Spoilers: Well, if you haven't seen Merlin, you wouldn't understand the terrible misfortune that befalls our favourite boys on their daily hunting trips.

Rated: K+

Author's Note: Drabble four, yeaaaaah! This is a personal favourite of mine. I've read so many fics that start with a hunting trip and develop into something so much worse, so I thought I'd join the party! Hope you enjoy!

Also, thanks to all those who have reviewed this story so far! You make me happy, tehe.

Also also, thanks for a certain person (accidentpronexx) for looking over this. I'm paranoid even when it comes to drabbles...


I'm cursed, Merlin thought bitterly.

Somewhere in the cluster of trees behind him, Arthur was fighting off the last of the bandits.

The young warlock could've been aiding the prince, but he was too busy lying on the forest floor, hiding behind a tree, mulling over the fact that he was cursed.

A harmless hunting trip, Arthur had said; a two-day tedious trip out of Camelot.

Harmless my arse!

It was the afternoon of the first day, and they'd already been ambushed.

This was the last time Merlin decided to think that one of their hunting trips could be uneventful.
