Fear pt.3

Hello, hope you are having a good day.

"When Merlin is well, I'll talk to him." Rodor replied.

"If you can." Mithian mumbled. Then they left. Merlin moaned painfully. He opened his eyes.

"What's going on?" Merlin slurred.

"You're ok. Just relax. Can you tell us what happened?" Thomas explained.

"I don't know what happened. It's so fuzzy."

Merlin moaned as he pain in his arm got worse.

"I'll go get you something for the pain and to help you sleep."

"Ok."

Then Thomas and Mark left.

"You have done well. Do not mess it up. One wrong move and your family is dead." Mary/ Michael warned.

"It won't work, Mary. Mithian knows me well enough to know that I don't have a servant and never had and never will. You will not win." Merlin sternly said.

"You know nothing. You are wounded and in shock. You can't save your family."

The Mary/ Michael moaned and groaned in pain as the spell wore off.

"You can't keep doing this. It's draining you and you will die." Merlin sighed.

"Shut up. You have been able to do aging spells for a few days." Mary answered.

"I'm very powerful. Besides if I do an aging spell I get stuck. The only way I can turned back is with a special potion."

"Shut up."

"Inebriate eum pati."

Merlin cried as the pain in his body got worse. Then it stopped. When it stopped Merlin prayed and quoted scripture.

"Please, Lord, protect my family. Help them to survive. Please help Mithian and Rodor. Lord, give me strength to be strong. Take all fear and doubt from my mind. Lift this burden from me. Take this pain from me, O Lord. Help us all." Merlin prayed as he cried.

"Stop praying. Your God won't help you." Mary quietly shouted.

"When I am afraid, I will trust in thee – Psalms 56:3."

"I said stop it."

Merlin didn't stop. Mary then put a bracelet on Merlin's wrist.

"There now you can't use your magic." Mary sighed. Then someone knocked on the door.
