Chapter Twenty-Four Just the Begining...

"I did it Nathan now let Lexia go and leave us alone." I say an angry look on my face. "I'm sorry my dearest sister but leaving him must not have been enough." My brother says and I stare confused because everything is happening to quickly. "Just look." He says gesturing behind me. I turn around and see Merlin running towards me confused and worried. "Lilith what's going on?" Merlin asks and I take no time in answering. I place my hands on the ground and breath out. My brother stares at me suspiciously and Merlin and Lexia look at me like I'm crazy. The ground begins to shake but I keep my balance. "Merlin get Lexia I'll deal with my brother. Merlin wastes no time and runs over to Lexia and begins to take off her restraints. "You cannot defeat me sister." Nathan says laughing but then I send a blast trough the air knocking him out. I place my hand on the ground and breath in. The earthquake stops and Merlin runs over to me. "Lilith I need to know what's going on." Merlin says and I wish I could tell him but I know we dot have time. "We don't have time Merlin we need to bring back Arthur before he wakes back up." I say pointing to my brother and Merlin sighs but nods in agreement. "Let's go." I say and we begin to run out of the ruins.

"Place it in the water." I tell Lexia remembering why I read on the paper Freya       gave us and she picks up the earth stone and places it so that the water just covers it. "You ready?" Merlin asks and I nod. We grab hands and then lift our free hand and begin to chant the spell that the paper had on it. "a die acerba funeral ascriberet." A voice says from behind us just a we finish the spell and I recognize it from my vision. I turn around and see my brother as the curse flys in Merlins direction I jump in front of him. "Lilith!" Merlin yells as I fall to the ground. "No! You made me kill my sister!" Nathan yells but just as I think he's going to kill Merlin I see a sword go flying through the air and hit him in the chest. Merlin and I turn our heads and see King Arthur. "Arthur?!" Merlin exclaims forgetting about me for a moment until pain shoots through me and I let out a loud cry of pain. "Merlin, what's happening." Arthur asks but Merlin doesn't answer. "We brought him back." Merlin says says trying to make me smile and I let out a horse laugh. "I can see that stupid." I say trying to make him feel better but I already know that I can't do anything and neither can he. "Merlin I need to tell you something before I die." I say but Merlin shakes his head. "Your not going to die." He says tears hanging at the edges of his eyes but then I give him an angry look. "Merlin I am dying and if you interrupt me I will you the last of my strength to hit you on the head. I say and watch as Lexia sits next to Merlin. Lexia is starting to cry and Arthur looks like he's realizing what's happening. "Arthur that's your sword I want you to take it,Lexia Meredith is your mother,Merlin I only tried to leave you because Nathan was gonna kill you if I didn't and Nathan is also my brother but I never knew he would do this, a-and..." I say but I begin to run short on breath and I see tears in everyone's eyes even Arthur's. "And, I love you." I say as I begin to feel my last breath coming I remember what the strange man told me in the crystal cave. "Merlin, t-this is just, the beginning." I manage to say as I draw my last breath. I smile as my vision goes dark because at least I died surrounded by those I loved.
