Keeping Molly locked up in a  dark, dingy and damp room, Morgana's laugh echoed through the tower.

"Why does Arthur love you so much, he will do anything for you." Morgana ask Molly.

"It's called love Morgana, something you wouldn't know much about seeing as you have a black heart1" Molly spat.

Morgana laughed.

"My brother is such a fool marrying you!" She snarled.

"If I was such a fool Morgana then I would of left you in charge of Camelot!" A deep, harsh voice spoke from behind her.

Molly smiled as she saw Arthur with a sword held to Morgana's back.

"My lady!" Leon and Gwaine shouted as they ran to Molly.

"Get her out of here." Arthur ordered as his knights took Molly.

"No, I am not leaving him." Molly insisted.

"Molls, I will be okay just go please for me. I will be safe." Arthur looked at his wife and cuddled her as Morgana smirked.

"Arthur I will not leave you here alone with her!" Molly stubbornly spoke.

Arthur kissed her as a promise that he will return.

"I promise my love I will return now go ride back to Camelot take my horse." He took one last look at his wife as he and Gwaine where lead in to the other room.

Molly looked as she left with Leon and Merlin.

"Well isn't it nice to see you again Arthur Pendragon." A male voice spoke.

"Cenred?" He questioned.

"Yes, the one that was after your lovely lady." He teased as he looked straight at Arthur.

Morgana came in and spat at Gwaine.

"So loyal, so noble." She mocked.

"How is is Molly these days?" Cenred asked.

"She's queen now and she is with child I believe." Morgana told him.

"So what if the queen is with child." Gwaine spat.

"Oh look who the feisty one is." Morgana laughed as Cenred approached Arthur.

"What do you want Cenred." Arthur rudely spoke.

"I want my Molly back." He answered.

"Your Molly ?? I am pretty sure her last name is Pendragon so she is my wife." Arthur smirked.

Cenred fumed as Gwaine looked at Arthur.

"You know nothing Pendragon!" He shouted.

"Oh, I believe I do." Arthur spoke scarcasticly.

Cenred scoffed.

"When Molly was sixteen her father wanted her to marry, I guess her father wanted her to marry you." Arthur raised an eyebrow.

Cenred punched Arthur out of anger.

"How dare you punch the king!"  Gwaine lunged for Cenred.

Morgana pulled Gwaine back with magic, as Gwane landed on the floor with a bang.

"Put them in the cell. While I go out on a hunt.." Cenred  smiled.

As Cenred's men threw Arthur and Gwaine in the cell.

"God sake!" Gwaine muttered.

Arthur thought about Molly.

"She's going to be okay sire, she is a tough girl." Gwaine assured him.

"Thank you Gwaine but no wonder Molly wanted to escape her kingdom,after her mum got killed." Arthur looked out the window.

"Psst." A female voice spoke.

Arthur and Gwaine looked round.

"Boys." The voice spoke again.

"Whose there!" Arthur looked round.

"Arthur....."

Gwaine looked confused as they both heard a girl sing.

"A voice of an angel." Gwaine smiled.

"Molly. She is the only girl I know that can sing like that." Arthur whispered.

"Arthur....." The girl whispered.

"Molly......" He spoke.

"Sire." Gwaine spoke and pointed.

Arthur looked and saw Molly.

"What you doing here I told you go back to Camelot." He smiled at his wife.

"I couldn't let my husband or the father of my child die!" Molly whispered as she placed her hand through the bars.

"Could you use your magic to set us free?" Arthur whispered quietly.

"I've tried sweetie, this magic is beyond me." Molly looked at him with eyes full of sorrow.

Arthur looked at Molly and sat next to her .

"He has been pining for you Molls." Gwaine joked.

"Only I can call her Molls." Arthur looked at Gwaine.

"Sorry Gwaine but Arthur can only call me that." She looked at Gwaine.

"Sorry Molly." He smiled.

"It's fine, but it is true Arthur you have been pining." Molly teased Arthur slightly.

Arthur nodded slightly.

"Awwww." Molly placed her hand in his.

Arthur smiled.

"Brrrrr, it is really cold down here."Molly shivered.

"Here take this." Arthur handed her his cape.

"No you need it, I don't want you freezing because of me." Molly pushed his hand back.

"I don't want you catching a cold either so here." Arthur stubbornly pushed his cape through the bars.

Molly used the cape as a blanket as she heard Cenred.

"If Cenred finds me here he will hurt me, I will come back." Molly kissed Arthur and hid in the darkness.

Arthur saw Cenred coming down the stairs, Gwaine ran to the bars.

"Mmmmmm can't find the beautiful Molly anywhere..... Any ideas?" Cenred spoke.

"The queen is safe out of your reach!" Arthur spat.
