A/N: So I started a new story. It has been in my head for some time now and I finally wrote it down, it took so long because I don't want to have to many stories that are in progress. But back to this story, it's a reincarnation story. Aithusa is also in this story and I don't know if Aithusa is a boy or a girl, but in this story it's a she. Further there are some things I want to explain to you (look at the note for that) and I hope you will enjoy the story.

Warning: This is slash, so if you don't like it then don't read.

Note: I decided not to change names, because that would be confusing, so the druids don't know that Merlin is Emrys' 'real' name and they don't realise the connection between Arthur and the others and 'king Arthur' and his knights.

Disclaimer: Isn't it kind of obvious that I own Merlin... Wait! no, I mean I don't own Merlin... *sigh* my mind knows it, but my heart just don't want to believe it.

Arthur yawned, he hadn't slept much that night. He and Gwaine had been drinking the night before, even when they knew they had to go to school the next day. Now he didn't even know how that idiot had convinced him.

It was his first class for that day and he groaned thinking he still had a whole day ahead of him. When he saw Gwaine that morning he knew that the other felt even worse then he, not that it was strange, Gwaine had almost twice as much as he had

'Arthur... Arthur!' She had been calling his name and he finally glared to the other side and met Gwen's smiling face.

'What?'

Gwen was really enthusiastic and almost jumped up and down in her chair. 'Have you heard about the new student?'

The blond frowned. 'No, so we're getting a new student. Boy or girl?'

She shrugged. 'Don't know, I have asked around and no one knows, even Morgana doesn't know.'

Arthur grinned. If his sister didn't know anything about the new student then no one knew.

Before the blond could reply he heard gasps coming from his classmates. He and Gwen quickly turned around to see what had happened. Both of them stared in shock at the person that had just walked inside the classroom.

It was a slender girl with blond almost white hair that reached her lower back, her skin was almost the colour of snow and her big dark blue eyes shined happily into the room. She wore a wide white long sleeved shirt, light blue jeans and a pair of white high heels.

Arthur stared with open mouth at the girl, she was one of the most beautiful creatures he had ever seen and that says much considering that he was gay. It was clear that she was the new student Gwen talked about, otherwise he would have noticed her before.

Mrs. Crest coughed, trying to get her class' attention. 'As you may have noticed we have a new student.' The girl with white hair walked further into the classroom and stood next to the teacher. 'You should introduce yourself.'

She nodded and she began to speak, her voice was soft and warm. 'Hello I'm Aithusa Adams, nice to meet all of you.' She ended with a warm smile.

'So now that she has introduced herself we can begin.' The teacher said and then the older woman pointed to the seat next to Gwen. 'You can sit next to Gwen.' Aithusa walked towards her place and then the teacher turned to Gwen. 'Gwen please show her around.'

'Of course.' His friend said with a smile.

The teacher started her class, but Aithusa's new classmates kept glaring at the new girl.

At lunchtime Gwen showed the new girl the school, causing Arthur to go to their lunch table on his own.

The rest was already there and he slowly walked towards them. 'Hi.'

They looked up and Elyan immediately frowned. 'Where's Gwen?' Arthur rolled his eyes, Elyan was way to protective of his little sister.

'She's fine, she's showing the new girl around.'

Morgana looked up and her eyes shined with the same curiosity it always had. 'So it's a girl, how is she?'

Arthur sat down and looked at his sister. 'There's only one word to describe her: hot.'

Gwaine laughed. 'And I always thought that you were gay.'

Arthur shook his head. Gwaine liked just like him guys, not that the two of them were together, they had been friends for longer then Arthur could remember and both of them liked different kind of guys. 'And I still am, so I guess it means a lot if I think a girl is hot.'

'Now I'm really curious.' Morgana said while her eyes shined even stronger.

'When aren't you that.' Leon said teasing his girlfriend. The woman glared at her boyfriend and he gave her a quick kiss. 'Doesn't mean that I don't love you.' She smiled and kissed him back.

'So what does she look like?' Percival asked ignoring the now deeply kissing couple.

'Light blond hair, dark blue eyes, a pale skin... you will see for yourself, I think Gwen will take her here.'

And Arthur was right, ten minutes later an happy Gwen and the new girl walked towards their table. Arthur laughed seeing the others stare at the new girl and he even heard Percival whisper. 'Beautiful.' Gwen was still talking when the two girls reached the table.

'Hi guys.' Gwen said and she quickly placed a kiss on Lance's lips.

'Hi.' He whispered back to her and they stared a moment into each others eyes before Gwen turned back to Aithusa.

'Aithusa these are my friends...' All of them introduced themselves to her.

