Hello! So I'm back again! Here is the next chapter. Sorry for the lateness.

So I know you are waiting for the story, so here it is.

Enjoy and tell me what you think!

Lucy's P.O.V.

Lucy sat down by the fire beside Swanlake. She was tired and sad. She had been riding on Swanlake for what seemed like 8 hours and she was hungry. She was sad and angry because of Arthur's words. She was so sad that she wanted to cry. But she knew that as a Queen she should be brave and strong for-

'For what?' thought Lucy. 'I could go nowhere from here until Merlin comes. What if he didn't come?'

Tears rolled down from her sea blue eyes. for the first time in her life she felt the loneliness. She knew that Swanlake would be there for her but she wanted to make sure that Peter and others are fine.

As the sun went down darkness spread through the valley. Lucy felt the temptation of loneliness sitting beside her. She was hungry and bored. She stretched out her hand to the fire and called 'Enphla Lione' as he eyes flashed gold. There was a crack on the fire. She knew deep down in her heart that using magic in here was dangerous, but he had to pass out her loneliness.

In a few seconds a face of a lion appeared in the flames. Lucy knew this for the spell used was to do that, but then suddenly the figure spoke.

"Lucy" said the figure"

"Aslan?" asked Lucy in amusement. "Is this really you?"

He didn't speak back and Lucy knew that from his eyes it was not what he expected.

"Are the others alright?" she asked .

"Dear" Lucy herd Aslan's voice. "They will be fine but we cannot be sure. You must be quick"

"What about Susan and Edmund? Will they be alright?" Lucy felt a shiver ran through her as she mentioned her siblings' names.

"Lucy you must be quick for the longer you wait the more they have to suffer" she could see Aslan's eyes clearly even through the flames.

"Will they help us?" asked Lucy doubtfully.

"Dear one" said Aslan. "You have decided what is the right thing to do. And that would be always in hand at your need"

Lucy felt a little warmth spread through her veins and she felt stronger. Suddenly she heard a 'crack' behind her. She looked back and saw no one. Then turned towards the fire. But there was nothing on the fire but flames. She heard another crack. She stood up in wanting to see who it was. But there was no one.

"Hello?" she called. "Who's there?" there was no response.

"If someone is there is there I order you to reveal your-" she cut off for at that time a big hand covered her mouth. She was terrified, but managed to grab the hand and twisted it so that she could see the traitor's face.

He looked familiar but with the dim light it she was not sure. The man wore a suit of armor. "Wow Lucy you are fast" he said. His voice felt familiar to her. Then she recognized him.

"Sir Gwaine?" said Lucy. She was surprised and speechless. "Whoa you scared me to death"

Behind him she saw another man dressed in armor. Lucy recognized him too but he was not the one she searched for. "What are you two doing here?"

"Came to help" said the other Knight who was obviously Sir Lancelot.

"No what I mean was where is he?" asked Lucy.

"Who?"

"Merlin" 'you idiots' she was going to say that aloud but preferred not to.

"Oh" said Lancelot. "Why don't you see him? He is just right-" he pointed behind him but broke off seeing no-one there.

"Hay" said Sir Gwaine. "He was just right there"

"Did you guys lost your mind or something?" asked Lucy doubtfully. "WHERE is he?"

"Trust us he was there" said Lancelot.

"Are you sure?" asked Lucy. The two Knights seemed to consider that.

"No!" said both of them at once.

"WHAT? You mean you don't know where he is?" Lucy felt her anger burning inside her. "Are you sure sure you are the Knights of the Round Table, or anyone else?"

"No. We are the same old" said Gwaine smiling.

"Are you trying to mess with me?" asked Lucy.

"Hay!" said a voice behind Lucy. "Were you talking about me?"

Lucy looked behind. She saw a boy dressed in a blue tunic and a brown jacket with a red neckerchief. "Merlin" said Lucy. For a moment she was very glad to see him. She ran to him and hugged him without thinking.

"Uh..." he said. "I am okay"

"Oh" said Lucy and remembered what she was doing. "Sorry! Um... Where have you been?"

"Oh nowhere. We're just messing with you" he said. Lucy stared at him "Was that really necessary?" she asked.

"Well perhaps" he replied. "You were upset"

"Never mind that" she said. "We have to leave"

"Um Lucy" said Lancelot. "We have to spend the night here"

"What?"

"It's just that" Gwaine continued, "Our horses are tired now because we have been riding them for at least six hours. In other words they are not as strong as your Swanlake" At that point Swanlake neighed proudly.

"And as for you" continued Merlin. "We know you are tired too Lucy. Come'on. It's too dark to leave now. Let's rest now and leave tomorrow early morning.

Lucy was unable to object at that point. It was true. But even though she felt really tired she didn't wanted to risk another day.

"But Narnia is in danger" she said.

