My Magical Wish (Merlin) (On Going)

The Beginning of the End- Fidelma or Sam

Hello, my Merlin fans, I am back! I know it has been forever.

I am sorry that I did not update. I have been very busy for the past couple of months, even more. I know we are in a crisis with this virus going around. Hopefully, this chapter will be a relief and peace for you.

My teaching job starts again, studying for my exam, directing a play, and spending time with my family. Again, the next chapter will take some time because of life and my next update is my "Red Rose Nightmare" story. Please be patient with me.

Plus, my family lost someone important. It's going to be hard for a while. Anyways, please enjoy this chapter.

Also, I do not own anything except my OCs Sam, Josh and Courtney.

3rd POV

The midday sun shone in the Physician's Chambers. Gaius placed a bowl down at the table as he asked his nephew, "Where is Samantha? It's passed lunch and she's never late."

Merlin paused as he replied, "She's... she's with Morgana. Morgana wanted Sam's help and said she might miss lunch today."

Gaius sighed as he stared at the stew. "It's a shame. I know this too is one of our favorites and now it's getting cold."

Gaius grumbled as he picked up Samantha's bowl and walked back to his medical set. Merlin had been picking at his lunch for the past 10 minutes. Even though his stomach was growling, and he could smell the stew's delicious aroma up to his nose, he had too much on his mind.He looked up from his lunch to see Gaius was writing in his notes.

"Do you know much about the Druids?" Merlin asked his uncle.

Without looking up from his notes, Gaius replied, "Very little. They're very secretive people. Especially now they're being hunted by Uther." Merlin continued to peck at his lunch, until Gaius' head snapped up and said accusingly, "Merlin, please tell me you haven't got yourself mixed up in this."

Merlin looked confused before saying, "Me? No. Mixed up in what?"

"What about Samantha?"

"Sam? No way, she wouldn't dream of getting into trouble," Merlin said, trying to push down the guilty feeling.

Gaius glared as he marched right up to the table where Merlin was supposed to be eating. "For someone with such a big secret, you are a terrible liar."

Merlin tried to smile as he played it off. "Well, we haven't done anything." Gaius crossed his arms as he continued to glare at Merlin. The young wizard knew he had to stop lying and that he was caught. He took a deep breath and said, "I heard the boy calling out. It was different when Sam and I communicate to each other. When we communicate to each other, it feels like a warm presence, but with the boy it felt strange. He was nowhere to be seen, but I could hear him... like he was inside my mind."

Gaius sighed as he stated, "Yes, I've heard of this ability. The Druids look for children with such gifts to serve as apprentices. While they're searching for this boy, you and your sister must be especially careful otherwise it'll be your head on the chopping block."

Merlin gulped as he tried to calm his beating heart. He and his sister had been in trouble before. Why should this one be any different?

Merlin had his simple smile as he said quickly, "I'm always careful. You know me. And I would protect Sam. She is always careful."

"Yes, Merlin, unfortunately I do."

Gaius walked back to his medical set, but quickly turned around and pointed at Merlin. Merlin smiled before he continued to peck at his lunch. Why does he have a feeling that this is not gonna be easy?
