We wouldn't want that now would we? :) Be sure to check out the trailer that has been made for this fanfiction too!
Anyways, on with the story!
Chapter 3:
I've lied to you the same way that I always do.
This is the last smile, that I'll fake for the sake of being with you.
Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown start to break down..
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie, everything has to end.
You'll soon find that we're out of time left.
To watch it all unwind, the sacrifice is never knowing.
Why I never walked away,
Why I played myself this way,
Now I see your testing me,
Pushes me away..
"MERLIN! JUST STOP THIS ALREADY!" Arthur shouted, the fustration was building up inside him and finally he was releasing it all.
This made Merlin freeze but within seconds he snapped out of his phase, "NO, ARTHUR! I'M NOT PUTTING UP WITH YOUR ORDERS ANYMORE, ALRIGHT? I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF BEING TREATED LIKE NOTHING WHEN I'M SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT! YOU KNOW WHAT? YOUR NOT EVEN WORTH PROTECTING! I WAS RISKING MY LIFE FOR NOTHING. NOTHING!" Merlin bursted out then suddenly vanished within the darkest midsts; still lurking around Camelot somewhere.
Merlin wouldn't hide, he wouldn't be afraid to use his magic anymore. Should he be afraid? No. He does not care what people think anymore and how the judge him and who he really is.
'Merlin, why are you so goddamn complicated!'
'Just shut up, Arthur!'
'Why are you doing this? What will you honestly gain from all this, Merlin? All you will ever be known as is a cold blooded murder. Innocent people are dying and your just causing more destruction constantly!'
'Ha, I think the cold blooded killer here is your pathetic excuse for a king, Uther. He is the one who has killed my kind every single year and I've been forced to watch them be sentenced to death! All they've ever done is use their magic for good but no. Your father kills people to ease his guilt from what he done years ago to your mother!'
'Merlin! Those were Morgause's words, she wasn't my mother who we saw, you said so yourself!'
Just then the connection broke suddenly.
Arthur looked around him, everything was moving in slow motion for him.
People screaming and crying.
People dying slowly and painfully.
The fires spreading throughout Camelot.
Everything just felt like a nightmare to him, one that he could never wake up from. But this is reality. His friend Merlin was the cause of this destruction and not for a split second did Arthur ever think that Merlin was ever capable of such a thing.
A almighty roar then snapped him out of his thoughts as he then rushed back into Camelot's walls to find the Knights.
Knights were preparing their weapons, making sure they were sharp enough.
"Sire, is it true that this is Merlin's doing?" Sir Elyan asked, holding his sword gently.
"Yes. Please, no more questions about Merlin." Arthur ordered firmly; he was sick of hear that boy's voice now, he was already in his head and he didn't need the people to say his name too.
"Knights, today I will make sure that tonight is not your night to die! Tonight, you are fighting because you want to serve and protect Camelot. You are not fighting tonight because you are forced to, but because you want to. If any of you do die tonight, you die a hero of Camelot. You will be remembered of your bravery!" Arthur's voice echoed throughout the hallways.
"Yes Sire!" They all shouted in union.
The Knights then began walking out with their weapons; determination on their faces.
But, Gwaine stopped by for a minute to speak with Arthur.
"Gwaine, you must go. I will be right behind you." Arthur gestured him to leave with the other Knights into the Courtyard.
"Merlin. Good person he was." Gwaine's voice soft and gentle.
"I know. I was actually mistaken to think he were..wise." Athur dwelled on the thought, the time he told Merlin that he sometimes displayed wisdom when they were preparing to face Cendred and Morgause's army.
"I still say the Merlin we knew is still in there but has now been buried deep inside of him. Never have I seen Merlin act like this. I never knew he were a socerer but I did have my suspicions on him that something was going on."Gwaine frowned, raising an eyebrow at Arthur.
"Come on then, time for talking is over." Arthur smiled at him as they clutched tightly onto their weapons like they were prize possesions.
Arthur then punched Gwaine playfully as they then began walking through the corridors of Camelot's castle walls towards the outside and into the Courtyard where many dangers lyed ahead of them.
I've tried like you,
To do everything you wanted to.
This is the last time,
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you.
Everything falls apart,
Even the people who never frown eventually
Break down.
The Sacrifice of hiding in a lie..
As they were approaching outside of the Castle walls they could hear the screams of people who were running to safety inside the Castle.
"Is that who I think it is?" Gwaine questioned as he walked closer.
"Merlin.." Arthur growled as he was ready to just lunge straight at Merlin.
Merlin was then looking up at something which made Arthur and Gwaine look when suddenly they saw a carved statue become alive and was falling down their direction.
Who was it meant to hit? Athur.
"Arthur, move out the way!" Gwaine then shoved Arthur away from the falling statue as the impact hit Gwaine instead, causing his body to become limp and numb.
"Gwaine!" Arthur then quickly paced towards him bit was stop but the soft voice.
"No, I'll only slow you down. Carry on without me, Arthur.." The weakness now showing in his voice as he groaned from the pain that screamed through his body.
Arthur then gave him a agreeing nod as he then turned to the Knights who were facing powerful and dark creatures.
'Arthur..let me tell you something about you, your father and Ygraine.'
One thing,
I Don't Know Why.
It doesn't even matter how hard you try,
keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
to remind myself how I tried so hard..
In spite of you mocking me,
Acting like I was part of your property,
Remembering all the times you fought with me..
I'm surprised it got so far..
Things aren't the way the way they were before,
You wouldn't even recognise me anymore but it all comes back to me,
In the end..
~Merlin's POV- In the end
R&R IF YOU WANT MORE, I'M TEMPTED TO STOP THIS STORY BECAUSE MY LACK OF CONFIDENCE!
