ALYSSA: Iluvkovumiki does not own Merlin, but she does own me and the plot of this story... unfortunately...

Hey!

Chapter 6

Merlin watched the girl go up the stairs and close the door to his room behind her. He then turned toward Arthur to speak, but was cut off.

"Tell me when she awakens and inform me of her condition should anything change, please Gaius."

"Of course sire."

Arthur then strode out the door and Merlin turned to Gaius.

"She is very strange Gaius. There is something very familiar about her but I cant put my finger on it. And when I found her, I could feel some strong magic in the air."

"We will have to keep an eye on her Merlin. Something is off here."

Alyssa was awakened by a rather loud clanging sound. It came form behind the door of the small room and was followed by some curses and grumbling. It sounded like Merlin.

Alyssa opened the door to find Merlin sitting on the floor with plates and cups spread out around him. Alyssa tried to cover her mouth and stifle the laughs. She failed miserably.

"Is that really necessary?"

"I'm sorry," another giggle escaped form between her lips, causing Merlin to scowl at her. "Here, let me help you with those." Alyssa crouched down and helped him pick up the rest of the plates. When only one plate was left on the ground, they made the mistake of reaching for it at the same time.

In the second it took for their hands to brush, gold energy reached out to silver and a spark of the two colors arced between their hands like lightning. Boy and girl froze and their eyes, still strangely colored by the magic in the air, met. Silver looked into gold and gold looked into silver. And then the door opened.

Alyssa sprung up and away from Merlin and he did the same. Gaius walked in, not noticing the awkward in the air. His head was down, looking at a book. So he hadn't seen. He didn't see Alyssa's magical outburst. He stopped walking between the two and looked up.

"Oh, Alyssa. So you're finally awake?"

"Yes sir. How long was I out?"

"A few hours. Dinner will be ready soon. Would you help Merlin set the table please?"

"Sure," Alyssa didn't know what to do. Merlin was staring at her with wide eyes. He had obviously figured out that she had magic as well, and now he was getting over the shock. Alyssa went to put the pile of plates she had picked up on the table and started setting three places for them. Merlin came over to the table and set down the cups and utensils he was holding. He was staring at her again, but this time there was a fear Alyssa hadn't expected.

"You need to tell me who you are and what you are doing here right now."

"Merlin!" Gaius had heard what he had said. Merlin wanted him to hear it too, Alyssa could tell.

"You really think we need to have this conversation here? Now?" She whispered it furiously at him. He simply nodded and looked at Gaius.

"She has magic."

He had said it so plainly and loudly that Alyssa was suddenly very afraid. She was shaking with her fear and she felt her magic being loosed accidentally before she saw the cups start to shake. She hadn't felt like this since she was five and the knights had taken their neighbor for being a sorceress.

"Please, don't tell anyone. I don't want to die." Her voice was full of fear and cracked as she spoke. Merlin suddenly turned to her. His eyes softened and the fear in them was now absent.

"I'm not going to tell anyone unless I need to, okay?"

"Okay." Alyssa reigned in the energy flowing out around her and sat down to calm herself. She knew already that this was going to be a long night. Merlin's eyes had a million questions and Gaius was looking at her with the same in his own. She just had to make sure that she left her brother out of this. After all, if she aligned herself with King Arthur's supposed killer now, Merlin would never allow her to stay in Camelot.

ALYSSA: that was terrifying. Why do such terrible things happen to my life?

Well, its my story so... I will them to occur! MWAHAHAHAHA! Wait till you see what happens next time!

ALYSSA: If i turned you into a frog would you still be able to mess up my life?
