Marion's POV

Mordred and I are in Camelot with our father. Cerdan getting some supplies before we return to our village. We're druids and have magic. So it isn't safe for us to be in Camelot. But dad assured Mordred and I everything would be fine. But it wasn't.

"Do you have my supplies ready? We must leave the city without delay" dad tells the dad owner.

"Everything you asked for, it's all here" the stall owner says handing him a pouch. Dad hands him a pouch of money. "I'm sorry" the stall owner says and I grab Mordred's hand scared. We see guards appear and run. Dad knocked over a table to slow the guards down and we continued to run.

"Keep up Marion!" dad shouts as we head for the castle.

"Dad, Mordred look out!" I shout as a guard appears with a sword. Mordred pushes me behind and lets out a telepathic scream when the sword cuts him. I scream as tears fill my eyes. Dad picks up Mordred as I hide behind them scared. 'I'm scared, I'm scared' I think in my head. Dad uses a spell to send the guard flying.

He mutters another spell and the gates start to shut. "Marion, take your brother and run" dad orders me. "Run!" he yells and I grab Mordred's good hand. We run through the gates and they close behind us. I spot a cart and lead Mordred to it, we hide behind it.

'We need help' I think.

'Help!' he shouts mentally.

'Help!' we shout together with our telepathy. I spot a young man looking around confused. He must hear us. Mordred sees him too. 'Help us, please' we plead. The man spots us.

'I'm scared' I tell him.

'Please. You have to help us' Mordred adds. Just then guards enter the square. I cling to Mordred repeating that I'm scared.

"Search in there. Take the other side. You, did you see a boy and girl run in here?" a guard demands.

'They're searching for us' Mordred tells the young man.

'Why are they after you?' the young man asks with his mind.

'Because we are like you' I tell him.

'They're going to kill us!' Mordred adds. The young man runs to a side door, looks at the guards, and then nods to us. Telling us to run.

'We can make it, together' I tell Mordred. He nods his head and we run. The guards spot us, but we don't look back. We keep running. We reach the young man and he leads us inside down the vacant corridors. He leads us to a bedroom and we let ourselves in.

"Have you forgotten how to knock, Merlin?!" a woman demands. I see two young women in the room. One dressed like a noble and the other like a commoner. Possibly a servant. It's nice to know the name of our savior. Merlin.

"The guards are after them. I didn't know what to do" Merlin tells her. Suddenly there's a knock on the door and I cling to Merlin scared.

'I'm scared' I think.

"In there" the noble woman says gesturing to a curtain. Merlin leads us to it and we hide behind it. Once we were hidden, the noble woman answers the door. As Mordred collapses in Merlin's arms.
