Balinor and Hunith had left Merlin with his older sisters while they ran a few errands

Evina loved Merlin her baby brother with every fiber in her small body therefore Balinor and Hunith knew they had left Merlin in good hands. Morrigan was quite small for her age.

Evina was always flirting with the castle guards Gwaine, Lancelot and Percival and currently at this moment with her brother in her arms she was currently flirting with both Sir Percival and Sir Lancelot. The warning bells of the Kingdom of Vernum echoed throughout the night

Princess Evina we have to leave knights in blood red are marching towards the castle gate Sir Lancelot said take the secret passages and get out of here. No! Lancelot not without you.... Sir Gwaine and Sir Percival.

Princess Evina we have to leave it was Sir Gwaine No! Gwaine ! I'll come find you Gwaine said as Sir Percival lead Princess Evina down the long twisting secret passageway her brother still in her arms.

The smoke outside was beginning to burn Princess Evina's eyes as where the tears Princess Evina it'll be alright

Princess Evina could still hear the clash of metal against metal as swords clashed. She could still hear the screams of her people. Children.

She could still taste the smoke burning her throat. She could still taste the salty tears. As Sir Percival lead Princess Evina down the long twisting secret passageway her brother still in her arms.

Princess Evina did her best to drown out the screams and the clash of metal against metal as swords clashed.

But unfortunately she had been doing her best to drown out the screams and the clash of metal against metal as swords clashed that she stumbled out of the secret passageway coming face to face with Guinevere

Princess Evina held her baby brother tighter to her chest Gwen looked at Uthur than back to Princess Evina Andrew's eyes did the same thing.

Gwen gestured for her to climb up and hide in her cloak while prince Andrew gestured for Princess Evina to put her baby brother into his saddle bag she nodded and put Merlin in Prince Andrew's saddle bag before she scurried into Gwen's cloak second's before King Uther Pendragon turned around to face his brother.

Is that all of them little brother? Uther asked next time don't drag me on another one of these missions as you call them Andrew grumbled before he added they were just children and babies. Someday Andrew you'll rule and you need to be ready.

I'm not you brother how you rule makes me sick, sick to my stomach I'm not you brother Prince Andrew repeated his sentence before adding
they were just children and newborns. What were their crime's besides having magic?

Drown him with the other children Uther ordered hearing Merlins babbling just like any baby or toddler would.

From underneath Gwen's cloak Princess Evina started shaking in fear at Uther Pendragon.

Brother you have killed every single child and baby in Vernum there's no one left Prince Andrew said as his eyes flickered to his saddlebag satisfied with that answer Uther Pendragon nodded and marched his horse back to Camelot.

But what no one knew was hiding in the castle's safe was Merlin's twin sister Elvina cowering in fear covering her ears to drown out the screams and the clash of metal against metal as swords clashed and the cries of innocent children innocent babies echoed throughout the night.

Shhh Evina, Guinevere whispered as she carried Evina to Andrew's quarters the girl still hidden in Guinevere's cloak while Prince Andrew carried his saddlebag in one hand before gently placing his saddlebag on his bed.

Before slamming the door shut. Andrew helped Merlin out of his saddlebag

Don't worry we'll protect you both, Andrew said bending down to Evina's height Merlin in his arms but aren't you Uther Pendragons brother? I'm not like him Andrew said as his face turned pale as white as a sheet of lined paper.

Andrew ran to the bathroom throwing up in the toilet. Andrew had tried to push the sick feeling of today back and only now did he let it show Merlin still in his arms.

What about my friends? And sister, Evina asked as Andrew threw up again

Probably dead Uther killed all the children and newborns of Vernum Gwen answered No their knights of Vernum Sir Gwaine, Sir Percival and Sir Lancelot Evina said but your sister isn't Evina.

If anything Elvina was the best at hiding so Evina doubted she'd be dead.

Guinevere hide them Prince Andrew said hearing footsteps outside his door

Brother what is this? Why are you not joining us at the feast? Uther asked bursting into the room I just don't think drowning a whole Kingdom of children and newborns is cause for celebration replied Andrew throwing up in the toilet again.

It was simple justice Andrew for what they'd done. To whom? They practiced magic they didn't hurt anyone Andrew said annoyed feeling like he was going to be sick again. I told you I want no part in these Celebrations replied Andrew.

It was growing late and dark by the time Balinor and Hunith returned to find both Sir Gwaine, and Sir Lancelot knocked out cold but another thing they saw were the bodies of children babies.

Sir Percival what happened here ? Queen Hunith asked her voice trembled knights in blood red marched towards the castle gates killing all the children and newborn babies. What about my children? Balinor asked.

In Camelot sire Percival replied groaning at the pain in his head and it was so that king Balinor called in for the last time lord for help.

The Doctor shook Gwaine and Lancelot by the shoulders until there eyes flew open I'm sorry sire the knights in blood red have taken Evina and Merlin Lancelot said his eyes trained on the ground littered with the bodies of children and newborn's.

What about Elvina Hunith asked we do not know Lancelot replied fiddling with his cape she was not with the young prince and princess Gwaine groaned.
