Chapter 2
"Does know" Arthur asked, since Callum announcement Merlin and Adianna had starting babbling on about everything they had done after they were separated. "Maybe" Callum smiled at the annoyed look on his brother's face. Arthur groaned "you know he hates being the last to know" "well we better go tell him then before those two" he pointed at Merlin and Adianna "tell everyone " Callum laughed, there were something's about his brother Arthur would never understand his sense of humour was one of them. "Stay with Merlin" Callum whispered to Adianna kissing her neck, Arthur looked at Merlins smile "remember your chores Merlin" he called as they walked off to find their father.
An hour latter Merlin was making Arthurs bed and Adianna was being anything but helpful, she was beginning to remind him why he was her only friend. "So" she said looking around the room eyeing one of Merlins scarfs hidden in Arthurs draw "how long have you and Arthur been together" the pillow Merlin was holding hit the ground "I...I don't know what you're talking about" "oh come on Merlin you know you suck at lying"she laughed at his blush "tell me" "Adianna seriously I haven't got a clue what you mean" he shook his head " I have kept your other secret what makes this one so different... there no point denying it actually ... not with the way you look at each other" her smile feel when she saw his face "it's different this time" he whispered "how?" Merlin looked up at the friend he had long ago given up any hope of seeing again "they could hurt Arthur" Adianna whipped a tear away from his eyes "that is something you never have to fear" she assured him "how could you possibly know that" "because Merlin" her smile returning to her face "in my dreams your both happy side by side" she kissed his check and ran from the room laughing. Merlin stood there stunned, what other secrets did he friends have?
"Father" Arthur called as he and Callum entered the throne room. As they walked threw he crowd they heard poorly contained whispers and gasps at Callum sudden appearance, it was not unknown of the kings dislike to his second son, but everyone knew Arthur and Callum were the closet brothers and would stand by each other no matter what. "Father" Arthur said again this time bowing, Uther nodded and looked at Callum "sire" Callum bowed and stood beside Arthur, he had never been allowed to call Uther father not even when he was a young boy and didn't know any better. "What are you doing back here?" Uther raised his eyebrows at Callum "I wanted my future bride to see the place I grew up in" Callum shrugged " you're getting married?" Uther stood up, Callum only nodded and looked around bored, he never felt comfortable in the court especially when he knew he wasn't wanted by most people. Uther turned his attention back to Arthur "where you bride then?" he demanded, Arthur winced at the words "I have none father" he looked at the floor "do you hear that?" Uther addressed the crowd " my son Prince Arthur has no bride while he" pointing at Callum who face had turned into an angry glare "a drunken mistake from my past dose" Uther spat "father stop this you don't understand" Arthur begged " what i don't understand" Uther began but Callum cut him off " stop this Uther it's bad enough that you've never cared about me but I let that go years ago but now you stand here yelling and screaming at the son you do care about, have you lost your mind" Callum yelled, Uther ignoring his second son started on Arthur again " what I don't understand it that my own son can't not even manage to have a child so at least my line will continue" Arthur stepped back tears filling his eyes but none fell " stop this Uther he doesn't deserve this" Callum yelled again as Uther yelled every insult he could at Arthur "you always have been and always will be a failure ... I fear the day you become king... on that day my kingdom will fall" Arthur fled the room with Uthers words ringing in his ears.
Callum glared at Uther before running after Arthur. He searched every room and corridor before he found Arthur sitting alone in the dark, knees brought up to his chest, hiding his head. Callum looked around the room, the only window was smashed and nearly everything in the room was broken, this was obliviously where Arthur come when he was angry. " Arthur" he called putting his hand on his brother's shoulder, Arthur flinched away from the touch, "its ok it's just me" Callum told him. Arthur kept his head down "he doesn't understand" "understand what?" Arthur shook his head "its ok you can tell me" Callum sat down next to him "you wouldn't understand either" "try me" Arthur looked at Callum then down again " I could never do that to Merlin, I could never hurt him like that" it took Callum a minute to understand but when he did he couldn't hold the smile back "I knew there was something going on with you two" "you not mad" Arthur asked, Callum shook his head "of course not you idiot" he laughed "thank you" Arthur smiled "no problem now I think we better go find them, I don't know about Merlin but could find trouble in a locked room with nothing in it" Arthur laughed knowing Merlin was just the same.
