"Mordred please." I begged

"Leave me alone. I know what side you are on."

"Mordred this is not about sides. She chose to hurt others. Arthur-"

"Arthur is going to kill her."

"And what about the men she killed? Mordred you cannot allow your hate to blind you!"

"I know what you are doing"

I sighed "I am trying to help you. Arthur cares about you! If he could do this another way he would!"

"DO NOT LIE TO ME!"

I felt a compressing pain erupt in my lungs. I dropped to the floor "M-mor-dr-red. Mordr-ed, p-plese s-sto-op."

Morderd's eyes closed and the pain left.

"You tell me to listen? To trust you? Merlin betrayed me."

"No-"

"Do. Not. Lie. To. Me."

Tears swelled in my eyes "I do not lie. Please just, listen. She chose her fate! She could have walked away free from this-you know this to be truth! Arthur is a just man!"

"Then why let her die!?"

"Everyone must pay for their crimes-"

"SHE WAS MY FRIEND!"

The compressing pain came back, and I desperately fought to breathe.

"S-stop!"

The pain left once more, leaving me gasping on the floor.

"Leave. I have had enough of your excuses. I will avenge her.  Now leave, before I change my mind."

I blinked back the blinding tears. "Very well, I will leave. But understand this: Your actions will have consequences. I hope you are prepared for whatever they are."

Merlin held me tightly.

"What if he tells Morgana?" I cried

"Everything will be alright."

"He doesn't understand."
