Merlin's POV

I sighed looking at the perfect full moon stars winking me as if laughing at me. I stood and tacked another picture of a lovely woman I had seen standing outside the florists, I asked her out and she said I like Arthur more and laughed running off with her friends. I slumped onto my bed and listened to the gentle thrum of Jacks breathing beside me. I stood, restless. I strolled downstairs taking the winding staircase to the kitchen. I couldn't help but stop and look in the mirror as I walked my hair was slightly messy as usual and my pale skin shone slightly in the moon light. I forced myself on the sweet pasties on the counter were too irresistible to ignore so I nabbed one as I walked by taking a bite the pastry flaked away revealing a soft sweet inner, outside the old oak tree stood silent and true I whipped out an electricket and started practicing on the target perfect hit each time sparks flying lighting  up the pitch black night amazingly.  I heard a twig snap, I'm being watched!, I instinctively turned to the house the curtains were still drawn and the lights were off. I turned to the bushes to see someone running off "No!" I breathed and started chasing after them, wait is that a raven! "Oh" I said feeling stupid.


Roses POV 

The full moon shone in through the huge window of my palace. I was twiddling with some lightning between my fingers making it grow bigger or smaller with ease, "Dark Rose mistress of the night. Are you all right?" Asked Pablo my favourite butler "fine!" I snapped "uh no post?" I asked afterward "no Miss, I know how you must be feeling..." "yeah how!" I snapped cutting him off mid sentence. "Well it is the eve of yours and your sisters 18 birthday and you haven't been invited, that is why you have been continuously asking about the post." He responded calmly, "well  I don't care about goody two shoes Snow and her birthday ball." My lightning expanded immensely "or my dad who hated me because I looked like mother and he couldn't bare too look at me so sent me off to his spare castle all by myself." I yelled zapping the wall adding to the wall that was starting to look more like a piece of Swiss cheese not a black wall of stone. "Too much?" I asked wincing at how much I had opened up, " yes Miss, do stop zapping the wall,  your father did not waste his money on getting you a private magic teacher for you to destroy the wall." I sighed loudly, "can I have some time?" I asked "of course." Pablo bowed leaving the room through the giant door I strolled to the cupboard and pulled out a black velvet pillow then strolled back to my black throne and settled down to sleep, but sleep is not what my body wanted to do I tossed and turned until driven mad by sleeplessness I strolled to the huge 3D map of fairytale kingdom in the middle of the room and sat down plotting my next move too overthrow the seemingly unoverthrowable kingdom. I sat staring at the palace that Snow and I had played for hours in. My eyelids grew heavy. Then a crash a flapping of wings brought me back to the real world with a jolt "Rose! Rose!" I glared at the raven "sorry, Dark Rose!" "Yes Molly?" Molly morphed from raven to human in a second she stood in front of me, "big news!" She was breathing heavily obviously she'd been flying fast for a long distance. "Yes Molly?" "The fearless 7 I've found their hideout!" She huffed loudly.  "What? Where? Um never mind. On secoNd thought I'll send the gargoyles.  "You should do a huge ransom!" Molly yelled "that's great!" I  said she gathered me in a big hug. "I'll get the gargoyles to get them in the morning" I said pulling out of the hug awkwardly. I paced around for the rest of the night in excitement waiting to awake the gargoyles.


Merlins POV 

Morning had come and I hadn't slept all night Hans had made pancakes which I had pushed around the plate for an hour until Hans had snatched it away from me and sent me to pick some apples for his apple strudel, when I came back inside everyone was having lunch and discussing Arthur's attempt with Excalibur which was infuriating Arthur more than what was necessary when a thud on the roof made everything go black then I was in a sack pressed against what I thought was  Pino's hat but i couldn't be sure we stayed in the sack for about an hour until we were dropped on to what felt like marble floor then we all shuffled out of the sack. We were all chained together at the feet staring up at a huge black throne that twisted like shadows up to a tremendous height, we could here the sound of laughing I craned my neck to see higher and in the chair sat a young lady dressed all in black seemingly overwhelmed by excited laughter. "I've done the impossible I've found the hideout of the The wonderful F7!" She kept laughing. "Sorry she composed herself and was suddenly playing with lightning in between her fingers. It was rising and falling with her heart beat, "Let us go before we unleash all our power on you!" Yelled Arthur, "sure tied together you'll do heaps." She said, keeping her lightning steady, she obviously doesn't capture anyone important very often." Hans whispered in my general direction, "she's so happy."  He remarked "well I assume you know who I am." She remarked, followed by a tidal wave of head shakes from the gang. She Looked wounded, "you mean you don't recognise the name Dark Rose mistress of the night!" She stood zapping a whole in the wall which made us turn to the wall which was more like Arthur's socks than a wall, I counted at least 20 huge holes. "Never heard of you." I Said rudely She then turned and swept down the staircase. "Pablo line them up for interrogation!" She yelled clicking her long slender fingers, a very neat and organised butler strolled into the throne room, and started putting up wooden frames. He then dragged us one by one to the frames and tied both our hand and feet to the frame. I realised what was coming and started trying to wiggle out of the ropes and grab an electicket but I was too late, "so fearless 7 show me how fearless you are to my lightning!" She yelled. "Um Mistress of the night can we not kill the young men." Pablo asked politely "well how would you do it, they can never get in my way if they're dead." She complained "you could offer them some tea and talk it over." He suggested "no!"  She yelled "put those three in the dungeon and force them to make me a doomsday device of epic proportions." She ordered pointing at Pino, Noki and Kio "those two can do the cleaning." She waved a careless hand at at Jack and Arthur. "You are now my chef Hans and Merlin hmm," she thought for a second.

Roses POV

"You know what, your too sneaky I'm gonna have you where I can see you!" I pulled out one of my electickets and bent it into a several chains and replaced the old chains with my new ones
