Hey guys/girls. Here is the first chapter and all I can say is enjoy it.
Oh and please take into account that I am dyslexic, but don't let that put you off. Give me and my fic(s) and chance yah. Hope you enjoy, please review.
They were everywhere. No one saw it coming, not even Morgana. Vampires had walked out of the fog like they were the gates of hell. It was a quiet day. Arthur shouted at Merlin, Gwen did her work; Morgana shouted at Uther, Uther shouted back and Gaius attended to Morgana's nightmares. It was just a normal day. Then nightfall came. The vampires had walked through the fog. The knights couldn't see, so the vampires easily ripped their necks open and feasted on their first prays of the night. They then made their way slowly towards the castle, going into people's houses as they went. The bells rang when they tried the pub. Someone had escaped and managed to get the message to the bell tower, but sadly, that person didn't live to be reworded. The vampires then walked towards the castle, seeking more food. More blood. Some kicked the door down and walked in; others scrambled up the castle walls and jumped on the knights, patrolling at the top.
Morgana, Gwen, Arthur, Merlin and Uther ran through the corridors, trying to get refuge in the main hall with the others.
Suddenly, a vampire jumped down from the ceiling and went for Morgana. She screamed. However, Arthur jumped in the way and sliced through the dead man's body. The vampire was still alive, but would be unconscious for some time.
"Honestly, Morgana, you're such a girl. Screaming as you die. Tut, tut." Morgana scowled and hit Arthur on the arm, instantly making him rub it.
"Arthur Pendragon you prat, you –" She did get to finish her sentence.
"Sire's." Everyone looked down the corridor to see Gaius. Merlin couldn't be more relived. His mentor (and father figure) was alive. He didn't get time to hug him. Uther spoke up.
"Gaius, there must be a way of destroying these bloody creatures."
"Lovely to see you're still alive to sire, and to answer your question, I only have limited information on these creatures, which are known as vampires."
"What, like the one Arthur thought lived under his bed when he was five." Morgana laughed. Merlin snapped his head up to listen. Arthur scared; he was so going to hold this agents him.
"Morgana!" Arthur whispered harshly.
"You though there was a Vampire under you bed." Merlin couldn't help but laugh. He suddenly forgot everything else and just laughed. Even Gwen was finding it hard not to.
"Merlin! You better now pray that the vampires get to you before I do!" Merlin just ignored Arthur and carried on laughing. When Merlin did stop laughing, Arthur walked at him and pinned him agents the wall and put his sword to his throat. Merlin calmed down a little, but was chuckling now.
"Enough, you two." Barked Uther. He then turned to Gaius, seeking advice. The question of what to do was not asked, but was in the air.
"Well sire, the creatures dislike garlic that is how I have managed to stay alive. If we could hold them here until sunrise, then they will burn in the sun light or run and hid." Uther shook his head, understanding for what had to be done. Even the safe were not safe. Vampires were everywhere in Camelot. IN Camelot.
"You boy." Uther said, to Gaius and Arthur's, horror pointing at Merlin. "Take Morgana and her maid and get them out of Camelot, do not return until sunrise. Do I make myself clear, boy?" Merlin's pale face became even paler. Look after Morgana and Gwen... More like Morgana and Gwen look after him. Without magic, Merlin could fight to protect his life, let alone two other lives as well. However, Merlin couldn't say no to the king... Well, he could, but he would be punished. Say no, it's easier. Say no, say no, say no.
"Yes sire. Cristal clear." Arthur was taken aback by Merlin's sudden braveness.
"Good. Now go!" Merlin nodded then led the girls down the corridor, running faster than they were before.
Merlin was doing a good job. Morgana and Gwen were still alive and as a bonus, so was he. And no magic what so ever.
They ran through the forest, dogging the trees as they went. They jumped down off a log and into a clearing.
When suddenly, a vampire jumped out of nowhere, at lightning speed, down onto Morgana, pinning her to the ground trying to bit her wrist.
She was screaming her head off, thinking it was the end. However, Merlin suddenly hit the blood-sucking creature over the head with a big, sharp piece of wood, knocking it unconscious.
"You alright?" Merlin said, holding his hand out t her. Morgana nodded shakily, taking Merlin's hand. He pulled her to her feet in under a second. Morgana never knew he was that strong. Gwen ran up to Morgana to check if she was all right. She was fine, just a bit shaken.
Suddenly, the vampire that Merlin knocked out jumped up off the ground. At lightning speed, it ran at Merlin, knocking both girls out of the way and pinned him to the tree.
What made Gwen scream was the fact that they vampires fangs were in Merlin's neck.
Whilst Merlin's blood was being drained out of him, he found it hard to breath. His vision was blurry. He knew the girls were watching he tried to tell them to run, but it just came out in a whimper. Suddenly, Morgana threw a rock at the back of the vampires head. The vampire snapped his head up to attention. He let go of Merlin and walked over towards the girls slowly. As the vampire let go of Merlin, Merlin fell to the ground with a thump.
Merlin looked up and saw that the vampire was going for Morgana and Gwen. He remembered what Uther wanted him to do. Get them out. Make sure there safe. Protect them. That was all he had to do. Protect. He wasn't going to fail at that if it was the last thing he did.
Merlin stood up. He put one blooded hand to the side of his head and the other stretched out in front of him, as if he was aiming to fire something at the vampire.
Merlin suddenly felt a surge of power build up inside him. He pushed all his anger, all his thoughts, everything at the vampire. Especially the pain. Suddenly, the vampire let out a scream of pain. He put his hands on his ears and screamed in some much pain, Merlin could feel it from where he was standing. The vampire soon dropped to the floor dead, and properly dead this time.
Merlin dropped his hands to his side. He suddenly realised that he was puffing for air. Merlin looked up from the dead vampire and looked at Gwen and Morgana. No one knew what had just happened, but he could tell that they were grateful or what he had just done. Merlin thought that what he did was something to do with his magic.
However, he was wrong.
Merlin suddenly let a horrifying scream of pain. He fell to the floor in which Morgana and Gwen were by his side in seconds. Merlin let out another scream of pain.
"What's happening to him?" Asked Morgana, hoping Gwen might know, thanks to her little knowledge on vampires. However, Morgana had some too, and she knew what was happening, she just wanted someone else to say it. However, all Gwen did was stare at her, knowing that she knew.
Merlin was turning into a vampire.
"Maybe Gaius could do something or..."
"Gaius!" Merlin screamed out. Obviously, he remembered his guardian.
"No Merlin, Gaius isn't here, just me and Gwen." Morgan said, trying to calm him down.
"Is there anything we can do to help?" Morgana asked, holding Merlin down as he moved around viscously on the bare ground. Gwen shook her head.
"Just be there for him." Morgana couldn't believe this. She couldn't see Merlin killing someone and draining their blood. Never. However, Morgana remembered Merlin had said one.
'Never say never.'
Morgana watched in horror as Merlin rolled around, crying out in pain.
The pain was too much for Merlin. He knew that he should fight agents whatever was growing inside him. However, he was in so much pain, he wished he were dead...
Merlin stopped fighting.
... And his wish just came true.
Merlin fell into the blackness, with its sweet smell of blood.
Morgana and Gwen stayed with Merlin, whilst he fell into the darkness of a vampire. His former self, turning into nothing but a shadow of the shadow that he was becoming.
Well that was hard to write. Took me sometime getting round to this, but I did it in the end.
Next chapter will be up a.s.a.I.c (As Soon As I Can).
Please review.
