I really hope that you like this first chapter. I know this will not be that good


Merlin had just finished making the stew and was putting it in to the bowls. Each knight took a bowl and went to sit on the log.

"Merlin, go feed the horses" Arthur said as he picked up his bowl

"Can I first..." Merlin was saying before he was interrupted by Arthur

"Merlin, just go feed the horses" Arthur said

Merlin sighed, got up and went to the horses. 'Why does Arthur have to be such a prat' Merlin thought to himself as he made sure the horses were fed and happy. Merlin made his way back to the others were. They came up to him and passed their bowls

"That was lovely Merlin" Gwaine said putting a hand on Merlin's shoulder

"I loved it" Percival said putting a hand on Merlin's arm

"Me too" Leon said putting a hand on Merlin's shoulder

Then Arthur came up to Merlin and gave him his bowl and the pot and told Merlin to wash them. Arthur looked in to the pot to see a bit left

"Hang on there's still a bit left" Arthur said grabbing the spoon out of the pot and pulling out, holding it up to Merlin's face then eating it

"Good was it" Merlin said trying not to sound annoyed

"A little bit salty" Arthur said putting a hand on Merlin's shoulder before walking away

Merlin turned to walk away when they called his name. Merlin did not bother to turn round he just walked down the hill to the stream. He really hated them; they had been spending too much with Arthur. They were supposed to be his friends and they were treating him like dirt.

Merlin pushed the thought to the back of his head and concentrated on getting the pot and bowls clean. Once the pot and bowls were clean he picked them back up and walked back up the hill towards the camp. He was about to walk in the camp when Gwaine stuck his leg out and making Merlin trip and making the nice clean pot and bowls dirty with mud and dirt. Merlin looked up to see Arthur coming up to him

"Can't you do anything right Merlin" Arthur said in the distance "look, now you have to clean the pot and bowls since they are dirty again"

Merlin held his right arm; he had felt a shooting pain go up his arm when he fell, he could fell something wet hit his hand. He looked at his hand to see red drops on it

"Princess has a point boy" Gwaine said "so get off the floor and clean them again"

"Yeah Merlin, so hurry up" Arthur said looking at Merlin who was still on the floor "Merlin why are you always so stupid, so useless"

Those words hurt Merlin more than they had ever hurt before. Merlin felt like he was alone that all the people that were supposed to be his friends had now turned against him. He could feel a lump in his throat; he knew that he would end up crying any moment if he stayed here

"I don't know why I kept you as my servant, your disrespectful, disobedient" Arthur said "Maybe I was right to fire when valiant tried to kill me but I was so stupid to have rehired you"

"Fine Arthur" Merlin shouted "You know what I quit so you can clean these yourself and find yourself a new servant, maybe a bootlicker"

Merlin handed the pot and dishes to Arthur before walking off. He had, had it with Arthur. Now Arthur was king there was no need for Merlin anymore.

"Fine then Merlin, I can find always find another servant" Arthur shouted as Merlin walked away

Merlin walked down to the stream. He pulled his sleeve up; he could see a small bit of blood running down his arm. He washed the blood on his arm off with the water from the stream.

Snap

"Who's there" Merlin said

Merlin stood up slowly, not knowing what was out there.

"Arthur is that you" Merlin said "Because this is not funny and I told you that I'm not going to be your servant anymore"

Merlin looked behind him to see two people coming behind him, he started to walk back. He felt a hand on his shoulder. Merlin turned his head to see another one of these people.

"Nowhere to run sorcerer" said the person that was holding Merlin's shoulder

Merlin yelled before the world he knew went black


Where Arthur is (3 minutes before)


"Sire do you think he's coming back" Elyan said

"He will and he'll probably be begging for his job back" Arthur said "want to see an impression of Merlin"

"Alright sire" Leon said

"I'm Merlin, I fight by hiding behind trees" Arthur said as he did his impression of Merlin

They all laughed as Arthur did this then stopped went they heard a yell. They knew who had made that yell.

"That was Merlin" Leon said

They go their swords out and in the direction where Merlin had gone in. They reached the stream to find no one there.

"Look around" Arthur said

"Princess look at this" Gwaine shouted holding up the neckerchief that Merlin had been wearing

Arthur took the neckerchief Gwaine; Arthur could see drops of blood on it.

"This is your fault" Gwaine shouted at Leon

"My fault, you're supposed to be his friend" Leon said "If it's anyone's fault it's Percival"

"Now hold on, I did nothing to him" Percival said "It could be Elyan fault"

"If it's anyone's fault it..." Elyan said before everyone looked to Arthur

"What are you looking at me for?" Arthur said

"It your fault, if you had been nicer to Merlin he might not be missing right now" Percival said

"But it not just my fault, it's you lot fault too" Arthur said

"We can talk about this later, right now we need to find Merlin" Leon said

"Everyone look round to see if we can find any clues to who may have taken Merlin" Arthur said

Everyone split up to see if they could find anything the kidnappers could have left


Where Merlin is


"You think he's going to wake up soon" A voice said

"Oh he will" said another person said kicking Merlin repeatedly

Merlin opened his eye and felt someone kicking him; He moved his eyes up to see one of his kidnappers.

"Oh look who finally awake" said the person who was kicking him

"Why am I here, why did you kidnap me?" Merlin asked getting up but was punched to the floor

"We know what you are boy and you're going to help her take over Camelot" said the person coming through the door "You must be wondering who we are, I'm Jack this is Karan and that is Shadow"

"I will never help you" Merlin shouted reserving a kick in the chest

"You will if you value your life" Shadow said giving Merlin an evil grin

They tied chains round Merlin and before Merlin could do anything he was trapped. He had seen these types of chains and he knew that his magic would not be able to work on the chains.
