Merlin’s POV

I sat down to eat some food with Jake. I couldn’t help but hate the fact that I don’t even know who I am or what I am doing here. Am I on the run? Did someone just dump me here? Why has my memory pretty much gone or the important stuff anyway.

I hate feeling like this, knowing nothing about who you are or what your life holds. I don’t know if people are missing me or not. I want my memory to become clearer so I don’t have to keep having this feeling as I hate it.

“Merlin you alright?” asked Jake.

“I’ve been better,” I said to him.

“Your annoyed about your memory aren’t you?” he asked.

“Pretty much but wouldn’t you be too,” I said to him.

“Yeah probably I am sorry Merlin but I will be right here helping you to get it back,” he smiled at me as we finished off our food.

“I know you will,” I said eating my last bit of soup before we both got up to go clean the bowls in the lake. We got out side and washed the bowls. I gave mine to Jake after and as I went to go back inside I felt suddenly dizzy.

Memory

I ran up the stairs with a little boy holding my hand with a blue cloak on and into the corridor. As I heard sounds of guards shouting heading our way I had to think fast. I ran back a bit and dived up the stairwell with the boy before reaching the top and running into Morgana’s room slamming the door behind me.

“Have you forgot how to knock Merlin?” said Morgana loudly with a cup in her hand and Gwen standing the other side of the table.

“The guards are after him I didn’t know what to do,” I said keeping the young boy close to me.

“My lady,” said a guard as he banged on the door and then repeated again.

“In there,” she pointed. I ran over to the corner with the boy and we hid behind the red curtain.

“We are sorry to disturb you my lady,” said the guard as the boy collapsed and I caught him in my arms. “We are searching for the druid boy we believe he came this way,” the guard continued.

“I haven’t seen anyone. It’s just me and my maid,” said Morgana.

“Best to keep the door locked until we find him,” he said.

“Of course, thank you,” said Morgana before she slammed the door as the guard walked away. I looked down at the boy concerned as Morgana and Gwen rushed over. I pulled my hand away from the boys shoulder to see blood.

“Merlin come back to me!” shouted Jake. I began to feel weird and began to choke and opened my eyes to cough up water.

“Oh Merlin you scared me for a second,” said Jake as he helped me to sit up.

“What happened?” I asked confused.

“You fell into the lake and you nearly drown. I thought I had lost you for a second,” he said to me.

“I’m sorry,” I said.

“Don’t say sorry and come let’s get you out of this wet clothes and into something dry before you catch a cold,” said Jake. He helped me to my feet and we headed over to get some clothes. Jake held onto me as I didn’t feel very steady at the moment.

“Jake I saw another memory,” I whispered as he helped me out of my wet clothes.

“Tell me later Merlin,” he said softly to me.

Arthur’s POV

I woke suddenly from my sleep gasping for air. Mordred rushed over. “Sire what is wrong?” he asked me.

“Nothing is wrong,” I snapped. He looked at me weirdly.

“I’m sorry Mordred but I’m just a bit stressed out at the moment,” I said sitting up in bed. The truth is half of it is Mordred’s fault but I wasn’t going to tell him that. I just had another dream about Merlin. This is starting to become a habit and it’s not very helpful when I don’t even know why I dream about a guy I don’t know.

I don’t know Merlin but at the same time in my dreams it says otherwise. I mean we don’t seem like best friends but at the same time we do just in a slightly different way. Maybe a love hate relationship I couldn’t be sure. Either way I don’t like the fact that I dream about him. Is he just like a person I made up in my head as I got no one else to really be close too?

I really don’t know. I have no clue. It even sort of scares me at times too. Merlin, who are you?

“Sire,” said Mordred.

“Yeah sorry what did you say?” I asked him as I finally got out of bed.

“I said its an important day today,” he said.

“Why?” I asked.

“Lady Helen is coming,” he smiled.

“I’ve never heard of her.”

“I better let you know who she is then and fast,” laughed Mordred.

“I suppose you better.”

Lady Helen’s POV

“Do I have to?” I asked my father. Well he isn’t really my father he adopted me into his family and I’m next in line for the throne now in Starlight.

“Yes Helen you do. We are going to Camelot if you like it not. You can reunite our lands and marry Arthur,” he said to me.

“I hate this,” I said to him.

“You know it’s for the best sweetie,” he said. I nodded my head not in the mood to moan. I could hardly care about this right now I care more about this mystery guy. Someone I feel like I know but not as a lover more like a brother. I only know his face and name. Merlin but I have no idea why.

Why is he so important to me? Why is something telling me I need to remember why. It feels like if I don’t something terrible is going to happen but why? This doesn’t make any sense what so ever. I hate this.

Morgana’s POV

How could this happen!” I shouted.

“Calm down sister. This isn’t bad news. He has a son too. Mordred can mess around with Arthur and Helen to make sure they don’t get on as we know Arthur will not marry someone he doesn’t love and you can marry the son. This could reunite the lands and if that happens then you will be more likely to become queen,” said Morgause.

“You really believe that would work?” I asked her.

“O f course it will sister but only if you marry the son. It’s up to you,” she said to me.

“I will do anything to get the crown,” I said.

“Good.”

“We must tell Mordred,” said Morgause.

“Indeed we do,” I laughed.