"Adianna stop" Merlin yelled running behind her, she just laughed and ran outside. Merlin groaned, now how was he meant to find her. He ran outside and stoped. There in the middle of the road was Adianna staring at an old house that looked just like the one she had in Eldor, "Adianna" he grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the house " I thought he was gone but now he's found me again" Merlin hugged her "he hasn't found you again this isn't his house" "how do you know that" Adianna argued back " because once you left with you knew mother the villagers threw him out of town, I'd like to say it was all my but truthfully I've never seen my mother so angry" Adianna smiled "and as for the house well I got homesick a couple of months ago so Arthur told everyone we were going hunting and took me back for a while. When we got there all the villagers were avoiding the house like it was cursed. My mother couldn't afford to move so she still lived next door to it. I stared having nightmares about what happened to you, woke up screaming. Arthur forced me to tell him what was wrong. I've seen him angry before but never like this, he got up in the middle of the night and set the hose on fire" he explained "you burned it down" Merlin nodded " thank you" Adianna whispered hugging Merlin "thank Arthur it was his idea" as if on cue the two princes found them laughing. Arthur walked up to Merlin , kissed his hand and laughed at his blush. Adianna hugged Arthur "thank you" she whispered in his ear before returning to Callum's arms.

When everyone else was asleep and Merlin had snuck into his chambers. Arthur once again found himself wrapped around a lustful Merlin. Arthur kissed his way down Merlins body and back up again making Merlin moan and beg for more. Arthur was quick to oblige. Merlin screamed his name as Arthur drove him over the edge, Arthur only last a couple more minutes before yelling for Merlin and collapsing beside him. Pulling the smaller boy into his arms the two lay together, happy to feel the other in their arms.
It was some time later when their breathing had returned to normal, Merlins head resting on Arthur's chest did Arthur finally ask "what were you and Adianna doing at that old house today?" Arthur asked playing with Merlins hair "what are you jealous "Merlin teased kissing Arthurs chest above his heart "Merlins what was going on" Arthurs voice was serious now, Merlin sighed and turned his head back "do you remember when we went to visit my mum and I told you about my friends who's dad used to hit and touch when no one was around" "yes but" Arthur frowned and held Merlin tighter in his arms "it was Adianna wasn't it?" Merlin only nodded "is she ok now? Is that why she left with the travelling lady that ended up being a queen" Arthur asked " I don't know if it's why she left, the lady showed up the day her father had barley hurt her and out of nowhere she was offered an escape a way to make it all better, make it go away. I don't blame her for leaving.... as for today I've never seen her like that, she looked like she was either going to make a run for it or jump off a building" Merlin sobbed, Arthur kissed away the tears and soon they were in a peaceful sleep.

"NO" Callum woke up the Adianna screaming and thrashing around. He looked at her face, scrunched up in pain and fear but her eyes remind asleep. "No please you can't... don't make me" she begged "get off me" she kicked, Callum took hold of her hands "Adianna wake up it's just a night mare" he brushed the hair out of her eyes, tears started to flow from her eyes, he pulled her into his arms, "you safe my love just wake up and it'll go away" he promised. Her eyes flew open, her breathing heavy while her eyes scanned the room "it was just a dream" he told her kissing her shoulder, Adianna flinched away from the kiss "what's wrong", she just shook her head "Adianna please" he lifted her chin looking her in the eyes "why were you looking at that old house today?" "do you remember what I told you about my father" Callum nodded "well I didn't tell you everything" "what" Adianna cut Callum off "one night he came into my room" she told him resting her head on his chest "i told him I didn't want to but he didn't listen. He pushed me onto my bed, I was to shocked to do anything, he'd only ever wanted to touch my before but he wanted more this time" she shuddered at the thought "I fought, kicked some hoe managed to push him away before he did anything, but then he had this knife, he cut my side" she traced his hand along the scar "it hurt... a lot...I can remember the blood but I don't remember screaming but then there was Merlin, his mother and will. Merlin and Will ripped him off me while Hunith just hugged me. By morning the whole village knew, I couldn't take the looks. I was already different enough then my mother come along, offered me a way out so I took it.... But then that house this morning. It brought back to many memories" she whispered "you never have to be afraid of that again, I will never let anyone like that man near you again" Callum swore " I know..I ...I just can't be near that house.... I don't want to remember" " I'll destroy it in the morning" Callum rocked Adianna in his arms until she drifted to sleep. Callum had never met her father. He had never wanted to but now he felt a sudden urge to hunt the man down and kill him as slowly as possible.
