Love at First Fight

The Meeting Part 2

~~~~Contained~~~~

 "Gaius!" I threw open the door with tears streaming down my face. "Yes?" "Have you figured what's wrong with the necklace?" He shook his head no. "No, nothing. Anything you wanna talk about?" At that question I burst into full blown tears. "I was just made a maid for Arthur!" I was by now balling my eyes out. I didn't see Merlin walk in so he startled me when  he spoke. "Willow are you okay?" I shrugged. "I'm Arthur's maid but I should be okay. You can call me Nyx if you want. It's my middle name." Arthur burst in. "Willow I need my armour polished." I got up. "Yes, sire." With that I followed him out and to his room. He showed me his armour and I got to work on it. He sat at his desk doing some work.
 I had zoned out about halfway through his armour and started to hum. Later it turned into soft singing. "You know Willow." I jumped a little for I had got scared. "You can sing really beautifully. It's lovely." I mumbled a quiet thank you while blushing. I had finished polishing the armour about an hour later. I told Arthur I was done and left. "Hello Gwen!" She smiled and said hello back. "Hello Willow! How was your day?" I laughed a bit. "It was okay. I'm Arthur's maid." She giggled. "I heard you singing when I walked past. What did Arthur say about it?" I blushed. "He said I could sing quite lovely." She wiggled her eyebrow and walked into Morgana's room. "Oh stop it Gwen!"
Night Time
 "Guais can you show me to the baths?" He nodded and walked me there. I gave him a small hug and a thank you. I had walked in and shut the door, starting the bath. When I got in I muttered a spell to make this levitate and do as I say.
Arthur's pov
 I was walking past the baths to grab something. I opened the door and seen Willow. I seen the rag floating and washing her back. I shut the door and started walking to my father, Uther, to tell
Willow's pov
 I got out of the bath, dried off and got dressed. I walked back to Gaius' place. "Hello Arthur. Why do you have guards with you?" The two with him grabbed an arm each and started dragging me away. I looked up at Gaius, Merlin and lastly, Arthur. His face was stern but his eyes held sorrow and worry. I was drug in front of the king and thrown to the floor. He had such a mean but mad look on his face. "You are a sorceress? Do not lie to me." I nodded looking down. "Yes, sire. I do in fact use magic." He look more than furious. "Throw her in the dungeons. She is to be burned tomorrow afternoon." I didn't refuse and turned to the guards with my arms out. They grabbed an arm and drug me away again.
Next day
 I didn't eat any of the food they gave me, for I am to be burned. Noon came around and the guards grabbed me and took me out. They tied me to a post in the wood. I had started to hum while looking around. Merlin stood with Gaius in the front. Arthur had stood with his father and Morgana. Uther started speaking, informing everyone that I am a witch. That I am to be burned for it. They had lit the wood on the left when Uther said so. The flames already burning up my left leg.
 Merlin started to yell and tried to get to me. I just smiled at him. "It's okay Merlin. I'll be fine." By this point my entire left leg was covered in flames. The pain was to much for me to handle so I started to blackout. That's when Merlin got out of Gaius' hold and ran to me. Arthur and Morgana followed to help Merlin get me out. I felt someone pick me up and smack my cheek. "Willow? Willow!?" That voice was Arthur. He seems really worried. I cracked my eyes open the best I could with a smile. "I'll be fine." Arthur and Morgana shared a look and I passed out.
Merlin's pov
 "She will be okay? Right Gaius?" He said that she would be while he was tending to her leg. After he finished I sat next to her and tended to her the rest of the night. "Just like you said Nyx, you will be fine." The next morning she had started to stir. "Ow, my leg." I yelled for Gaius and hugged her. "Oh! You scared me!" She said in a slight whisper.
Willow's POV
  I had sat up and tried to stand when Gaius came and pushed me down. "Stay in bed. Willow you must heal properly." I scowled and then smirked. When he turned around his back I ran, well more like limped out the door. I walked into Morgana's room and heard them talking. "Gwen do you think she's okay?" I smiled. "I would say so." They both ran and hugged me. "Lady Morgana, the King wishes to see you. Miss Willow as well." I nodded and started walking with Morgana to the king. When I arrived I bowed and started to apologize. "King Uther I'm sorry. It was not my intention to survive. If you wish to behead me, you may." He chuckled a little. "You may live. They all have taken a liking to you. If I let you live you are to work and stay in the castle." I bowed while happily saying thank you. I then excused myself and ran to tell Gaius and Merlin the news. On my way I stopped and chanted a small spell. That spell was to wipe that I had magic from everyone's mind. No one would know, no one will remember. I started on my way again with one thought in my head. 'These last few days have been really weird.'
