Chapter 3: The Capture: Part 2

A/N: Okay, so here is chapter 3. It is short, sorry about that.

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin, no matter how much I wish that I did I don't.

After Tayse and the Lady Madeline had left, Gwaine had gone back into the tavern, and then proceeded to get himself good and drunk. Once he had accomplished this, he then proceeded to instigate a fight.

"All right, that is it!" Angus Syre yelled. "I have had enough of this, I run a tavern, not a fighting hall, all of those who were fighting need to get out of my tavern immediately before I make them," he threatened. At these words Gwaine and the two men Gwaine had been fighting quickly left the tavern. Gwaine then proceeded to get his horse, and then ride in the opposite direction as he needed to go. He had planned to head to Cenred's kingdom; instead he started to head toward Camelot, following Tayse and Madeline's trail accidently. Muttering to himself along the way.

"Make me leave when I was only pointing out to the man that he needed to loosen up. All I suggested was that he get a little more ale and then have some fun with a willing lady that is it. And for that I get punched in the face, and thrown out of a good tavern," Gwaine muttered going along, and not paying attention to where he was headed. Next thing he knew there were ten men standing right in front of his horse and known of them looked very friendly. "Gentlemen, if you would please move out of the way of my horse I so I can continue on my way, I would appreciate it," Gwaine said, little did he know that he had just encountered the same slave traders as Tayse and Madeline.

"Sorry, mate, but we can't do that. See you are going to come with us," one of the traders said.

"Well, I do not wish to go with you and so I do not think I will be going with you," Gwaine replied, taking his sword and getting ready to fight. Unfortunately for Gwaine because he was so intoxicated he was not winning the fight for freedom. Although he did do quite well. He ended up wounded one man by hitting him in the leg, resulting in a fairly large gash. Knocking another unconscious by hitting him with the broadside of his sword. In the end, three men ended up wounded and two men were actually dead. What had done Gwaine in was killing some of the men. This had made the other traders mad beyond belief, causing them to fight with a vigor that Gwaine could not match, had he been sober he would have been fine, but in his intoxicated state he just could not keep up.

Although he could not keep up with the slave traders, he was able to keep them at bay, so they were unable to get close enough to knock him out. Because of this fact, they resorted to their back up knock out darts, hitting him in the back of the neck. Soon Gwaine was unconscious, trussed up like a goose, and put in the back of the wagon with Tayse, Madeline, and the rest of the people the slave traders had captured. They then their journey to Jamil's stronghold where who knew what terrors waited for them.

A/N: Okay, so yeah, Gwaine also got captured. So yeah, the reason this chapter is so short is because I wanted to split up everybody getting captured. You won't hear from me for a while, as I will be out of town and unable to access a computer for about two weeks, i will try to get something up in July, so yeah... let me know what you think please R&R!
