hi everyone this is the sequal to the guardians and I hope you like this one better that the last one that I did

this chapter leads on from the last chapter of the guardians.

10 minutes before (Arthur's pov)

My father had the guards lock me in my room. I ran to the window, I looked down to see Merlin being dragged by the guards towards the stake. I heard my father talking

"You have been found guilty of using magic and according to our laws you will burn at the stake, let this be a lesson to all those that seek to destroy Camelot" my father said

I looked to see Merlin being tied to the stake. I ran to the door trying to open it. I could hear Merlin screaming. The doors would not open, ran back to the window only to have them closed on me.

"Merlin, Merlin" I shouted hoping that he would hear me

Then I heard silence, Merlin was not screaming. 'No, no, this can't be happening' I thought. Merlin was dead and it was my fault. I fell against the wall to the floor. I had just lost my friend; I would never see that goofy smile that he had.

In the dungeons (Sibyl's pov)

I looked over to Chantelle; she was sitting on the floor with her head to the knees. I walked and sat next to her, it could see tear running down her face. I put a hand on her shoulder and then she looked at me.

"Don't cry Chantelle" I said

I pulled her in to a hug trying to make her feel better, which I think did. I looked at her again she was wiping her tears away and then we both turned our heads to look at the boys

"What are we going to do?" Chantelle asked

"We're going to get out of here, after that I don't know" Joey said

"We might still have time to save your dad, Chantelle" Max said

"It already too late for that Max" Chantelle said with a sound of sadness in her voice

Joey's pov

"So how are we going to get out of here?" I asked "Chantelle you lived here once any ideas"

"I was two when I left here and anyway my dad said that the cells are easy to escape from" Chantelle said

I thought for a bit and then it hit me like a slap around the head.

"I could melt the lock like I did before" I said

"Well go on then" Sibyl said

I put my hand through the bars and touched the cell lock, I could feel my hand getting warm and I could see the lock melting but the cell door would not open. I turned my head back to the others.

"I thought you said that you did this before" Sibyl said. She had spent too much time around Chantelle.

"It worked before, I don't understand why I did not work this time" I said.

"Maybe Chantelle can get the cell door open" Sibyl said "She does have magic after all"

My pov

I got up off the floor and went up to the cell door.

"I think that it might be best if you lot stand back" I said

I pointed my hand towards the cell door, not even having to say any magic spells the doors flew off its hinges. I was not as strong as my dad when it came to magic and spells. What I found odd was the fact that no guards came running when I made the cell doors fly in to the wall opposite

"Where are all the guards?" Max asked

"That doesn't matter, what matters is that we get out of here" Sibyl said

"We need to get to the court yard" Joey said "I think it's this way" Joey said going left

"Ok, it's this way" I said going right

"It's this way I'm sure of it" Joey said

"Like the time you got us lost because you thought it was in that direction" I said

"That was one time" Joey said "And any your not one to talk, what about that time"

"What time" I said, Joey shrugged "Like I was saying this way"

We went down a narrow passage, I had seen this before. Dad had taken me down here when we had left Camelot.

"Guys this way" I whispered

The passage lead to an hallway. We could see where we were and how we could get to the courtyard. I ran up one of the windows. I could see smoke but not a small amount of it, there was smoke everywhere in the courtyard.

"We need to help them" I said

"I hate to admit it but your right" Joey said

We ran down the hall, turning down different halls, passing fleeing servants. The servants seemed to be running from that could only mean trouble. When we reached the courtyard there was still was thick black smoke everywhere.

"Sibyl you think that you could do something about this smoke" I said

Sibyl put her hand out and created a strong wind blowing the smoke, when the smoke had cleared we saw that everyone in the courtyard was unconscious. What had happened here? I looked round to see that Arthur was not here.

"We should find Arthur" I said

"What help would he be anyway?" Joey asked

"You'll be surprised, now follow me" I said running back in the corridor door that we had just come out of.

We ran run up stairs and in different hallways that I had remembered faintly from when I lived here. We finely reached Arthurs chambers, there were no guards here. I pushed the doors; the doors would not move 'great' I thought. I remembered a spell that my dad had shown me, it was a spell to open locked doors.

"Hlyste thaet funda" I said as the door became unlocked

I pushed the doors and walked into the room. Joey, Sibyl and Max were waiting outside just in case a guard came past. I looked around the room, it was dark but not too dark; I could see my surroundings, I turned to see Arthur laying on the floor his eyes were closed. 'Please don't be' I thought to myself.

"Uncle Arthur are you alive" I whispered hoping he would say something but no such luck

I ran up to Arthur and keeled next to him. I started to shake his shoulder in hope that he would wake up.
