thanks y'all for the support not much to say so... Anywho...
DISCLAIMER: Still don't own Merlin :(
Isabella POV:
"It is me" I announce my voice shaking slightly as Uther's cold blue eyes bare down at me, his face one of utter shock.
"No..." he whisper's his face pale, a grey colour taking over his usual, fairly tanned face.
"How can it be?...Leave" He uttered to the court, they all rush out of the room leaving only the king, Gaius, Arthur, the knights, a couple of servants, a black haired woman and of course Merlin.
The king then seems to sway slightly, before sinking into his throne, guided by Arthur as the revelation that he had a Niece finally sunk in, knocking down his usual hard, cold demeanour into tiny pieces.
Seconds ticked into minuets as we wait for the King's reaction, but finally the shocked look dispersed from his ageing face as he finally speaks his voice once again strong and kingly.
"What is you name, child?" he asked as he stood once more, the mask of emotionless returned.
"Isabella, sire" I answer hesitantly.
"A fine name for one of royalty. Come forth, Niece" He commands, and I do not dare to leave him waiting as he ushers me towards him.
I walk up the steps, until I stood before my Uncle. He was a tall man, his hair Gray in age, his eyes blue like his son and my mother's. His face had wrinkles (but not as many as gaius), but you could see that once, in his younger years he was a handsome man, age had treated him fairly.
"I see my sister in you, child." He says as he places his hands on my shoulder as he took in the sight of his Niece.
"You have your Mothers beauty, but you are taller, stronger." He observed before adding
"Come, you must meet Arthur and my ward Morgana" He says leading me to were Arthur stood next to the dark haired woman, who must have been Morgana.
"Nice to see you again, Isabella" Arthur comments a smile gracing his handsome face as a look of shock crossed Uther's face.
"What do you mean again" Uther ask's
"It is a long story father" Arthur dismisses as I move so I am in front of the Lady Morgana.
"My Lady" I greet a smile on my face at the thought of a chance to make a female friend.
"Its a pleasure to meet you, Isabella" She says smiling back, but I'm soon distracted as I spot Merlin standing behind of Arthur.
His gorgeous blue orbs meet mine and he grins, his smile taking my breath away, his eyes seemed to smile too as the corners creased and they shone with happiness, I feel a small blush make its presence known on my face as I think of how it felt to be wrapped in his arms.
"Come Isabella. We must get you settled in, that is if you are staying here" Uther says startling me out of my trance.
"Oh o...of course" I stutter.
"You shall have the chambers across from Arthur. His Manservant will show you where and help you get settled in. Tomorrow we shall arrange new clothing for you." He says looking expectantly towards Merlin.
"Thank you, Sire" I answer
"Call me Uther or Uncle" He says as he turns and walks from the throne room, a servant trailing behind.
"My Lady" I hear Merlin's voice say and I turn to find him stood close behind me and as I turned I bumped right into him.
"Oh..sor..sorry" I stutter as he caught me by the hips, before I would have fallen backwards.
"Urm...I..sorry."He says just as I.
It was then I hear a chorus of chuckles come from behind Merlin's, and I spot the Knights and Arthur laughing, Gaius and Morgana trying to contain their amusement.
"Sorry" Merlin mutters again his face a deep shade of red as he let go of my hips, his warm hands leaving a sense of warmth on me and as soon as they left I wanted them back.
I ignore the redness of my cheeks and the laughing Arthur and Knights and hooked my arm into Merlin's.
"Lead the way Merlin" I say as he smiles down at me and squezes my arm as he takes my away from the throne room, up corridors, up stairs until we stop at a door.
"After you, milady" He says as he opens the wooden door a charming smile on his face. I walk through, him right behind me.
It was at that moment I felt it and I turn just as Merlin pushes me to the ground, his body landing over mine as if protecting mine, then it hit us. An explosion sounded from were we had been standing. I feel Merlin jerk as stone landed on his back, but he didn't even let out a sound only clutched me nearer, making sure nothing hit me.
When it went silent I open my eyes, not remembering when I had closed them, my head was buried in Merlin's shoulder, the smell of him comforting.
"Merlin?" I ask hesitantly into his shoulder as he had not moved, and I feared he was unconscious.
"Are you okay?" came my answer as he lifted his head and blue eyes met green.
"Am I okay!? What about you! You were the one who the brunt of the explosion! I should be asking you that!" I exclaim and he lets out a chuckle before his face grew serious as footsteps came nearer, and he bolts up grunting as he went, pulling me up with surprising strength, pushing me behind him, preparing to protect me again. I clutch the back of his shirt, shocked at how dependant I was becoming on Merlin's protection, safety and comfort.
The wall and door that once stood when we came through was now laying in ruins on the floor, luckily none of the bigger rock had hit Merlin.
The foot steps were right outside of the ruined wall now and I could feel Merlins magic, build within him causing mine to react the same, it surged through my veins as the person came around the corner, their face covered by the shadow of darkness lowering sun and the looming hallway created.
The figure steped forward its face now revealed by the golden rays that seeped through a window and I gasp in realisation at who stood before us.
Whoop! whoop! Chapter 12 everyone!
