I can't believe i almost kissed him. The Merlin! Im such an idiot, we only just met what was i thinking? Of course he wouldn't want to kiss me. He didn't have to drop me though that was just uncalled for. Daydreaming and stressing out about merlin as we got closer to Camelot i was suddenly stuck speechless as the gates opened up and the lower town was revealed.

Camelot is so much different from what it was portrayed as in the series, it looks the same but it feels so much... more. How anyone could think magic was gone from this place was crazy. It was everywhere! Every stone, every house and every plant was teeming with magic, small and dormant but it was still there. Every second I'm in this world the more i can sense it, and don't even get me started on Merlin himself! When i first started sensing the magic around me I'm sure i must have looked insane staring at him but i couldn't help it, the sheer power that radiates from him is astounding. Even Arthur felt of magic but i suppose that's because of his birth and being part of such a great destiny.
Is this what the druids sense? I thought to myself in a daze distracted by the bustling streets and noise all around me. I winced as my head pounded behind my eyes unused to all these new magical sensing abilities i seem to have developed and the strength at which they seem to be growing to.
What i wouldn't give for some Paracetamol right now
I moaned to myself allowing myself a moment of self pity before focusing on my current predicament.

"Merlin?" I asked quietly trying not to squeeze him to tight in my nervousness, my arms still wrapped around him as the horse continued towards the stables.
"What happens now?" I question nervously worrying my bottom lip in between my teeth.
"What do you mean?" puzzled he turns his head slightly to look back at me. Diverting my eyes i stare at the horse's back before replying timidly,
"well i dont have any money, or clothes, or food. I dont have a home or any friends. What am i suppose to do? Where am i suppose to go? What if i can't get back to my world? What do i tell people? how will i explain who i am and where i came from? oh god they're all going to find out. I'm going to be executed. I'm going to die" My breathing quickened dramatically as i worked my way into a panic I hadn't considered any of these things before but now I was thinking about it in more detail i realize how much trouble i'm in if i can't find a way home quickly.
"hey... HEY! calm down! Calm. Down. You will be fine we'll take this one step at a time" Gripping my shoulders gently merlin gave me a slight shake, worry once again pooling in his eyes and directed at me,
"you're getting ahead of yourself here. First we'll head to Gaius and get you checked over, then we'll talk to him about everything and decide what to do from there. okay?" He asked quietly head tilted towards me in question. Taking some deep breaths and remembering the exercises from home i focused all my attention on Merlin and his stunning eyes using them to calm me down,
"Yea.. Yea. That sounds okay. Awesome. Thankyou Merlin. Sorry i freaked out on you there" Smiling shyly up at him i realized he was facing me and we were on the ground
when did we get off the horse? I wondered already to tired to really care what the answer was.
I just want today over with.
"Come on then Avim. Gaius' is this way" Merlin called cheerily leading me away towards the castle ignoring my puzzled expression.
"Avim?" I questioned. "Is that meant to be some kind of nickname?"
Smiling apologetically Merlin replied quietly still dragging me towards the physicians chambers. "Sorry I can call you something else if you want it's just you never told me your name and it was immediately what my first thought was when i met you" He shrugged half heatedly still walking ahead a slight pink tinge creeping up his neck as he continued to ramble.
"Merlin it's fine. I like it, new place new me, i think my real name might be a bit too strange for this world so I'd be happy to take your name" Merlin stumbled slightly in front of me as i finished my sentence red covering both of our faces as i realized what i had said.
"No. No.. not your name. i meant the name you chose for me. I wouldn't... I didn't... you... um... we" Stuttering all over the place and putting my foot in it as usual i was saved by a sudden rush of magic coming from my right followed by a soft chuckle.
"Well anyone would be lucky to be married to our Merlin wouldn't you say Gwen?" Zoning out from the conversation completely i was fully distracted by Morgana, she was even more stunning in person, her skin was as pale as snow and hair as dark as a raven.
"Snow white" I muttered out loud transfixed with her beauty before realizing what i'd just said.
Oh why was i such a dork? My face heated up as i became even more embarrassed.
"Sorry darling but my name is Morgana. I am intrigued by who this snow white is though if i remind you of her so much?" She said questioningly towards me smiling gently, her smile lighting up the hallway striking me with a sudden thought
This is the Morgana that was meant to be not that twisted shell Morgause caused her to become. I will save her if i can and damn the consequences it may have.

Shocked by my own thoughts i shook my head. It will do no good to have thoughts like that when i know i cant stay, i must go home back to my own world. Realizing i still hadn't answered yet and blushing profusely i stuttered out a response.
"She's a princess in a story my mother used to tell me when i was younger my lady."
Smiling gently she reached out and lifted my chin eyes darkening when she noticed the slice to my cheek, gaze roaming over my body anger radiated off of her in waves that sent my mind through a loop as she saw the state of my clothes and injured leg.
Hopefully this magic emotion thing fades off soon i thought pleadingly I really dont want this headache anymore.

"Well i hope you can tell me the story of snow white one day little.. Avim? Was it" She smiled once more before turning me back towards merlin and shuffling me along
"Now off to Gauis with you, you need treating right away. Gwen and Myself will accompany you, girls have to stick together in this castle" She winked at me before linking her arm through mine, Gwen doing the same on the other side, both smiling warmly at me.

Maybe I'd be better off staying in Camelot.. maybe i could help save some people.
