【Y/n】

I wake up in an unfamiliar place I don't recognize. I look around and my memories hit me and all come back at once. Afterwards, I hear a knock on my door. "Come in!" Slowly opening the door I notice it's Merlin. "Good Morning, are you doing okay? Breakfast is waiting for you downstairs, whenever you're ready. Hans made it specially for you." I jump out of bed to look at Merlin. He notices that I'm hungry just by the look in my eyes, not saying anything and makes an entrance for me.

Opening the door fully and putting his arm out directing towards the hallway. He gives me a smirk. I finish cleaning up my bed and run to him, but only to push him out of the way to make my way downstairs. Leading me where I smell that delicious food.

"Dig in Y/n!" Hans says to me as I rush to the table, lightning speed. Stuffing my face with as much food as humanly possible. "Woah, slow down, do you want to ruin your skin?" Jack says to me. "Well I don't mind, I like a strong woman who can eat." Arthur winks at me. I finish up and look over to the triplets. "Guys, your food is getting cold!" Hans yells over to them. "That can wait, we've been working on this invention all night" one of them says. "Once Y/n agreed to try out our inventions we've finally came up with a good idea!"

I'm so scared of what they mean by it as I glance at my skin, scared that they would notice my nervousness. I can easily hide my emotions now with this ring on. This is so useful! I smile to myself. "What're you smiling for?" Merlin was looking at me with his elbow on the table and his hand to his cheek. I didn't notice that he was looking till now even though he sat right next to me. My smile goes away and I purposefully cough. "Nothing, nothing." I wonder how these people would treat me if they knew about my skin condition. They wouldn't think that I was a monster, would they? I begin to think about the hard hitting questions. Suddenly we hear a crash from outside. The guys go and get their things. I rush outside to check on the situation. It's a dragon over at Golden Goose Avenue destroying anything in its path.

We're all ready to go and we run down as fast as we can. Merlin starts attacking by throwing talismans at the dragon sending it shock after shock. While Pino, Noki, and Kio are shooting at it on the legs with auto crossbows. Hans successfully hits the dragons back with his shield and Jack swiftly, with his invisibility cloak, punches the dragon as hard as he can in the face. Leaving the dragon's neck exposed Arthur comes into slice its head with his sword. Blood was shed as the decapitated head hit the stone cold ground. "You just got Merlin'd!" I hear him cheer.

I notice a figure behind the now dead dragon. "Merlin, there's a woman." I point behind the dragon. "We'll go check it out. Stay here where it's safe." He holds my right hand for a second rubbing the ring as he looks into my eyes. I nod at him understanding. He nods back and tells the guys to follow him. I can still see clearly, the woman has a long nose and green skin. Wow, she's really pretty! The next thing I see is Merlin and the rest of them fighting her. My heart sank. I thought- Just before I can finish, quickly, they all run towards me, Merlin grabs onto my hand.

"We need to go," he says to me. "Why?" I look back at the woman now sprouting wings and starting to fly. "We kinda attacked the Fairy Princess thinking that she was a witch." Merlin gives me a nervous smile. She then blasts Merlin and the rest of the F7 with some type of magic. "Now if anyone tries to gaze upon you, you will turn into ugly little green dwarfs," says the Fairy Princess. I turn around and I feel my body being hunched over and feel a small hand cling onto me. I got a better look and it's Merlin and the rest of the guys, all green and short. Awww. So cute! Is the only thing that comes through my mind. "Kiss the most beautiful woman in the world and the curse shall be lifted!"
