Merlin’s POV

“Merlin how are you feeling now?” asked Jake.

“A lot better but I’m concerned,” I said to him.

“About these memories and I don’t blame you either. I’m worried too as you pass out and I can’t be around you twenty four seven. If I leave you for too long and you pass out..you get be badly hurt or die like you could have done in that lake,” he said to me.

“Why do you care about me?” I asked him.

He looked at me before he sat down beside me as I kept the blanket over me to keep myself warm.

“When I saw you I knew you needed my help and I just feel like I need to help you and I can’t help but care. I haven’t had a point for many years but you seem to give me a point back into my life. I want to help you, Merlin because for some reason I know you need me right now,” he said softly to me.

“Thank you for everything. It means a lot that someone cares,” I said.

“You get some more rest. We’ll figure this all out in due time,” said Jake as he stood up as I laid back down and closed my eyes drifting back off to sleep quite quickly.

Arthur’s POV

I have no connection with Helen. I wish I did but I can’t feel anything there at all. I do find myself looking over at Gwen a lot though. I’m not sure why though. Maybe Morgana was right about keeping her away from me. I tried to concentrate on talking to Helen but my mind kept slipping away.

“Arthur do you mind if I could be excused?” Helen asked me.

“No not at all. Would you like if I took you to your chamber?” I asked her.

“That would mean a lot,” smiled Helen. We both got up and I led her out the council chamber and towards the quest chambers she is staying in.

“Is something bothering you?” Helen asked me. I looked at her and sighed.

“To be honest I don’t want this,” I said telling her the truth.

“You are here to please your father?” she asked me.

“Yeah how do you know?” I asked her as we reached outside her chamber.

“Its the same with my father. I don’t want to come across as horrible or anything but I don’t feel anything here between us but I still want to give it a go. Our feelings could develop,” she said to me.

“I agree with you. Maybe we can go for a ride tomorrow away from Camelot and everyone just me and you maybe?” I asked her.

“I would love that Arthur,” she smiled to me.

“Good night Helen and see you tomorrow. I’ll get my servant to come fetch you,” I said before I kissed her on the cheek and left down the corridor and to my chambers.

Morgana’s POV

“How come every time we are close something else happens? Why is it even without him... it’s taken just as long or more probably,” I said angrily

“Sister calm down and think about this. He likes you. It’s only a matter of time until the throne is yours and no one is going to be able to stop you, no one,” sneered Morgause.

“I do hope you are right about this. I’ve had enough of waiting the throne will be mine. Mordred you better get to Arthur. Let us know how it goes and what he and Helen got up to once they left the feast,” I said to him. Mordred nodded to me before he left my chamber.

My sister Morgause brought me into a hug. “I know it seems like it’s taken a long time but remember it will all be worth it soon.”
