This is just some idea that I had. Its just the beginning story might or might not end up being a merthur fanfiction tough it will either way have bromance.
Warning: I`m not sure yet if I`m going to continue it but just so you know that if you choose to follow it or favorite it; you are under the risk of reading a story that I might not get finished.
Disclaimer: I do not own Merlin or any of it`s characters.
Run…escape…hide…
Something he had been told to do…
Run…escape…hide…
Things he had never liked to do…
Run…escape…hide…
Yet, there they were…been said; been told to do them…
Run…escape…hide…
Simple instructions…
Run…escape…hide…
Though he never did as told…
Run…escape…hide…
They sounded tempting after a while.
Run…escape…hide…
As cowardly as it was; that was exactly what he had to do…
If he wanted to be free or live at all…
For once in his life he had understood why she had done it. For once in his life he had not questioned her and he had regretted they had been the last words she had said to him.

Rain fell from the sky as he ran through the forest; he none ending thick forest. He had tripped more than once; trying to get away wasn`t easy.
One accident.
One explosion.
One hidden lab and one nosy Merlin.
That had been all it took; going to the wrong place at the wrong moment in the wrong time. Maybe in some kind of twisted mind this sounded amusing but to him it had cost him everything.
Maybe if he had been a fan of super heroes this wouldn`t be as bad…No never mind…
The cut`s he had gotten in the lab hurt more by the second he felt hot all over even with the wind and rain pouring on him the heat refused to leave him.
He was tired, tired of running.
He climbed a tree in hope the rain was too heavy to see anything; in hope they just passed by below him. To his luck that`s what happened the Ograins were gone. He wasn`t just tired of this little run he was tired of running all his life yeah, maybe he was now been chased more than ever but because he had some little healing speed up powers since little; his mother had been paranoid and so they never stayed in one place long enough; at least not long enough for him. The longest they had stayed in one place had been 2 years and that was when his mother hadn`t know about his powers.
He looked down at his body trying to ease the panting and like he expected he was healed again. Ridiculous was an understatement, cliché was more than just an understatement.
Just that his situation didn`t have much to compare to that of a cliché super-human movies except for the powers and sad story part... Ok so it did have a lot in common…
He hadn`t ask for it he didn`t want it in fact if someone else wanted the powers he would gladly give it to them if it meant having his old life back.
Yesterday; no if he was right it might have been decades ago… There was a forest behind Merlin`s house a very old house it was just him and his mother as long as he could remember.
That was the last house they had moved into. She had said: "Don`t wander into the forest it`s dangerous." "Don`t get close to it, stay inside." There was something oddly familiar about it…like he had been there before. He knew he had been there before.
Before they moved there his mother seemed at lost in where to move he had asked but; no response was given or explanation at all in what was happening. He could rarely leave the house and he wasn`t allowed to go to school for reasons his mother never said. It was all really strange he didn`t get any of it.
Why had they moved into the most dangerous place imaginable? That was the question haunting his mind; but he never asked or approached his mother about it. It was better if he didn`t pressure her. But months passed then years, until he was 18 with only books to give him company; knowledge. He barely knew in what century they lived in. They had no technology or anything that could relate to it they were to make no noise during the day and to see at night with no light.
One day, that day…yesterday? His mother had sucked into the forest he followed her. Mother?
She entered a little house. Well at least thats how it looked like to him from the outside but once he went in...there had been no way out. It was a lab but after he made step in everything went black.

The air was cold and wet; the sun had begun to rise as Merlin opened his eyes he could feel traces of it on his skin. "Hey!" Merlin looked around at the sound of a voice; seeing a figure at the bottom of the pine tree he started climbing down finally being able to make out the old man he said: "What do you want…?" He demanded. "I just want to help." The old man shouted back, not knowing wherever to trust him he stayed where he stood. "Come now boy." The old man gave an exasperated sigh. "It will not be long until they come back." Deciding it wasn`t an option to follow the old man he jumped down.
The old man looked at him with a mixture of fright and surprise. "How did you do that?" Merlin looked up at the tree where he had been standing not long ago and the tough of jumping from where he had freighted him. "I-I don`t-"
"It doesn't matter; at least not until we get out of here. It is not safe. Come on now."
