Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Merlin

This is my first one shot book so don't judge too harshly

I've read a few similar oneshots like this, so I decided to write my own. Hope you like it! Also Lancelot is alive.

Ughhh. Great, another hunting trip. Dont they ever get sick of those? The knights and Arthur were going on a two day hunting trip. Again. Just like last week! It was the afternoon, and i was preparing the horses for the trip, that would no doubt be like all the others. Boring and uneventful. I just finished packing the food into my bags when king prat and the knights arived.

"Ready to go merlin?" Arthur asked excitedly 

"Yea yea" i replied with no enthusiasm 

"Come on merlin! It'll be fun!" Said gwain. "Sure it will" i answered sarcastically "because killing an innocent animal thats minding its own business is fun!!!" Arthur rolled his eyes at this. But seriously, why do they like killing innocent animals!?

Five minutes later we were riding through camelots forest waiting for an animal to walk by so we can kill it. Luckily so far, nothing. After an hour it started to get dark, and we had already killed two rabits and a deer, until Arthur finally announced it was time to set up camp. "Im going to get some fire wood!" I yelled at them but nobody noticed as usual. I had about an armful of fire wood, when i got this feeling that i was being watched, and it wasnt by Arthur or one of the knights. I walked at a slightly faster pace back to camp. 

"Oh there you are merlin" arthur said in his usual prattty manner, but behind that I could see he was worried about me. I cooked dinner, ate, and laughed with the other knights at gwain's tavern stories, but i got that feeling that someone's watching us. 

"Are you alright merlin?" Lancelot asked concerned. Everyone looked at me. I guess i had been too quiet. Should i tell them? Would they believe me? 

"Yea, i-im fine. I just got this feeling.... that someones... watching us" i said nervously. The knights gave me confused looks, but Arthur just laughed. I knew they wouldnt believe me.

"Aaww, are you scared merlin? Missing guaise?" King prat replied mockingly. I glared at him, and the knights all laughed.

Then, behind Percival, a twig snapped. The laughter stopped suddenly, and everyone gripped their hands around their sword hilts except me as i needed no weapon.

"Reveal yourself" Arthur ordered, his voice full of authority.

I heard  leaves crunch, and out from the dark trees, came a girl with dark black hair, chocolate brown eyes, and a familiar dress hanging off her slim body. As i saw this my heart stopped. 

The king and knights stared at the girl suspiciously, before relaxing when they saw a helpless expression painted on her face. I however, froze. It cant be. No, she died. she died in my arms. i felt hot tears swelling up in my eyes threatening to fall, and the knot in my chest tighten as every second passed. It was five minutes of silence before anyone spoke.

"who are you?" Arthur asked, in a soft calming voice, which surprised Me. What was Arthur doing? didn't he realize Morgana could have sent her?!

"Who cares! she's pretty" Gwaine of course had to say something stupid. I felt anger at this girl. How dare she look like her. How dare Mogana do something this cruel!

I noticed that she was trying to catch my gaze, but i just stared at my feet. I cant bare to look at her until...

"Merlin" her voice came out as a whisper. she sounded to weak, so desperate, so fragile. Out of the corner of my eyes i could see the others startled expressions. I slowly raised my already tear stained face to meet her eyes. "Merlin, its me-" she stated again, but this time i cut her off.

"NO! IT CANT BE. YOU DIED IN MY ARMS, I BURIED YOU!" I screamed. The girl took a step back in fright and the others looked at me in shock. At this point i was shaking, as i let out a sob. This cant be real.

"Merlin whats going on?" Arthur asked cautiously, moving towards me slowly, but i ignored him and continued to stare at the frail girl before my eyes. "IS THIS SOME KIND OF TORTURE?! THE FREYA I LOVED DIED. HOW DOES MORGANA KNOW ABOUT YOU?! " i roar, as i stared into the fake Freya's eyes. I watch as silent tears roll down her face, but i wont give in.

"Merlin, i swear its me!" she urges despraely. i can hear the plead in her voice, the truth in her words... what if it is her? No she died. 'Freya' steps closer to me but i pull away, watching as more tears pore down her face. 

A sob escapes my lips, and at this point i'm so overwhelmed i cant even think straight, so i turn and run through the green forestry, i run and run going no where in particular until i reach a clearing . There i fall to my knees and cry. i cry for Will, for my Father,  and especially for my long lost love, Freya.

Ten minutes later, i stop crying and the realisation of what i've done comes rushing back to me. Streatching, I leap up and walk my way back to camp, as It's night fall. All i hope is that 'Freya' is gone, and that i was seeing things, but as i reach our campsite, i notice her sitting quietly on a log with the other knights and Arthur. As the leaves crunched under my feet, i see everyone turn around to face me.

"There you are" Arthur said "are you going to explain?" 

"Only if she does. You have One minute" i stated coldly staring at 'Freya'.

And so she began explaining "It's really me Merlin. A few days ago the Avalon gaurds granted me a new life for all my deeds in asissting you, so i woke up on the shore of the lake yesterday, and have been trying to find you ever since" she took a step forward, but this time i didnt resist. i gulped, as fresh tears welled up in my eyes, but unlike before, these were tears of joy.

"It's really you?" I ask, my voice breaking

"Yes" she replies softly, with tears of joy running down her face

"I'm sorry" i whisper. "i'm sorry for not believing you"

"i forgive you, always"

I take a step closer, so now our noses were nearly touching, and lean in, and Freya does the same, until our lips touch. Freya flips her hands around my neck, and I pull her closer by grabbing her waist. The kiss feels so good, maybe just as good as the first time we kissed, but nothing lasts forever and after about ten seconds, we pull apart, smiling at each other.

That's when i remembered the knights and Arthur. We turn around to find everyone with their jaws wide open, surprise written all over their faces.  Freya giggles at this, and i find it adorable.

"w-wha- h-how d-" Arthur stuttered, still in shock

"this is gonna take some explaining to do" I say, grinning.
