A Hunting Trip

Pendragon

Morgana stood, waiting. She was there for hours. As the sun sank from the sky, she turned to head home, but she was stopped in her tracks. A sword was pinned on her back. She turned her head to see the face she recognised all too well. The person who was her key to success. She had feared him, but now it was Camelot that would fear them.
"Hello, Morgana."
"Glad to see you join me. Where were you?"
"In Camelot. They took me there, I don't know why..." Merlin didn't yield the sword, tip digging into the black dress.
"Merlin, could you take down your sword?"
"No."
"Why? We're working together now!"
"But, you're still a Pendragon, and I HATE Pendragons." Morgana was shocked, her grasp of the spell must be too tight!
"I want my brother gone, more than anything."
"Yet you still caused me pain, even if you try to push it away."
"But we were enemies! I'm sorry, Merlin."
"Yeah, you sure?" Morgana was trying her hardest to counteract the spell non-verbally, but it wasn't working!
"SPELL!" Merlin fell back, head throbbing. The spell weakens in his mind, letting his thoughts override Morgana's, but Merlin fights it back.
"Morgana Pendragon, why do you fight?"
"Because this isn't right! We're meant to be on the same side!"
"Well, seems you were wrong, yet again. You of all people should know that you can't change fate."
"You can't kill me! I'm a high priestess, remember?"
"Yes, but you don't remember Arthur's sword, Excalibur!" Merlin swings the sword at the unsuspecting Morgana, hitting her right in the stomach. Blood starts to spill and she falls to her knees. She looks up at her killer, the glint in his eyes scaring even her.
"Please..." she grasps her side, where the blood stains her black dress an even darker colour.
"No, Morgana, if you're gone, it will make my path to him that much easier! Trickery is your best feature, I was sure you'd understand. Enjoy the afterlife... my lady." He turns on his heel and leaves Morgana in the forest, clutching her side.
"Merlin!" she calls out, but it is merely a whisper as she collapses, dead.
