Hey guys :D thanks u guys for all the follows and favourites, they motivate me to write more! :D I hope this does not confuse anyone but I decided to change when this fic is set to in between series 1 and 2. I think it would make more sense that way :D soo here's the next chapter everyone!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN MERLIN, IF I DID I WOULD BE TAKING ISABELLA'S PLACE XD

Chapter 4:

Giaus POV:

I swiftly make my way towards the Lady Morgana's chamber, her sleeping draught in my hand. Usually Merlin would take it for me while I prepared supper but for obvious reasons Merlin would not be able to. I round a corner and soon came to the wooden doors of her chambers, my knuckles knock on the heavy door, echoing down the empty hall. The door open's slowly to show the Lady Morgana's alluring face.
"oh.. Giaus. What can I do for you?" she question's
"I'm here to give you, your sleeping draught, My Lady" I reply.
"Is it not a little early?" she inquires
"I need to collect some herbs before sun down, and to care for my patients."
"indeed... thank you" she declares as she takes the small brown bottle from my ageing hands, before turning and closing the doors. I sigh. One job done, on to another I ponder as I make my way down the long hallway. Soon I found myself outside my chambers. I open the door ensuring not to let it bang as Merlin would do. I walk into my chambers, heading to check on the girl, I didn't even bother checking on the young Warlock knowing his wounds were less life threatening than of hers, the fact that Merlin had healed the young woman with his powers must have left my brain. I open the door to Merlin's sleeping quarters and to my utter astonishment and shock the girl was not there. In my confused daze I look around Merlin's fairly tidy room, but she was not there it was like if she disappeared. I walk back out of Merlin's room and what I see shocks me further. The young girl was slumbering, her head resting on Merlin's chest, her left hand lying on his the now healed side, her other hand entangled in Merlin's larger ones. What shocked me the most was how his wounds had healed. could he have healed himself? is that possible? I think before I move quietly to them and place a spare blanket over the woman's slender shoulders, before turning around and heading out the door, to collect the herbs I needed, making a reminder in my mind to remember to ask the young Warlock how he was healed and who the young woman currently resting on Merlin's chest was.

Merlin POV:

The dark, cloudy mist around my unconscious brain started to clear, the darkness replaced by blissful slumber. Soon enough the mist had completely dispersed and my heavy eyes started to become lighter and shortly after my eye lids started to flutter open. My blue eyes open completely, the light of the fading sun dazzling me for a few seconds before my eyes adjusted to the new-found light. I start to move my arms but soon found I couldn't, the slight weight of an unknown body making the simple action complicated. My eyes swiftly dart down to the body and to my surprise I see the face of Isabella, her beauty once again taking my breath away. Her long caramel hair covered my chest, tickling the skin beneath it. I feel her small hand entangled in my manlier ones, whilst the other rests on my side. A slight twinge of pain radiated off my side, I do my best to look at my side, struggling to push myself to a sitting position, but eventually I succeed, her head falling gently on to my lap. I look down to my side and to my shock the once gaping wound was now merely a scratch, it was then I remembered what Isabella could do. She was a magic user, just like me. I try to move from under her but to my surprise she lets out a mumble which sounded something like:
"Don't move, please. you're so warm" and with that she moves closer to me. To my shock, my hands moved to her hips and started to pull her up to the bed, it was as if they had a mind of their own. I use my magic to help me, as I struggled slightly, my body still weak from the blood loss. As soon as she was off the seat her arms went around my sides and she slides herself as close to me as physically possible. Her body being so close to mine sent sparks through me, my magic souring to life, why I don't know. My magic spread warmly through my veins and to my shock and awe, mist like gold started to seep from my body to her's, all the while silver mist came out of her and into me. I felt my body tingle, the magic I felt inside me now more powerful than before, the mix of gold and silver churning in my veins, strengthening my magic. As soon as the magic inside me stopped whirling around my body I slump forwards my energy draining, and my head leans on hers, content with resting on her feeling as though I had known her for years and not less than a day. The feelings I had already developed towards her confusing me, how could I feel this way? My mind, in its tiered, confused state, fell once again into oblivion.

Well there it is! Chapter 4! Sorry if it was kind of short, but I have no idea if you guys want them longer or not. So off you could review it would mean so much. Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed XD
