The First Thread

The first time it happened, I believed it was mere luck. Purely luck that he was the only one unaffected by the enchantment; there were no signs of cobwebs on him! Luck that the rope holding the chandelier broke, trapping the sorceress beneath it. And luck that he'd been standing beside me with reflexes sharp enough to pull me from the path of that dagger.

I am grateful. He did just save my life. But that doesn't mean I want the annoying brat forever underfoot. Still, perhaps it will give me the opportunity to teach him some discipline and respect.


A/N: After being pulled sideways into the Merlin fandom, I finally watched the pilot episode, and loved it. I then had the idea of writing a 100 word drabble for each episode, and so here we are. I hope you enjoyed it. I have the next two written, but would like some feedback, and possibly a Beta (see my profile) before I post the next. Very much looking forward to watching The Poisoned Chalice next!

If you have read and have time, please review. Thanks!
