Merlin's Mumbles

Chapter 2:

I slowly stood to my feet and spoke to myself that was sitting in my chair.

"What is going on and who are you?"

"I'm Merlin; I don't know what's going on! Who are you?!"

I can distinctly remeber not being able to use my mouth. I was speechless.

"Who are you?" Merlin asked again; when I couldn't answer he quickly stood to his, or should I say my feet, and approached me threateningly. I stepped back.

"Answer me!" he yelled.

"Arthur" I whispered.

"A, Arthur, wha, how?" He sounded deflated; he was asking the same questions that I had.

"Merlin what did you do?" because it would have to be Merlin's doing to get us in that situation.

"Me! I didn't do anything!"

It was after this that I felt my knees, that where actually Merlin's get weak. Hearing his voice when I spoke and my voice when he spoke really just made it all so very real.

"I need to sit down." And so I did across from Merlin who apparently needed to do the same. He just kept staring at me, but really now thinking back on it I must have kept staring at him as well in order to know that he was staring at me.

"You must have done something; after all it was you who was making a wish not five minutes ago!" Now I was yelling and if I had been able to see the face that I was barrowing I bet it was nice and red.

"I did nothing Arthur, this… that was not a real wish, trust me! I just can't understand how-" then he looked frightened and his face that was actually mine got suddenly very pale.

"What?"

"Magic, someone must have used magic…" He whispered.

We spent the better part of two hours trying to figure out what to do and why someone would do this and wondering how long it would last when of course we agreed to go see Gaius. He was surprised to hear our tale and quickly set about his room grabbing his books. After thirty to forty minuets of scanning and asking questions he came to the conclusions that he had no idea what had happened and that he needed more time to figure it out and we had to come up with "a plan".
