The next morning Merlin came to see me again.
"Jessica I don't know if you will accept after this or hate me but I love you"
I was left speechless after hearing those three words if felt good. Why did it feel good? I was in love. It's all it could be. I took a moment before I said
"I love you too,"
He kissed me on the forehead and took me in his arms it was the most amazing feeling in the whole, then he lifted me up from the ground and spun me around, as he placed me back on the ground and pressed his lips against mine, it felt like there were church bells ringing all around me. As he pulled back he whispered in my ear "I love you"
"Wow this happened so fast isn't it amazing?"I asked.
"Yes it is but we will never be able to be together you're getting married to Arthur in two days." He reminded me
"Oh Merlin, please don't say that," I begged him, "I can't marry Arthur, I won't marry Arthur!"
As I was speaking I felt tears rolling down my face.
"Hey Jess please don't cry." He said wiping my tears. "There has got to be some way... some way... that's it!"
"What?" I asked.
"Listen we can elope together."
"What?"
"Listen meet me at the forest at the end of Camelot tomorrow bring your things. I'll be waiting there with a horse." He said.
"Where are we going to go?"
"We can go to Ealdor."
"Ealdor? Where is Ealdor?"
"My village, where I lived before I came to Camelot. It will take a few days to get there."
"I will meet you outside the forest tomorrow at noon."
He kissed me on the forehead and said to me "I must go, I love you."
He left with an adorable smile on his face.
