I'm so sorry about the late update...I was and a still sick...I have been too tired to write or anything but, now I finally have made a chapter!:D:D
And this time it isn't to short :D
After dinner Merlin went to Arthur's chamber, he was bored and he didn't wanted to go to his own chamber because the chance that Charles was there was big.
He knocked on the door and when he heard a enter he stepped inside. He frowned at the sighe Arthur was lying in the bed reading.
"I didn't know you like to read..." Merlin said with a smile.
Arthur laughed and took the book to the side.
"I don't...but, I was bored...first I wanted to go outside but..." Arthur said and then looked out the window.
Merlin looked to and saw the rain falling down hitting the window.
"Year...the weather changed so suddenly" Merlin agreed.
Arthur nodded.
Merlin went over to sit on the middle of the bed beside Arthur.
"Luckily for you I'm bored to...let's play a game" Merlin said grinned.
Arthur frowned.
"What game?" Arthur asked and sat completely up in the bed face to face with Merlin.
Merlin sighed thought about it.
"I...I don't know...what do you think?" Merlin asked.
"Is...games not for...you know...children?" Arthur said with a raised eye brow.
Merlin rolled his eyes.
"Not all games!...some games is for adult like us!" Merlin said demitted.
Arthur took his hands up in surrender.
"Okay! you win!..what game then?".
Merlin groaned.
"That is what I don't know! that is the reason I asked you!" he cried.
Arthur couldn't help chuckle a little.
"I don't know any games...when I was little I didn't play games so I don't know any games" Arthur said.
Merlin frowned.
"You didn't?" he asked.
Arthur shook his head.
"To bad...I played a lot when I was a child..." Merlin said with a sad look.
"Exactly! as a child...we a adults now...well, not exactly but, we're older now" Arthur said with a stern look.
"I know!" Merlin cried.
Then they were quiet. The only sound they could hear was the rain hitting the window.
Arthur looked at window and then at Merlin, who was deeply in thoughts, properly thinking about a game...
Arthur smirked when he got an idea in his head.
"I have a game in mind..." he said smirking.
Merlin came out of his thoughts.
"Really?" Merlin asked exited and came closer to Arthur to hear him.
Arthur nodded.
"Year...a really adult game" Arthur said with a smile.
Merlin grinned.
"Well, what is the game about?" Merlin asked exited.
"Hmm...it's hard to explain I better show you it instead" Arthur replied with a smirk.
Merlin nodded.
"Aright then show me!" Merlin said.
Arthur went closer to him and Merlin didn't move, Arthur was going to show him how the game worked so he sat completely still.
Arthur got closer and closer and slowly began to take his head to the side.
Merlin found himself close his eye.
Waiting.
Then Merlin felt Arthur's lips on his and he immediately kissed back.
The kiss was slow and gentle.
After some time they broke apart.
"I...I like this game" Merlin said.
Arthur smiled.
"You do?".
Merlin nodded.
"Yes...it's a good game..." Merlin said.
Arthur nodded.
Do you want to continue this game?" Arthur asked.
Merlin grinned.
"Yes" he replied.
Arthur smiled and kissed Merlin again.
The kiss deepened and Merlin took his arms around Arthur neck dragging Arthur's closer.
They were on their knees on the bed. Merlin's arms around Arthur neck and Arthur hands on Merlin's hips.
The kiss got more desperate and there was more passion in it. Merlin couldn't stop a small moan when Arthur took his tongue in.
They had kissed before but, it was nothing like this.
This time it was more desperate.
The kiss was full with passion, need and love
Merlin had no idea how or when but, suddenly he found himself in the bed wi5thb Arthur on top of him kissing him.
"Arthur..." Merlin moaned into the kiss.
Arthur moaned to.
When they needed air, they broke apart panting.
"That...is a good game" Merlin said panting.
Arthur laughed.
"Indeed..." Arthur agreed.
Merlin smiled and then Arthur leant into an another kiss but, Merlin took his head away looking guilty. Arthur shook his head knowing the look, he sat up in the bed.
"Oh no...stay" he said.
Merlin sighed, gave him a sad look and then to sat up in the bed.
"You know I can't...Charles-"
"So? Merlin he can't keep doing this to you!...he doesn't own you!" Arthur cut in.
"I know...but, if I don't he will get so angry and then it will hurt more..." Merlin said with sadness in his voice.
Arthur knew Merlin was scared when Charles got angry. Charles was really cruel when he was angry.
"He won't hurt you anymore...I will kill him!" Arthur said demitted and cold.
Arthur got out of the bed and took his sword.
Merlin sat in shock in the bed, is he seriously?
Merlin jumped out the bed and grabbed Arthur arm before he was by the door.
"You can't!" Merlin said.
Arthur looked at him with an unreadable expression.
