Chapter 2
(Three days later midnight)
Merlin was sitting on a high branch of a tree on the outer ring of the clearing, his head was leaned up against the trunk of the tree, his right leg hung of the side, while his other leg was bent and his arm hanging resting on it. Merlin rarely slept at all anymore and when he did it was on rare occasions. Merlin's nerves were on edge this was the night when either Arthur would show up and be sure he wanted this or would stay away and Merlin hoped it was the later but he would keep his promise of it was the former.
It was ten minutes past midnight when Merlin heard the sound of footsteps approaching the clearing the he easily recognized as Arthur's. No human would be able to hear his careful foot falls but with his vampire hearing he could hear it very well. Not a minute later Arthur stepped into the clearing looking around for a moment. Merlin watched him for a minute waiting "Merlin are you here?" Arthur voice washed over Merlin like a siren call like it always did. Merlin smiled then slid of the branch into a twenty foot drop landing lightly on his feet. "I'm here Arthur." Merlin called out making Arthur jump "You know I don't think I ever get used to you just popping up out of nowhere Merlin." Merlin laughed shaking his head.
They bantered for a few minutes till Merlin became serious this was something that had to be discussed and Merlin knew that Arthur was just stalling "Arthur I know why you came, I gave you a choice three days ago because you asked me to. I need to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is what you want before I agree to this." Arthur took a deep breath "It is what I want, this is my choice. I admit I am a little nervous but that won't deter me from this, this last year without you has been horrible for me. I prayed every day that you would not be the next one with a stake in your heart, or that I would die before I saw you again. My father and his oppression is are driving me nuts I am sick of all this. Most of all I want to be with you and I want to be connected to you in every way possible. I am begging you to do this so I can be with you my father and everyone else be damned." Merlin detected no hint of a lie in those words and knew his decision was now easy "Alright if this is what you want. Best we not do it here though too close to the patrol routes they hear what is going on and they will kill us. I have an area two miles east of here well of the beaten trails no one goes near there so we should be safe." Merlin paused the said "I explain more of how this will go when we get there but to get there in a timely fashion I am going to carry you on my back so I can run." Arthur scoffed saying "Merlin you are not a horse." Merlin got a little irritated Arthur knew how to rile him up and he was not in the mood "Arthur if you want this done tonight then you are going to listen and not try to debate with me for I am not in the mood. Now are you going to get on my back and do this tonight or are you going to be a prat and do it tomorrow?" Arthur was startled at how irritated Merlin sounded and decided it would probably be best if he did not toy with him at the moment so bowed his head in consent. Merlin walked over to Arthur and hoisted him onto his back but before he started to run he said "You might want to hold your breath and close your eyes it could get a little overwhelming for you." Arthur did what he was told he held his breath and buried his face into Merlin's neck. Then Merlin shot off through the trees at an exhilarating speed. Merlin covered two miles in less the two minutes. Soon enough they were at the cave that Merlin frequented and the place that he would change Arthur.
