Hello my beautiful followers and the beautiful people who are reading this chapter.
I hope that you enjoy the story and will continue reading. If you have some time on your hand I would appreciate if you could write a review.
And just so you don't forget. I still don't own Merlin. (Sometimes I wish I did though)
Now onto the story. Upwards and onwards!
Merlin got up to his room and laid down on his bed. There were so many thoughts and memories going through his head. He had been a girl and a witch in his past life and everyone he knew now had been there. Not only that but he had been in love with Arthur. No wonder he had acted like a girl in love. Somehow his body had remembered it before his head. Then it hit him. In his previous life, Arthur had married Gwen. Merlin had had to watch the one he loved get married to another woman and then some time later Morgana had made sure he could not save him.
Why was Morgana on the trip? She had been their greatest enemy but she wanted him to remember the past. Was she good now? Did she regret the things she did? Would all of it happen again? Merlin needed time to wrap his head around all the new things. "I will take off a couple of days" he mumbled to himself as he buried his face deeper in his pillow.
The day after the trip Arthur went to school with Morgana in the car like he used to. They were all excited to talk to Merlin again after what had happened at the museum. After they got home Artur had suddenly realised how weird Merlin had acted after the chandelier had not hit them. When Arthur had told Morgana about the happening in detail she noticed how weird it was.
"Do you think Merlin might have used magic?" She asked her brother and pointed out "He might unconsciously have used magic to save you" That had made Arthur think. He would act normal for the next couple of days to see how Merlin acted. If anything changed in his behaviour, he might have remembered something and then Arthur would speak to him about it. If not, then they would have to make another plan.
As they picked up Gwen and Elyan they slipped her a piece of paper so that Elyan did not hear a thing. He had not remembered yet and considering how he died, he might be better of not knowing for now. Just like with most of their friends.
When they arrived at the school Elyan went his way and the other started talking. "Is there a really a chance of Merlin having used magic?" Gwen asked her friends. They both nodded and then they told her about their plan. "I think it is a good plan" she told them "We give him room to get used to what happened no matter if he remembered or not. I like that" as she finished he sentence she looked up at the clock on the wall. "Morgana if we go now we will not be late for class" she said as she turned to her friend and grabbed her hand.
Arthur also started walking towards his classroom when he noticed Gwaine looking concerned. He would have asked but the bell rang before he could get near him. He hurried to the classroom and sat down. Looking around the classroom Arthur noticed that Merlin was nowhere to be found. Was he late? Maybe and that would not even be weird. Even back in the days as a servant he had been slow and always showed up late. However, now that Arthur thought about it Merlin might as well have been saving his life most the time and he would not have known. So, Merlin being late was anything but abnormal.
As the day went on Merlin never showed up and Gwaine did not seem to be anywhere. "Should I visit Merlin after school?" Arthur asked Morgana while that were eating lunch. Gwen had decided to eat with her brother. Morgana thought about it for a minute and then responded to her brother "Maybe it is best that you leave him be for today. He might just have a headache" Arthur could see the logic in that so he decided not to visit. He was still worried.
"Merlin, you should get something to eat" Gaius told him as he knocked on the door to his room. When there was no answer he went back down stairs. No matter how much he wanted to help the boy Gaius could not help him if he did not tell him how to.
The whole day Merlin had been laying in bed thinking. Some of the time he had tried some of the less showy magic to see if it was real and it was. He remembered an old spell that would just open a book so he tried it. "Unheran achtung bragdan" he mumbled and an old book moved from one end of the room where it stopped in front of Merlin and opened. How could he have forgotten about all of this. Even though he understood why he would want to this was something nobody should be able to take away from him. Not even a tragic life. He had been strong but this time he would be stronger. Except for the fact that Merlin would have trouble looking Arthur in the eyes the next couple of days. Maybe even talking to him.
All spells used in this fanfiction is from the series so I do not own them either.
I hope you will stick around for a bit after reading to write a review. It would make this blue piece of paper very happy.
Take a look at you later folks.
