Scars Untold (Merthur)

Part 9

The cuffs prevented him from doing any sort of magic exceot for there were small cracks through which Merlin was still alive since Magic was his life force. He was about to get up when suddenly the doors thrust open and the clicking of heels only indicated one thing and that was the presence of Morgana. Merlin used all his strength to get up leaning a little on the candle stand

"Merlin!" Morgana said enthusiastically

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The guards harshly shoved Merlin on his knees as Morgana sat on what is suppose to be Arthur's throne 

"Kneeling already are we Merlin?" Morgana's cold voice called out "I was sure that it would talk time for you to accept me,"

Merlin looked into Morgana's black orbs, trying to find the girl who he had once admired as a friend, the girl who was willing to risk her life to save a boy she barely knew against her father's orders, the girl who couldn't sit through the tournaments when her step-father fought, the girl who was loved by everyone simply because of her kindness. But that girl was now gone...vanished, instead there was a girl who was willing to do anything for power, the one who kills innocent people without a second of thought for her own pleasure and tricks 

Merlin growled dangerously at her, making her know that he wasn't afraid of her. Morgana hisses as she ordered the guards to tie him up. Merlin groaned as he was yanked from the ground and his hands over his head, the shackles attached to some ropes which held him in place painfully, the shackles biting into Merlin's wrists

"Now," Morgana said twirling her dagger "Tell me what you know about Emyrs,"

Merlin kept his head down so she knew about her doom 

"I have no idea who Emyrs is," he said bluntly but smirking from inside 

Morgana scratched into Merlin's skin with the dagger drawing blood as Merlin gasped and groaned. She did it so slowly that when the cold dagger pierce through his skin, he shuddered at the touch 

"Don't make it harder then it looks," Morgana said clearly getting impatient as she punched Merlin's face twice her ring making a shallow cut on his cheek 

Merlin felt the blood trickle down his cheek but Merlin kept his guard and didn't budge from his place, being amazing at one of his talents, stubbornness. Morgana was done once she was that the warlock was ignoring her, something she wasn't use to. She took the dagger again slamming it in his arm, making Merlin cry out in pain as the scarlet liquid poured out of the wound

"I NEED TO KNOW WHO EMYRS IS," Morgana shouted at him "I need to find him and kill him before he strikes,"

She punched him twice again, making various cuts into his skin. When she finally stopped, she let out a scream of frustration seeing as Merlin still hadn't surrendered to her

"Tell me where he is Merlin," Morgana cried to him 

Merlin's dreaded blue eyes met Morgana's as he spit the blood from his mouth on to the floor

"I already told you," Merlin lied "I don't know where he is,"

Morgana let out a scream before she sat down back on the throne

"Get him out of here," She ordered the guards 

The guards let him down and Merlin winced as they harshly held his arm with the dagger shortening his fall on the stone floor. On the way to the dungeons again, Mordred was passing by when he saw Merlin dragged through the steps, his eyes widened at the sight but before the guards could see he was monotone again. And being the head of the knights and most graded by Morgana gave him an advantage to everything