'So do you like it here?' Percival asked when she sat down at the table.

She nodded enthusiastic. 'I love it here, the city and the school are so beautiful.' Arthur could only agree with her, their city was surrounded with large green woods and the school was renovated last year.

Morgana changed places so she sat in front of the new girl and stared at her. 'So were did you live before you moved here?'

'London.'

Arthur grinned. 'That's a big change.' The blond hair girl nodded. 'So why did you leave?'

She frowned. 'Uhm... it's because...' She didn't go further and Arthur immediately regretted asking her that question, she looked sad and helpless.

'You don't have to answer if you don't want to.' He added and she looked down at the table, not wanting to meet the others' eyes.

Lunchtime soon ended and all of them went to class again, Gwen had almost all classes together with Aithusa and she took it upon herself to introduce the girl to everyone she knew and she knew a lot of people.

'Hi, Arthur!' He was halfway to his car when he heard someone shout for him. The blond turned around and saw the new girl walking towards him. He hadn't seen her since lunch, but she looked happy.

He smiled at her. 'So how was your first day here?'

'Great.' Was her only reply and she smiled back at him. She stepped closer to him and stared intense in his eyes. He looked uncomfortable back at her and gulped, not knowing what he should do now.

'Ehmm... is something wrong?'

She broke eye contact and shook her head. 'I'm sorry, you just remind me of someone I knew.'

'Okay...' She's strange, really strange, 'but I kind of like her, it feels as if we have met before.' He frowned by his own thoughts, he was certain he had never met her before, but it still felt like he had. '… Have we met somewhere before?'

Her eyes started shining and he expected her to say yes, but she didn't. 'Not in this life.' Was her only reply and she just smiled at him.

What kind of reaction was that? 'Right... How do you go home, do you have a car or do you want me to give you a ride home?'

She smiled. 'Don't worry, my brother is picking me up. He can be here any minute now.' Suddenly she had an far away look in her eyes, like she was lost in a distant memory. '… I'm curious if you really are him.' She whispered.

'Like who do I look?'

She looked up and blinked in surprise for a moment, she hadn't noticed that he had heard her. 'Oh nothing.'

He opened his mouth to ask further, but closed it again when a car stopped next to them. 'That's my ride.' Aithusa said and wanted to open the car door, but stopped when the door on the driver's side opened and a man came out of the car.

Arthur gasped when he looked at Aithusa's brother, he had short black hair, the same pale skin as his sister, bright deep blue eyes, he wore a tight blue shirt, wide black pants and a red scarf. Arthur stared stunned at the raven's face, at the bright eyes, full red lips and... he then noticed something that didn't seem to fit on the boy's body, a thin long scar ran across his neck.

He was so stunned by the boy that he hadn't noticed how the raven's eyes had widened in surprise by the sight of the blond, before turning soft again and a smile spread over his face.

The girl ran to her brother and jumped in his arms. 'Brother.' She said and the siblings started to laugh.

Aithusa let go of her brother and both turned to the blond. The raven smiled and gave the blond his hand. 'Nice to meet you, I'm Merlin.'

Arthur stared at the hand, before grabbing it and smiling back at the other. 'Hi, I'm Arthur.'

They let go of each others hand and Arthur felt a bit disappointed when Merlin turned back to his car and before the raven got in the car he gave Arthur one last smile with the words. 'Thank you for looking after my sister.'

Arthur nodded and saw the other disappear into the car. 'Then I will see you tomorrow.' He heard Aithusa say, but he kept staring at the raven inside the car and the girl also stepped in the car. Merlin started the car and Aithusa waved at him when they drove off.

He watched them disappear out of sight and he let out a breath he didn't even know he held in. He slowly turned around, but suddenly two girls jumped on him.

'Who was that?!' His sister asked, her eyes filled with curiosity, she always remind him of a cat, sneaking around and jumping on her unaware prey, sadly most of the time he was her prey.

Gwen stared with begging eyes at him and he sighed. 'Aithusa's brother.'

'He's handsome.' Gwen said and Arthur could only agree with her.

'Arthur, you're blushing!' Morgana said while smirking. Arthur gaped at her, before turning away.

'I'm not!'

'Yeah you're!' Gwen screamed and both girls laughed at him and Gwen spoke through her laughter. 'Don't... don't worry Arthur, he's... really handsome so don't worry about it!'

'Come on Gwen let's leave that loverboy alone, we're going shopping.' Morgana dragged her friend with her to Morgana's car and before getting in she waved at her brother. 'Don't forget about tonight, okay!'

