Please review and tell me what you think. If I'm honest I'm not entirely pleased with this so would love to hear some feed back!

Merlin's POV

Nobody moved an inch. That's what unsettled me most- not the fact that Morgana was my half-sister. Uthur seemed frozen as if this last secret had ripped out his soul (although it's debatable as to whether he ever had one), and Gaius seemed relieved but still wary about our reactions. My mother just looked hopefully at Morgana who in turn looked shocked.

I reluctantly tore myself out of Arthur's grip and went over to the older girl. "Hey big sister."

Tears threatened to over spill out of her beautiful jade eyes but she managed to choke out. "Hey little sister." We stared at eachother as if sizing eachother up and then fell into each other's arms. "I don't know what it is to have a sister. I've been alone since I was eight."

I smiled into her shoulder. "Are you kidding? I've only ever had my mother and Will. I've got no clue but I'm going to help you with your powers Morgana."

Her grip tightened around me so that it was almost suffocating but I relished it. "Aren't as I as the eldest meant to teach you." There was a slight laugh in her voice and I saw heard the similarity between her laugh and mine, the thought that I was similar to my new found sister warmed my heart.

Arthur stepped forward and I released Morgana so that she and Arthur could talk. "Your my sister?"

"It seems so." Morgana was looking at Arthur as if trying to reconcile the fact that they were related.

Arthur shifted awkwardly and I had to shove a hand in my mouth to stop myself from laughing at the prince's unusual unease. "Well you always were an annoying sister to me."

A frown creased Morgana's beautiful face and then she mock pouted but before she could say anything I flung my arms around both their necks and pulled them into a three way hug. They both tensed and seemed a bit awkward but after a while they relaxed and soon we were supporting eachother.

Gaius coughed as if to remind us that there were other people in the room and we quickly released eachother. I could see my mother had tears flowing unrestrained down her pale cheeks and her eyes were sparkling with joy, however I didn't trust her yet. She'd still betrayed me and lied to me for my entire life. She'd watched me suffering when she must have surely been able to do something and as much as I was thrilled to have a new half sister she'd never told me about my half siblings.

Uthur was still slumped on his throne and Gaius had gone over to him to check that he was fine but I couldn't make myself care. This monster was the reason that I'd been raised without a father, had never even met him or heard his name until today! The anger and resentment built up inside of me and demanded release and my magic responded. All the windows suddenly imploded and everybody ducked down terrified, even my own mother.

"How could you three let us live with the lies for so long!? How could you who claim to care about us never tell us about eachother?! Me and Morgana were scared of ourselves and needed help! If one of you had told us about our relationship we could have helped eachother."

My magic screamed again from inside of me and this time the doors flew off their hinges to reveal a puzzled and curious court. "Your all filthy hypocritical liars and I hate you!"

"Merlin you need to calm down-"

"Don't tell me to bloody calm down, Gaius! You're as guilty as these two! Morgana, Arthur and I deserved the truth from the beginning. We didn't deserve the lies that you all fed us and-" I broke off here as the sobs threatened to over whelm me.

Arthur's POV

I saw Merlin crumble and I reached out and brought her back into my arms. She fitted perfectly and I could feel the magic frantically buzzing through her veins. Part of me was horrified by the raw power that was coming off her but part of me found it addictive and wanted to absorb it and relish in it.

I saw Morgana come on the other side of Merlin and grasping her elbow supportively. "Merlin's right. We all deserved the truth a long time ago. Now if you don't mind we are going to go to my chambers because I don't think any of us can stand to look at the people who lied to us all our lives."

Morgana tugged Merlin's arms which brought me into action and gently I guided Merlin out of the throne room after Morgana who parted the sea of courtiers like the red sea. I kept Merlin's body in my grip in an attempt to shield her from the curious looks of the crowd. People were wise enough not to attempt to follow us because I think they know that Morgana would be likely to chop off various body parts if they did and at the moment I wasn't completely adverse to it.

Once we were in the pretty much deserted corridors Morgana returned to Merlin's side and whispered softly. "Merlin, are you alright?"

Merlin's head lifted from my chest and I couldn't help the twinge in my gut as my chest felt cold without her there. "I'm sorry. I don't often lose control like that but..." She trailed off and looked up at me as if waiting for me to yell or punish her. Another stab of some unknown feeling went through my body. "I'm sorry Arthur. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to lie but I thought you'd kill me and I didn't want to die. I don't want you to hate me!"

All I did was squeezed her closer to my body and murmured softly into her hair. "I understand Merlin and I could never hate you. I don't like magic I admit, but from what I've seen of my father today you don't need magic to horrible things. And I could never see you as evil no matter how many windows you smash!"

Merlin giggled weakly into my chest and Morgana beamed at me , which nearly knocked me over. I mean seriously I've never seen Morgana look at me with actual respect or pride. It was quite alarming really.

The rest of the journey continued in amiable silence apart from the occasional sniffle from Merlin. It gave me a chance to really think about all the things that had just been revealed. So Morgana was my sister, well that wouldn't really change much, we'd always had a more sibling relationship. We'd just have to stop the casual flirting...wait! My father let us flirt! Urgh, that's disgusting! What kind of father allows his children to flirt with eachother, at least that's as far as it went! Merlin had magic and was also a girl. A very attractive girl at that who was at this moment burying herself into my chest. It was taking a considerable amount of effort not to kiss her senseless. Which was ridiculous because an this morning she'd been my useless manservant who I rarely admitted I was friends with let alone had any romantic interest in. Although that was when she was a man and now she was a woman, and a very well endowed woman at that. The fact that she had magic didn't alarm me as much now as it had at first because I meant what I said earlier: today I'd seen that you don't have to be magical to do awful things so it probably works vice versa. Plus I couldn't even try to make myself believe that the girl in my arms was evil- she'd even saved my life a few times- and apparently Morgana had magic as well and I'd known her for so long that I knew she wasn't evil.

As for the other issues surrounding my parents I didn't even want to think about, not now, now I wanted to just be with the two women next to me who I knew despite the lies would always care and protect me. All I wanted was for us to get through today and then we'd deal with tomorrow when it came.
