chapter 6 is now up


"Arthur" A voice called, Arthur opened his eyes

Arthur looked over to Gwaine; he was still a sleep. Arthur then looked over to Merlin; he was looking straight at Arthur

"Merlin your awake" Arthur said in surprise rushing to Merlin's side

"Arthur what happened?" Merlin asked, Arthur did not think Merlin could forget him revealing his magic

"Nothing much" Arthur said "Morgana kidnapped you and nearly killed you"

"Oh" was all Merlin could say

"Merlin I'm sorry for the way I acted, I was acting like a prat" Arthur said "I will understand if you don't forgive me"

Arthur and Merlin just looked at each other, before hearing someone moving behind them

"Well, look who decided to wake up" Gwaine said getting up of the bed

"We should tell the other that Merlin's awake" Arthur said "Merlin, are you hungry?"

Merlin nodded, Arthur picked up the bag, looked through it and found an apple. He passed it to Merlin. Merlin took the apple and started to take small bites out of it. Gwaine had walked out of the room to tell the others that Merlin had woken up.


Where the others are


Gwaine crashed through the door, this make a lot and ended up waking the others

"Gwaine, do you have to make so much noise?" Elyan asked getting off of the bed

"Merlin's awake" Gwaine shouted in excitement

"Gwaine you don't need to shout" Leon said "Wait did you say Merlin's awake"

"Yes, he's with Arthur at the moment" Gwaine said

"He's with Arthur that can't be good" Elyan said

"We should go see him" Leon said "buts let go get Percival first"

After they had gone and got Percival, Merlin was sitting up when they came rushing into the room. They all stood around the bed asking lots of questions all at the same time. Arthur could see that Merlin was feeling uncomfortable about all this

"Knights" Arthur shouted after that the knights went silent "Give Merlin some room to breath after all he just woke up"

"Arthur, we need to get back to Camelot" Merlin said trying to get out of the bed but was stopped by Arthur "Arthur stop, Morgan's going to destroy Camelot"

"Merlin I'm not letting you get yourself killed" Arthur said "I lost you once, I'm not going to let it happen again"

"Arthur, I'm..." Merlin said but was intruded by Arthur

"Merlin, you're staying here" Arthur said

"Arthur, I'm coming with you" Merlin said "And there is nothing you to stop me"

Arthur just smiled at Merlin's determination. He had always been there for him and if anyone was going to die by Morgana's hand it would not be Merlin. Arthur told the knights to get the horses ready for them to leave tonight.


At Camelot (few days later)


"Merlin I thought you said Morgana was going to destroy Camelot" Leon said

"That's what she told me" Merlin said while Arthur helped Merlin of his horse/Arthur's horse.

Arthur took Merlin straight to Gaius' chambers so that Gaius could treat Merlin's wounds. Gaius told Arthur that he did a good job of keeping Merlin's wounds clean. Gaius gave Merlin a sleeping draft to give him the much needed sleep that he needed

"Gaius you knew didn't you" Arthur said once he was sure Merlin was deep in sleep

"Sire, I don't understand" Gaius said

"Gaius don't lie to me you knew that Merlin had magic" Arthur growled

"Sire, I had no choice" Gaius said "I was not going to see my ward killed just because he was born with magic"

"Gaius I understand why you did but why did Merlin not trust me" Arthur said "Trust me enough to tell me"

"Sire, you were the son of a man who killed those with magic" Gaius said "You must understand that Merlin had his reasons"

"Gaius I'll be in my chambers if you need me" Arthur said as he walked to the door

"Arthur" Gaius called then Arthur turned round "Thank you"

"Gaius I'm not sure I should get any thanks" Arthur said before leaving the room


Arthur's chambers (night)


"Come in" Arthur called when he heard a knock on his door

"Sire we reserved word that Morgana plans to attack tomorrow at sunset" Leon said

"Leon, make sure our knights are ready to fight" Arthur said

"Yes sire" Leon said before leaving the room

Arthur looked out of his window, he could not let Merlin fight Morgana; Gaius even said that Merlin was in no way for fighting not with his wounds. Arthur sighed, how he was going to make the most powerful warlock of all time stay put and not get in the fight against Morgana.
