A/N: Well here is chapter 2! I know I said I would have it up the other day but I had no idea what to write, I hope you can forgive me for that. Well anyway hope you like it as much as the first one but I really don't know how I'm going to do this one… oh well!
Enjoy!
Merlin was running, Aithusa flying overhead, they finally caught sight of Arthur. He was fighting Mordred and Merlin could tell he was losing. Arthur was pale, shaking and covered in sweat, Mordred on the other hand was still pale, but more his natural skin tone, his normal piercing blue eyes, gold with the magic he was using to win. As they got closer Mordred looked over. He smirked evilly – something he must have learnt of Morgana – and with one mighty push, forced Arthur to the ground. Knocking his sword out of his hands, he turned to Merlin.
"Well, well, well. Have you finally come to face me, Emrys?" Mordred asked. Arthur looked over, confusion in his sky blue eyes.
"Leave him alone, Mordred" he said, his expression and voice cold.
"Why? You should be fighting with us Emrys, not against us. You know Morgana and I are right, it's the only way to bring magic back to Camelot." Mordred said and he couldn't help but laugh at the fact he didn't know Morgana was dead.
"What's so funny?" He asked, but Merlin just smirked but didn't say a word. Whilst Mordred and Merlin were talking, Arthur had inched closer to his sword. As Arthur got closer to his sword Merlin stepped closer to Mordred.
"It's over Mordred, you've lost" Merlin said, still stepping closer. Finally, Merlin stood in front of Mordred, shielding Arthur with his body.
"It is not over Emrys, it has barely begun" Mordred said, swinging his sword toward his head. Merlin lifted his hand and his eyes turned gold, stopping the blade mid-swing. Arthur's eyes widened when he saw Merlin use magic. Stopping reaching for his sword, he lay there and stared at the two magic users in front of him. Merlin lowered his hand and the sword lowered with it.
"Morgana's dead, Mordred. It's over" Merlin said, but this time, he wasn't quick enough. Mordred lunged, stabbing Merlin through the chest. Aithusa roared at the same time Arthur shouted
"NO!" Arthur lunged for his sword, hand wrapping round the hand, raising as Merlin fell, lunging forward and stabbing Mordred through the heart. Seconds later Mordred lay, eyes dead and unmoving. Arthur caught Merlin before he hit the ground. Tears welled in Arthurs eyes
"Merlin?" he asked quietly, shaking him gently. When he didn't stir Arthur shook him harder.
"Merlin!?" He almost shouted, but it worked.
"Ar..th..ur" Merlin whispered brokenly. His breathing shallow, his eyes fluttered open and Arthur could see the light in his normally vibrant and mischievous eyes had dimmed.
"Hang on Merlin, you'll be ok" Arthur said, the tears spilling over when Merlin shakes his head slowly.
"The sword...made..from dra..gons..bre..ath" he was getting weaker the more he tried to talk. "Ait..hu..sa" Merlin whispered, turning his head to away from Arthur to see the little white dragon land next to him. Arthur reached for his sword but Merlin stopped him by putting his hand on his arm. Aithusa walked over to them, whimpering at the sight of her master dying.
Let me help you she begs, but Merlin shakes his head and says out loud
"the..re's no..thi..ng you..can..do, but go ba..ck to Kil..gha..rrah, it'll be..sa..fe w..ith h..im." Aithusa nods and nuzzles Merlin's cheek affectionately.
"I miss you Merwin" she said, tears falling from her crystal blue eyes. Merlin turns back to Arthur, tears in his own dimming eyes.
"I'll miss you Arthur. Don't be such a prat, ok?" Merlin said. Arthur nods, running his hand though Merlin's raven locks.
"I'll miss you to, Merlin. And I won't, I promise" Arthur whispers. Merlin smiled at that, his eyes falling shut. Arthur cradles him to his chest as Merlin slowly slips away. When Merlin let out his final breath Arthur let out a sob. Aithusa roared at the sky, it filled with pain, love and lost hope. Arthur could have sworn he heard a answering roar in the distance, filled with the same pain and love. Arthur lay Merlin down but lay down with him. Putting his head on his chest, he grabbed on of Merlin's, limp, to pale hands and cries. He cries until finally exhausting himself out and falling into a dreamless sleep.
A/N: Sorry if anyone was OOC and this isn't as long as I was hoping it would be but never mind, hopefully the next chapter will be longer. Only two more chapters to go! I actually cried a little writing this chapter, I know it's not as bad as some but I cant help but cry if someone dies, even if it isn't really. Anyway hope you enjoyed, I would love to know what you think so
REVIEW!
