 Chapter 1- Hunting the Hunted

I do not own Merlin. But please do enjoy my story. 

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

In a land of myth and a time of magic, the destiny of a great kingdom rests on the shoulders of a young man. His name- Merlin.

"Merlin, you really can't go any slower than this, can you “Arthur complained," and if you sneeze or make another noise one more time, I will kill you".

"No, you won't," Merlin snickered.

"Oh, really now, who can stop me, you," Arthur laughed,” I am a King and I got a sword".

"Yeah, that's true, but you’re missing one important fact," Merlin said.

"Did I now, and what's that important fact?" Arthur asked, sarcastically.

"It starts with royal and the second word rhymes with fact, and the fact is that you're a royal prat,"

The knights started laughing at the fact that Merlin and Arthur were arguing again.

“Merlin, one day, you are going to....."

“Sire, you might want to look at this," Sir Leon shouted.

 Merlin and Arthur rode to where Sir Leon was.

 Merlin POV

On the floor was a young woman, who had long brown flowing hair, which was all over her face. I jumped off my horse, knelt down and turned the young woman around.

"No..." I whispered, tears in my eyes," It can't be."

There on the floor was Zara, my twin sister same pale face, same brown hair and piercing blue eyes.

“Merlin, help me pick her up," Arthur ordered.

But all I did was stand there looking blankly at Zara, my twin sister, my own flesh and blood, hurt.

"Merlin, are you deaf, help me pick the girl up, we need to take her to Gaius!" Arthur shouted, as he turned around and saw my face, from my guess, looked devastated.

“Merlin, what's wrong," Arthur asked, he looked at me and Zara, “Merlin, do you know her?"

All I did is just give one single nod, as tears streamed down my eyes.

"Gwaine, help me pick her up, so we can put her on my horse" Arthur ordered.

"Yes, Sire," Gwaine answered.

Slowly, I walked to my horse and got on my horse as I was thinking about what happened 12 years ago.
