Hey guys, sorry for the delay and Happy Father's Day! I finally finished this chapter today and I'm so happy I'm finally done with the first episode of Merlin. Hope you enjoy it.

The next morning, Gaius entered our messy chamber and picked up Merlin's clothes. I was sound asleep thinking about my real family when I hear Gaius yelled, "Hoy!" I literally jumped, fell out of bed, and fell onto my butt.

"Ouch, thanks for that wakeup call Gaius," I said sarcastically.

I looked up at Gaius to see him shaking his head at me. Not long after that, Merlin woke up too. He looked guilty when he saw the shirt Gaius was holding.

Gaius was still mad when he said, "Have you two seen the state of this room?"

I pointed at Merlin and said, "For the record, it's all Merlin's clothes not mine."

Gaius started laughing as he said, "I could tell Sam that these are Merlin's clothes and not yours."

Merlin looked at me like he couldn't believe I sold him out. "Gee, thanks sis. Sorry Gaius, it just happens," he said.

Gaius gave him a look and said, "By magic?"

Merlin knew he was caught so he just said, "Yeah."

"Busted," I thought to him. I knew I was going to get it back from him.

Gaius sighed as he turned to Merlin and said, "Yes. Well, you can clear it up without magic. And then I want you to get me some herbs: henbane, wormwood, and sorrel. And deliver this to Morgana. Poor girl's suffering from nightmares."

I looked at Gaius all confused. "What about me? What can I do?"

Gaius smiled at me and answered, "You can help me with the herbs when Merlin get's back."

I smiled at him while Merlin looked shocked. "That's not fair! I have a lot of stuff to do and she gets it easy," complained Merlin.

Gaius sighed and said, "Just do as you told Merlin."

"Yeah, just do as your told Merlin," I thought to him as I smirked at him.

"I hate you," he thought to me as he glared.

"Love you too bro," I thought back.

After Merlin left for the herbs, I help Gaius with his work. After an hour later, Merlin was still not back.

"Where could your brother be," asked Gaius.

"I don't know. Maybe I should look for him."

Gaius sighed and told me to find him soon. I immediately left and looked for my 'brother.' It does feel good to say that The Merlin, the most famous wizard of all time is my brother. I could help but feel happy and excited about that. A few minutes later after looking for him, I was getting close to Morgana's room. I passed her door but suddenly stopped right in my tracks. I backed up slowly and kneeled down on my knees.

I looked into the room to see Morgana behind her dressing wall and Merlin holding up her dress. I remembered this part of the series. Morgana thought Merlin was Gwen. Merlin even did his cute high 'Hmm' girly voice. I couldn't help but giggle. Thankfully Morgana didn't hear me but Merlin did. He turned around and saw be behind the door. He looked so desperate as me mouthed 'HELP ME!' I couldn't take it anymore. I placed my hand over my mouth trying really hard not to laugh.

"Sam, what are you doing," I heard someone said behind me.

I turned around to see Gwen looking at me all curiously.

"You have got to see this," I whispered to her.

She kneeled down beside to see what was happening to Merlin. I still had my hand over my mouth and I could tell Gwen was laughing too.

"Maybe I should help him," she whispered to me.

I shook my head she yes while still having my hand over my mouth. She walked inside and took the dress from Merlin while Merlin handed her Morgana's medicine. Merlin left the room but also grabbed my arm so I could follow him. I was laughing so hard now.

"That was not funny Sam," Merlin growled at me.

"Yes it was and come on, your 'hmm' voice was very nice. You even sounded like Gwen herself," I replied.

Merlin gave me a look but shortly afterward he and I were laughing our heads off. A few hours later, Merlin, Gaius, and I were standing in the Banquet Hall. It was very beautiful. The musicians were playing sweet musical, the lords and ladies dancing the night away, and the food smelled delicious. However, I could over hear the conversation with Arthur and his friends. They were making fun of Merlin. I looked back at my brother and saw his face was grim.

"Just ignore him Merlin. He's nothing but a jerk," I thought to him.

"I know, but it's sometimes hard not to ignore it," he thought.

"Aren't you my older brother? Aren't you supposed to say to me, no one can tell you who you are. Just be yourself and don't let others change you. You're an amazing person Merlin and one day you're going to be a great wizard," I thought to him.

He smiled at me and gave me a side hug. "Thanks Sam, I needed that," he whispered in my ear.

The room became really quiet all of the sudden. I could even hear Arthur murmured "God have mercy." I looked at the entrance to see Morgana enter the room is a beautiful red dress. She looked high and proud of the attention she was getting. I smirked as I remember she was trying to tease everyone tonight. Good for her, I thought. I looked back at Arthur to see that he was not looking at Morgana anymore but at me. His eyes widen when he saw me. I looked away from him feeling a little bit uncomfortable from his stare. Why is he looking at me? He's supposed to be looking at Morgana. She's prettier than me, I mean she's wearing a beautiful dark red dress and all I'm wear is my light blue dress. Sometimes I think the boy is nuts. I snapped right out of my thoughts when Gaius came over to us. I looked at Merlin to see was staring at Morgana like he was in a trance.

