My Magical Wish (Merlin) (On Going)

The Poisoned Chalice: A Little Too Late

Hello everyone! I do hope you are having a fantastic Summer. I am so sorry I haven't updated in a while. My laptop was completely broken and I had to get it repaired. It took 3 weeks until it was fixed.

I am in this Broadway Musical Review and I have happy to say that I have two main solos in two songs. I will try harder to update this story and my Phantom of the Opera story quicker, because it is Summer. However, sadly Summer is almost over and school will start again. Please continue to have patience with me.

If you have any art work or posters for my stories, please send them to me!

Also, please check out my Twitter page, my YouTube channel, and my Polyvore page to see posters and what clothes Sam is wearing in each chapter. Anyways, do not forget to favorite, follow, review, and enjoy this chapter.

Also, I do not own anything except my OC Sam.

3rd POV

Minutes felt like hours and the sun was about to set soon. Merlin knew Sam's time was almost up. Sam's face was getting paler, her hands were shaking even more, and her beautiful brown hair was losing color. Merlin looked at the rash on his sister's arm to see that it was growing bigger.

"Keep holding on Sam. I cannot lose you," whispered Merlin.

Gaius sighed as he looked sadly at the boy. He knew how much Sam meant to Merlin and it would break his heart when Sam was gone forever. Their heads snapped up when the Physician's Chamber doors opened to reveal a destress Gwen. She was gone for 30 minutes to find out where Arthur was.

"She hasn't got much longer. Has Arthur got the flower?" asked the old man.

Gwen shook her head sadly and replied, "I don't know. Uther won't allow anyone to see him." She paused for a moment when Sam groaned and moved slightly on the bed.

Merlin grabbed his sister's hand again and asked desperately, "Is there nothing we can do to help her out?"

Gaius continued to dab Sam's head with the cool wet cloth as he replied, "Only the leaf of the Mortaeus flower can save her."

"And we have to find out if Arthur has it." Gwen paused for a moment, before she realized what she must do to save Sam. "I could sneak into the dungeon."

Merlin immediately jumped up from his chair as cried out, "What! Gwen you can't!"

"Merlin is right. That would be very dangerous," said Gaius.

Gwen narrowed her eyes as she said with determination, "I've got to. Sam will die if I don't."

"Then let me come with you," Merlin suggested.

Gwen shook her head. "No Merlin, it will be suspicious if both of us go to the dungeons together." Merlin sighed and looked down. He felt so hopeless and he could not do anything to help Sam. Gwen sensed his distress, so she placed her hand on his shoulder to comfort him. Merlin immediately looked up when he felt her hand. His breath stopped as he stared right into Gwen's dark eyes. "I promise you, I will bring the flower and we will save your sister. You have to trust me."

Merlin turned to Sam when he heard her struggling breath and groaned in pain.

Merlin looked back at Gwen and said softly, "Please be careful."

Gwen softly smiled at the young wizard and rushed out of the room. Merlin turned back at his sister to see she was getting worse. His only hope was that Gwen could reach Arthur and retrieve the flower, before it is too late.

A few minutes later, after fetching some food from the kitchen without being notice, Gwen slowly walked down the Wrought Iron Stairway that lead to the dungeons. Gwen swallowed as she approached the guard. In her head, she was hoping she could trick him and deliver the food to Arthur.
