A Day Out
It had been a week since Arthur's nightmare and since then there had been a couple others. Arthur would wake up and slowly make his way down he hall to Uther's chambers where he would let himself in. Uther had been doing everything he could to keep the monsters away and had decided to take Arthur out for a day to try and tire him out.
"Are you sure you don't want any of the knights to go with you sire?" sir Leon asked again as they stood next to the horse.
"I'm sure Sir Leon," Uther said for the third time.
"Well, how about Merlin then," Sir Leon suggested as they watched Merlin walking down the steps with Arthur.
"We will be fine Sir Leon," the king said, exasperated.
"Can we go? Please? Can we?" Arthur asked excitedly.
"Yes, yes, we're going," Uther said as he lifted Arthur onto the horse and climbed no behind him. They rode out of Camelot's walls and rode until they reached a clearing. Uther got down and then helped Arthur off before he tied the horse to a tree. They walked along a path in the forest and Uther showed Arthur all sorts of interesting things. They spent the entire day out and away from the castle and all of Uther's duties. Arthur had an amazing time and they didn't head back until just before it got dark.
"That was so much fun," Arthur said.
"You enjoyed that then?" Uther asked.
"Yeah!" Arthur exclaimed.
"Well good, when we get back to Camelot I need to go see Gaius so you go with Sir Leon to get some dinner alright? I'll come and get you when I'm finished, understand?" Arthur nodded and they rode the rest of the way to Camelot in silence. When they arrived back, Sir Leon was waiting and took Arthur while Uther left to see Gaius.
Wow, that was not how I'd imagined that chapter to be at all.
I hate writers block!
I'm trying some one shots to get back into the flow and my chem. Class is great cause I can write for 75 mins and my teacher doesn't notice, I guess it is good for something
Thanks for reading!
