Arthur blinked as he opened his eyes. His head hurt, but it didn't feel to bad as his memories started to come back to him.

He had been in a cave with Kilgharrah, after the dragon had dropped him in the air that was. And then they had been forced to leave, because if some people and Merlin-

Arthur's thought's froze on that word - Merlin. His important and very dear friend Merlin.

Arthur remembered the pain he'd felt when that strange unknown item had hit him on the head, Merlin was much weaker than him and when he was hurt, he was even weaker.

Arthur desperately started scanning around the place for Merlin, not taking in any of his surrounding's to worried about finding a certain someone.

Then he panicked.

He couldn't find the one he so desperately hoped he would find. Had his kidnapper's only taken him? Why wouldn't they take both of them? Why knock Merlin out first then only take him? Why, why, why. It was all that filled his head, all that was running through his mind at the current moment.

Then why's turned in to what if's. What if Merlin was dead. What if Merlin was lost some where in the forest. What if Merlin had managed to get home to Ealdor. What if Merlin … Arthur shivered stopping his thought's. He felt as if there was some thing that he was missing, some thing related to Merlin.

He'd looked around the place and he'd thought of possible situation's, none of which he had actually liked, so next all he had to do was listen and the maybe find some one he could actually talk to and maybe, just maybe, get some answer's out of off, although he knew just how unlikely that was.

Arthur decided to go with listening first. He was listening as carefully as he could and was currently only hearing foot steps and light chatter.

He sighed that was so not helpful he hated it when thing's weren't clear. It made him have to use his brain and he hated using his brain some times, especially when it involved a lot of hard thinking.

That was Merlin's job.

It was Merlin's job to be an idiot, to do all of the thinking and planning and what ever job's Arthur gave him to do considering the fact that Merlin, in all reality, was his man servant.

His man servant. No his friend. Arthur lowered his head in disappointment.

His wonderful friend who he had failed to protect.

Poor Merlin. Then he remembered his promise to Gaius. If he went back to Camelot with no Merlin or a Merlin in a worse state than when he left he was, as good as or even, dead.

Arthur took his time to look around. There was nothing interesting in his little captive area. No weapon's or any thing he could use to get him self free.

He hadn't brought his armour, or his sword and he even hadn't brought his crossbow with him when they went to meet this friend of Merlin's thinking that this friend was a person when it turned out to be a damn dragon called Kilgharrah!

Or maybe Merlin could call Kilgharrah, like he had done before. Then Kilgharrah could come flying in, save them, hopefully bring some kind if weapon for Arthur to use, so that he could kill some one who had held them captive - no wait get rid of the weapon idea. Arthur thought before continuing.

Then Kilgharrah could fly them back to their horses and WAIT this time to make sure they actually managed to get back to Ealdor in one piece this time with out having any one jump them from behind and knock them out using some thing very heavy.

Although when Arthur thought about it, it probably wouldn't take some thing very heavy to knock Merlin out.

The voices out side got louder and Arthur could hear some of what they were saying as he shook his head to get rid off his thought's, so that he could try and put together the words they were saying in to actual sentences.

The most he managed to remember was a couple of word's out of the many that had been spoken by what sounded like quite a few different people's voices.

They had spoke about him and Merlin, but had actually named him as Prince Arthur of Camelot and just assumed that Merlin was some kind of knight or servant. Arthur had forced him self to hold on to his laughter, so that he didn't give away the fact that he was awake and planning an escape.

When they stopped speaking he started to look around desperately trying to find some thing that could break the chain's, which he seemed to have just realised (After a lot of time wasted trying to pull them off) that they were metal and that he would need some thing much harder than his hands and teeth to brake them, he found a couple of big stones.

They were not of very much use to him. Merlin should be able to free him self when he wakes up he has magic then he could come and free Arthur, because they are friends.

Or Merlin could free him self, some how or some weird way remember the location, get Kilgharrah to come back with him and then free Arthur that way.

Although Arthur like both idea's he loved the idea where Merlin would just free them both then kiss Arthur. That was Arthur favourite idea by far.

But it would most likely never happen.

Arthur felt the chain's from around his wrist fall to the ground. In all his thinking he hadn't realised his anger had suddenly risen.

When Arthur was angry he could be very dangerous. He could be even more dangerous though if he didn't know what he was angry at or why he was angry.

Standing up carefully, Arthur quietly made his way out. Compared to earlier no one seemed to be around. It was dark, so Arthur assumed that it was the night, most likely some time near mid night considering the fact that it was only just getting dark when he and Merlin had been taken here.

Arthur was not a very quiet person. He and his father shouted quite often, Merlin however was a quiet person.

Oh why couldn't Arthur have some of Merlin's skills.

Merlin has magic, a good brain for thinking, he was quiet and helpful. Arthur was sort of the opposite to Merlin if he fought about for a long amount of time, but he wasn't much of a thinker and never had been.

He continued to creep around as carefully as possible. Merlin could be good at hiding if he wished to be. Arthur remembered the time all to well when Merlin had hidden him self underneath his bed. That was the last place Arthur was going to actually look for Merlin before that. Now though if he wanted to find Merlin he always looked under his bed first.

Something bumped in to Arthur and he, having quick reflexes, grabbed them, quite easily managing to keep a hold on them until he realised who it was he had bumped in to.

"Merlin." He hissed. Only to be met with Merlin's lovely goofy smile.

"Yes Arthur?" Merlin asked.

"How did you get free?"

"Same why you did obviously. I broke the chains." Merlin said as if it was obvious.

"I know that I mean did you use magic." Arthur though he had been clear enough the first time he had asked.

"Yes I used magic." Merlin smiled pathetically. "And I used my magic to knock every one out."

It was now Arthur's turn to smile. "You are great when you use your brain." Arthur said patting Merlin's head, rather than hitting him on the head.

The two walked off silently neither of them knowing what to say until Arthur decided to speak up when they had found Mystery and Llamrei again, who unsurprisingly was stuffing her face with the green grass that was, since it had got dark actually looked black in colour.

"We missed your mother's cooking."

All Merlin could bring him self to do in reply was laugh.
