I hope you like this new chapter!
Chapter two: Arthur hates me!
Arthur kissed Guinevere goodnight and hastily pulled on his midnight-blue cloak. It swirled around his legs as he walked down the many castle halls, heading for Gaius's chambers. It was almost midnight, so not many people were up and about. Soon, Gaius's heavy oak door appeared in front of him. He paused, ready to rap on the door, but then Arthur heard a sound. Was it someone crying? Arthur leaned in and tried to catch what the person was saying.
"Arthur-hates-me!"
Arthur recognized the voice. It was Merlin's. But, why would Merlin think that he hated him? Gauis seemed to know the answer.
"There, there. I'm sure he doesn't mean to be so isolated of late. It's probably just the-"
He was cut off by Merlin. "No. He's not! He has been like this for three months, Gauis! Arthur has been giving me the cold shoulder for THREE months! The first month, I just ignored it, but by the second, I was worried. What have I done wrong, Gauis? What have I done to make Arthur hate me?" He started sobbing again. "I thought we were… best friends. I guess he doesn't feel that way. After all, I am only a servant."
The words broke Arthur's heart. The reason for being so distant was because Merlin wasn't just a loyal servant. He was Arthur's best friend. Arthur would have told Merlin why he was treating him differently, but Merlin couldn't keep a secret to save his life. And, if Morgan found out about his plans, they would be ruined. His thinking was interrupted by Merlin's voice.
"Arthur hates me! I hope I never see him again!"
Arthur could hear the slamming of a door. He decided to leave. He didn't have to ask Gauis what was wrong. He already knew.
