The sharp arrow embedded itself deeply into the young warlock's side, deep enough to stop any blood from coming out, not even a drop. The boy hardly noticed anything going on, he just simply swayed around not noticing Finna's eyes flash gold as she shot the man backwards, he felt no pain but he knew he was hurt, his eyes were blurring, the world was swaying. He looked down to his side though he knew he shouldn't as his breathing became raspy and he began losing energy. He looked up, his eyes glancing past Finna who looked saddened yet very angry as his knees gave up and he fell to the ground gasping.

Finna placed her arms around his waist as his hand clasped onto her shoulder becoming more and more weak. The blood from the wound couldn't get out and it needed to. Finna gripped his arm ,over his elbow and slowly lowered him down.
"Lie back," she said.

Merlin did as he was told letting out a gasp of pain as his back hit the ground letting his head loll around, his eyes unfocused. Finna looked upwards glancing around then back to the injured boy as he kept lifting up his head and gasping.

"They wont be alone." She looked at the boy's side and nodded sympathy washing over her as she knew what she was about to do would hurt the boy immensely. Merlin looked to the side wondering what was going on. Finna clenched her mouth shut tightly grasping the arrow and without a second thought or warning, yanked the arrow out causing Merlin to let out a strangled yelp filled with pain. His face screwed up in pain as the blood freely seeped out from the small yet deep hole in his side. Finna looked at him with no expression.

"Morgana must not find you." She looked up as she inwardly cursed at herself, she knew the boy needed rest yet they had to move, or Morgana would know Merlin was Emrys and they would both most likely be killed. Merlin winced as he unsheathed his sword, digging it lightly into the ground lifting himself up letting out a gasp of pain as the wound punished him for moving. Finna placed a hand behind his back knowing he could hardly move as he tried with all his strength to stand , he also knew they couldn't stick around for long, Finna was right, there would be more soon and they had to move, but where?

"Where can we go?" His voice was laced with pain.

Finna looked up and around then back to Merlin. "I know a watch tower on the other side of the Valley." Merlin stood, his face screwed up in pain trying not to scream yet he winced and yelped as he stood, Finna barely supporting him as her mind trailed off somewhere else before snapping back to reality as she noticed that Emrys to be could hardly get up any further without her help . "Can you walk?" Her voice showed no concern yet panic, if he couldn't walk they would be found and killed and she still had much to tell him. Merlin took deep raspy breathes before even trying to reply.

"Yeah..I think so." They were both rather surprised how strong his voice sounded, that was a good sign. He began to turn around, wincing as he did before Finna tried to help.

"It's not far." She wanted the boy to feel better, so saying they didn't have far left was a good way she thought. The warlock placed his hand over the wound with Finna gently holding onto his arm as they began walking away with many stumbles and almost 'falling flat onto your face' falls from Merlin. His breathing became worse as they continued , his face paled and sweat formed on his brow. He was becoming more and more weak and neither of them knew how much longer he could out without becoming a dead weight to Finna and maybe not waking up.

Okay so I only did it to here because I'm still thinking on who should find Merlin in the forest...Hmmm... x3. I hope you liked it and I know I likely made speech mistakes and action mistake. I missed out a line that Merlin said when he as trying to get up because no matter how many times I repeated that bit I couldn't figure out what he said. Oops. Anyway, I hope you liked it and aren't angry with me for only doing what the episode showed. I'm rather annoyed how long it looked in Word Pad but how short it is on here... Anyways, thank you and bai.
