Amelia's Story (BBC Merlin Story)

Chapter 8: The Mark of Nimueh

A/N: I felt like I should incorporate more other POVs into this.

——

Anne's POV

One morning Anne leaves her home carrying a bunch of flowers in her hands and walks to Gwen and her father's house as she and Gwen often met up with one another when walking to the Castle.

As she approaches, Gwen's father exits and gives her a nod and smile before walking off to the Blacksmiths to begin work. Gwen then appears at the door holding a similar bunch of flowers and greets Anne. They both proceed to head off to the Castle.

They are about to cross the Drawbridge when both Anne and Gwen notice Merlin and Gaius wheeling a cart over the Castle Drawbridge. Anne and Gwen approach them.

"What are you doing?" Gwen asks.

"Er... just moving something." Merlin awkwardly says.

"Looks heavy," Anne says trying to lean around Merlin to try and see what is on the cart. Gaius just stands on the other side of the cart waiting for them to finish talking.

"Earm, it's nothing really. Erm... did someone get the two of you flowers?" Merlin says, diverting the conversation, which causes Anne to frown. Something is going on here.

"Oh! No." Gwen giggles. Anne gives her a slight smirk, forgetting her suspicions momentarily.

"We picked them ourselves," Anne says. "Would you like one?"

"A purple one." Gwen decides, handing Merlin one of the flowers but then began to ramble, "Purple suits you. Not that I'm saying red doesn't suit you." She flushes red.

"Thanks. Well, er..." Merlin puts the flower in his scarf. Gwen smiles.

"Er... see you," Merlin says turning away from the two girls and begins to push the cart again.

"Bye," Gwen says wistfully. Anne narrows her eyes at Gaius and Merlin's retreating figures. Something definitely is going on.

Amelia's POV

Amelia is sitting in Morgana's Chambers, talking, when Gwen and Anne enter with a bunch of flowers each. She is not surprised to see Anne as it makes sense that Anne would also walk into Morgana's rooms as both her and Morgana are often found together in either one of their Chambers.

Morgana stands up from where they are sitting to walk over to them smiling and says, "You two look happy."

"We picked these for the two of you," Gwen says holding out the flowers in her hands.

"Oh, that's so sweet," Morgana says taking the flowers from Gwen's hands while Amelia stands and takes her bunch from Anne's hands. "Thank you, Anne." She says in gratitude. Anne smiles.

"Something to cheer you up," Gwen says.

"We know the two of you are not sleeping well," Anne says.

"You two cheer us up," Morgana says.

"We do not know what we would do without you." Amelia compliments.

"Would you like us to put them in water for you?" Gwen asks. Morgana nods smiling.

As they do this Amelia turns to them and asks, "How has your morning been?"

"Nothing interesting, though Merlin was being very secretive when we met him and Gaius at the Drawbridge earlier." Anne answers.

"Oh?" Amelia asks. Is this the beginning of another episode? Wasn't it something to do with Nimueh?

"They were pushing this cart with a blanket covering what was on it. I'm sure it is nothing." Gwen answers this time. Mmm...
