Arthur's Return (Merlin BBC)

Chapter XIV.

“Merlin, let’s go, and you-” Arthur looked at the girl.

“You’re coming with us” he said.

Soon we were back in Camelot. I think the people were shocked when they saw a girl tied on Arthur’s horse. I felt sorry about her, but she wanted it that way. The knights also had a shocked expression on their faces. And then I saw Mordred rushing throw all the knights to get a closer look.

His eyes were full of tears and pain. I wanted to start to cry cause he was hurting me with that, but I needed to be focused, as a Knight should be. Wait, what? You might think.

When I was with Arthur “crying my soul out”, he told me that I could become a knight one day, he just needs to see how "brave and loyal"I am. My thoughts were interrupt by Mordreds sad blue eyes looking straight at me.  I heard his voice calling me and asking

“How could you do that, Emma?”

I shook my head and went into the castle. The girl was taken to the dungeons.

“Arthur, what do you want from her? She was just trying to defend herself, I’m sure she won’t do that ever again.” Merlin was trying to turn the whole plot around which was fateful for Arthur.

“She needs to confess her sin first, and then I’ll see…” he said and went to his chambers.

“Merlin what do we do now? Everything is the same again, nothing changed!” I said panicky.

He shook his head “Maybe we need to wait more… I really don’t know…”he said and walked away.

  I walked down the hallway when suddenly a hand pulled me. Again. But  this time  it wasn’t Merlin, it was…Mordred.

“Why?” he asked.

“I didn’t do it!” I said looking straight into his eyes.

“Did you do it because you hate me?” he asked stepping closer.

“No. I don’t hate you. I don’t hate you at all, I only hate the destiny you have.” He then took a step back.

“What do you know about my destiny?”

“Because I…” I tried to say it but then Leon and Gwaine came around the corner.

“What's going on?“ Gwaine asked.

We both looked at them.

„What's this about?“ Leon said. „Nothing.“ Mordred walked between Gwaine and Leon, bumping Leon's shoulder. I looked down at my dress. “Emma?” Gwaine asked. “Nothing.” I said walking off. But then I felt a pain in my head. It hurt so bad that I fell on the floor.

The two knights rushed to get me back on my feet, but I passed out by that time. I had a dream/vision but I think it was more liike a moment from the past. I  saw Merlin and Mordred at the same spot where Mordred and I stood a few minutes before and the same conversation was going on.

“Nothing.” Merlin said and walked away.

And at that point I woke up.

“Merlin!” I shouted when I awoke.

“Are you alright?” Gaius asked me.

“What? Where am I? Oh Gaius! What happened? Why am I here?”

“Shh… You’re too exhausted to talk now, just sleep…” He said giving me water.

“Thank you, Gaius. But no, I need to know what happened to me!” I said sitting up.
