The Destiny of two

Chapter 91 ~ True Love

Merlin suddenly bursts into the room. 

He looks at me, "You look beautiful."

"Thanks," I say 

"Okay, is there a reason you are interrupting our Girl's day?" Jules asks

"I need your help, Liv. Well, Arthur needs your help." Merlin says

"I'm sure he's doing fine on his own," I say 

"I don't have time to explain. You're gonna have to trust me." Merlin says, "Arthur does love you."

"Then why did he say he loves that Vivian chick," Jules asks

"Trust your feelings," Merlin says.

"Yeah, I ain't doing that again," I say 

"He's been enchanted; none of his feelings is genuine,"  Merlin says.

"You couldn't tell me that sooner?" I ask 

"I thought I could sort it out alone," Merlin replies. "You need to break the spell, or his death will be real. Search your heart Olivia; you know who he loves." 

I look at Jules. "Do you think I should?" 

"Go, Liv, if you know he loves you and if you love him. It's worth fighting for." Jules replies

"Okay, let's go," I say.

Merlin and I run out of the room.

"Wait up! I ain't, missing this," Jules calls.

Merlin and Jules walk away to I don't even know where.  I walk straight to Arthur's tent. I was about to walk in when Gaius walks out. He looks worried.

"What's wrong, what is it?" I ask 

"He is badly wounded," 

"How badly?" I ask 

"Broken rib," Gaius explains.

I sigh and walk into the tent.

"Ah! Have you finally come to wish me luck?" I ask 

"No, I have not", I reply

"Honestly, that is rather rude," Arthur says grumpily.

"Then let me make it up to you," I say 

I walk to him and push him against the poll of the fence. I kiss him. I felt him fighting back; his whole body was tense. Eventually, he stops fighting, and his body loosens; his arms wrap around me, and I put mine around his neck; he tips me back gently. The kiss got deeper.  He pulls away and looks at me; I run my hand down to his face. He pulls me up and stares into my eyes; I do the same.

Suddenly he grunts in pain. I hold him up.

"What am I doing?" He asks.

"You're in a fight. To the death, and you're losing."  

Arthur raises his eyebrows. "But...."

I put my hand up to his face. "I don't have time to explain, just live. Live for me, Arthur. I need you; I cannot lose you." 

Some trumpets sound. I look back at Arthur.

"You look beautiful, by the way." 

I kiss him again. "Live, for me." 

I turn and walk out of the tent.

~Merlin's Pov~

I walk back into the tent and help Arthur get ready. We walk out of the tent and to the entrance of the arena. The crowd applauds.
