Merlin: How we became friends

by merlinxoxo1

This is what I think Merlin's life would have been when he was younger, he tries to avoid James and his gang but they are pretty hard to miss. When Will comes along all the bullies try to make friends with him Merlin just stays in the background but what happens if will doesn't want to be there friend?

4. Chapter 4

Merlin sighed as he lay on the floor in his 'bed' that night. He knew he mother was right and was only doing what she thought was best for him, but even though he couldn't help but feel hurt that his mother wouldn't trust anyone to keep his secret. "Well I suppose I wouldn't trust James and his gang" he mumbled to himself, "the others just ignore me, I'm sure if I wasn't Hunith's son people would comment." Everyone was friends with Hunith even people who barely even knew her could tell that she was an honest kind women.

Why couldn't people say that about me thought Merlin, I bet all they think about me as a weird kid and someone who is best off not even living here! Maybe I would be better off going to Camelot. Another side of Merlin's head answered this 'no, I couldn't leave my mother to do the crops all by herself I have to be by her side and protect her, somehow...'

"Merlin, are you still awake?" asked his mother, "yep..." replied Merlin. Hunith made her way towards Merlin and sat next to him. "Is everything alright Merlin? It's just recently you have been using your magic much more than you ever used to." Merlin didn't know how to respond to this "err I don't mean to use my magic, you and I both know it only happens without me being able to control it when I feel angry, threatened or scared." Merlin's mother tilted her head "so does that mean you feel angry, scared or threatened now?"

Merlin nodded silently "probably..." he mumbled, "well it seems to me that ever since James has come they have always been bothering you and –"she said before Merlin could cut in. "he is always the one there when you use your powers without meaning to! I have a right mind to tell his parents that he has been bullying you!" Merlin groaned "mum please don't, you will only make things worse! I can look out for myself; you and I both know that."

Hunith looked up at her son before replying "yes but that doesn't stop me from worrying about you." With that she gave him a hug before departing out of the room. She couldn't help but think that Merlin needed some sort of friend that could stop him from feeling so alone all the time.
