The Nightmare Begins

Hello, hope you are having a good day. Thank you everyone for voting this story. I hope you will enjoy it. This starts when Merlin goes in to tell Morgana about the druids.

Merlin knocked on the door. Morgana opened it.

"Merlin, come in." Morgana said. Merlin went in and Morgana closed the door.

"Gaius wanted me to give you this." Merlin answered.

"Not that it will help. Merlin, I'm sorry for what I said. I was scared."

"I know and that why I think you should know."

"Know what?"

"I have magic."

"Don't be silly Merlin."

Merlin whispered into his hand and a flame appeared. When Morgana saw it, she gasped.

"Gaius didn't want me to tell you about me, but I can't bear to see you afraid." Merlin said.

"How long have you had it?" Morgana asked.

"I was born with it."

"That's impossible."

"I'm a warlock."

"Then why are you here in Camelot?"

"I don't have to enchant spells to make things happen."

"Like me?"

"Yes. As a child that got me in trouble. I couldn't control it and my mother couldn't stop me, so she sent me here so that Gaius could help me. Now, I use it for good. I use it t protect Arthur. He is the once and future king. He will make magic legal when he becomes king and I must protect him."

"Can you show me?"

"Yes."

"What am I?"

"I don't know. Gaius thinks you're a seer."

"I'm scared Merlin, if Uther finds out..."

"He won't. I'll protect you."

Merlin grabbed Morgana's hands and moved closer to her.

"I won't let him hurt you." Merlin whispered. The two kissed. When they pulled away, both were in tears.

"Can you teach me something right now?" Morgana asked.

"Sure."

Over the next few weeks, Merlin taught Morgana how to control her magic. When Gwen was taken, Morgana went to Merlin.

"Arthur says that he's going to save Gwen." Morgana said.

"And I'm going with him. Don't worry. We'll be safe." Merlin answered.

"You had better."

The two hugged. Gaius cleared his throat and the two pulled away. Merlin left.

"Is there something going on between the two of you?" Gaius asked.

"No." Morgana lied.

"Morgana, what's going on?"

"Nothing. He's just helping me through some things."

Morgana left. When Merlin got home, he served Arthur and helped Gaius. That night, he went to Morgana's chambers. He knocked on the door and Morgana answered.

"Come in." Morgana said. Merlin went in and closed the door. "Gwen's home resting. Thank you, for saving her."

"It's nothing. How are your cuts and scrapes?" Merlin replied.

"Gaius says that they'll heal alright."

"Good."

"He's starting to find out about us, Merlin."

"I know. We may have to tell him the truth."

"What if he tells Uther?"

"He won't."

The two kissed. When they pulled away, Merlin pulled Morgana to his chest. Morgana grabbed his arms.

"I love you." Merlin whispered.

"I love you too." Morgana answered.

"I should go."

"Hold me for a little longer."

"Ok."

Merlin held Morgana against his chest for several minutes. Then he went home. A few hours later, he woke up to someone crying. He sat up and saw Morgana.

"Morgana, what are you doing here?" Merlin asked.

"I had another nightmare. "Morgana answered. Merlin pulled her into his arms and shushed her.

"It's alright, Morgana. It won't happen."

"I can't go back to sleep."

Merlin pulled Morgana so that they laid on top of each other. Morgana laid on Merlin's chest and calmed down. Merlin took the blanket and covered them up. He rubbed Morgana's back with one hand and wrapped the other one around the front of her. Morgana put one arm on top of his and the other one she put on Merlin's chest. Soon Morgana fell asleep. When Merlin woke up, he saw that Morgana was gone. He sighed and sat up. He could still feel Morgana's arm on his. After the battle Jonas and Merlin had, Merlin was very sore. He was walking down a corridor and felt a hand grab his wrist and pull him into a hallway.

"Morgana, what's this about?" Merlin asked.

"I saw your battle with Jonas. Are you alright?" Morgana answered.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. I'm fine."

"If I find out that you are lying to me, you will regret it."

"Fine. You win. My back hurts. My head feels like it's about to explode. Other than that, I'm fine."

"You'd better be. Go have Gaius check you over."

"I already did."

"Good."

"Morgana, remember the night you came to my room with that nightmare?"

"Yes."

"When I woke, I missed you being in my arms. When I look at you, I just want to hold you like I did that night."

"I know. I feel the same way. I should go."

Morgana left. Merlin sighed and left. When the troll was dead, Morgana went to Merlin's chambers. She went in his room and saw him resting in bed. She went to him and kissed his forehead. Merlin moaned and opened his eyes.

"Hey, Merlin. I didn't mean to wake you." Morgana whispered.

"It's not your fault. I would have woken up at some point." Merlin answered.

"I heard that Arthur gave you tomorrow off."

"Mainly because I have a concussion. Jonas hit me in the back of the head with a vase."

"Are you alright?"

"For the most part."

"DO you want to go on a picnic?"

"What will we tell everyone?"

"Arthur and Gwen will be coming with us."

"Oh, ok."

"What?"

"I just want to spend time with you alone."

"I do too but that may happen soon enough."

"I hope so."

"Now, you should take a bath. You stink."

"I will."

The two kissed passionately.

"So, Gaius and Gwen were right, something is going on between the two of you." Arthur said.

This chapter is a little short and choppy but hopefully it will get better. I'm living with my grandparents and I only have season 1,4, and 5 on DVD. The internet isn't good enough for me to watch two or three on Netflix but hopefully when we get our own house, that will change. Please vote for the next mergana story. On ff, you can go to my profile and it's at the top. On AO3, go to chapter two of Mergana POLL. You can vote up to four choices. I'd love to hear from you.