"Oh yes I can" Arthur said cold and then tried to take his arm back but, Merlin refused to let go.
Merlin knew Arthur wasn't angry at him. He was angry at Charles and Merlin had to stop him before he would do anything stupid.
"No you can't! I will be fine!...just forget about it okay?" Merlin said with a half smile.
Arthur forced his arm back and then turned around to look at Merlin.
"Forget about it?" Arthur cried "that man is hurting you! and you want me to forget about it? Merlin I love you, so I can't just stand by knowing what he does to you! he doesn't deserve to live!...I swear to God every time I think about him or see him I want to run him though by his own sword!".
Merlin blinked a couple of times, he had never heard Arthur yell like that. He made a mentally note not to get on Arthur's bad side.
"Arthur..." he sighed.
Merlin bit his lip.
"I...I will stay okay?...stay with me" Merlin said with a half smile.
Arthur however shook his head.
"No...that will only make it worse" Arthur said defeating.
Merlin bit his lip.
"A you sure? I can stay if you want to..." Merlin asked again.
Arthur gave him a sad smile.
"Year...I can't live with myself if you get more hurt because of me...".
Merlin took his hands around his neck.
"I love you..." Merlin said.
Arthur smiled, took his arms around Merlin dragging him closer.
"I love you too...".
Merlin's smile grew and then kissed Arthur, who kissed back.
After sometime they broke apart.
Merlin gave Arthur a quick kiss on his nose.
"I have to go now...see you" Merlin said.
Arthur licked his lips.
"See you..." he replied.
Merlin gave him a quick kiss on his lips and then walked out the chamber.
Arthur saw Merlin walk out his chamber, he made a promise to himself.
He will make Charles pay for hurting Merlin.
Merlin walked inside his chamber but, Charles wasn't there.
Merlin frowned, though it wasn't like he was complaining or something. Merlin walked out his chamber decided to go to the kitchen to get some food, he was a little hungry and Marie was really nice so he was certain she would make something to him.
He walked past the king's chamber but, stopped when he heard a sound. He frowned and walked over to the door. He looked around, when he couldn't see anyone he took the ear against the door.
He could hear a woman.
"Oh! milord!" she screamed.
He jumped and then grimaced, Hanne...
Then he lost his appetite, well, at least I'm free from Charles tonight...
Merlin decided to go back to his chamber, it was too late to go back to Arthur he was properly asleep by now.
Merlin walked inside his chamber got some nightclothes on and then laid down in the bed.
He sighed and smiled to himself, it was so nice to just relax.
He closed his eyes and felt in a deep sleep.
Hanne was lying on the bed, her body half over the king with her head resting on his chest. She could hear Charles breathing and didn't 't have to look to see that he was sleeping.
She couldn't sleep, she had no idea why she just couldn't.
She should be happy, the king had been with her all night, that would give a lot of money but, for some reason she wasn't happy.
Earlier that day she had seen a girl there looked so much like her when she was a child. The girl was playing with some other kids and then she fell and began to cry, she ran over to a woman who Hanne thought was her mother. The woman hugged her child and kissed her forehead told her comfort words and the girl began to laugh instead of crying.
Hanne couldn't stop smiling at the sight, a mother holding her child telling her that she loved her and she couldn't be more lucky.
Hanne had never had a childhood like that.
Her mother didn't care about her. She drank and sometimes hit her. Hanne could remember a time when she had found a beautiful blue butterfly, she wanted to show to her mother, who was sitting outside drinking, didn't care about the people who saw her.
Hanne ran to her showed her the butterfly but, instead of smiling at her happy daughter she hit Hanne instead, because she disturbed her mother's thinking. Since that day Hanne never showed her mother things she had made or animals she had found.
Hanne's father wasn't better. He also drank and was more in the tavern than home. He didn't love her mother, well, he didn't show it if he did, he always was with other woman.
Hanne remembered that he used to come into her room at night, while she was lying in her bed. Telling her how beautiful she was and that he loved her more than anything. He stroked her hair and kissed her neck.
Then he raped her.
It happened almost every night, sometime she was luck that he was with another woman but, the older she became, the more he was with her. Hanne thought that it also was the reason her mother hated her. Her father wanted her more than her mother. Hanne knew that her mother knew, because one night when her father was on top of her she saw her mother by the door, tears running down her face. Hanne knew it wasn't tears because the man was raping her daughter. It was tears because her husband wanted her daughter more than her.
Hanne felt tears running down when she thought about her childhood, she quickly took them away. She sat up in the bed looking at the king.
How did I become like this? she wondered.
When she was 10 years, she wanted to be a maid in the castle serving the king and Queen but, instead she spent the nights with the king to earn money.
She should be happy. She was living in the castle it was every girls dream. The whores in the lower town were jealous because she was spending the nights with the great king.
Hanne felt more tears and this time she didn't take them away, she let them fall hitting the bed sheets.
