Dreóhlæcan Mónaþfylen Chapter 2
I apologize for not updating right away, I planned on writing the next chapter right after but got held up by that gosh darn Wuthering Heights essay which I got an A on! And it also got me into the creative writing class! But anyways thank you to all of the reviews I got! So many people added this to their favorite stories or story alert and to all of those that added me as a favorite author or for author alert thank you so much! It added to my nonexistent self esteem ^_^! Also I apologize about the awful spelling and grammar but I don't have a beta and don't even know how to go about obtaining one, if someone could help a girl out? And thank you to all those who pointed out my horrible spelling mistakes, anytime you spot them just let me know! But anyways on with the next chapter!
"Merlin"
"Mmmm no not yet just five more minutes Gaius please," Merlin pleaded in a pillow muffled voice.
"Merlin, you must get up, you're already late for the Prince," Gaius called out.
Merlin grudgingly flipped the blanket off of his legs, before he proceeded to stand and stretch his long arms in the air, adding to his already gangly height. Suddenly he froze as the memory of what had occurred last night hit him head on.
"Oh no," he groaned, "I'll never hear the end of this from Arthur, not to mention Uther probably thinks I'm more of an idiot already!"
"You're right about that," Gaius called cheerfully from the other room, "Thanks to your stunt last night Uther made sure he talked to me about procuring the right medications for your mental affliction, so that the entire castle is not subjected to the incident last night again," he ended with a chuckle at Merlin's bright face as he walked down the steps to the front room.
"Who all did I wake up?" Merlin asked horrified.
"Oh not too many just the entire East wing of the castle," Gaius replied nonchalantly.
"Oh is that all!" Merlin said sarcastically.
"You had best to start off for Arthur's; he's not going to be very happy with you to start off with," Gaius warned before he watched bemused as Merlin zipped out the door pulling his boots on as he went.
For the second time that day Arthur jumped as he heard the door to his bedroom bang against the wall. "For God's sakes Merlin! Learn how to bloody knock!" he demanded as he slowly turned away from him, still shaken a bit.
"I'm sorry sire," Merlin said with a half mock bow, "won't happen again."
"How many times have I heard that," Arthur grumbled, as he turned back to his wardrobe. "Help me in my tunic," he demanded without turning around.
Merlin walked over compliantly, pulling the shirt out of the prince's hands before he helped him tug it on over his head. After he had finished he walked back to the bed, in a fairly good mood starting to make it.
"So…about last night," Arthur asked nonchalantly. Merlin visibly stiffened, he had been hoping that Arthur had forgotten about the incident, or had chosen just not to bring the subject up.
"Yes…what about?" Merlin asked in the most innocent voice he could muster.
"You come barging into my room demanding to know if I'm alright, then promptly start tearing my chambers apart, care to explain," Arthur said in a clearly demanding tone that commanded no disobedience.
"I was taking a walk, because I could not sleep, and heard a noise in your chambers, I thought there was someone inside trying to kill you so…" Merlin dropped off looking anywhere but at Arthur.
"Merlin you're a horrible liar," Arthur said as he bore his eyes into Merlin, "Now why exactly did you think I was being murdered?"
"I told you sire," Merlin replied keeping his eyes even more downcast then they already were.
The prince sighed, "Well I guess I have no choice but to send you to the stocks."
Merlin's head snapped up, "But Arthur…!"
"Are you ready to tell me the truth?"
The gangly servant didn't reply but just shuffled from the room aiming towards to the town square. Where he would no doubtedly come back covered in rotting food.
"And I just washed this shirt," he grumbled to himself.
I promise I will update sooner and have longer chapters as soon as finals are over. This is my last week of school, then finals next week then I'm out. I'm also going on vacation to Europe June 16th through the 26th. I'm going to Ireland, Scotland, and England! Maybe I'll get to see Colin Morgan! (Drools slightly) But don't worry I'll try to update as much as I can! I'll take plenty of notes and pictures to help in my setting descriptions! But anyways review!
