CHAPTER ELEVEN

Drugging Merlin was not something that Gaius did not exactly want to do. Gaius knew Merlin was hiding something, but he thought Merlin would come to tell Guais in time. That was until Merlin came running downstairs with a wild look in his eyes. What Gaius asked what was wrong he stuttered something about the great dragon and ran out the door. Gaius had only seen Merlin this frantic on a rare accations; Merlin had been through alot and it took much to shake him. Something was wrong and Gaius needed to know what. As soon as Merlin left he set to work. He brewed a truth potion.

Now that he had given Merlin the potion, he would have a few minutes of abloulte truth from Merlin. As Merlin spoke the spell would drain his energy until Merlin fell asleep. If it was nothing, which was unlikely, yet if it was he would remeber nothing. If it was something, he would not know that Gaius knew whatever he was hiding. He would awake and just think he drank to much.

He did not exactly know what he expected Merlin to say, but going off to meet Morgana was certainly not anything close to what his mind could come up with. He shook off his shock. The encantment worked best when he got no reaction to what Merlin was saying. He forced himself to keep a calm face; which was not exactly hard after working for Uther for many years.

"Yes. May I ask why you were talking to Morgana?" Gaius asked as he put down the jug.

Merlin sighed dreamly "Because I love her."

Gaius nodded. Another thing he was not expecting. An enchantment was the first thing that came to his mind. He needed to know more. "What did you two talk about.?" Gaius asked

"Morgana told me she wanted me to start a war betwwen Camelot and Marica. She said it would weaken Camelot and make it vonerable. So she could take over Camelot." He paused "You know that I am going to have to tell Morgana I told you all this?" Merlin replied

Gaius nodded "I understand, but do you really want to take over Camelote? Especially how much work you put into saving it."

Merlin shook his head "No, I really hate the idea and dread the thought of it. The only reason I agreed was to make Morgana happy." He rested his chin on his arms and sighed "Her smile is amazing. It is one of the best things in the world. The way her eyes sparkled-"

"Yes," Gaius interupted. He really did not want to spend what little time he had with Merlin babbling. "But are you really going to ruin everything you worked for the past few years just to please Morgana?"

Merlin yawned "I would do anything for her. I love her so much and want nothing more then to make her pleased. After all I put her though, it is all I can to do to make up for it. How can I refuse her anything she asks?"

Gais watched as Merlin's eyes started to drop. He did not have much time left but atleast now he was sure it was a love enchantment. Yet, there were hundreds of them. He needed more imformation before Merlin fell asleep."

"When did you start having such feelings for Morgana?" he asked

"I was gathering hurbs for you then I just woke up in Morgana's hut. At first I was confused because she healed my wounds and offered me water." Merlin closed his eyes for a few seconds but shook himself awake. "Then later she aproched me with something and pricked me. When I woke up I realized how much I loved her."

"That does not seem strange to you just to wake up loving her?" Gaius asked

Merlin shook his head "No, why?"

"Nevermind, how do you two communicate?" Gaius replied quickly

Merlin rested his head on his arms. "We.. she sends me papers under my pillow. And umm... He went silent for a second and Gaius thought he was alseep, but then he spoke one last time. "I don't want to hurt you Gaius. I will plead with Morgana to let you live... am sure she will allow you to live if you agree to not try and stop her. I want to to be..."

He fell asleep as Gaius sat there thinking about everything he was told.
