Gosh, why am I still single?
All my friends have had at least 2 boyfriends, At least
But that's okay, a fangirl who right fanfiction and watches youtube and Merlin has NO time for that
Evalynn POV
We walk along the dark, quiet streets in a four: me, Will, Beth and Alex. That's when I hear horses from behind and we turn around. It's King Arthur and Merlin, and all the other Knights. They all look exhausted. Alex and Beth carry on, but I ask Will to wait. He nods and I pace towards the King.
"Evalynn," Merlin says and smiles.
"Yeah," I reply, "I presume you're all out of water. Here," I give King Arthur my water bottle.
"Thank you," Arthur says, and gulps down the water. Then he gives the bottle to Merlin and he takes some. Then the Knights.
"Thanks," Merlin says and smiles.
"Kind. Just like your mother," Arthur says and nods in a respectful way.
"Th- thank you, sire." I bow my head and quickly move out of their way.
Will paces towards me. "He's the King?"
"Yeah," I say. "He's… surprisingly… kind."
"Yeah," Will says and takes my hand. "Let's go home, Evalynn. I'm so tired."
I smile and nod.
Merlin POV
I make it back home half alive. Gaius looks at me over his books. "How was the trip?"
"Really… stupid. We heard the villagers and Arthur like an idiot decided to go straight for the danger. We cut through and sneaked into the castle's dungeons to find the crystal. When we got there we found out that Morgana had taken it out days ago." I sigh and slump down into the chair.
Gaius pulls out two bowls and fills them with soup. I hungrily bring it all down. "And I also met the girl, Evalynn. She's our gardener's daughter. But I sensed something. She has magic. Gaius, she's just like me."
"Well, you can make new friends."
I open my mouth to speak, but then I think better of it.
Then, me and Gaius go to speak at the same time. "But-" "wait-"
I wait for Gaius to speak first, but he seems to wait for me. "Well, it seems like she's a nice person. But yet again, it could all be a trick."
"She's the gardener's daughter. Mrs Turner has lived here for years."
"I guess," I say, trying to think it all over. Do I ask her if she has magic? What would she say? No, I presume. What if I prove to her that I have magic? After all, if she's an enemy and tells Arthur about my powers, Arthur would smirk and say, "Merlin? Are you kidding me?"
But right now I am too tired to think about anything clearly, so I decide I better go to bed.
Tris POV
I find Tobias' face in the sheets somewhere, and he's smiling at me, his eyes shining. I crawl over to look down at his face. He whispers, "I love you," and pulls me down into a kiss. I want to tease him a little, but when his lips find mine I forget the whole idea of teasing and just give myself completely to him. He finds a way to completely cover me with his arms and body, and I feel like this is safer than heaven. Then, he props himself on his elbows above me, his face inches from mine as I lie on my back. I feel this sweet aching inside of me as I curl myself around his strong body and he whispers things into my ear that every girl would want to hear.
Then, I hear a scream. It's a long, harsh scream somewhere near us. I jump out of bed and quickly pull my shirt and jeans on, and run across the corridor towards the source of the noise. When I cautiously walk into the Initiate's room I see Lexy cowering in the corner, sobbing.
"What happened?" I approach her.
"Please, don't punish me, please, Six, I'm sorry."
"I'm not going to punish you," I say, feeling a little guilty for shouting at her earlier on.
"It was… was Parker. Richard Parker. He beat Michael up," she says in a thin voice, and starts sobbing again.
"Where are they?"
Lexy screams again and I turn around, feeling my heart jump inside my chest. It's Tobias.
"Here, it's okay, Lexy. It's only Four. Tell me, where is your brother?"
"Richard took him. I don't know where. I- I was just reading my book and then he came in and started making fun of me. Michael grabbed his shoulder and punched him, and Richard, being bigger than my brother, grabbed him and started to kick him. Then he threw him and I screamed, and he took his body and dragged him away somewhere. I'm so scared, Six!" Lexy cries uncontrollably and I stare at Tobias.
"Can you find Richard and Michael? I'll stay and comfort Lexy."
"Of course," Tobias says. "Don't worry, when I find him, I'll beat the crap out of him."
Lexy doesn't seem relieved, more like shocked. "It's a joke," I say and give Tobias the eye.
"Okay," Tobias says and walks out.
"Listen, Lexy. You'll be fine, I promise. Tobi- Four will find your brother." I sigh. I nearly said Tobias' name aloud. But Lexy is too petrified to care. I just sit there, trying to find the right words that I am useless at.
I'll be back guys! Pinkie promise!
