Chapter 12 ~ Demons

Regina's POV

"You're..."

"Yes, it's me." He says a soft smile covering his lips. "Been a few years, not that I could remember them all to be honest. Been kind of preoccupied, you know, with being in this cell and all."

"I'm confused, who are you?" Emma asks cocking an eyebrow in confusion.

"Oh, pardon my manners; The name's Merlin." He says holding his hand out for Emma to take.

"You! You're Merlin?" Emma asks her eyes wide.

"At your service miss Swan." He replies smirking at her shocked face. "Ah my apologies again, I can see the future. That's how I knew you'd be here."

"Hold on a second!" Regina yells out making everyone turn toward her with shocked eyes. "Are you telling me that the young man I met when I was a child was you?"

"Yup, guilty as charged." He says nodding his head. "Oh sorry about the whole, you know, using your DNA to make a baby thing; but it turned out alright in the end."

"There is no way (Name) comes from your DNA." Regina states making Merlin place his hand over his chest as if to look wounded.

"Wow that hurts my feelings," He says pushing his bottom lip out into a pout.

"Okay, I don't know how much more I can take of this. Are you ready to get out of here?"

"OH yes please, it's awfully dark and dank. Not exactly the four seasons. Plus I'm sure (Name) is getting pretty tired by now." He says hold his wrist out for Regina to remove his brand.

READER'S POV

As your body slams into the solid stone wall behind you, you cough making blood escape your mouth and land on the floor in front of you. Pushing yourself to your feet your legs shake uncontrollably as you suddenly start to feel weak. Fighting a witch who was centuries old was hardly easy, especially after you felt every single brand be broken from her control. Apparently She had felt it too cause she had suddenly went into berserker mode.

"If you can get close to me and remove this brand I can help you." Elliott says into your mind making you nod slowly in response. You could use a dragon's help. Taking a deep breath you create a lighting orb and with a quick flick of your wrist send it flying straight into the old ladies chest sending her flying backwards. Using her fall as an opening you rush over and placing your hand on Elliott's brand feel the warmth emanate from it as it slowly melts away leaving nothing but beautiful onyx scales.

"What have you done you insolent brat!" Gothel yells making your head snap toward her as she sends a ball of fire at you. Before it is able to hit you, Elliott drops his wing in front of you shielding you.

"You will never harm another human being!" Elliott roars making the castle shake.

"You can't kill me Elliott, you're still in love with me." Gothel replies smirking at him.

"You're wrong Gothel, I used to love you; but you killed that love the day you killed my mate and tried to kill my child. I will roast you alive until there is nothing else left." He slowly turns toward you and says, "Move child, once this battle starts I will not be able to protect you from myself."

"Okay yeah, I'm just gonna-" You say as you hurriedly make your way from the courtyard down the stairs toward the dungeons. "God how many stairs are there?" You exclaim until you finally make it to the bottom only to feel something wrap around your wrist and bite down hard causing you to scream out in agony. Looking down you see a three headed snake coiled around your wrist; its scared rage filled eyes stared back at your own as its venom starts to course through your veins.
