Chapter 2 part
I am incredibly sorry this is so late! I was busy changing my room to share with my sister again then i wasn't motivated to write. I had no inspiration at all. I need to go to bed and in a hurry so Arthur, Elizabeth and Merlin cannot join us today! Well you will see why in the ending! :D
I woke to see a scrawny obsidian haired boy and a blond well-built boy. I had no idea who they were; I didn't even know my own name. I had the feeling I should know these people and tell them something but it didn't come to me. My vision was blurred but I could see. The raven-haired boy ran over to me, checking me over.
"Elizabeth! Are you okay? What happened? Did anything break?" The boy bombarded me with questioned; I closed my eyes to think. I reopened them and my vision was clear. I didn't look at him though I was looking at the over man. He was hansom, well he was just… there were no words. I knew his name; of course, I knew my love's name, Arthur. Merlin was the one near me. I felt no pain so I got up and ran over to Arthur, hugging him with all my strength.
"Uh… Elizabeth… I know I look good and all but stop hugging me." I looked up to him, hurt that he said such thing.
"But… my love… I thought we were together?" He looked at me with a confused expression. I didn't even know what I was doing I had no control over it at all. Before I knew it I laid my rosy lips onto his, I wanted to stop but again I had no control over anything. It was as if I was under a spell… yes that was it, it has to be! Maybe when the incident happened, I knock my head really badly and now I have no control over what I do. It seems more likely, I mean why someone would make a spell on me. Anyways sorcery was forbidden. Managing to grab control over my other side, I broke the kiss, for some reason Arthur didn't argue kissing. Feeling guilty and horrified I back up until my back had hit the wall. I looked to Merlin and Arthur with wide terrified eyes.
"What just happened?" Merlin whispered to Arthur, who was trying to get over the kiss. That was when I decided to pull myself together. I was acting pathetic.
"U… uh we should go…" I muttered, fear clear in my voice, my face beet red.
"What happened to you?" Merlin questioned which caught me. I opened my mouth but closed it looking to the ground so my face was covered. The future Merlin wanted me to tell this Merlin something but I have forgotten. Anyways, I couldn't talk about it around Arthur I mean he is the king's son. It had happened before and I never got to know who this man was; I wasn't going to tell anyone soon. Oh no, why would I start telling people my problems and show my negative side? It would be selfish to do so it is best to just be negative and upset.
"It isn't anything I was being stupid and wanted to get some ingredients. Come on let us just go…" I murmured, I could tell they both knew I was lying but they kept quiet.
When we got back to the castle Uther required to speak with me, I wasn't sure if this was going to go well or not. I walked up to him, I was going to lie but I couldn't give them the hassle of hunting down a sorcerer.
"Please tell me what happen to cause you to be gone for so long." Uther declared I looked him in the eye. I wasn't going to tell him the truth but it didn't mean I couldn't want to just run like a coward.
"I… wanted to get some special herbs but then I was knocked out and then all I remember is Prince Arthur and Merlin in front of me." I partly lied, I wasn't telling all of the truth, why would I?
"Do you remember a little before that?" I pretended to think hardly but then shook my head.
"No sire, I am sorry for causing trouble. I promise it will not happen again." I bowed, Uther nodding at me.
"As I trust Arthur you will be his servant when Merlin cannot. You will stay in his site nearly every minute." Why Arthur? Uther why! If only you knew! I pretended to not be affected by this.
"Of course sire, if you wish." I replied
"Oh and while you work Gaius will keep a closer eye on you." I nodded then bowed.
The next day I was drained, I didn't sleep hardly at all last night. Uther had set a list of things I had to do and where I should be; even who was watching me. In addition, I guess I am extremely lucky being who I am.
When I got to the dorms of Arthur's I sighed. I would rather have the trouble then to have knights fight a sorcerer. Knocking on the door, I waited patiently for someone to answer. When I got a groan, I opened the door timidly, poking my head inside then stepping fully inside. The place was beautiful and spacious with fiery scarlet everywhere. I noticed a familiar blond lying in his bed. I blushed at the sight; I sat on the furthest seat and waited patiently.
"You're here then?" I jumped at the sound of his low voice. I nodded but then realised he still had his eyes closed.
"Well… the King wanted me to." I shrugged my shoulders slightly, very uncomfortable.
"Come here and sit." I gave him a strange look but obeyed, sitting on the double bed. The bed was the most comfortable thing I had ever sat on; I even sunk when I sat down! I cannot see how Arthur could awake every morning in this luxury.