"Merlin, remember, you're here to work," said Gaius.

Merlin snapped out of his trance and said, "Oh, yeah."

However, Merlin continued to stare at Morgana as Arthur approached to talk to her. Morgana turned to look around and smiled right at me. I smiled right back to her but I couldn't help but wonder why she did. She never met me before. I looked up and saw Gwen walked up next to Merlin.

"She looks great, doesn't she," she asked us.

Merlin smiled and said, "Yeah."

"I can defiantly say red is her color," I said.

"Some people are just born to be queen," said Gwen.

Merlin looked shocked as he said, "No!"

Gwen just shrugged and said, "I hope so. One day. Not that I'd want to be her. Who'd want to marry Arthur?"

I rolled my eyes and said to her, "Tell me about it. He's too immature for his age."

Merlin smiled as he said, "Oh come on, Gwen. I thought you liked those real rough, tough, save the world kind of men."

"You know I did hear her say that," I said.

Gwen giggled as she said, "No, I like much more ordinary men like you."

Merlin blushed at her comment. "Gwen, believe me, I'm not ordinary."

She looked at him in shock as she thought she offended him. "No, I didn't mean you, obviously. Not you. But just, you know, I like much more ordinary men like you."

Merlin just smiled and said, "Thanks."

They turned away from each other awkwardly. I couldn't help but giggle.

"Again I'll say it, you so like her," I thought to Merlin.

"Shut up Sam," he thought back but glared at me.

I couldn't help but laugh. Merlin left me alone to help Gaius. I was looking around watching the knights and ladies dancing the waltz. I did take some dance classes when I was little and I did some theater dancing too. Looking at them dancing made me want to dance to. All of the sudden, I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around to see no other than Arthur standing right behind me.

"Excuse me Samantha, but do you care to dance," he asked me.

I was so shocked. The future king of Camelot is asking me to dance with him. I turned to Gwen to see her smiling at me.

I took a deep breath and said, "I would be honored sire."

He took my hand and led me to the ballroom floor. I turned into him and we started dancing the Waltz. I looked back at Arthur to see him saying something to me but I missed it.

"I'm sorry what," I asked.

Arthur smirked at me and said again, "I said I want to apology for my behavior before. I was rude and impolite."

"You said that before but you didn't mean it."

"Well I do now. I was wrong and I am sorry. I hope you can forgive me," he said with a hopeful look in his eyes. I could help but smile back.

"Yes sire I forgive you… for now," I said.

Arthur chuckled at my comment. Maybe he's not all that bad. He did get better in the series. The music suddenly stop and the dancers clapped for them. However Arthur was still holding on to me. My heart was pounding very hard in my chest. Arthur took my right hand and kissed it like before but a lot nicer this time. I felt like I was blushing again.

"Thank you for the dance sire," I said.

Arthur just smiled at me and said, "Please Samantha, call me Arthur."

I smiled back at him and said, "Of course Arthur and you can call me Sam."

I looked into his deep blue eyes and I felt something I never felt before. I blushed again and said goodbye to him. What is wrong with me? I never felt like this to any guy before. I walked up to Merlin to see he was a little concerned.

"What did he want," he whispered to me. I knew that if Arthur was making fun of me again, Merlin would kill him.

"Nothing, strangely enough he was kind to me. He asked me to dance, apologized to me, and told me to call him Arthur instead of sire," I whispered back.

Merlin's eyes widen as he whispered, "That is strange indeed."

The celebratory horns signaled King Uther's entrance and everyone walked to their place at the tables. Merlin and I stood of the side so we wouldn't interfere with anything. Uther stood up and looked at his court.

"We have enjoyed twenty years of peace and prosperity. It has brought the kingdom and myself many pleasures, but few can compare with the honor of introducing Lady Helen," he said.

As the court applause for her, I was shivering in fear. I knew that wasn't Lady Helen at all but I couldn't ran and scream that she was the sorceress, everyone will think I'm crazy. I felt a hand place gently on my shoulder. I looked up at Merlin who looked concern for me. I just smiled at him letting him know I was ok. The music began and the Uther and the court took their seats. Helen smiled at the crowd and started to sing. Her singing was sweet and beautiful and the court members began nodding off to sleep. Merlin and I noticed and we pressed our hands over our ears. I was shocked to see real cobwebs began to form over the enchanted sleepers. Merlin noticed her staring at Arthur as she walked forward.

"She's going to kill Arthur," Merlin thought to me.

"Merlin, that's not Lady Helen. I think that's the lady we saw at the courtyard who said she was going to avenge her son who was killed," I thought back.

