Hey guys, I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sorry for the late update. I know it's been a couple of months since I last updated. I just finished my college exams and summer is coming up soon! I don't know when I'll update next, but hopefully it will be soon.

Also, I have a poll up right now and I need your help. Right now I am currently writing 3 Fanfiction stories and that's becoming too much for me right now. I'm trying really hard to update all of them quickly but it's not working. So on my poll; it says "Which story do you want me to finish first while the others are on hold?" Please take the poll for me so I can figure out which story do I finish first. The results will be up next week so please vote!

Also, if you can't review this chapter, it's because I replaced the author's note with this chapter. If you can't review, then try reviewing as a guest reviewer.

Don't forget to review and look up my Polyvore to see what clothes Sam is wearing. As for now, please enjoy this chapter.

Also, I don't own anything except my OC Sam.

It has been a week since the Valiant incident and started 3 days ago, there was this virus and many people were dying from it. I knew right there that this was the work of Nimueh and the episode The Mark of Nimueh has started.

Right now Gaius, Merlin, and I are about to look over a corpse that was laying in the streets. I remember what the people who have the virus looked like from the TV show, but seeing it in real life; I knew it will be so disgusting.

Merlin looked at Gaius and asked, "Aren't you sacred?"

Gaius looked at Merlin with confusion as he asked, "Of what?"

I rolled my eyes as I said to Gaius, "He means that you might catch whatever it is. Like the chicken pox."

Merlin and Gaius looked at me all confused as I mentally slapped myself for my slip up. No one has heard the name chicken pox in the middle ages Sam! Get it together girl!

"Chicken what," asked Merlin.

"Never mind, forget what I had just said," I answered back.

Gaius smiled before saying to Merlin, "I'm the court physician, Merlin. This is part of my job. Most of the time there's nothing really to be scared of."

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

I nervously bit my nails as Gaius turned over the corps to reveal the dead man's white skinned and white eyed face. I gasped in horror at what was in front of me. Ok, I know I saw this episode a million times, but seeing it in real life was so gross. I mean, I can stand the sight of blood, but this was too much for me. I had a really hard time looking at the corpse and was trying not to puke.

"Oh my gosh, that is disgusting," I said as I covered my mouth trying not to gag.

"You were saying," Merlin asked grimly.

Gaius looked at us and said very seriously, "People mustn't see this. They'll panic."

Merlin nodded his head before looking at me. He looked concern when he saw my face was turning green. Not literally green, but I felt very nauseated right now.

"Sam, are you ok," he asked as he placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just… I need to bucket to puke into to," I said as I ran out of the room to find a place to throw up.

After I got over my sickness, and thank God that it's over, I was with Merlin and Gaius as we walked to the castle drawbridge. Merlin was wheeling a wheelbarrow with the dead body that was covered so no one will see it and I stayed far away from it. I do not want to get close to it and I don't want to take the chance of getting sick again.

"You feeling any better," he asked me.

"Yeah, and I hope I don't have a repeat of me getting sick like that again," I said.

As we continued to walk, I saw Gwen approaching us while she carried flowers in her hands.

"Hey Gwen," I said to her.

Gwen smiled at me and answered, "Hello Sam." She looked at Merlin curiously and asked, "What are you doing?"

Merlin looked at the wheelbarrow and he knew he couldn't tell Gwen what was in it. It would freak her out if she found out.

"Er...just moving… something," he stuttered.

"Looks heavy," she said.

I stepped aside as I watched the scene right in front of me. I knew that in season 1, Gwen did have a crush on Merlin, but I have to remember that she will be Arthur's future wife and Queen of Camelot. Still, I don't mind teasing Merlin about him and Gwen at the moment, until season 2 starts that is.

"Er, it's nothing really," said Merlin. I rolled my eyes, knowing he's trying to act strong in front of Gwen. He did however change the subject so Gwen doesn't know that Merlin was losing his grip on the heavy wheelbarrow. "Er...someone got you flowers?"

Gwen looked at her flowers as she blushed at the thought of someone giving her the flowers.

"Oh! No," she said as she giggled. She looked up at Merlin and asked, "Would you like one? A purple one. Purple suits you." I giggled to myself when she realized what she said to Merlin. "Not that I'm saying red doesn't suit you."

Merlin smiled at her as he took the purple flower.

"Thanks. Well, er..." he said as he sticked the flower in his scarf. Merlin looked up at Gwen and smiled at her. After a few minutes of staring each other, Merlin snapped out of it when Gaius cleared his throat. "Er...see you."

"Bye," Gwen said as she nervously walked away.

I smirked as I saw Merlin was still watching Gwen walk away. Oh this is going to be good. I skipped up to Merlin and tapped on his shoulder. He jumped and turned to see it was me who tapped him.

"I saw that," I said to him.

Merlin looked at me confused as he asked, "Saw what?"

I looked around as I said all innocently, "Oh just Gwen giving you the flower and you accepted it."

Merlin scoffed as he picked up the wheelbarrow and started to push it and followed Gaius.

"It was nothing," he insisted.

I walked up to him and asked with a smile on my face, "Are you so sure about that? Because I can tell that you so do like her."

Merlin glared at me and hissed, "We're just friend Samantha."

"Yeah, sure, whatever you say Merlin."

I walked passed Merlin as I heard him call out, "I'm serious, there is nothing going on between me and Gwen."

I looked back and yelled out, "Believe what you want bro. I just know that you have a crush for Morgana's maid whose name is Gwen."

"SAMANTHA!"

I laughed to myself as I thought, I am so going to enjoy tease him.

And there you have it! Don't forget to vote on the poll and to review. Remember, if you can't review because it said you already reviewed the chap, and then just review as a guest. Until next time.
