Hey guys.
First of all I want to apologise for the huge wait I put you through. I know that you have better things to do that wait on my update ;) anyway, sorry.
This is on of the final chapters. I believe it is quite good though somewhat but in connecting the scenes with one another.
I want to hear your thoughts on it please. It's what keeps me going.

Assassin of Syria: Haha, don't worry all trouble will be over in a few chapters from now. Thanks for your support.
Guest: Καθυστέρησα ελαφρώς το ξέρω αλλα γινοταν χαμός αστα να πάνε. Λοιπόν θέλω να μου πεις πρώτον τη γνώμη σου για το κεφάλαιο αλλά το βασικότερο θέλω καμιά ιδέα για το τέλος. Έχω σκεφτεί κάτι αλλά δεν είμαι 100% ικανοποιημένη, θελω τη βοήθεια του κοινού. Καλή ανάσταση

"Morgana?"
"Hello?"
"Anybody there?" Merlin was starting to get bored. It was the twentieth time he had tried to wake Morgana up and she still didn't show any signs of awakening.
"Morgana wake up you have to see this" Merlin tried again.
Morgana nuzzled in her sleep and opened slowly her eyes. They had fallen asleep on the couch Arthur left them last night and he knew better not to wake them.
"What is it?" she said, her voice still low and groggy from the sleep.
"Come here" Morgana complained a bit under her breath and got up.
"What is it Merlin?" When he didn't reply she got up next to him and let him place his hands on each side of her waist.
"Look outside" he whispered. "The view, it's amazing isn't it?"
Morgana turned to face him. He was expecting her to close her eyes and lean in for a kiss, that's how she usually was in the mornings. Too bored to talk to him, a kiss effectively shutting him up. But when Morgana turned she was laughing hard.
"What's so funny?" Merlin asked, confused. Morgana was trying to breath some air.
"Merlin" she stopped as another burst of laughter came. "You really thought all this to wake me up?"
Merlin grinned lopsidedly.
Draco came by later with Morgause to talk with them.
"So what are we doing now?" he asked after they hugged them multiple times.
They both stayed silent, knowing that, in fact, they had nothing at all to do.
"So what do we have? What evidence do we have against him?"
Morgana laughed humorlessly. "I believe the word nothing sums it up perfectly. Our birth files have been stolen, Uther's dead…"
"Oh oh" Gwen said.
"But we can still confront him." Draco said. "Break into his flat. Get the documents."
"Can we risk it?" Merlin asked.
"Of course we can. We must actually. You do or you don't want to get the hell out of this mess?"
"Yes we do" Merlin said. "But after all we don't even know were he lives"
"Right" Draco agreed. "But we will find out. I will ask my father if he has heard of him."
"Father's burial is today" Arthur said entering the room they were staying in. The truth of Uther's death seemed to have finally sunk in. There were dark circles under his eyes and there was no denying that he had been crying for hours. Morgana smiled softly with compassion at seeing her brother like this. She got up and enveloped him in a bone crushing hug. Arthur's ears were beginning to spill again.
"Shh' Morgana soothed him. "We are going to be alright. You are going to be alright Arthur. Stay strong, please."
O God, Whose property is always to have mercy and to spare, we humbly beseech Thee for the soul of Thy servant Uther, which Thou hast this day commanded to depart out of this world, that Thou wouldst not deliver it into the hands of the enemy, nor forget it unto the end, but wouldst command it to be received by the Holy Angels, and conducted to Paradise, its true country; that as in Thee it hath hoped and believed, it may not suffer the pains of hell, but may take possession of eternal joys.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Morgana's eyes stung from the cold wind. But she was grateful. She didn't want to cry and the wind was doing a great cover up job. She turned her head to Merlin and with the corner of her eye she saw him. In black clothes, entering his car and departing for the centre of the city.
"What the hell?" Morgana turned Merlin to the direction she as looking at.
Merlin looked there too and his reaction was similar. What the hell was he doing here? What did he want?
"Merlin come with me" Morgana took him by his hand and lead him to the car.
They took off and she phoned Gwen and Draco.
"Morgana are you crazy this might be dangerous" Merlin screamed at her.
She was at the driver's seat and was speeding madly behind Gorlois. Okay, Merlin thought that girls who drove fast were hot, but at the moment, he wanted to disappear. A car crash was not how he wanted to die.
"Shut up Merlin" she screamed back, eyes on the road. It took a minute for both of them to realize what she had just said. Merlin turned to look at her with a pained expression in his face. Don't be such a baby he told himself she didn't mean it. Morgana felt guilt at seeing him like this.
"I'm sorry" she said in a quiet voice. "I'm so sorry, Merlin, I didn't mean it"
"Don't worry" he told her and squeezed her hand reassuringly.
She couldn't believe it. They were finally after him. They were reaching for the finish of this crazy marathon. She didn't know what would come out of this day but all she knew was that it was either now or never. Their golden chance to win their happiness. They were following him and he probably had no idea. Arthur and Gwen phoned them to tell them that they were coming fifteen minutes later. How far was this damned house? Morgana's nerves were beginning to tighten.
"You seem tense" Merlin said after a long time of silence.
"You are very observant" Morgana said, the sarcasm in her voice obvious.
"Do you want me to drive?"
"No, I'm fine" Morgana said. "Don't worry. I just feel weird and I'm getting in out on you" Merlin chuckled.
"That's exactly how I feel right now too"
"Hmmm"
"We are so close Morgana. I can feel it. Our justice is near"
"Anything else the great seer Merlin has to add?" Morgana laughed at his tone.
Merlin looked at her and they both burst into fits of laughter.
Gorlois' car took a turn in an alley and finally halted in front of a large iron entrance.
"So here we are" Merlin muttered.
Gorlois went out of the car and hastily got outside, cradling something in his pocket.
"I think we should wait until the others come" Merlin said.
"Merlin come on don't be such a girl. The house is here. Gorlois is inside. I want to get my revenge. Now" Morgana snapped at him.
"Morgana, it's dangerous. Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
"I don't care if I get killed. I just want to kill him."
"Morgana, calm down" Merlin tried to calm her. He understood her rage, he knew she hated Gorlois with passion and he knew her only too well to know that she meant what she was saying. There was fire in her heart at the moment and she was planning on burning Gorlois down with it. It would cost her life. Even if he didn't kill her there would be legal consequences. I would cost the baby's life too. Their baby's.
"Morgana, please listen to me." Her eyes had almost changed from pale to dark green from the emotion inside and they were shining with not yet shaded tears.
"We've been through this before. I know you. You hate this man and I hate him too for your sake. I know you won't rest until he is punished. I know you want to be the one to do it. But just let's not be hasty. We might ruin this if we are not cautious. And for god's sake, I won't let any harm come to you or our baby, I promise." She opened her mouth to say something but he stopped her with his hand.
"I know, you'll say you don't care." Morgana looked at him in the eye. "But think about it better. Oh, I think you care. Think of the life we will have. Think of our baby growing up in peace. Think of all we can have if we are safe. Think of our home. Think of me. What am I going to do without you?" Merlin was crying out loud too.
A horn sounded from outside.
Arthur got out and approached them.
"What the heck happened here?"
Morgana glared at him but Merlin could sure justify him. He shut up and forgot all about his cheek in a mere second, gazing up at Gorlois' house.
"So here we are" he repeated Merlin's earlier words.
"Yes" Morgana said. "Let's go"
