Melinda peered into the well with caution, almost as if she was expecting some monster to come out and attack her.

"I can't see the bottom..." said Melinda, her voice filled with worry.

Realising that the young teen was beggining to feel afraid, Lancelot placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder and smiled down at her, "Don't worry. You're just moments away from going home."

Melinda smiled back at him, feeling her worries ebbing away.

"Don't forget you have to make a wish first Melinda" her father reminded her.

"Right!" Melinda reached for her pocket but her uncle stopped her.

"Wait! Use this."

Melinda turned around to see Arthur holding out a gold coin. Melinda beamed as she took it.

"Thank you"

"My pleasure" Arthur replied, smiling.

Melinda couldnt help herself, she wrapped her arms around her blonde uncle and hugged him tight.

"Even though I'm going to see you again, I'm still going to miss you" she admitted.

"As will I" Arthur responded, hugging back his niece fiercely. She had grown on him, he realized.

After hugging her uncle, Melinda went on to hug and kiss the cheek of the other knights. Finally, she came to her parents.

"I'm gonna miss you"

Merlin smiled, "So will we. But then, you're going to come into our lives soon enough right?"

Morgana nodded, "We are so happy to know that we're going to have a child as wonderful as you in the future."

At that, Melinda started to tear up. Quickly, her parents pulled her into a hug to calm her down. Once her sobs quieted at last, Merlin asked the question that has been on his mind since he met Melinda.

"Melinda, what is it about this pendant you're wearing that is so familair to me?"

"Well you gave it me on my birthday plus the fact this is the Dragon's Ruby which is passed on to the first daughter of ever dragonlord for protection and good luck."

Merlin wanted to ask how Merlin came in possession of such a thing but he was interrupted when an unfamiliar voice spoke up.

"Are you ready young one?"

Everyone looked up to see a small blue speck of light.

"You must be the Le Fay" Morgana realized.

The fairy nodded and watched as Melinda throw her coin into the well and make her wish.

"Please grant me safe passage home, back to my own time."

"Your wish shall be granted."

With those words, Melinda could feel the ground below her crumbling. She looked down, horrified to find that she was standing on empty space. She screamed as she fell downwards.

Ballinor ran his hand down his face in a frustrated fashion. It's been almost 5 days since his sister had gone missing. Every night, his father patrols the lands on Killgarrah, hoping to find some glimpse of her. His mother had been through spellbook after spellbook with his other younger sister, Morgawse researching, trying to look for a spell that can help locate his beloved sister. Their past attempts had failed miserably, leaving them feeling helpless. His youngest brother, Morgan searched Camelot and its woods; as far as the border would go, day after after day, calling for his dear sister to come back; obviously upset by his sister's sudden disappearance. Ballinor himself would leave with his friends to look for her when they could but still nothing.

"Ballinor!"

The 15 year old knight turned to see his friend, Lance carrying his lost sister running toward him.

"Melinda!"

"Now, your memories must be erased" the Le Fay announced.

"No!" yelled Percival "Melinda saved me life!"

"It has to be done" Merlin said solemnly.

Morgana was perplexed by her future husband's answer. She was about to protest but her half-brother interrupted her.

"Merlin's right. We aren't supposed to know about what the future hold in the first place. It would disrupt the fabric of time in the first place."

Gwaine blinked at Arthur's words, "Wow Princess... that's the first smart thing I ever heard you say since I became a knight!"

Arthur glared at the alcoholic but he didn't have the chance to yell at him because the Le Fay spoke again.

"Nevertheless, he is right. Prepare yourselves."

Merlin kissed Morgana on the forehead and whispered in her ear, "Till next time"

Morgana was about to reply him but she blacked out before she could.

Melinda awoke to find Lance's worried face hovering over her.

"Lance?"

Lance smiled softly down at her, "You're home. Everyone's been so worried."

"Were you?" was the girl's meek reply.

"Of course I was! You've been gone for days now!"

"I know, I know. Is everyone alright?"

"Everyone's been frantic! Where were you?!"

"In the past" was the young witch's simple answer.

Lance blinked, confused. He was about to ask her what she meant but Melinda stopped him by pressing her lips against his.

After a moment, she drew back, "Please Lance. I'm tired."

Lance didn't answer, he was too shocked.

"What? Was I bad?"

"No, no! It was just...I was...you know...surprised...that you like me that way..."

"Oh..."

Lance blushed hard as he said the next few words, "Because I feel the same way..."

Melinda blinked her eyes again and again, not believing what she just heard but before she could question him to elaborate further, her father rushed into the room.

'Melinda!"

Her father, the father she remembered with his 5 'o' clock shadow making him look more handsome and sophisticated than his past self.

Merlin hurried over to his favorite child and hugged her tight.

"Papa..."

"Mel...please..."

Then, his wife came in.

"MELINDA!"

Morgana rushed into the room, yanked her own husband off their daughter and hugged Melinda but much tighter than Merlin, in fact it was so tight that the girl's face was turning blue. Melinda tried to tell her mother to stop but no words could come out. At that moment, Ballinor came in and seeing his sister in distress, he helped to pry his mother off his sister. When he successfully did so, Melinda gasped for air and Lancelot passed her a glass of water which she took it gratefully.

"Where were you?" her father asked.

"You had us worried sick!" Morgana scolded.

"I fell into a wormhole"

At that, Merlin and Morgana paled.

"How were you able to come back?" Balinor asked, curious.

"The Well of Le Fay"

"You went there on your own?!" her parents yelled.

"I had you two with me! Plus the Knights of the Round Table!"

"My dad?" asked Lance.

Melinda nodded.

Just then, Morgawse came into the room.

"Sis! Morgawse came over to her sister and hugged her before kissing her on the cheek, "You scared me half to death!"

"Sorry..."

"Where's Morgan?" Balinor asked.

Immediately Morgawse stiffened but didn't reply him.

"He should be coming soon. He was supposed to be back an hour ago." Morgana said.

"He didn't..." muttered Morgawse.

"What did you say?" her father asked, he heard her say something but wasn't sure what.

"Morgan didn't return..."

At that, Morgana burst into tears.

Morgan awoke to find himself in Camelot's physician chambers but it looked different than usual.

What's going on?

At that, an old man came in whom Morgan immediately recognized from a portrait his father had kept.

THAT'S GRANDFATHER GAIUS!

But...didn't he die a few months before I was born?

MUAHAHAHA!

THIS IS THE END!

I'll let you know when the sequel comes out!
