Samantha pulled the hood of her black cloak over her head, walking quickly and quietly through the streets of Camelot. She was following the Knights of Camelot to where Morgana was suspected to be hiding. The dress she was wearing made walking fast slightly more difficult than usual, but it was dark and that meant it was less likely that she would be seen. She was following them because she was worried about Mordred. Mordred was her courtier and he was also a Druid.

“Lay her down on her bed, I'll do what I can.” Gaius said, immediately going to get medicines.
Merlin came running into the room, yelling “Where’s Samantha? Let me see my sister!” He came to an abrupt stop at the sight of Mordred sitting by his sister’s bed, holding her hand. “You.” Merlin hissed. “You did this to her.”
