A/N : Hiya guys this is my First Fan Fiction and i'm hoping you guys will like it. I know it is strange writing a fanfic based between seasons 3 and 4 especially after it's ended, but anyway please read and review and if you have any ideas please let me know about them.
Enjoy!
It was another day of hunting where Arthur and his new knights had to listen to Merlin's complaining and why he thinks hunting is completely meaningless.
"... I mean what did that animal ever do to you? It was just having a nice time wandering through the woods when all of a sudden"
"Merlin, if you don't shut up I'll be hunting you next" Arthur said who was clearly annoyed. This caused the knights to laugh. Merlin just sulked and carried on.
For ten more minutes there was silence. Merlin looked up. "It's too quiet" He thought just when he heard Gawain yell something. An arrow hit a tree to left of Merlin, which startled his horse. Merlin fell off not knowing what had happened when he saw about 20 men come charging towards them. Arthur and his skillful knights fought off the first men, but then arrows were shooting through the air Merlin looked around for when an arrow hit him in the leg and fell to the ground in pain.
Arthur saw Merlin fall to the ground, so he cut down the men in his way. When he got to Merlin he noticed the arrow sticking out of leg with blood oozing out. "Arthur, behind you!" Merlin Shouted as he saw a man approaching him ready to attack, but Arthur was quicker than he and easily blocked it. Then put the sword through the man's gut. Arthur looked around to check nobody was coming. He pulled Merlin up so he was leaning against himself for support. When they got to small clearing Arthur sat Merlin up against a tree and inspected his wound. "I'm fine Arthur. It's not too serious." Arthur grabbed the arrow and pulled it carefully, but Merlin cried out in pain. "Yeah, looks perfectly fine to me" Arthur said sarcastically.
Eight men jumped out from the bushes. Five held Arthur down whilst two forced Merlin onto his feet. The man, who wasn't holding anyone and Arthur now guessed was their leader, walked forward, so he stood directly in front of the once and future King. "Well, well ,well," His breath smelt like every horrible thing you could think of, mixed together. Arthur had to force himself not to gag, "if it isn't the amazing, Prince Arthur" the large, emotionless man said in a mocking voice.
He heard something (or someone) drop to the ground. He look to his right and saw Merlin get pulled up - pain clear on his face. "What do you want?" Arthur asked trying to sound threatening. Gruffy (That's what Arthur had decided to call the leader of the men) laughed, Arthur wasn't sure if it was from his question or Merlin's painful attempt at staying stood up.
When he stopped laughing with his raspy voice he answered, "Well little Prince that's simple," Gruffy paused for an effect, " I'm here for you"
That's the first chapter over. Will Arthur be able to escape and help poor Merlin who still has an arrow sticking out of his leg? I'll try to put the next chapter A.S.A.P. Please Review and let me know how i could improve my writing or what you would like to see happen next!
Til' next time.
