A/N Okay, so here's the thing, I've been in a very good mood lately so I've decided to post a one-shot everyday this week! :D So yeah, here's chapt. 3 tad sad but I hope you enjoy anyway!


Refractory: stubbornly disobedient.

"M-Merlin, you have to-to go." Arthur's frail voice spoke up suddenly.

"No, Arthur," The young warlock said sternly as he looked down at his friends bloodied face. "I'm not going anywhere."

"Cenred's men- they'll be here soon..." The prince's face screwed up into a mask of agony as he tried to push himself up. "Y-you have to leave before they kill you too."

"Arthur, you're not going to die, do you understand?" Merlin's eyes fixed themselves on the other man's quickly closing ones.

"You're going to live, and become that future prat that I've worked so hard to keep safe all these years, it's not your time do die, not yet." The servants voice was so set and completely determined that Arthur almost believed him, but the red hot fire he kept on feeling course through his body kept on pushing that thought away.

A stab through the torso...most people never live from those.

"Merlin," The dying prince said trying to summon the last bit of strength he had to get this through his head.

"Leave, right now. That's an order." Arthur was genuinely pleased that the words came out sounding a bit fierce.

Slowly, he let his eyes drift close, let the image of his stubborn-ass servant leaning over him fade, and let the rest of the world disappear for the last time.

The last thing the young prince saw was a flash of golden eyes above him, and a soft voice murmur:

I'm not leaving...

His stupid warlock servant never did listen to what he said anyway.


Yup…deep right? Lol not really but I hoped you like it! :D we needed some drama to add to this already silly beginning lol. Okay well yeah hope you liked it!

Next up: Biddable: Easily led or commanded; obedient. (Easy word but I thought having an opposite to the last one would be kinda cool! ;))
