Alright kiddos! I finally decided to write a story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin, if I did, well I doubt it would be as awesome as it is now.

First Fan Fiction, so be nice! Virtual cookies for those who review!

"Another day, another quest, another dungeon, eh men?" Gwaine laughs as he wakes up receiving glares from the other knights. He looks around and notices something very, very wrong. "Where's Merlin?" The knights, especially Arthur, look around, panicked. They hadn't been conscious very long themselves, and had been too busy piecing together what happened too notice the missing servant. They hear the clicking of footsteps and see the door open. A bruised and bloody Merlin is thrown into the cell.

"Merlin! What happened!" Arthur and the knights jump up to help their friend.

"They wanted to know about Camelot's defenses." He lied. He couldn't tell them the truth, that their captors were some of Nimueh's old followers seeking revenge.

"What did you tell them?" Arthur asked with a stone cold serious look on his face.

"I told them I didn't know anything. That I was a simple servant, nothing more." He hated lying to his friends, but he knew that there was no other way. They turned as the cell door opened. A girl is in the doorway.

"You must hurry. This might be your only chance to escape with your lives."

"Who are you?" Arthur asks apprehensively.

"A friend. Hurry, before they come back." They look at each other, worried. She looks at Merlin and contacts him telepathically. "Trust me Emrys, we don't have much time."

"Hey, I think we should trust her." Merlin looks to Percival for reassurance.

"I agree. That girl cannot cause us much harm, and this may be our only chance." Percival whispers.

"I'm in too." Gwaine says with a laugh as he pulls out an apple.

"If Merlin thinks it safe." Leon says with an unsure shake to his voice.

"All right. All right. Let's go then." Arthur is clearly annoyed. As they head down the dark corridor they hear shouts coming from where the cell had been left empty.

"Run!" The girl takes off, the knights not far behind." She leads them to a secret door that leads outside, the guards in full pursuit. "Æfenhrepsung" The door locks, and the guards are stuck.

"You- you have magic!" Arthur shouts. The girl rolls her eyes.

"You and your knights must leave here. There is a druid camp not far from here. They will help you. Do not be afraid of them Prince Arthur, they will not harm you." The door begins to open. "Go!"

Merlin starts off and turns around. "Thank you."

"Go Emrys. Your bringing magic back to Camelot is all I seek."

"Who are you?"

"Gwendolyn. Do not forget me Emrys."

"MERLIN!"

"I won't." He gives her one last look before running off.

"Merlin. Merlin? Merlin!" Arthur catches him just as he passes out. A group of hooded figures approaches them.

"Do not be afraid. We only wish to help." Arthur nods and the other knights follow.
