I own nothing in the show Merlin or any of the characters although Arthur…

"Yes, once again my day sucked." Rhiannon sighed as she flopped onto the couch beside her dog Lucky, he looked up at her with a disinterested glance before resting his head on his paws once more and falling asleep. "Well you can't complain can you?" She accused him "Got a pretty sweet life here, fed well and get to sleep all day. You don't have to work all week in a terrible job, feeling like your life is passing you by without you actually living it do you?" Now she knew she was pathetic, she was actually envious of the dog.

Rhiannon was twenty-three years old and already felt forty, she worked as a receptionist in a dental surgery and was constantly dealing with obnoxious children who hated going to the dentist almost as much as she hated working there. Not exactly how she had planned her life to turn out. Rhiannon had always felt like an outsider, she had never really belonged anywhere and had yet to find the right guy.

Rhiannon had always fantasised as a child of finding a man just like the Knights of the Round Table, who still knew the meaning of chivalry and honour. She had long since given up on that dream believing that it was childish and unrealistic. Men in the 21st century were not like that, and she had to learn to accept it.

As she drifted off to sleep that night Rhiannon had dreams of a tall man in armour that shone in the sunlight that glinted off his sandy coloured hair.

The next morning Rhiannon went through the same routine she had followed for two years; get up, have coffee, get dressed, feed the dog then drive to work. It was second nature for her and everything she did in the morning became a big blur of events that all moulded into one. She got in the car and yawned massively, stretching her arms as high as they would reach in the car. Clearly one coffee wasn't enough this morning to wake her up. It may have had something to do with her interrupted sleep the previous night, she had tossed and turned all night dreaming of a strange man who intimidated and captivated her all at once.

Rhiannon was lost in her thoughts of the mysterious, handsome stranger from her dream as she drove the familiar road to the dental surgery, however she was so deep in thought she neglected to stay alert driving and watch the road. She looked ahead and saw a young child run across the road suddenly a few metres away from her vehicle travelling 60km/h on the main road. She gasped and jerked the wheel, swerving the car sharply to avoid the child at any cost. Rhiannon let out a gush of air as she saw the child run safely to the other side of the road and into the arms of a relieved looking woman, but her relief was short lived. Her car was swerving out of control, the wheel being ripped brutally from her grip jerking her arms sending a spasm of pain up them. Rhiannon realised she was in a great deal of danger when she saw a tree looming closer and closer by the second. Her brain suddenly kicked in and she was able to think more clearly, she stepped on the brakes, her only worry was stopping the car before the tree stopped it for her, she completely forgot about the braking distance required to stop and the speed she was already travelling at. As soon as she had put her foot down hard on the brake, she realised with a growing sense of dread that it was the wrong thing to do.

The car lurched to a stop, the front wheels stopping and skidding in the dirt as the front wheels dug into the ground and the back wheels were lifted up and the car threatened to tip all the way over. The tree had provided an unfortunate barrier for the car and had smashed the entire front leaving Rhiannon trapped in the front seat, lying unconscious with her head bleeding against the steering wheel.

Rhiannon was out cold and at this early time of the morning there was barely anyone around to aid her. She was wedged in the car, unconscious as if she was merely sleeping.

This is going to be about Merlin the TV show although I hope to make it more about Rhiannon and Arthur for the time being. Not sure though, I think she might have a bit of a fling with Lancelot or Gwaine? Hmm as you can tell I haven't figured that much out yet! Please give me your thoughts on who she should get together with.

Thanks xoxo
