CHAPTER TWO
Morgana gently ran her fingers down the sleeping Merlin's hair. She knew it was dangerous to be in Camelot but she really could not resist coming to see her beloved future king. The spell was taking longer to perfect then she thought and she was really starting to get restless. This was the second time this week she risked sneaking into Camelot to see Merlin.
He stirred in his sleep and Morgana stepped back in fear that he would wake. When he remained asleep she approached his bed and continued stringing her fingers through his hair. She watched his chest as it slowly raised and fell. Her poor Merlin must have been exhausted from his long day working for Arthur.
Her blood boiled at the thought of Arthur barking commands and Merlin breaking his back to please him. Merlin was such a clever man and deserved much more then being only a manservant. His rightful place was next to her as ruler of Camelot.
Part of her just wanted to kidnap Merlin now and just keep him with her until she finished the love spell. She missed him so much and she could hardly stay away from him for so long. Yet, she knew it would be unwise to do anything before everything was in place. Her plan had to go perfect, she did not want to risk hurting her Sweet Merlin. She pressed her lips gently to his forehead.
"Soon, My Love, I promise." she whispered
She knew the sun would come up soon and she needed to leave before she got caught. It took a few seconds, but eventually she was able to pull herself away from him. She gave him one last look as she descended down the stairs quietly and walked out the door. She had snuck in and out Camelot so many times over the years that by now that it was as simple as taking a walk. Not to mention that the guards where really easy to get by; when she became queen she was defiantly going to make sure she had descent guards.
"Stop right there!" a voice commanded
Plus the few times she did get caught she could simply kill the guard. She whipped around, whispered a spell and sent the guard flying. She walked up to him and noticed he was knocked out. She pulled out a dagger and just as she was about to kill him she stopped, she might be able to use him. She did need a test dummy for the love spell. She had to make sure it worked correctly before she used it on Merlin.
It took awhile for her to drag the guard to the horse she had prepared just outside Camelot. She threw his body on the horse and walked the six hour journey to the hut she had been hiding in for the past few months. When she got there she tied the guard to a rope hanging from the celling and got to work.
After several attempts and nearly burning off her eyebrows a few times she was sure that she got it right. This time she wore long thick gloves while handling the needle just to be safe. She desperately did not want to prick herself again. She hoped that she got this one right, she wanted to get to Merlin and enchant him as soon as possible.
She approached the struggling guard with the needle. She struck it into his neck and stood back. He struggled harder for a few seconds before passing out. Morgana watched as the needle disintegrate. She hoped that meant it worked. After twenty minutes he eventually awoke.
His eyes widened as soon as his gaze met her. He opened his mouth and seemed to by trying to say something but no sound was coming out; he looked like fish. She grabbed his chin and gently pulled him closer to him. She watched as a wide smile grew across his face. She smirked at his dazed expression. It was clear he felt something for her, most likely love, but she needed to know if he do anything for her. She have to test him... Plus she might have a bit of fun doing it.
She leaned in closer until her lips were just an inch from his. Just as he bent forward to touch her lips to touch hers and she pulled away last moment. "I am sorry, I just can't" she whispered as she turned away.
"What's wrong?" the man asked
She turned back to see the hurt expression on his face. It was almost sad, almost.
"I just don't know if you really love me." she replied softy
"Of course I do! Why would you think something like that?" he nearly yelled and struggled in the ropes to get closer to her.
"Can you prove it?" she asked
"Yes, I will do anything for you!" he screamed hysterically "I love you, I love you so much."
"Good tell me about the defenses of Camelot."
BLAH BLAH BLAH, Morgana gets information from guard, he tells her everything he knows. Nothing to import.
FEW MINUTES LATER
"That's all I know I swear." he finished
"Thank you." Morgana said as she stroked his cheek. He leaned into her touch. "But I still need you to prove yourself."
"Anything." he replied
"Do you have a wife?" she asked
He nodded "Yes, but I will leave her for you in a heartbeat."
"Did you love her?" she asked
This might just be the thing to prove the spell worked. If he once loved his wife but would kill her for Morgana, then that meant Merlin would backstab Arthur.
The man looked down "Yes I did... But that was before I met you."
"Ok, in that case bring me her head." Morgana demanded
"But..." the man started
"I thought you do anything for me, I guess not." Morgana turned and walked away.
"Wait" he hollered "I will, for you."
TWO DAYS LATER
The man entered the hut holding the head of a blond woman. She smiled, the spell was perfect. Merlin would love her as she loved him. He would help her take over Camelot and they would be happy forever.
It turned out what she did wrong before was just a few simple things. In magic the simplest things can make the biggest differences. It was one of the first things Morgause taught her. It turns out she added a little to much Mag Root and she needed a freshly plucked hair from both. It only worked partly because only Morgana's hair was fresh.
Yet, that meant that she needed to kidnap Merlin before she made the next spell. She grinned, that meant she got to see Merlin sooner. She giggled and felt excitement well up in her chest. But she snapped out of it when the man spoke up.
"Now I have proved my love for you, we can be together forever!" the Man declared
She rolled her eyes and sent her dagger flying to his chest killing him. Then she starting figuring out how to kidnap her adorable Merlin.
