Alyssa: Iluvkovumiki does not own Merlin, but this is her story.

Thank you!

Alyssa pulled herself up from the hard wood of the short stool and grabbed the bottles of potions from Gaius. It had been a week since she had told them her story, keeping her brother's name form it all and making up quite a bit. Her story now was that she was born and raised in a kingdom that was far away, but had always wanted to try to live in the Camelot of magic that she had heard of from the Druids stories. So she trekked the miles that needed to be trekked to get here and got lost along the way. Not exactly a lie, but also not exactly the whole truth either.

She didn't care, so long as she was able to stay in the castle. She had tried to find her brother multiple times, but every time she had the chance to look for him he wasn't in the castle. Apparently, he had acquired a home at the outskirts of Camelot. It was near the surrounding wall and Alyssa would have gone their long ago, but it was too far from the market for her to be there without a good reason. Now, she finally had one.

In the castle, she was Gaius's helper. She took his potions to those who needed them and she had been waiting days for Mordred to need one. She had been prepared to wait longer, but she figured that his nightmares would eventually come back, living in a place where the knights that had chased him as a child protected. He had told Gaius yesterday that he was having trouble sleeping, and Gaius had just finished the potion that helped people sleep. She had just gotten lucky enough to be the one in the room when Gaius had bottled it.

Alyssa rounded the corner of another stall and had to pull her dress out of the way when a couple of kids ran past her. She had opted to trade her jeans and hot topic graphic tee for the long black dress that Queen Guinevere had been kind enough to give to her. The Queen had been very concerned for Alyssa when she had heard her story, and had thought Alyssa might need a comfortable dress. It had been very kind of her. Guinevere was all the kind and loving queen that Alyssa had read about.

Alyssa wound her way out of the market and could now see the gates of the walls. And there, to the right of the gates, she could see a small house that was owned by the one person that shared her story. She swiftly walked all the way up to the door and knocked. Her nerves were fraying and she was getting very worried that she hadn't heard anything from inside. She knocked again. Nothing. Not a sound came from inside.

Alyssa felt her heart stutter. He wasn't here. Her brother wasn't here. What was she going to do? She felt a tear fall from her eye and looked up at the home one last time. She was about to turn around when somebody spoke.

"Hello? Are you the one Gaius sent with my potion?"

Alyssa froze up. That voice was achingly familiar. Her heart picked up speed and her nerves caused her hands to shake. She couldn't even turn around. She couldn't even say anything. She heard the footsteps and the rattle of chainmail as he walked up to her.

"Excuse me? Miss? Are you alright?" He gripped her arm and she let him turn her around to face him. Ice blue met ice blue and Alyssa felt tears well up in her eyes again, only this time they were tears of joy.

Mordred's mouth opened and then closed as he took in the emotional state of the woman in front of him. Tears were streaming down her face, but there was a smile on her face as well. She looked as if she was just made the happiest person in the world, simply because he had shown up here. She looked at him as if she knew him. Did he know her?

"Umm. Are you all right? Come on inside and I'll get you some water."

Alyssa felt her smile disappear and her heart cracked in two. He didn't remember her! How could he not remember her?!

She let him lead her into the small home he had and he set her in a chair. She pulled the bottle of sleeping draught out of her small bag and set it on the table beside her. She looked at the reason she had risked travelling back in time. He was about the same height as her. His hair was still as curly and dark as ever. His eyes were still their normal shade of icy blue. What had happened that he would forget her? Was she just too different to look like his sister?

"Mordred, how could you?" Her words froze him. It was the first thing she had said to him and it was accusatory and cruel. He slowly turned toward her. His brow was furrowed and his eyes were clouded with confusion.

"What are you talking about? Do I even know you?"

"Yes, you did once. We were very close. How could you possibly forget?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't know what you're talking about."

"I can see that," Alyssa stood and walked to the door. She stood there and turned around in the open doorway. She looked him in the eyes and said, "You promised you wouldn't forget me. I can't believe you broke your promise. I'm supposed to be the one that breaks her promises. And I kept mine. What happened to you?" Her voice broke on the last word and she ran out the door and through the gate. She headed out of Camelot, straight for the woods that would hide her from the eyes of the world. She needed some release. She needed a break. She needed to fly again.
