"Merlin, you're talking way too fast! There's no time for this!" exclaimed Morgana. "Arthur is out there fighting the knights and here you are talking nonsense!"

"Let me explain again," Merlin said slowly. "You are some sort of vessel or life force for this curse. If you die, then the curse is lifted. I don't think you cast this curse on your own though. No, maybe someone else cast it and made you the vessel."

"Merlin, are saying that I should die? How could you? We've been friends all these years, you kept my secret, I helped you in Ealdor, why?" asked Morgana, confusion and worry in her voice.

"Morgana, listen. I don't want you dead. I do have a plan," said Merlin. "Listen."

Moments passed…

Morgause screamed," What have you done to her! You lowly peasant boy, unhand my sister and tell me what you have done!"

"Not until you call off this attack and take the curse off Camelot!" demanded Merlin. Morgana was in his arms, her life slowly draining away because of the poison Merlin had administered to her.

"Unhand my sister!" said Morgause.

"You know what you must do! Now do it!" demanded Merlin once more.

Morgause sighed and whispered words of magic, her eyes glowing gold. The knights immediately fell to the floor and Merlin could no longer feel the effects of the curse upon Camelot.

"Give me my sister. Now!" demanded Morgause.

"No, sister, I will not go to you!" Morgana yelled, her eyes opening. She revealed a vial in her hand and drunk its contents. Merlin had given her the antidote to the poison. It was a very slow-acting poison, slow enough for Morgana to continue using her senses while death slowly crept up on her.

"What is this?" Morgause asked, shock on her face. "Sister, how could you betray me like this?"

"I? Betray you? Let's have a talk about betrayal, sister," said Morgana, eyes filled with shock and hatred. "You made me the unknowing vessel of your curse! I may want Uther dead but that does not mean I want to see my friends, the people I grew up with and have come to know, to die because of a curse you put on me!"

"You do not yet know your importance in the events that have yet to come. Sister, come with me, I will show you the way. The way you must go. The way that shows Uther Pendragon dead! Isn't that what you want?" asked Morgause, pleading with her. "How could you side with this peasant boy? He is only a mere servant!"

"A mere servant who helped me end this curse and attack!" Morgana said. "Now go! Leave this place before Arthur comes. I believe he approaches soon."

"This is not over. Morgana, you will see things my way soon. There is darkness inside you. A darkness I hope to unveil," Morgause snarled. She whispered in the magical language and a large tornado appeared at her spot. The wind died down and the woman was no longer there.

"What happened?" asked Arthur, bursting into the throne room with his knights.

Morgana looked on the verge of tears and she buried her face into Merlin's shoulders to avoid everyone see her shedding tears.

{Author's Note: Hi everyone! So this is my very first fanfiction so I hope you enjoy it. As I watched this amazing show, I would always think that it wasn't entirely Morgana's fault she turned out to be the way she was. Most of the characters played some role in her betrayal, with Merlin poisoning her being the breaking point. So, I just imagined how the story would turn out if Morgana never got poisoned and kidnapped. It doesn't necessarily mean she'll be good or bad. I guess only time, and this story, will!

Please, please, please review! Like I said, this is my first ever fanfic and I would love to know what you all thought of it. More chapters to come hopefully! Now back to my homework...}