Her mother threw her out when she was 16 years, with no money and no food. Her father of cores didn't want her out because then who should he spend the night with? he had become old and no whore wanted a old man, only if there was no young good looking men but, there was always young men in the town.
Though Hanne got kick out, with her small and thin dress and her shoes with holes in it. She traveled to the great kingdom Edinburg. She tried to make money by signing on the street but, she didn't earn enough. She tried to find jobs in the tavern but, no luck there. She asked on market in the different shops if somebody needed help but, no one wanted her.
She then looked at some woman in the corner of the street or just outside the tavern and she was certain that some of the women had been in the tavern sitting on the men's lap.
She knew they were whores but, she had made a promise to herself not to go that way. Selling herself was the most disgusting way to earn money but, winter came.
Hanne had no place to live. She only had a small corner in a dark alley where there were a few blankets.
She stole food or was on her knees on the street begging the richer people for some money or food. When she was 17½ years she couldn't do it anymore, she needed money and fast, she was thin and her clothes were shattered and she had to sell her shoes to get some money. She decided to sell herself once. She was a virgin and knew she would make good.
She went by the lake to wash herself, it was cold because summer wasn't yet arrived. She washed herself quickly and then did as most on her clothes as possible so she was looking okay.
She went to stand by the tavern door waiting for some man come out and walk to her as she had seen other whores do.
It didn't take long before a drunken good looking man came out the tavern and walked over her, he showed her some money. It was so much that she thought she would faint when she saw them, she needed them. Though Hanne was greedy so she told him that she was new and a virgin, luckily the man was so drunk he believed her and showed her almost the double of the money. She went with the man to a hotel and he got what he wanted and she got what she wanted.
When the man had walked out when morning came, she felt disgusting but, also happy she had money in her hand she could by a new dress and some shoes.
From the night it became a habit to stand by the tavern waiting for the men to come and take her.
She earned good but, again Hanne was a greedy woman and she wanted more.
When she became 18½ years she took the chance. She had heard that the knights gave more money than the losers she had been with.
One night she went to a knight who stood guard she told him how she wanted to be taken by him and she would be his if he gave her some money. The knight was with her that night and got a lot more money. The other whores was jealous because she could get the knights in the bed, the reason was because she was beautiful. Since she had earned money she used them to make her look good so more men would have her. She was the most beautiful whore in the lower town.
It then became a habit that she spent the night with the knights every night. The rumor most had spread because when she was a little over 19, the king sent for her.
She walked into the king's chamber in her finest dress, she had the jewel on she had. The king took her that night and she got so much money she had ever seeing in her whole life.
When she was 20 years she moved in the castle, so she was close to the kign and as there when he wanted her.
Hanne was now 21.
Hanne took her knees to her chest looking at the sleeping king.
I should be happy...I have anything a woman wants...
But, again Hanne wanted more, she wanted a family. She wanted a husband and a child, she would give the child so much love. The love her mother never gave her.
Hanne knew it would never happen, she was living in the castle and she would never get out. She was the kings whore and nothing more. She knew if she tried to move out, the king would hurt her and force her to stay.
Somehow Hanne came to think about Merlin, her and Merlin's life wasn't that different he also was trapped in the castle and somehow she felt sorry for him.
She had been so cruel, only thinking about herself and money. Merlin had been raped by the king since his mother died, just like she got raped by her father.
I'm a bad person...
She should support Merlin, telling him she knew how he felt, she was older than him and should protect him but, she had completely forgotten how her life once had been.
She hasn't seen her mother since she got kicked out, she wanted to go to her and tell her how her life was now but, what was there to tell? she had no husband or no child. She had no life. She couldn't go to her mother tell her how great her life was, when her life was nothing and worthless.
She felt more tears running down. She took her clothes on decided she needed to get away from the castle a little bit and get her money later. She walked out the chamber but, got no further than the door, she leant against it and then cried harder.
"A you alright *Hanne?" a man's asked.
Hanne looked up to see Prince Edmund standing in front of her looking worried.
She nodded.
"I'm fine..." she said.
Edmund frowned.
"You don't look like you are fine..." Edmund said.
He took a tissue and gave it to her, she took it and then dried her eyes with it.
"Thank you..." she said with a half smile.
Edmund smiled back.
"Your welcome..you don't have to tell me what is wrong but, just so you know if you want to talk I'm here..." he said.
She looked at him in shock, did he just said that?
"Th-Thank you..." she stuttered.
He smiled and gave her a slight nod.
"I must go..see you Hanne..." he said and walked way.
Hanne watched him walked away and then looked down at the tissue and smiled a little to herself.
She began to walk out the castle to get some air.
Somehow she knew she would speak to Edmund again and she would enjoy any second if it.
So what do you think?
Arthur and Merlin kissed...:I
