Authors notes; this is my first ever fanfic but have had a story in my mind for ages just never managed to find the time to write it or upload it. Not a Merlin/Arthur relationship sorry but I don't like the idea of it. Most of the ideas are from the sword and the stone (4:12-13) along with some of the other fanfic I've read. Which are brilliant by the way. Something to note- when it is italic it is their thoughts. Thanks and please leave a review.
Summary; Merlin, Arthur and Sir Gwain are trapped in the tunnels fleeing from Agravain and his men. But when Merlin's secret it discovered by everyone things begin to turn messy especially with Agravain being Morganas lap dog. In this Gwain knows about Merlin and his destiny.
'MERLIN!' Arthurs shout echoed though the caves, seeing as they were trying to keep a low profile it wasn't the smartest thing to do.
'I'm behind you you clot pole you don't have to shout'
'Where the hell did you think you were going?
'You said they would catch us, so I'll go and distract them giving you the chance to get a way out. Seriously Arthur you're supposed to be the next king.'
'What the hells that supposed to mean'. Before either of them got any further they were interrupted by a noise behind them. Agravain. Moving quicker than Arthur thought was possible Merlin was already past him running strait towards the oncoming attack, and before anyone could say or do anything about him he was making a large amount of noise knocking rocks and even for Merlin making more noise then he generally.
Arthur and Gwain stood dumbstruck as they heard the once approaching footsteps fade away in the direction in which Merlin had headed. Without even thinking Arthur began to run for him only to be stopped by Gwain. Keeping his voice low Arthur turned to his loyal knight confusion and rage on his face. 'Why did you stop me Merlin can't do this alone he needs us. Both of us', Arthur truly couldn't understand why Gwain -Merlin's closest friend- didn't want to help save him. Surely he would want to save him, to help him escape. What if Merlin got injured or what if he d-. He couldn't bring himself to say that word swallowing down all his feeling he turned his thoughts back to Gwain. Quietly he heard Gwain reply with 'Merlin gave us this chance to get away, how do you think he would react if we went with him. Besides we will probably meet him in the nearest tavern I could really do with a drink' smiling slightly Gwain had managed to convince Arthur that going back for merlin was a stupid thing to do and that they really should get going.
The colour drained from Merlin's face as he realised he had run strait into a dead end. Shit. Now having lead a bunch of morganas men including Agravain into a corner there was no way he was getting out of this situation one, without getting hurt and two, without using his magic: revealing himself. From a distance behind him he heard a voice that was not one he wanted to hear. Morganas.
I will continue this :)