Merlin's eyes widen when he heard what I said. She pulled out a dagger from her sleeve as she narrowed her eyes at Arthur and help her dagger above her head. Merlin looked around trying to find a way to stop her. I realized that he never noticed the chandelier. I have to tell him.

"Merlin, the chandelier," I thought to him. More like screamed in his mind.

Merlin looked at the chandelier and smiled. His eyes glowed and he cut the rope with it. 'Helen' stopped singing as she looked up as the chandelier fell right on her. The court members woke up from their deep sleep and pulled the cobwebs off of them. Uther and Arthur stood up to see Mary Collins lying on the floor. Merlin smiled at me as he knew I was right about that was her and not the real Lady Helen. I looked at Mary to see her raised herself up enough to throw the dagger at Arthur. Everyone was frozen with fear, including Merlin. I grabbed Merlin's hand and I slowed time. Merlin must have snapped out of it because we both ran up to Arthur and pulled him out of the way of the dagger. I landed on my back but I also felt another weight on my stomach. I looked up and see Arthur was right on top of me. Now I really felt my face turn red, I could see Arthur's face were red too.

"Sorry," he murmured.

"It's ok," I said.

Arthur got off of me while Merlin helped me up. I looked back at Arthur chair to see the knife landed right where Arthur's heart would have been. I looked back at Mary so see her take her last breath until she died. Uther and Arthur turns to Merlin and me. Merlin gripped my hand fearing for the worst.

Uther was the first to recover as he said to us, "You two saved my boy's life. A debt must be repaid."

Merlin looked a little bit nervous from the offer as he stuttered, "Oh, well..."

However, Uther continued on by saying, "Don't be so modest. You shall be rewarded."

"No, honestly, you don't have to, Your Highness," I said trying to play my part here.

Uther wouldn't take no for an answer. "No, absolutely. This merits something quite special."

Merlin kind of gave up as he said, "Well..." I couldn't help but roll my eyes.

" You shall be rewarded a position in the royal household. You shall be Prince Arthur's manservant and maidservant," he said as he left the ballroom.

I was shocked at that. I knew Merlin was going to be Arthur's servant, but me too. I looked at Merlin to see him as shocked as I was. The court applauded for us, however Arthur was upset at what his Dad had said.

"Father," he called out to Uther.

"Well this is awkward," I thought to Merlin

"No kidding," he thought back.

I looked at Gwen to see her clapping with a pitying smile on her face. She knew that Merlin and I were in a big nightmare. I looked back Arthur and Merlin to see them looking away from each other unhappily. I grabbed Merlin's hand and we walked out of the ballroom. I looked behind me to see Arthur was staring at me with a smirk on his face. This is going to be interesting.After that crazy experience we had, we went right to our room. I sat on my bed thinking what just happened. Merlin didn't notice the chandelier and was frozen in fear when the dagger was thrown. Am I being here changing everyone and putting people more in danger. If so, than why am I here? Merlin must have sensed my doubt because he came over and sat by me. I looked at him and smiled. He hugged right there and buried his face in my hair.

"Merlin, I was so scared," I whispered and truly I was.

"It's going to ok Sam. We'll get through this. We always have," he whispered back.

The door opened and Gaius came in with a book in his hands.

"Seems you two are heroes."

"Hard to believe, isn't it," asked Merlin.

"Very hard to believe," I said.

Gaius smiled at us and said, "No. I knew it from the moment I met you both. When you saved my life, remember?" I smiled at that memory. Merlin on the other hand looked confused.

"But...that was magic."
Gaius just smiled and nodded at him. "And now, it seems, we finally found a use for it."

"Really, you think so," I asked kind of curiously.

"What do you mean," asked Merlin.

"I saw how you saved Arthur's life. Perhaps that's its purpose."

Merlin sighed as he said, "My destiny." But then he looked and me and said, "Our destiny."

Gaius smiled at us and said, "Indeed. This book was given to me when I was your age, but I have a feeling it will be of more use to you than it was to me."

Gaius handed me the book wrapped in a cloth. I unlatched it and we both looked inside it. Merlin snorted as he saw what was inside of it.

"But this is a book of magic."

"Which is why you must keep it hidden, both of you."

I jumped up off of my bed and hugged Gaius. "Thank you so much!"

Merlin smiled and said, "We will study every word."

All of the sudden, someone knocked on door of the Physician's Chambers.

"Merlin, Samantha, Prince Arthur wants you right away," we heard.

Gaius smiled at us and said, "Your destiny's calling. You'd better find out what he wants."

I grabbed Merlin hand and smiled at him. "Come on, let's see what the royal prat wants from us."

Merlin smiled at me as we walked hand in hand to the door. I could swear I heard the ending music to the show. I smiled to myself as I thought, Camelot has gotten very interest now and I can't wait for the next episode.

There you have it. The end of The Dragon's Call. I hope you enjoyed it like I did. Valiant episode will be up as soon as I can. NICE REVIEWs PLZ!
