Sooo, I've made this chapter as long as possible, but I'm completely shattered at the moment. But I promise, tomorrow afternoon, I will write more!
Chapter 13: Magical love part 1
Lyra didn't understand what had just happened... What did I say? I-I love him?...No! I mustn't betray Arthur!" But her heart thought differently.
"I-I-." Lyra was so confused. One moment she hated him and now...
Mordred smiled sweetly, "Whats wrong, my dear?"
"How...? Why...? What have you done to me?" She asked hesitantly.
He clicked his tongue. "I've done you a favor."
"What. Did. You. Do?" She demanded.
"I think it's time you get some look tired..." Lyra just stared into his beautiful eyes...Wait- what!? Beautiful? Oh my god... Help me!
"I am." She admitted after a while. "But that doesn't-..." He cut her off.
"Hush." Mordred said slowly and to her surprise, he carried her bridal style on to the bed,
"Good night, my love." Mordred said, smiling at his success. "I'm afraid I have work to do, I will return tomorrow evening... I love you." He blew a kiss and left.
"I love you too." Do I? I must see Merlin tomorrow and ask him what I should do...
The next morning, Lyra got up slowly and dressed in a violet gown and left Arthur's old chambers and headed for the dungeons.
"None shall pass. King's orders." a guard said, putting his hand up, gesturing for her to stop. Lyra smiled sweetly.
"Surely that doesn't count for his love?"
The guards hesitated, but decided to let her in.
"Merlin?" She looked around, but she couldn't see him in any of the normal cells. "Merlin?"
She heard the clanging of chains, and Merlin's face appeared out of a high security cell.
"Lyra?" He asked, and she smiled again, but an ashamed smile.
"Merlin, I-."
"Lyra, I thought Mordred wouldn't let you down here?" He asked, confused.
"Well... I think I'm..." Merlin stared at her guilty gaze, perplexed in every way.
"Lyra, where are you going with this?" Merlin was getting worried.
"I think I'm falling for Mordred..." She didn't look him in the eyes, which had widened dramatically.
"W-what?" Merlin stuttered, shocked. "What about Arthur!?"
"I-I-I know, but after we ate, I don't know why...But I-I said that...that I...I Loved him!" she replied.
"Lyra...What did Mordred do to you?" Lyra tilted her head in confusion.
"N-nothing...He said he loved me too and..." Then she remembered. he hissed something to me before I-"He whispered something... I don't know what language it was...But I remember him looking me directly in the eyes..."
Merlin's eyes, if possible, widened more. "Lyra! He used magic!" Merlin stated. "Get me out of here and I'll try to help..." Lyra shook her head.
"Merlin, I can't... If I do... Mordred will find out and... You know..."
"Lyra, get Gaius...He'll help you." Lyra nodded and bid him farewell.
Lyra did as Merlin suggested and went to Gaius. "I need your help, Gaius." He nodded.
"What is it child?"
"I went to Merlin and he told me to come to you." she paused, letting out a jagged sigh. "I'm in love with Mordred." Gaius's eyes widened too.
"In love?"
"Merlin thinks he used magic..."
Gaius went into Merlin's chambers and bought an old book out and opened it, flicking through the pages as he placed it on the table.
"This is a book of spells and enchantment... There should be something in here for removing love spells..." He told her, and she nodded. "Here!" He pointed to a page with writing she didn't understand at all.
"Gaius...How can I do that? I know nothing of magic." she said.
"I once, many years ago, practiced magic..." Lyra already knew that, even before King Uther, Arthur's father had died. "But I can't do a spell as powerful as this...You must go back to Merlin, take this book to him, he'll know what to do."
Lyra nodded, and left the room, taking the leather binded book with her.
As she walked down the corridor, she was unaware of the figure following her...
So what do ya think?
