Merlin Story: Trapped out of time

Chapter 1

*** Bree P.O.V ***

“He did not just do that!” “He did, otherwise you wouldn’t be bleeding out on the ground now would you?” “Just help me up!” I frowned as Lucy laughed at me, I was determined to win. Currently we were playing Modern Warfare 3 on the Xbox in our apartment; it was against us the CPU’s. It was only a quick game before work but even so, losing was not an option. We were sitting on the sofa bed in our front room, my eyes glued to the screen. Watson trotted out of the bedroom, jumping up onto my lap happily. “Watson! No!” Again Lucy laughed as I died and the game was over. I petted Watson, kissing the top of his head. “You, are a very distracting puppy.” Lucy got up, putting on a high squeaky voice. “But you love me soo much!” We looked at each other before we burst out laughing. Watson barked at Lucy and this set me off again. “You’ve offended him, he doesn’t sound like that.” “I’m sorry Watson. Now, both of you get off my bed, I have to make it.” I got up off the sofa bed, putting Watson on the floor and walking over to the kitchen area. We shared an apartment, even though it only had one bedroom, as Lucy slept on the couch; refusing to ever swap places even for a night. “Alright, just hurry up; we’ve got to get to work.” “You can talk, you’re the one who wanted to play MW3!” “Whatever.” I was grinning as I place Watson’s bowl on the floor, filling it up with his food. I also place a bowl of water down next to it. Watson walked back over to the sofa, which had now been made back into a regular sofa, and jumped on it. He knew the food was for later, he was a very smart dog. I grabbed my bag and chucked my keys, phone, purse, I-Pod and camera into it before I turn to Lucy, who is putting her coat on. “Let’s go Loopy Lucy.” “As you say Bumble Bree.” I waved goodbye to Watson before we left the apartment, heading off to work. “So, what do you think we’ll be making today?” “Not sure, though I think Tom’s stopping by.” I smiled as Lucy’s eyes grew wider and she grinned. “Think he’ll bring Jeremy by this time?” I laughed, linking my arm with hers as we strolled down the Streets of London. Lucy had a minor obsession with Jeremy Renner who played Hawkeye in the Avengers Film, and she nearly died when we catered an after party for the Avengers Cast; which included making a special cake. That’s where I met Tom, a.k.a. Loki. We hit it off and become friends, both of us constantly teasing Lucy about her obsession. “I don’t know, I could ask Tom to bring him along?” “No! That’s just embarrassing. Never mind.” I shake my head, she wanted to meet him yet she wouldn’t allow me to ask Tom to invite him, she certainly was strange.

Tom did drop by, and I asked him to bring Jeremy along next time. I knew Lucy would kill me but she would also love me forever. It was nearing the end of the day and it hadn’t been that busy, only two wedding cakes and three birthday cakes. I hung my apron up on the door and grabbed my bag, yelling over my shoulder to Lucy. “Do you mind closing up?” “Not at all, I’ll meet you back at the apartment.” I walked out and began my journey home. Suddenly I felt very strange and I couldn’t move. A voice whispered strange words that made no sense. The world started to disappear around me and everything was black. Slowly, colours came back into focus and I could also hear voices. “Gaius? What is that?” “I don’t know Merlin, it looks like a person.” Everything became clear and I could see two people standing in front of me, both looking worried. The older one turned to the younger one, staggered. “Merlin! What have you done!” I turned to the younger one, Merlin, feeling both scared and excited. “Who are you and where am I?” “I’m Merlin, and you’re in Camelot.”
