Merlin's POV (Third POV)
When they arrived back in Camelot they took the girl straight to Gaius even though it took them the whole night to travel back and arrived in the early hours of the morning. Merlin made sure Gaius got the herbs they had gone out to get in the first place. Arthur couldn't believe it didn't take them long to figure out they were missing. It sort of seemed to really annoy him, Merlin could tell just by looking at his expression on his face even now.
The next two days didn't seem to offer much apart from Merlin serving the guests and keeping an eye on the girl but all she seemed to do is sleep and nothing else. When he woke up he found himself rubbing his eyes. He couldn't help but feel really sick. He got out of bed his vision being really strange but he tried to ignore it as he got changed into his usual clothes and joined Gaius at the table for breakfast.
"She still not came around?" Merlin asks.
"No not since last night when I gave her some food and she told me her name," said Gaius looking at him.
"Isabelle. That is all we know about her and that she has magic. Wasn't safe bringing her here but we had no choice," Merlin says sighing.
"No you didn't dear boy don't blame yourself. Now eat up you have another busy day," he said patting him on the shoulder.
He eats the fruit in front of him and smile at Gaius, "Yeah I know. It is even more work while we have visitors and I don't really trust them much. Gaius you seen that bracelet I was fixing?" Merlin asks Gaius.
"You mean this bracelet" spoke a voice he didn't know. Merlin looks around to find the young girl out of the spare bed Gaius had set up for her holding onto the bracelet he had finished fixing last night. It had taken a lot more time then he had hoped. He just kept getting distracted by everything else.
"Isabelle right?" Merlin says as she hands him over the bracelet
"Yeah you are the one that saved my life?" she stared at me.
"You could say that and Arthur too. He is the prince here," Merlin smile at her as his head pounds all of a sudden.
"Thank you so much. I'm hungry," she states.
Gaius gets her some food while Merlin finishes what Gaius had done for him before he smiled at Isabelle one last time before he left the chamber knowing he had a lot to do today.
Unknown POV
"Stop pacing!" he barks at his son.
"Shut up! I need to think!" the son screamed back at him.
He watched his son pace for ten more minutes before he stopped and looked at his father. "It does work. It just doesn't affect him as much as we had hoped. Only way we can get it to be stronger is if we get close to him and make it more stronger. I have an idea," he smirked.
"Well lets get to it then," smiles the father looking for some kind of hope.
"Second stage will work."
Merlin's POV (First Person)
On occasion I felt myself getting tired at the most worst times. Normally when I'm away from Arthur and helping out the visitors, but not Ann. Of course I'm not allowed near her. Her dad made sure of that. Even if I took a glance at her his eyes landed on me glaring.
I don't quite get why he is so protective. Like I would do anything. I gave him back the bracelet to give to her. He seemed please with it, luckily enough.
As I made Alan's bed I started to feel sick again and had to sit down on the bed for a moment or I would of fainted right then. Ever since Ann hit me with that door, its been nothing but struggling along doing normal activities. I've never had such trouble then I am now. It don't stop me doing my duties it just makes it that much harder.
I finished up with the room and left in a hurry to get back to Gaius. I need something to stop this happening all the time. I can't keep on going like this.
I walk down the corridor and around the corner and on towards Arthur's chamber. I made the next turn and walked straight into someone. "I'm am so sorry," spoke a voice so light I hardly heard it.
"It's alright,,,may I ask what you doing here?" I ask as I back away.
"Nothing special. Just visiting. Uther said it be a good time since you have other visitors and we can all reunite our Kingdoms. I'm Prince Jordon of Dartmoor," he said putting out his hand.
I looked at it for a few moments before I took his hand and shook it. "Ah Merlin I see you already met Jordon. I'm sorry I didn't get around to telling you. His father is here too. His name is Ian. Please make them both welcome. May I have a word in private," he suddenly says.
"I'll be on my way," he said looking at me strangely before he walked away. I look at Arthur. I hadn't seem him much of the day but as he put his arm around my shoulder I couldn't help but feel suddenly weak. Something rushed over me in an instant and I collapse at his feet in agony in my side. I put my hand to it feeling so overwhelmed with pain.
Arthur is down in front of me now looking at me in concern, "Merlin what is wrong?" he asked his eyes full of sadness.
"Arthur, I really don't know," I said through big breathes in.
"Your really worrying me," he said as he helped me to my feet.
"I'm going to be alright. Maybe Gaius will figure it out. Please don't worry," I tell him firmly.
"I don't think I can do that, Merlin. All this, its keeping me on edge."
"I know but give it time. It will pass."
"I don't know Merlin. Every time you feel like your better something seems to get worse again," he said as he helped me along the corridor.
I look at him and sigh, "I know. I don't know what is happening. I'm worried too, Arthur. Feel so useless."
"You think its just an illness?" he asks me.
"I hope so."
Unknown POV
"It seems stronger," the father spoke to his son.
"Of course it is. I took the best opportunity. It won't be too long now, Father. I promise you that. Soon, when they least expect it she will take over."
"And you still have this mad plan about killing her?"
"Why not!" he snaps at his father. "She don't deserve our help but we help her anyway!"
"It's more complicated then that, son."
"NO IT'S NOT! WHERE IS MOTHER? She killed her," he said the last few words more quietly.
"I know she did. I know that, but she isn't what we want. It's him. It's always been him, we just didn't know it," the father cracks a smile.
"You have this obsession but I don't blame you. Merlin at our Mercy, but I still don't see why people fear him. Merlin he is still just a serving boy magic or not. What is so amazing?"
"Everything. His magic is strong. That magic we can some day have ourselves. Remember that. He is the key to everything."
"Key to everything? I doubt that. All these prophecy's...why him? You never tell me!" he shouts again at his father.
"I can't be sure. Not certain but the way Morgana fears him. The way he stopped her and Morgause. I have a good feeling about this, about him. Trust me," the father says looking at his son.
"I still want her dead. I still want to rip her apart from ear to ear! Don't you understand that! I don't care about Merlin!" he screams.
"But I do. So do what I tell you and maybe just maybe we can take her down with us."
Unknown POV (New)
The fragile girl sat on the steps of the courtyard, thinking her next move. Kill him? Take him? Confront him? She is stuck on the decision. She was told to get close to him and strike. He stopped magic returning to this Kingdom! He fights such a lost cause! Yet he still stands by Uther and Arthur but for what? They are angry! So angry. But she can't help but feel there is more to him then everyone is making out to be. Something special but if she don't do something soon...he'll come and do it. He'll punish her and then strike him down himself. But what if there is so much more to him. So much more to Merlin.