"You are so lucky." I murmured mostly to myself. I didn't mean to say that aloud. "Uh… ignore that I was talking to myself about an old friend I haven't seen in years!"
"Right… you finally are falling for me?" The tone of his voice said it was more of a statement then a question.
"What!" My face went an even darker crimson. "What gives you that idea? I never said anything like that, you are the Prince and I am a person of no importance!" I panicked, waving my hands around slightly. He put my arms down, I looked at him in confusion.
"You even kissed me you know, you said that stuff. Anyways stop swinging your arms around, it is causing a draft and I don't have a top on you know." My eyes wet wide, I stood up quickly and walked to the furthest wall away from him but so he could see me. Eagerly looking around for a top of his I spotted on and threw it at him. It didn't go all the distance so I picked it up, reluctantly went over to him, and gently laid it on his bed.
"Could you put it on please, I don't personally want to see you topless." I mumbled, blushing madly again. Turning around I walked to the door to go outside and wait.
"Elizabeth you have to stay." Arthur stated sound rather smug. Turning around to him I nodded.
"Sorry, I forgot. Anyways I bet you don't even know how." I joked, smiling slightly but it hardly showed. Apparently, Arthur had seen the smiled and smirked.
"Well a matter of fact I can, I just prefer other people doing it for me." My eyes widened when I understood what he meant by this.
"No, I have faith you will be a great King one day but I deny you're… request… this is just wrong." I quickly squeaked out, he walked to me, still slightly tired. He was bear chested so I looked away from him.
"Are you shy when I am around you?" He questioned, smirking. I sighed knowing fully well, what he was trying to do.
"No, it is just I think it as rude to look at a man's chest if they are not related or in any romantic relationship." I stated it was partly true after all.
"Sure… trying to find a way out of it. Well I am going back to my bed to sleep; the knights are out there so don't try anything." Arthur told her, I nodded. Arthur could be such a pain in the butt when he wanted. I sat in one of the corners, wrapping one arm covering my stomach whilst the other arm was wrapped around my legs that came up to my chest.
"How can you get back to sleep in the morning?" She mumbled and it seemed Arthur heard her.
"You know you should sit somewhere more comfortable." I sighed at him; he obviously didn't know some villages didn't have beds to sleep on.
"I like the floor; I spent ten years sleeping on it. On a chair I cannot sit like this even if it is un-lady-like." I smiled at him kindly. I then stood up. "How can you live like this anyways? It is extremely boring; I would rather be making medicine or getting you something to eat or anything! I am going insane!" I exclaimed, opening my arms wide.
"That isn't my problem, just be quiet and sit somewhere." I did just that, not speaking, I ended up sleeping.
When I woke up, I snuggled into a soft squishy thing. I found it very comfortable whatever it was. I felt like I was on Heaven's clouds. It was amazing. I snuggled further into the heaven cloud then was met with flesh. I jumped, opening my eyes.
"Arthur! What on earth! Why am I… you…?" I was speechless; I did not really know what to do. I just wondered how I got here. Arthur lazily opened one eye.
"Why are you in my bed?" He ordered it then hit me. Merlin, I was going to murder him even if I would be killed myself.
"Can I somehow get away with murdering Merlin?" I growled with clenched teeth.
"I don't think so but I could." He murmured I was hugging him though. I was enjoying hugging him though… it wasn't right in so many ways.
"Hmm, well let's not kill him but maybe get our revenge on him. I have the perfect plan though he knows me too well. He would know all my pranks I used to perform before I came here. Probably, out of shape with pranking. Don't think I would enjoy it anymore either…" I grumbled I saw a smirk form on Arthur's face. Only then did I realised I said far too much.
"So you used to prank people, that is hilarious considering what you are like now." He grinned.
"Yes well when everyone in your family is murdered it changes a person." I avoided his gaze that now was searching for my eyes.
Later on, Arthur and I had formed a plan to avenge Merlin. It would be one of the most fun things I have done in a long time and it made me smile during the whole time. The plan was genius, which we both worked on together. That was what made it even greater.
Sorry this had a rubbish rushed ending but i just wanted to write this before i had to revise for tests on the first day back. I am grateful i go back on Tuesday and not Monday! I love how Elizabeth has that twist of her personality. I mean everyone has got to love pranking right? No? Oh well X3~
