“Wow, cool place.” Angela pointed out as she took a seat on the bed while she let her eyes wander around the room.

Elektra smiled, turning her head to Angela as she slipped on her gloves. “Thanks. Dad built it.”

She saw Angela face dropped at the mention of her dad. “Sorry about your dad. I should have been here earlier.” She admitted guiltily.

Elektra shook her head as she grabbed her sword and slipped it into her sheath. She made her way to Angela before taking a seat next to her. “It’s not your fault. It just happened and we couldn’t stop it.”

“Do you think he’s still alive?” Angela asked.

Elektra shrugged as she gave her a sad smile. “I don’t really know. I don’t want to keep my hopes up and stuff...but I do wish he’s still alive.”

Smiling at her, Angela gave her a pat on the shoulder. “Let us hope so.”

“Ela.” Henry’s voice was heard.

 They both turned to find a very confused looking Henry, standing a few feet from them. “We have company.” He stated with a frown.

Elektra and Angela both stood up, as Henry got closer to them. “Angela, this is Henry Butler, my friend and partner...” She introduced with a smile. “And Henry, this is Angela Colin, Merlin’s descendant, a.k.a my literature teacher.”

With an expressionless face, he shook her hand. “I see, you’re a-”

“A sorceress. Yup, that’s me.” Angela replied quickly, her eyes set on his.

“Yes...” Henry stared at her with a frown on his face before he released her hand and turned to Elektra. “Can I talk to you for a second?” He asked. “Alone.” He added with a look in his eyes telling her that she couldn’t argue with it.

Nodding, she gave Angela an apologetic smile before letting Henry pull her away to the end of the room, far away from the sorceress.

“What’s wrong?” Elektra asked.

“Why is she here?”

“To work with us. She’s Merlin’s descendant. She can help us.” She said as she started to tell Henry how she met Angela and who she was. How she could help her to defeat Magnus and how she had helped her with the Berserker.

She saw how Henry looked confused and somehow unhappy as she told him the story.

Letting out a sigh as she finished explaining, he frowned. “I don’t trust her.”

Shock filled Elektra. “Why?”

“How can you trust her, Elektra?” Henry mused. “We don’t know her. We barely know her. She just popped out of nowhere, claiming that she’s Merlin’s heir. How do we actually know? Maybe, she’s just an ordinary witch or maybe she could even be Morgana’s heir herself! We don’t know, Ela.”

Elektra stood there speechless. She didn’t know what to do nor what to say. What Henry said was right. They didn’t know her. Angela suddenly came here, telling her that she was Merlin’s heir but they didn’t have proof of it at all. So, what made her trust Angela? She did not really know. All she could say that she felt connected with Angela and she had a huge feeling in her gut telling her that she could trust Angela.
