Merlin FanFic

Hell Yeah!

She walked quickly, made sure that she escaped the castle without notice, and made her way to the woods. She was apprehensive as the last time she had been here, she and her sister made plans to destroy Camelot. The memories were coming back to haunt her. Morgana quickened her pace into the woods and kept on going. She reached her destination and stopped looking around the clearing, finding nothing. The night was disturbing her mood as she felt helpless and scared. She then suddenly heard branches snap behind her. Morgana spun around and saw nothing, but she felt fear rise through her body. She knew she shouldn't be scared as she had magic and could defend herself, but deep down, the fear was getting caught. Morgana turned to the sound of leaves rustling on the other side of her, so she turned around and saw nothing but darkness. She was debating whether or not to leave and go back to the safety of the castle when she felt strong arms wrap around her like a vice. Morgana panicked and used her magic to free her from her attacker. Morgana tried to slow her breathing, turned around slowly, and saw Gwaine lying on the floor, slightly dazed. She felt a small rush of anger and marched towards him before hitting him on the back of the head.
"Are you mad? You should never sneak up on someone like that, especially in the woods at night." Gwaine looked up at her. She felt all the anger melt away as she slid to the floor beside him. She rested a hand on his cheek and smiled. Morgana knew that she felt at peace when she was with Gwaine. He was her true love. Gwaine still felt dazed by the magic his love had used on him, but he could easily forget as he felt her soft, gentle hand brush against his cheek. He knew he would die for this woman, but he didn't know if that was good. Gwaine looked into her eyes, and he could tell that she had gotten over her anger and that she was herself again and compassionate. The thing that he had always admired. Slowly, he leaned in and pressed his lips to hers, and as soon as their lips touched, he felt the magic rush through his body, and he felt alive. Morgana felt the same thing as Gwaine; his lips touched hers, and she found that she couldn't get enough of him, so she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him back with fire that should have come from the great dragon. Gwaine wrapped his arms around Morgana, and soon they were into themselves, and both had never been so happy.

The strike paid off, as did the diversion. Arthur and his knights were fighting the beast when Leon struck it from behind, drawing blood. The beast roared and tried to turn around to face the attackers, but Arthur knew that this was the only chance that they had.
"Keep fighting." Arthur yelled as he struck another blow to the beast, turning it back to face the fight at hand. Leon stepped back and watched Percival's back as he stepped forward and filled the bottle with the beast's blood. Percival knew that the beast would soon turn around and attack, and he was scared as his sword was at his side, but his hands were full with the bottle. He knew Leon was behind him, watching the beast's every movement, ready to help when the beast turned around. He filled the bottle until it was complete and gladly moved out of the way with Leon. In time, the beast swung around and knocked down Arthur and the rest of the knights. Leon stepped forward, knowing he had to protect his king and fellow knights. Soon after, Percival had drawn his sword, and they attacked the beast while Arthur and his knights recovered from the blow. Arthur stumbled to his feet and watched for a moment as Leon and Percival carried on fighting.
"Did you get the blood?" Arthur shouted.
"Yes, sire! It is strapped to your horse!" Percival shouted, and Arthur nodded. He started to feel excited, knowing that he would be able to save Merlin.
"Retreat, men. " Arthur ordered. The knights gradually started to fall back, and the beast thought that it had won the fight and made its escape. It was wounded and needed time to heal. Arthur and the knights scanned the forest and ensured that the beast wouldn't attack for a while before racing to their horses and heading back towards Camelot with the antidote to save Merlin.    

Morgana was in her heaven. She had spent the whole night with Gwaine and was over the moon about it. They had stayed out all night, and both had to sneak back into the castle when the morning sun rose. Gwaine had to return to guarding, and Morgana wanted to check on Merlin. She still couldn't shake the guilt that had seized her about Merlin and what she was doing, and she knew that the guilt would get worse and worse until Merlin was well and she could tell him the truth. Morgana returned to the room where Merlin was, and she knew that something was off before she got through the door. She could feel the amount of magic that was in that room. She peered cautiously around the door and saw no one was there, so she stepped into the room. Morgana made her way over to Merlin, and she could feel the strength of magic getting more potent, so she knew it was from him. She bent down beside him and touched his forehead, which was hot, and she saw that he had a fever. Merlin then began to thrash about the bed, and he seemed to be fighting the poison or something else, and Morgana felt helpless and shouted for help. She could feel the tears run down her cheek as she wanted to Merlin to be okay and she soon felt a strong pair of arms pull her up and into their strong chest but her crying didn't stop, it was only the sobs that fell silent. Gaius entered the room expecting the worst, rushed to Merlin's side, and touched his fever.
"The poison is taking over, and he can't fight it for much longer." Gaius said sadly. He heard Morgana cry harder and was shocked to see Gwaine with his arms around Morgana, holding her close. Then Gaius knew that something must be going on. He then felt disappointment towards Gwaine and anger towards Morgana. Gaius ignored the pair behind him and began to work on Merlin and try to slow the poison even more, trying everything that he could. Gaius began to feel frustrated as he was down to his last two remedies, which would help, but he knew they wouldn't help. Finally, Gaius had to give up, collapsed by the side of Merlin, and held his hand tightly.
"There must be something you can do! Anything!" Morgana shrieked, and Gaius just shook his head.
"I have tried everything, and I can't do anything. It's just a matter of time." Morgana felt herself break, rushed forward, and pulled a magic book from under her bed before running to Merlin's side and flicking open the book. She began to search desperately to find a cure for Merlin so that she could heal him. She felt lost when the book had nothing and refused to give up. Morgana was about to give up when she came across a spell, and she knew that this might get the right message across, and before anyone could stop her, she was chanting.

Arthur felt high as he and his knights rode back to Camelot. He led the way back to Camelot but didn't want to stop for anything. They were about to cross a river when Arthur felt a sharp pain in his chest, making him cry out. He felt the heart-wrenching pain and fell from his horse, clutching his chest, and was soon surrounded by his knights who were desperately trying to find out what was wrong. Arthur had never felt a pain like it, and he could feel it deep in his heart. He could feel his heart breaking, but he somehow knew that it wasn't his breaking. Arthur gasped for air and tried to breathe, but the pain was getting worse. He felt as if his whole world was falling to pieces and he was losing someone that he loved. Arthur shut his eyes to try and breathe, and that was when he saw the flash of Morgana's face and her agony. He then knew that she must have used magic so he could feel her pain, and Arthur knew that a pain that would cause that much harm was Merlin dying. He tried to scramble to his feet but was complicated and managed to call out to his knights to mount him on his horse, and with their help, he did. Through the pain, Arthur managed to ride on, and he was even more determined to get back to Camelot and save Merlin. He would then shout at Morgana for doing that to him.
