AU: Time Lady Amy, Companion Merlin
… “Things like this don’t happen usually Amy, and that is saying something.” He stared at the red headed woman who was leaning out of a blue box staring intently at him.
“Yes.” She stated calmly, her lips barely parting as spoke.
The young male sighed loudly earning an arched eyebrow off the lady. “That is not an acceptable response, I don’t understand, who are you? What’s happening? How did you even get here?”
She smiled widely, he was feisty, desired a good explanation he seemed to seek out the answers but understand those that others could not. “The responses I could give would not justify the true answers, how about I show you? They won’t even know you’ve gone.” …
… “Some traveller you are can’t even escape a small castle. Typical, thinking you’re in control.” Merlin stated sarcastically.
The time lady stopped in her tracks mid-way up the stairs so she towered over him. “I never get where I intend to go, but where I am in fact needed.”
“Bundle of riddles you are.” Merlin commented, quickly having to stifle a laugh as she turned round and pulled a face at him, “The exits this way.” He commented, before quickly adding “My Lady” Just to annoy her more…
… “The fun had to end at some point Merlin.” She shifted on her feet, unaccustomed to goodbyes yet it was better this way, knowing they would have some sort of life rather than the risk of losing them, however she was sad to see them go. At least this was Merlin’s life back in Camelot, he was a warlock who needed to not just believe in the king, but in himself, and this journey had helped him.
He rolled his head side to side obviously uncomfortable “I don’t want to go.”
She sighed and gave him encouraging words, “I was careful when travelling, you can’t know your direct future, you’ll achieve so much, you need to return back to Camelot.”
He opened his mouth to argue, his words rolled off his tongue, and cut the silence in the air “But what about you?”
The red head looked down not meeting his eyes, “I’ll cope, you’ve got Arthur, I’ve got the Tardis. Two pairs that shouldn’t split for long. Goodbye Merlin.”
“Wait” …
