A Warrior's Heart ( A Merlin fanfiction )

Lancelot and I chatted while standing in one of the castle turrets, laughing and giggling. I was still wondering how Merlin brought Lancelot back. But I'm glad he did.

I missed him - like...98%? The 2% is probably not really because I'd be big trouble if Leon finds out. But Arthur and Gwen already approved, and I trust their opinions.

"I just wanted to know how Merlin brought you back." I finally said. I'm a curious person. Hey, I needed to know. He said something about magic and miracle?

He stayed quiet for a while. That's when I realised that Merlin has magical powers! How else would Lancelot be back without Merlin's such abilities?

"He has magic," I breathed.

"No, no, it's not what you think." Lancelot protested.

I frowned, "Are you trying to lie to me? Because his secrets are safe with me. I won't tell anyone." I said. "I promise." I added, looking at him.

He lets out a sigh, "Yes. Merlin has powers. I will get in trouble if he knows that I told someone."

I laughed, "Like he can pack a punch. I promise I won't tell anyone." I told him. Because I am just like Merlin. I have powers. Leon married me. Both of us had Ava. I am not sure if Ava will have such powers.

"He can." He said seriously.

I rolled my eyes, "He can barely lift a sword. Ask Arthur that." I giggled when Lancelot shook his head and chuckled.

We were about to kiss when I heard a shocked voice that I knew belonged to Leon, "Lancelot? Aurora?"

Both of us turned, as surprised as he was to see an unexpected visitor up in the castle turrets, because it is usually so private. I could tell he was exasperated because he is in training and he saw us as well.

"Aurora? What are you doing with him?" Leon demanded.

"Uhm, nothi-" I let out a sigh. "Please, Leon. Can I please like..spent time with others without you huffing about caring who I am with?" I practically begged.

"Aurora, you are my wife and-"

That's when Lancelot shouted, "What? Wife?"

"Yes, wife. We are married." Leon shot back.

Lancelot shot a glare at me. "I can't believe it."

"Then don't. Leave her alone."

I was so shook these two men were argueing because of me. I'm afraid they would use swords and I'm already bugged out by their raised voices.

"Enough!" I shouted.

The whole castle would practically hear my raised voice. Thunder boomed overhead, Lancelot is furious and I could feel it. I could see his clenched fists.

Without another word, Lancelot burst past the both of us and left.

I shot Leon a fierce glance since I could not take it even anymore, "I can't believe this. Did Ava tell you? I saw her and Gwen by the jousting pitch during my training today." I clenched my teeth, "This is probably the reason why I don't want to marry. Actually, I love Lancelot."

With that I ran past him to follow Lancelot.

-

In the hallway, I was out of breath practically because I was chasing down Lancelot. It was just like chasing Ava when she was three, but he was speed-walking so fast I had to run.

"Lancelot! Please, wait! I didn't mean any of this." I shouted.

"You didn't tell me you were married to Sir Leon." He called over his shoulder, his voice sounded hurt and somewhat angry.

"Uther forced me to marry him! It's not even me who wanted to! I did not choose this to happen!" I shouted. I almost crashed into him when he stopped abruptly and turned on his heel.

"I thought we would have our own lives together. Instead you went with him!" He said, slamming me hard against the wall.

"I thought you are his friend!" I exclaimed.

"He was." He said before leaving.

I hoped he is not leaving Camelot. But I knew the way he was going. To Merlin's quarters. So I guess not.

I slid farther down my back. "I didn't choose this life at all..." I muttered softly to myself, and sobbing quietly. I heard one timid voice, Ava's, call out to me, "Mom? Are you alright?"

I wiped my tears away, pretending nothing happened. But it did. I stood up straightly, and let out a sigh. "No. No I'm not."
