chapter 10
Cheeto stared at the friendly chew toy and tilted her head as it spoke to her; she had no idea what it was saying. For some reason she only understood what Merlin told her. She whimpered and walked closer to the yummy looking, blond chew toy.
*No. Go.* The chew toy was talking and pointing. Cheeto looked behind her but saw nothing but the house it was dragged out off. She looked back to the chew toy, who was holding something shiny. She recognized this. Merlin taught her what they were, and when he couldn't find them she would know exactly where they were. They were called, keys.
Cheeto walked closer to the keys and sniffed. She didn't like the smell. They smelled different, like selfish and hatred. She tried to grabbed them, but the blond snatched them away.
*Go* The chew toy was pointing again.
Cheeto barked. Then looked behind her. Then the smell hit her nose. The smell from the keys, she sniffed the air. But... why would the blond chew toy want her to follow that yucky smell? Cheeto looked back at the blond who was nodding.
*Merlin*
Cheeto's ears went up.
XOXOXOXO
Arthur smiled wide when it looked like Cheeto finally got the message. Uther's keys would help find where Merlin was in the house, because no doubt Uther would be with Merlin. What Uther wanted with Merlin, was a mystery to Arthur.
"Merlin." Arthur repeated. "He has Merlin."
Those words made Cheeto snarl. The smell of selfish and hatred had Merlin. She barked then turned and ran towards the door of the house
Arthur smiled wider, then with a forced loud groan, raised himself off the floor. he had to stop and shut his eyes when his head literally spinned, and the wave of nauseous hit.
He exhaled an angry breath. Why the hell would his father drug him like that? Arthur shook his head and walked towards where Cheeto was desperately trying to get inside the house.
After many tries and failing when he fell on the concrete pavement, Arthur made it to the front door of the mansion. He stood with his back to the door catching his breath and trying to take the dizziness out of his head.
He exhaled a deep breath and gulped then reached down to the small flower-pot on the window sill; seeing as how he had no choice but to leave he's keys inside the house, he grabbed the key from under the pot.
He quickly stuck the key in the knob and turned it, then pushed the door open. The site caused heat to grow on his face, his heart dropped to the lower part of his stomach.
Merlin screaming on the floor and Uther with his lips all over the boy's skin.
Arthur quickly grabbed on to Cheeto's fur when the wolf snarled and charged forward. Arthur stared into the dog's eyes. "I'll take care of this one."
The dog's face slowly softened, yet looking straight out confused. She watched as Arthur quickly made his way over while pulling off the jacket he wore to his and Merlin's date. Arthur roughly pulled Uther off the thin body, leaving room for Cheeto to run to her Merlin.
XOXOXOXO
Merlin was holding on to Cheeto's thick fur when he heard the sweet sound. He slowly let go of the dog.
"It's ok, Merlin. You're safe."
He felt only the tip of Arthur's fingers on his arm and he charged into the blond's arms, sobbing loudly and uncontrollably.
Arthur sighed low, and brought his hand to Merlin's head, brushing his fingers through the boy's raven hair, then looked towards the groaning Uther on the floor, Cheeto sitting right over him. And when Uther slowly rose, Cheeto step forward, snarling.
The man's eyes widen and he flinched backwards, his hands in the air. "Good...dog..."
A deafening bark was then taken out by the sound of sirens.
Uther looked towards the window and his brows narrowed. He stared back at Arthur. "You would call the cops on your own flesh and blood?"
Arthur gulped dryly. "Yes. It has nothing to do with who you are, but what you are."
Uther stared as he heard the cops running through the door.
"You are sick." Arthur said without hesitation. "The moment you drugged me, I had a hint of what you wanted when you decided to keep Merlin with you."
Arthur gulped nervously, then nodded with his head to the cops. "That's him."
Uther was forced to his feet then pulled out of the mansion. Two paramedics walked up to Arthur, who held on tighter to Merlin before slowly loosening his grip. "Merlin... they have to check you now."
Merlin shook his head and held on tighter.
Arthur smiled. "What if I go with you?"
Merlin shakily nodded. "Ok." He whispered.
Arthur slowly pulled away, his brows narrowing at the sight of Merlin's bruised and tear-streaked face. "I'll protect you, no matter what it takes." The blond whispered.
