First time writing a Merlin fic!(: This will be a two shot.
it was another normal day in Camelot. Servants were rushing around, spring cleaning per the new Queens request and Arthur and Gwen were meeting with the civilians in the throne room. Merlin was joking around to the side with the knights when Leon was called out. After a few moments he opened the door, letting an old woman through. She had dark brown hair flecked with white and grey and her skin was stained with dirt and spots of old age. Ignoring the knight motioning her to the line she pushed past the waiting peasents and stood in front of the King.
Raising her voice she shouted, "Where is she? Where have you hid her?" the room was agast. Even Gwaine was paying attention.
Quickly getting over his shock, Arther clenched his fist. "I do not know who y-"
"The girl! That dirty troublesome girl!"
Taking her husbands stressed hand Gwen calmly asked, "Maybe we can help miss. What happened?"
Acting as though she did not hear what the Queen said the woman turned around looking at everyone around the quiet room until her eyes rested on Merlins. She strode towards him grabbing his shirt. "You! You hid her didn't you?" Merlins eyes flashed in both confusion and magic before Percival jerked her off of him. Arthur jumped out off his throne.
"Enough! You will not acuse my own servant. What are the reasons for this?"
Hawling the woman to the middle of the room she suddenly started to laugh, pointing at the King.
"Ohh but you will get a surprise...I made sure she paid for every night I must life alone without my boy. She did love killing, that Freya."
Everything was blocked out for the warlock.
she paid...killing...my boy...Freya..
He didnt even hear the words of Arthur all he felt was a huge rush of rage and before he knew it he was running across the room. With strength that surprised everyone in the room, he pushed the witch out of Percivals grasp and grabbed her by the throat.
"You are the one who cursed my Freya? I will fucking kill you! You are the reason she is gone! You killed her! I loved her and you killed her!"
Arthur and the knights quickly ran towards Merlin, who was slowing killing the old woman. Being the closest Percival quickly grabbed him around the waist and tried pulling him away. None of them had ever heard their friend curse.
"Get the fuck off of me! Let me kill her!"
Gwen and many of the other people gasped at the looked of pure hate in the usual kind souled mans eyes. Arthur and the rest of the knights surronded him as he went slack and fell to his knees, sobs trembling through his thin frame.
"A soul for a soul Emrys." cackling the witch was dragged to her feet by Arthur who threw her to the guards.
"Take this scum down to the dungeons," glancing towards his best friend he slowly turned and addressed the civilians, "We will resume this tomorrow, please return to your homes."
When the door finally slammed shut the only thing heard was the incoherent whispers of Gwaine into his friends' ear. Sitting up Merlin shakily rubbed his eyes and glanced around. Gwen was still standing in front of her and Arthurs throne with her hands clamped around her mouth. And the rest of the knights were knealing next ro their friend rotating from glancing at Merlin or the King. Running a hand through his hair Arthur sighed,
"Merlin?"
