(*_*) (*_*) (*_*) Chapter 8 (*_*) (*_*) (*_*)

"Arthur you have to go tell your father. We have to start evacuating the city. I'm going to get Gwen." Merlin spoke and Arthur knew that although he should be giving to orders – he was the prince and Merlin was the servant – he had no time to argue and he surprised himself by not wanting to, Merlin seemed to have complete control of the situation and he was happy and felt safer following his friends lead.

Camelot was running about madly. Merlin allowed Magic to fill him as he ran trying to wake everyone up, it surrounded him like a glowing second skin. He got to Gwen's room where she was already up.

"Gwen you have to leave"

"I'm not going anywhere Merlin." She argued with him trying not to think of how complete and good he looked full to the brim of magic and with gold eyes.

"You must" He replied sorrowfully, scared that if he let her out of his sight she would die on him, like so many others had done. "As soon as I show myself for who truly am, they will know that they can use you to hurt me. I need you to lead the children to safety. You must take them into the forest where we left the druid boy. I know they will not trust us but tell them that Emrys sent you and they will give you shelter. I have to know that you are safe. Gwen. Promise me"

Gwen looked into his eyes and promised.

"Thank you Gwen. If I ever see you again. I am going to give you the best wedding anyone could ever want." He got onto his knee "I know this isn't the most romantic of times but I need to know. Gwen will you marry me?" She squealed with delight "Yes. Merlin I shall."

"Good," he placed a ring made by Magic onto her finger "now go. Make sure you gather as many children as you can I shall instruct them to meet you by the dungeons. Make sure everyone knows to meet you by the dungeons. I love you."

He ran out stopping at groups of concerned parents to let them know what was going to happen. No one questioned him, not even when they heard who would be sheltering them.

He found himself in front of Morgana and Uther who were fighting. The King wanted her to leave and she wanted to stay and fight. He joined in.

"Sire" he nodded his head to the king "Morgana you must leave. I need you to stay with Gwen. She is taking the children to where we left Mordred. The druids will give you shelter just tell them that Emrys asked for it. You have no choice in the matter Morgana. You will leave and protect the children." He spoke in a softer voice when she started to object.

"I know that you can fight but I need you to help protect the children in case something happens to them and also," He smiled "Tom is really ugly you don't want to see him." She shocked him and Uther when she laughed and scowled at the same time.

"Fine where are we meeting?"

"By the dungeons. Make sure everybody knows this now go. You must all have left in about an hour if you want to be safe. Voldie will start sending people in after that. Now go" He ordered her and she followed.

"How?" Uther began

"Not now sire. I need you to stay safe as well. I will not ask you to go with them but I ask you to take your best knights and stay inside the castle. If anyone sends any green light at you must dodge because it WILL kill you. Tom has made you his target if I don't show up. I need to know that you are safe in case he goes back on his word and starts killing people anyway."
