My eyes slowly fluttered open as my wishes were quickly smothered in the spitefully warm sunlight streaming in through the crimson red curtains. I was definitely back in Camelot.

Red.

The curtains were red. Blood is red. Blood comes out of dead people. They're dead because I killed them. All of them. No, no ,no ,no, No! They're alive now it would be an insult to there life to think about their death. Yes, yes-yes, an insult, yes. I picked my shaking body up and dragged it towards the window. There standing as if he were paralyzed  was Merlin, his eyes fixed upon the window that I was staring out of. Minutes passed, The crowd of  Camelot  bustling around him completely unaware of the dazzling power that the unsuspecting serving boy held, it was like mistaking a priceless diamond for a shard of broken glass.

"Milady?"

I turned around to face a Gwen I had long forgotten: smiling, happy to see me, no fear in her eyes.

"It's great too see you again Gwen" I said pulling her into a hug - hugs are just an excuse to hide your face.

" I'll get Arthur he'll be pleased you're awake." Gwen turned to  go  but I grabbed her wrist  to stop her; I wasn't ready to face him and act like I didn't see his motionless corpse every time I closed my eyes.

"No!.. not yet, could you get Merlin? please don't ask why." Gwen smiled and nodded however I could see curiosity burning in her eyes

"It's not my place to ask questions." 

Oh Gwen, if only you knew what destiny has in store for you.

5 minutes  later  I found Merlin standing in my  doorway his eyes stained with similar pearls of saltwater to mine. He was the one to break the silence: 

"I'm sorry"

"What for? I am the one with blood on my hands. I'm the monster! You could kill me right here, right now and I'd LET YOU!"

" I had no right not to lie to you, to make you believe you were alone and-"

"You had every right."

He seemed shocked at this. He opened his mouth to say something and then closed it again. The gap between us was disappearing second by second: now there was only millimetres between our lips.

"I-I have to go.." he stuttered leaving me standing there, frozen and thoroughly confused.
