Merlin: *holds her*

Helaine: *walks in* Arthur, I'm not an imposter. It's really me.

Elaine:*back in human form, bruised everywhere, her right side sliced up, the left side withjust a few scratches, bruises shaped like hands on her hips when Cenred raped her**whimpering*

Arthur:*tense, holds Dani closer* How am I supposed to believe that.

Merlin: *holds her*

Dani: *looks up at him*

Helaine: I understand if you no longer love me. But it is me. I'm the only one who knows about the meadow. Besides Merlin. If I was an imposter, I would have to know magic, which I don't.

Elaine:*whimpers* M-Merlin...*sleeping* M-Merlin save me...don't let him...no...no...don't...stop...stop him Merlin.....

Arthur: you're lying. Why on earth would a magic user admit that they have magic!? Especially if they're an imposter on\f the Queen! They'd know that that would get them killed. *rocking Dani*

Merlin: I'm here.

Helaine: I don't know any magic. I swear. It's really me. How can I make you see it's me?

Elaine:*squirms* Merlin...stop him...please...don't let him r-r-r...stop him...*asleep*

Arthur: List ten things that only my Helaine would know.

Merlin: *touches her shoulder*

Helaine: You got taken by Cenred and you were raped, you turned into a donkey and didn't come out of the castle all day, I lied once about who I was before we got together, we found my parents dead in the woods you took me in your arms and comforted me saying you would always be there, your favorite colors are blue and red, you told me we couldn't be together and broke both our hearts to keep us safe. You are a great king, but you still turn to your father for guidance, you used to hate Merlin, but then you got along. My fear is losing you. *tears fill eyes at this* I told you once that I was terrified of you leaving me for someone better but you quickly dismissed that thought and told me that would never happen. *tears fall and turns away curling into herself like she does when she's upset and doesn't want Arthur to see her cry*
