They throw me onto the hard ground and walk away. I'm tempted to follow but I think i might need help. I run to the Tavern and open the doors cautiously.
I look round for Gwaine and find him leaning over the bar... His lips pressed against the skinny brunette bar owner's.
I pick up the closest tankard and throw it at him. He spins round and stares at me with hard eyes. Tears start falling from mine as he mouths; oh gosh.
"Elissa!" He calls as I run out the tavern.
"Elissa!" I spin on my heels and turn to face him.
"What Gwaine? What could you possibly have to say to me now?" I snap.
"Elissa! I'm sorry! It wasn't what it looked like! She kissed me!" Gwaine protests.
"So you kissed her back!"I yell, "Gwaine!"
I start sobbing and fall to the ground. I bury my knees in my chest and curl up.
Gwaine sits beside me.
"It's all falling apart Gwaine. Everything. Because Arthur is to stupid to realise that Merlin means no harm and he's been protecting him." I cry. Gwaine puts his arms around me and pulls me close.
"It's ok 'lissa. I understand. This is my fault. 'm sorry. " He coos. He kisses my hair and we sit on the cobbles for awhile.
"Arthur. We need to talk to you." Gwaine says, his voice serious. Arthur is suprise by his tone and nods for him to continue.
"I'm sorry." Gwaine smiles. "Shall we go talk to Arthur?" I nod and we stand up. We walk to Arthur's room and open the doors.
"Arthur. We need to talk." I say, my voice so serious it scares me.
Gwaine says; "Incase you haven't noticed, your kingdom his falling apart. Ever since Mer-"
"Don't say his name." Arthur hisses.
"-Lin left." Gwaine persists. "You've not left your room once and Gwen is running Camelot for you. Admit it Arthur, you miss him. Merlin isn't a bad person. Maybe there is good magic in this world. Maybe you are wrong."
The dungeon doors close behind us and the guards march away.
"That went well!" Gwaine smiles, sitting down on the floor. I sit down beside him.
"If you say so." I smile back. He kisses me softly but pulls away when I don't kiss back.
"Please don't be angry at me Elissa. I'm sorry." Gwaine begs. "I love you."
His voice is sincere and truthful.
"I know Gwaine. But it might take time for me to love you back." I sigh before I get up and sit in the other corner of the cell.
I wake up on the hard ground. Gwaine is snoring softly and I hear footsteps.
Gwen stops in front of me and opens the door.
"Arthur needs to see you. And Gwaine too." She says, her face emotionless and hard. I stand up and kick Gwaine.
"Come on Gwaine. Arthur wants to see us." I say. He rolls over and stands up.
We walk in silence to the hall. Gwen pushes open the doors and we enter the hall. Arthur sits alone on his throne.
"Elissa. Gwaine. I need to apologise." Arthur says. "You were right. Merlin is not evil and I want you to find him." His eyes show his pain and I know that he really regrets sending away Merlin.
"Please." He says. Gwaine nods and I say,
"Yes sire. We will leave immediatly." Arthur nods and Gwaine and I leave. Leave to find Merlin.
