Friend of Camelot
Prologue
Arthur's P.O.V
Past
"Cleo!" Merlin cried as he dropped to his knees, tears beginning to run down his face. I ran to his side and helped him back up.
"Come on, let's get you to bed." I said softly, I was angry. How dare, she of all people come to Camelot like that and take Cleo away from Merlin. Merlin of all people!
"But…Cleo." Merlin choked.
"Don't worry about her. You'll need your rest. Lancelot, help me!" I called out. Lancelot came and took Merlin to his bed while I picked a sleeping draught. I went back over to Merlin and poured the contents of the vial into Merlin's mouth. The serving boy immediately tried to fight it.
"Don't fight it." Lancelot said. Soon, the vial took effect and Merlin's vision was turned to black…
Present
I walked back to Merlin's room the following morning. Before leaving for Merlin's room, I had been to my Father, to tell him that Merlin, myself and two of his most trusted Knights to attend a very long 'hunting' trip. I told my father I might not be back for a few weeks as I will be travelling and patrolling the villages at the same time. That last part…was half true. After that, I told an early –rising servant to prepare four horses.
Without knocking, I barged into Merlin's room, wakening up Gwaine and Lancelot. Gwaine moaned.
"What are you doing up so early Princess?" He groaned, rubbing his head. I ignored him and walked straight over to Merlin.
"Come on Merlin. We're going hunting, you too, Lancelot and sober boy over there." I grinned.
"I'd watch what you're saying if I were you." Gwaine retorted.
"I don't feel like hunting today." Merlin said in barely a whisper, and turned so he was facing the wall, not the people in the room.
"Oh yes you do, because even though I went to my Father and told him half a lie about hunting for a few weeks, and patrolling villages, and getting a servant to prepare us four horses, I'm not going to order you. But I am sure that you would like to get revenge on who has got Cleo." I smiled. I barely had time to move away from the bed before Merlin was up, his shoes on and out the door. I turned to the two stunned knights.
"Well?" I smiled, and when they made no move to get up, I glared at them and gestured to the door, "Let's go!"
