| chapter 7 |
"Ah, Cedric," Sara said looking him up and down. Cara was standing at her left shoulder, looking down at her and back up at Cedric.
"You're back early, why?" Sara asked her voice like sandpaper.
"Arthur has lifted the magic law" Sara looked over at Cara.
"Should we take action?" Cara asked looking down at her studying her face. Sara didn't respond. "My lady?" Sara smirked and looked back at Cara.
Back in Camelot Merlin and Arthur were doing a horrible job of keeping them a secret. From making out in the armory and a night when Merlin forgot to put a spell on Arthur's room, Morgana came to see what was going on.
"Why is she here?" Arthur asked Merlin in a whisper. Merlin was under Arthur, both their shirts were off.
"Arthur?" Morgana called out again. "Just a minute!" Arthur called pulling on his shirt. "What am I supposed to say?!" Merlin asked looking around for his shirt.
"Hide Merlin," Arthur said waving his hand. Merlin ran behind the screen, Arthur opened the door.
"Is everything ok? I was walking around the castle and heard weird noises" Morgana said peering past Arthur into his room.
"Yeah everything is fine, I was just, uhh… Looking for a rat" Morgana looked him up and down.
"A rat?"
"Yeah, because Merlin is too lazy to do it himself," Arthur said. But probably what got them found out was when they kissed outside Morgana's chambers. Merlin was down in the armory when he remembered to be a little more careful this time.
He walked up to Arthur's sword and made sure he didn't trip over the random robe in the armory. "Why is that even here?" Merlin asked himself. He shrugged it off. He walked out of the armory and started making his way to Arthur's room, As he was about to turn a corner he heard a loud crash come from the armory.
Merlin turned and ran back to the armory. His heart was pounding as he burst in the door. The room was so still too still.
silence.
dust was flying all over the room. Making a halo-like effect in the room. Merlin walked in the and saw that all the swords were knocked over. He examined the sight. There is no way it could have just fallen over. Merlin thought to himself.
He walked deeper in, walking up to the fallen swords. He got down on his knees and lifted it up, and that's when he saw it.
The writing on the wall.
"You will not win, no matter how hard you try"
Merlin's blood was like ice in his veins, cutting at his heart and lungs. He now knew that him falling was no accident. The words were written with a rock on the floor. The rock had the thin white powder on it that was now written on the wall.
He looked at the writing as if it was holding a knife to his throat. Arthur flashed in his mind.
"Oh god. No, no no!" Merlin yelled he bolted out of the armory. He grabbed the wall and slid. He ran as fast as his legs would let him to Arthur's room. He burst through the door. Out of breath and almost as white as a ghost.
Morgana and Arthur looked at him. Their faces shocked. Merlin let out a huge sigh of relief when he saw that Arthur was fine. Arthur ran over to Merlin.
"Hey, what's wrong. Are you ok?" Arthur asked frantically.
Merlin didn't respond he just hugged Arthur tightly, wrapping his hands around Arthur's waist and resting his head on his shoulder. He didn't care that Morgana was in the room. The shock of the moment was too much and he just needed to hold Arthur in his arms.
Arthur pulled back and healed Merlin's head, running his hand across Merlin's pale skin. "Hey, it's ok, I'm ok, What happened?" Merlin just stared at Arthur. What was he supposed to say?
He didn't tell Arthur about Cedric because he couldn't risk changing the future. "Someone was in t-the armor… They wrote on the wall and I thought y-you" Merlin was frantic, his words incoherent. Arthur pulled his chin up and looked him in the eyes. "Calm down" Merlin shut his eyes and shook his head leaning into Arthur's hand.
Morgana just watched. She smiled. Merlin looked over at her his eyes flickering from her to Arthur.
"It's ok, I already know," Morgana said smiling at both of them. Merlin smiled back at her. "Ok, Merlin what did you see?" Arthur asked.
Merlin leads Arthur and Morgana to the armory. Merlin walked in with Arthur close behind. Merlin walked over to the swords but they were upright. He looked up at the wall.
"It-It's gone!"
