kissed a particular sensitive spot on her neck. "Do that again." Merlin complied and kissed the spot again in a slow, hot kiss. Morgana moaned and arched into him. Merlin let out a shaky laugh.

"You like that, don't you?" Merlin asked. His lips ghosted over her skin, and Morgana shivered. She pulled his head back down as answer.

Merlin smiled against her neck. His hands rubbed up and down her sides. Suddenly his thoughts turn to Freya. Poor, innocent Freya. "I can't do this." Merlin said, and backed away from her.

Morgana looked up, her face red. "Why not? I thought you wanted it."

"I did, I . . . do. It's just, it's too soon." At Morgana's disappointed face, he added. "I'm sorry."

"No, no . . . I understand." Morgana smoothed her shirt. "I'll wait for you, Merlin."

Merlin smiled at her. "Thank-you for understanding."
