Hey guys! Just a quick note to say: I 3 YOU ALL!
I've already got loads of followers & reviews, so keep up the good work!
Disclaimer - I own absolutely NOTHING here, except Robyn, who I made up :D I would love to own more (like Morgana (cos she is AWESOME)) but I don't *sulks* !
Enjoy! Xx
The walls of Camelot stood like cliffs, rising above the trees, up and up into the grey, thundery sky. Rain poured from the clouds like tears. Thunder rumbled overhead, as lightning ripped the sky apart savagely.
Night was falling. Everywhere, people were scurrying around, sheltering under heavy shawls and cloaks, trying to complete their day's tasks before the darkness rolled in. The sky cried harder. The thunder rumbled again, more ominously this time. The skies darkened.
A timid knock sounded on Gaius' door. "Coming… oh good heavens!" he exclaimed as his heavy robes caught on the corner of the table. A small vial of amethyst liquid swayed and tipped over, smashing with a tinkle on the floor. He swung the door open, impatiently, expecting to see Gwen or Morgana. But, instead, a small girl stood, soaked by the storm, on his doorstep.
"Gaius?" the child said questioningly. She was quite young, and her eyes were a sparkling blue. Her hair was long and raven-black, and dripped with water from the heavy rain. She smiled at the old man.
"You are Gaius, aren't you?"
"Yes, child, I am. But who are you?"
"Robyn, mister."
"What are you doing here, Robyn?"
"I was wondering - is Merlin in? I need to see him."
"Oh?"
"It's very important," she looked up, hopefully.
"Merlin!" Gaius turned around and shouted up a small flight of stairs at the back of the room. There was no answer. "Merlin!" he shouted again, louder this time.
"What? I'm busy!" came the reply, yelled down the steps.
"Merlin, you've got a visitor!"
"Who is…" Merlin's mouth fell open as he appeared. He was looking in a mirror, Robyn his reflection. They were identical.
"Merlin?" Robyn raised her eyebrows. "Hello? Anyone there?"
"Oh… I… It's just… I thought… well… y'know…" he trailed off. "Gaius, I need to talk to…"
"Robyn," she filled in.
"Gaius, I need to talk to Robyn."
"Yes, you…"
"In private," Merlin prompted.
"Oh, yes, quite, quite," Gaius shuffled out. Merlin walked towards Robyn, cautiously. Who was she?
"What do you want with me?"
"Wait, I've got something for you," she said, rummaging in the folds of her soaking, mud-splattered cloak, and fishing out a folded piece of paper. She pushed it into his hand. "Read it."
Merlin breathed out slowly and opened the letter…