"Lucy nothing is going to happen to your country I promise." said Merlin coming near. "Now go and sleep. I'll take the first watch"

oOoOoOoOo

Lucy sat down with her back against a tree, as she watched the other two Knights sleep. She tried to sleep, but for some reason the sleep doesn't come to her. She saw Merlin who was also awake with his back against a tree. It was a cold night and she was shivering. Lucy got up and sat down beside Merlin.

"Not sleeping?" He asked from Lucy.

"I believe the sleep is not in good terms with me" she replied. She could feel the warmth of his skin.

"Are you cold? You are shivering" said Merlin. Lucy's sea blue eyes met his emerald blue eyes, and his lips curled into a smile.

"I think so" said Lucy still looking at his beautiful eyes. Without another word the boy took off his jacket and put it over her shoulders. "This is not much but at least this will help you to be warm" he said.

Lucy leaned closer to him to feel his warmth. She felt great full for him as he put his hands around her to make her more comfortable. His steady heartbeat was the last thing she remembered before she dropped off to sleep on his shoulder.

Merlin's P.O.V.

"Psst... Merlin" he heard someone calling him. The sun hasn't risen and it was still dark. He rubbed his eyes carefully without waking Lucy who was leaning on his shoulder sleeping. As his vision became clear he gasped for who he saw.

"Arthur" said Merlin. "What are y-"

"Shh be quiet" warned Arthur. "I came to help you"

"But you s-"

"Explanation later" said Arthur "I saw Morgana's men searching for something... But why wasn't anyone awake for the watch-out?"

"Well I was the one who should take the watch" muttered Merlin.

"What! You mean you fell asleep?" asked Arthur in a very dangerous tone. "Well that makes obvious since you are being with a girl who looks very beautiful and who is now sitting beside you- asleep if I take that correctl-"

"Okay.. Okay stop" said Merlin, who was wishing that Arthur could not to see him blushing. "You win. I'm up"

"Wake the others we have to leave right now" said Arthur getting up. "I'll saddle the horses"

Merlin looked at Lucy who was leaning on to his shoulder, sleeping peacefully. He felt guilty to wake her up. He gently patted her shoulder. "Lucy" he whispered to her ear. "Wake up"

"What?" asked Lucy, rubbing her eyes. For a moment Merlin's emerald blue eyes met her sea blue ones and both of them stared at each other without any word. Finally Merlin said "We have to leave right now" It was hard for him to take his eyes away from hers. Her thin lips curled to a smile, and Merlin almost wanted to kiss her-

He blushed at that thought waved it off. Together they woke the other two Knights.

"What are you doing here?" asked Lucy from Arthur who was saddling the horses.

"I came to help you" he said. "I'll explain everything to you. But now we have to leave as soon as possible"

Merlin saw that Lucy understood it and and was happy that she didn't object. After a few minutes they were riding. As the sun began to rise they slowed down as they had reached the borders of Camelot.

"Beyond those mountains it's Narnia" said Lucy. Merlin could feel the nervousness in her voice.

"Nervous?" he thought.

"Just scared" Merlin heard Lucy's voice. "I remember the first time I stepped into Narnia.. Through the wardrobe.. I was happy that time. I tried to tell the others about whit I found.. They didn't believe that. I have the same feeling now"

"Lucy" thought Merlin. "They all believed at the end right? You were happy then.. Don't worry girl.. We will help you"

He looked at her and saw that she looked upset. "What is it Lucy?" asked Arthur.

"Nothing" she said. "Just remembered the past"

"Do you like to share it with us?" asked Gwaine who was looking like an idiot at that time.

Lucy seemed to ignore the question. "Come'on" she said. "Let's go"

They rode while talking. "Arthur why did you come?" ashed Merlin who was curious to hear about what happened to this royal prat.

"I was of cause wanted to help you Lucy" said Arthur. "But thought of joining you later with Merlin. Then I heard that Merlin and the two Knights had left Camelot, I decided to come on my own. Cam-" but he broke off by a sudden yell of Lucy.

"Merlin watch-out" cried Lucy. But it was too late. Something pointed hit his shoulder, and Merlin cried out in pain. Through the pain he looked back and saw dozens of brandits following them.

"Quick" he heard Lucy's voice. "Let's go through those trees. We'll be safe"

Merlin's head was throbbing, and he was half conscious. The first thought that occurred to him was that he was in pain. Then he heard Lucy's voice.

'Come'on Merlin, You can hold on. We're almost there" Her words gave him strength to move on. After a minute or two of riding, they slowed down. He had no idea about what's happening around him.

"It's fine... They can't come here. This place is forbidden for them" He heard Lucy.

"Are you sure?" That was Arthur for sure. "Then take off Merlin"

Merlin felt someone lifting him off the horse and lying him down. One thing he knew for sure. He was in pain.
