"Gaius," Merlin asked, "can Robyn stay for a few days?"

"It depends…"

"On what?"

"Well, where is she going to sleep, for a start?"

"I can sleep in Merlin's room," Robyn butted in. "If he doesn't mind," she added as an after-thought.

"No. I mean, that's fine. I don't mind," Merlin said, flustered. The words of the druids were still looming in his mind, the shock still weighing down on him like lead.

"But what about your parents? Won't they miss you?" Gaius asked Robyn. She glanced at Merlin. Their eyes met for a second.

"Errrrrr… no they won't. I'm not exactly expected to go home…"

"Why on earth not?" Gaius's voice was full of concern.

"I don't live with my parents. It's kind of hard to explain. I'd rather not talk about it," she said.

"Oh. I'm sorry."

"Don't be. They had a good reason," she smiled, but the smile was forced, and there was a loneliness and longing in her eyes.

"I'll make up another bed in my room," Merlin said, but his eyes were just a bit too bright, and his smile was just a bit too broad to be true.

The night was dark and cold, the moon shining in the heavens like a silver crystal. Wind whistled around the towers, danced between the battlements. The sky was bleak; a few stars cowered in the blackness as the moon frowned down on the earth. The world was silent.

The shape loomed out of the blackness, coming ever closer with each tick of the clock. Robyn. Robyn. My name sliced through the air from nowhere. From everywhere. The thing came closer. And closer still. I could see its' eyes, glowing threateningly at me from the shadows. I was screaming, trying with all my mind to get away, but my legs were stuck to the floor and I couldn't move, and the thing came even closer, its' fiery breath burning me, and I still couldn't run, and it came closer and closer and closer still and…

Robyn woke from her dream, screaming in terror. The candles in Gaius's chambers flickered and went out, drowning the room in darkness. The floor shook, books and bottles tumbled from the shelves. Merlin awoke with a start.

"Robyn? Robyn!" he shouted, leaping up and shaking her to break her away from the nightmare. Her eyes were round with fear and her breathing was shallow and irregular. She gripped his arm tightly. "Robyn, it's ok now. It was only a dream. It can't hurt you." Merlin put his arm around her shoulders, and gradually her breathing returned to normal.

"Merl…"

"Merlin!" a furious shout came from the lower room, interrupting Robyn's words. Her and Merlin broke apart from their hug.

"Merlin! What have you done, boy?" Gaius flung open the door and stared at Merlin accusingly. Robyn opened her mouth to speak but Merlin silenced her with a pointe stare and turned to face Gaius.

"I'm sorry," he said simply.

"Sorry isn't good enough! You'll have to clear it all up!"

"Sorry," Merlin said again. Suddenly, a twinkle came into his eyes. He clicked his fingers and the books returned themselves to their rightful places.

"Merlin! How many times have I told you – don't use magic in Camelot? What if someone sees you?"

Merlin just grinned.

"Right, Merlin. Go and see if Arthur will let you have a day off today – after all, you've got to show Robyn around Camelot, and I need some herbs from the forest," Gaius ordered over breakfast.

"Do I have to? I hate picking herbs!" Merlin complained.

"Now, please, Merlin."

With a sigh, he stood up a stomped huffily over to the wall where his bag hung. He picked it up and swung it round, on to his shoulders. The leather satchel flew through the air, catching the edge of the table with a fold of fabric. It wobbled and a small vial of ruby liquid tilted this way, that way, the other way, and fell towards the floor. Time froze as it sailed downwards…

And stopped.

Robyn stood, arm outstretched, hand open. Her eyes glowed amber as she gently lifted it back up to the table and lowered her eyes to the floor.

"You have magic," Gaius whispered in awe.

Robyn raised her head and, very slowly, nodded.
