Merlin's was busily cleaning in Arthur's room when a knock came at the door, setting down the brush he was using to clean he moved to answer it.

The lady Vivian stood before him her Bright Smile dropping slightly when she saw him.

"I wish to see Arthur." she told him. "Your Master. My Lord."

"Your what?" Merlin barely managed to get out, stunned.

This could not be happening! The Lady Vivian could not be his soulmate.

"My heart's Delight." she said as she entered the room bumping into him as she went and bringing him back to the moment.

"Oh no." he quickly darted after her. It appeared that not only was Lady Vivian his soulmate, it would seem she was also under a love spell.

"Where is he?" she asked.

"He's not here." he told her as he moved to block her path. "Which is a very good thing I believe."

"Then I shall wait." she told him as she again moved past him.

"I don't think that's a good idea." he told her and she turned back to look at him. It was then that his brain registered she was only wearing her nightgown and he looked away before looking at her again. "You're not even dressed."

"My love does not care what I wear." she told him looking down at the red rose in her hand. "Only that I am near."

Merlin tried to ignore how much that stung. After all, what did he care. She was rude and clearly a spoiled brat and on top of that he had more important things to worry about.

"Now fetch him." she demanded.

"I cannot." he said wondering how to get her to leave.

"You will." she was practically glaring at him now.

"Shan't." he told her stubbornly.

"As he commands you, I command you." she insisted.

"I am asking you to leave." he clasped his hands pleading.

"I want my love." she said turning away, seemingly having forgotten he was there. "I need my love. I want to see him now." Merlin stepped forward slightly as she climbed onto Arthur's bed and began smelling one of the pillows and then burying her face in the blankets, giggling.

He watched her unsure of what to do. Caught between how he was going to have to make Arthur's bed again and how this was not how he imagined meeting his soulmate who was clearly unaware of the fact due to the love spell. He moved to stand next to the bed as she laid back and proceeded to arrange her nightgown around her as she waited for Arthur.

He heard an angry shout in the distance.

"What's that?" he asked out loud as he rushed for the door.

Looking out he saw Arthur approaching.

"Oh no." he said and then footsteps coming from the other side drew his attention and he turned to see King Olaf storming down the hallway. "Oh no!"

Could this get any worse he thought as he rushed back into the room hurriedly closing the door behind him.

"Okay!" he informed her. "You need to go!"

"You cannot keep us apart. It's written in the stars." she insisted. A love for all time. A love stronger than time. A love-"

Merlin cut her off by using a sleeping spell on her, he only had the time to shove her into Arthur's cabinet before Arthur entered and King Olaf was not far behind him.

After a search that turned up nothing due to the fact that Merlin locked the cabinet with a bit of magic keeping Trickler from finding her.

As soon as King Olaf had apologized and left and Arthur had stepped behind the changing screen, he was saying something but as Merlin was focused on lifting the Lady Vivian out of the cabinet and out through the servants door he didn't really hear what it was about.

He had to get her back to her room before her father's guards checked on her and he was grateful she was light and he was soon laying her down on her bed and arranging her hair slightly before darting out of the room.

Soulmate or not he was still sure King Olaf would have his head if he were caught in there.