'Yeah, yeah, I will remember.' And so the girls drove off and Arthur walked to his car, still hiding that he was blushing and also drove off..

'So you mean to say that Aithusa also has a handsome brother.' Elyan asked.

Gwen nodded, she and her brother were sitting in the back of Morgana's car, while Morgana was driving and Arthur sat besides her. 'Yeah, but I still wonder how he can have black hair when she has white hair.'

'I'm more interested what they are doing here.' Morgana replied from the drivers seat and she wore a evil smile on her face that Arthur immediately recognized as the smile she used when she was going to dive in someones past.

They soon reached their destination and parked their car on the side of the road. They got out and walked to the meeting place.

'So what do you think is this special announcement that Adrian called us all here for?' Gwen asked while pulling her scarf closer around her neck, it was a cold night and according to the weather forecast it wouldn't be long before snow would fall.

Arthur pulled up his shoulders and Elyan did the same, while Morgana pouted. 'I also don't know, Adrian didn't even wanted to tell me.'

They walked further and after ten minutes they reached the clearing they were supposed to go, most of the elders were already there. In the middle of the clearing stood a large old tree and it has been said that Emrys himself had planted it there, it's now called by the name of the tree of dreams, they say that if you kiss under that tree two lovers will always stay together, but no one really knows if that's true. The druids had used the clearing since ancient times and it was still used when they gathered.

'Arthur, Morgana!' They turned around and looked at the person that just had called them. Arthur smiled seeing his mother walk towards them. 'I'm glad you're on time. Oh, hello Elyan, Gwen.'

'Hello Ygraine.' Elyan replied back and Gwen only smiled to the older woman.

Yes, because Ygraine is a druid that also makes Arthur and Morgana druids, the same goes for Elyan and Gwen.

Arthur ran through the woods following his mother and sister when they went to the meeting. He loved to go, because then he could play with Elyan and Gwen and he really like playing with them. He ran to his mother and grabbed her hand.

'He mommy.' He asked and Ygraine looked at her son. 'Why doesn't dad come with us?'

'Because he's an idiot!' Morgana replied in an angry voice.

'Morgana! You can't say things like that!' Her mother replied back and mother and daughter looked angry at each other.

'But I'm right, daddy would never believe in magic!'

Ygraine sighed and sank through her knees so she could look in her daughter's eyes. 'But you still can't say things like that. It's true that your father would never believe magic, so we can never tell him, okay?' The last she asked both Arthur and Morgana and both children nodded. Ygraine then smiled. 'Good, then lets go, we can't let the others wait.'

Not that Arthur minded being a druid, he liked all the other druids... no not everyone. He looked at the boy that was glaring at him, Mordred. Mordred was one year older then Arthur but he just loved to get on Arthur's nerves, their fights started since the first time they met.

Adrian stood in front of the tree of dreams and cleared his throat. 'My friends, I have called you all together here today to make an important announcement. What we have been waiting for for so many years now is finally going to happen, Emrys will come back to us together with his king.'

Arthur couldn't believe his ears, the mighty king Arthur and Emrys were coming back to live, were going to be reborn, the druids had been waiting for that day for almost 1500 years and now when he's alive it's going to happen. He was just stunned.

Suddenly one of the older men came forward. 'And are they already born or will they be born in the near future?'

Adrian frowned and shook his head. 'It was not clear, but I think they will be born in the near future, but what I'm certain about it that they will live here in our town, the city that is build on the remains of what once was Camelot.'

The people whispered to each other with excitement. Their mighty lord was finally coming back to them.

'But why is he coming back...' He heard Morgana whisper beside him and he looked at her. 'Will their be a great danger that will threaten the world?'

Arthur hadn't thought about it like that, there would indeed be a special reason why the mighty Emrys would come back to them. 'You think something is going to happen?'

Morgana looked startled to the side, she hadn't noticed that her brother had heard her words and she eventually sighed. 'It's the only reason I can think of that he would come back.'

He nodded, but before he could say anything Adrian spoke again. 'So I ask all of you to look for any signs that a person could be Emrys or king Arthur, for as it can be that they are already among us.' The old druid looked at his people. 'Now go, tonight their won't be any lessons or rituals, go to your homes and prepare yourselves for our great leader is coming back to us.'

They did what their leader told them and went back to their homes, talking enthusiastic while doing so.

Arthur and the others quickly went to find their parents, the first one they met was Ygraine who ran towards them. She kissed both her children on the cheek and smiled. 'Isn't it great!'

Arthur smiled at his mother. 'Yeah.' He looked at his sister, who was deep in thoughts, probably thinking about what disaster could come upon them. 'Let's go home.'
