Finally here is chapter 3! Hope you like! Thanks for all the follows and favs. I honestly didn't think you guys would like this as much as you did, but I'm grateful. I hope I didn't muck it up with this chapter. This is the actioney/horror part. It does involve torture, but not too extensive cause I'm not the best at torture scenes yet. I honestly tried, but this is as good as it gets. It's also much longer for you guys, just like I promised. :)

I'm also sorry for this being so unspaced. I can't seem to figure out how to space it in paragraphs and such like I want it when I upload. I'm trying but it really doesn't like me. :(

Anyways, don't be afraid to review, especially on this chapter, cause I really wanna know what you thought of it and if I did it justice.

As Arthur and Merlin were walking back towards their chambers, Merlin suddenly started to feel dizzy. He couldn't explain why he felt this way, until he suddenly started to lose his awareness of his surroundings. Suddenly it was like he wasn't in Camelot anymore. It looked a little like his mums place in Ealdor. When he tried to move, he realized he couldn't. It was like he was in a different body. No sound came out of his mouth either. Merlin was starting to get scared now. He thought it might be a spell, but when he tried to access his magic, it was like it was locked behind a door. He could feel it, but just couldn't reach it.

Suddenly a voice sounded in his head.

"Hello Emrys. I've heard so much about you and I thought that I should finally get to meet you. I have a present for you that I think you'll enjoy. Well, maybe not you, but I know I'll enjoy it. I don't know if you've recognized your surroundings yet, but if you haven't, let me tell you where we are. It's Ealdor. Now, if I'm correct, which I am, I believe you have a mother who lives here. Hunith right? I also believe this is her house isn't it?"

Merlin all the while kept screaming at the man to stop whatever he was going to do. Merlin could tell this man was evil and that no good could come from having him in Ealdor as he seemed to know a little too much about Merlin. Merlin desperately tried to call his magic, but he just couldn't access it, which in return was causing him to have an internal meltdown. He wasn't sure if the man could hear him or not, but somehow he thought he might. Merlin just kept praying to every god out there to leave his mum alone and leave her out of whatever this was.

Meanwhile with the mystery man, he was enjoying feeling Emrys' fear and anger. It was exhilarating being able to reduce the 'Great Emrys' to this pathetic, begging mess, but he had a job to do and so he had to focus on that at the moment as the spell he was using to keep Emrys connected was very draining on him.

"Now now Emrys. You need to control that temper of yours and watch your language. Threatening me won't help you or your mother. Begging won't either. Although the one who will be begging in a minute will be poor mother dearest. Let the show begin!" the man laughed maniacally.

All Merlin could do was watch in horror as the man stepped into his mothers house unannounced and ambushed the poor woman.

Merlin watched as Hunith looked up in surprise as the man approached her.

"Oh, hello. I'm sorry I didn't here you knock. You gave me a bit of a scare," Merlin watched his mother say.

"That's quite alright. I was here to find you anyways," the man said and lunged at Hunith.

All Merlin could do was watch his mothers face morph to shock as the man grabbed his mother and roughly threw her on the floor. Hunith let out a little cry of pain.

"Wh-who are you? And what do you want with me?" Hunith stuttered.

"Well, you see," the man began. "It's not really you I want. You are merely are a tool as a means to an end to me. You are for me to play with, so I can teach a certain someone a lesson. Oh and I want you to say hello to your precious son for me."

Hunith looked at the man in confusion and fear for her son.

"What do you mean? How is Merlin here? What did you do to my baby boy!" she screamed, as she lunged at the man.

The man quickly side-stepped and threw a punch at Hunith' face. Hunith crumpled to the floor in a heap.

"Now now. Your a feisty one aren't ya. This will make this all the more fun!" the man smiled mischievously, kicking her in the ribs. "Now about your son. You see he's not here physically, but his mind is here and he is seeing through my eyes at this very moment. Everything that happens right here and now, he can see and hear. I'm just putting on a show for Emrys. Now do you have any last words for your baby boy before you die a slow painful death?"

Merlin watched as his mother started to cry in defeat and wished he could do something to help her, but he was helpless to do anything. Merlin was pulled out of his self-pity by his mothers voice talking to him.

"Merlin, my baby. Don't you dare blame yourself for this. This is not your fault. I love you so much. Just remember that even after I'm gone, I'll always be with you. You have Arthur and all your friends there to support you. Don't shut them out! You will be fine. I know you'll miss me, but please don't dwell on my death. I wish you didn't have to watch this, but there is nothing you, nor I, can do to change this. Say hello to my grandchild for me and remember to tell him/her all about their Aunty Hunith and how much she loved them"

Merlin watched as his mother continued to cry. He wished there was something he could do to keep her with him, but his magic wasn't working. Merlin' heart broke at her words and inside he was crying and screaming his heart out to the man to not do this. To punish him, but not his mother, but the man was ignoring him.

"That was very touching and all, but now I have work to do. You've said your goodbyes and now I get to have my fun!" the man said gleefully.

Merlin watched as the man produced a knife and walked toward his mother. He watched as the knife came down and ripped into his mothers thigh. Blood came gushing out as well as a scream from Hunith.

Merlin could tell the man was enjoying every slice and gash he made on his mother. Next he sliced her arm and then her cheek, all the while his mother kept screaming like a banshee. It seemed to be music to the mans ears. He continued to slice and dice his mother, until he decided to stop.

Merlin could tell the man was bored of slicing into his mothers skin.

The man grew bored of playing with the knife and decided to look around for a new tool. He noticed a mallet was sitting on the side and walked over to grab it. When he turned around he saw Hunith slowly trying to crawl her way towards the door, leaving a wide trail of blood as she dragged her body. Smiling, he approached her, mallet in hand.

"And where do you think your going. We haven't even started."

Hunith stopped crawling and looked up with terrified eyes at her assailant.

"Please. Please don't. If your going to kill me, please just kill me now." she begged.

The man just laughed. "I don't think so."

The man raised the mallet and brought it down onto he left leg. There was a distinct SNAP followed by a bloodcurdling scream.

"Get ready for the show to begin Emrys."

Thanks for reading!

Also, sorry for the weird updates. I haven't marked any days on when I'll update but I wanna make it no longer than a week before the next update. Although this story is giving me trouble with writing it. I have the whole thing planned out, but it's getting it written out and making it sound good that's hard. I've been busy though with work and preparing for college, so who knows...

Vote in my poll. It's still up and going on my profile.

...til next time
