"Dr. Arthur Pendragon had been working at his current mental hospital for nearly a year when they had brought in a young girl, no older than eighteen. He had been assigned to her and after a while he soon found himself falling into insanity, insane for her love."


Part Ten;


The next few days had been slightly awkward between Merlin and Arthur, their routine and time together was as doctor and patient and very few words were passed between them. When Arthur was not with Merlin, Morgana was or Merlin sulked in her room on her own, either sleeping, reading a book, drawing, sketching, watching TV or listening to music.

When Saturday came around Merlin was more than excited to get some time away from the house she'd been stuck in for days and to finally meet this gold digger of a girlfriend that belonged to Arthur.

"Merlin, you better get ready." Morgana whispered through the door. "Arthur's leaving now, we'll give it fifteen minutes and then follow, make sure to cover your face, police are still looking for you and we're going to a public place."

Merlin was already dressed but needed something to cover her face, she went to the wardrobe and started digging around until she found a baggy jumped with a hood. It was so baggy that it covered most of her face, which was good enough.

"Merlin, are you ready?" Morgana whispered and Merlin ran over to the door, opening it.

"Yep, how do I look?" Merlin asked.

"Great, I can hardly tell you're a girl, let alone yourself." Merlin wasn't sure how to respond so she closed the door to her current bedroom and followed Morgana up the stairs and to the second floor.

"I take it we're driving there?" Merlin asked.

"Yup." Morgana said walking over to her car and getting in and Merlin quickly followed.

"I'm not quite sure where Arthur's meeting his girlfriend so we might have to search around for a bit."

"Great and it's not like the shopping centre is massive or anything." Merlin said sarcastically but Morgana ignored her tone of voice.

"They're having lunch together, which means they're going to be at a restaurant or some place like that and there are not as many of them as there are shops, so it shouldn't take very long." Morgana said, driving out of the driveway and onto the road.


It had only taken them ten minutes when they saw Arthur and his blonde haired girlfriend having lunch at some fancy restaurant that look very expensive to eat in.

"Is that her?" Merlin asked as her and Morgana sat down on a bench with a good view of where Arthur and his girlfriend were sat eating their lunch.

"Yes, that's her."

"...She's pretty." Merlin said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"She's not that pretty!" Morgana said. "90% of her beauty can be removed with a wet wipe." Morgana said making Merlin laugh.

"So, how long are they going to be there?" Merlin asked.

"They're just having lunch and then Arthur's going home to finish some paperwork, I don't know what she'd going to do after."

"Should me tail her after?" Merlin suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Morgana nodded.

Their lunch lasted another hour before the two left the restaurant giving each other a kiss before they went their separate ways and once Arthur was out of sight Merlin and Morgana followed the girl who went into a clothes shop.

Perfectly normal they would have thought if they didn't see her go up to the person behind the counter and kiss him.

"That slut!" Morgana said.

"She really is..." Merlin trailed off.


The rest of the day they had followed the girl and she'd seen three other men, asides from Arthur and man at the clothes shop, she had at least five boyfriends, and Merlin and Morgana were just guessing that's who they were, they might have been fiancées or husbands.


They returned home around five and almost walked straight into Uther, but they just managed to avoid him and get down to the bedroom Merlin was staying in.

"We have to tell him." Merlin said.

"He'll never believe us."

"We still should, he has a right to know."

"When he comes home, we'll confront him." Morgana said and Merlin nodded in agreement.

"Morgana, Merlin, what are you doing in my room?" Arthur asked as he stepped into his room.

"Waiting for you to come home, we need to talk to you about something." Morgana said for the both of him.

"Okay, what?" Arthur asked them.

"We saw your girlfriend with another, well, several other men." Merlin admitted nervously, as she didn't know how Arthur was going to react.

"What?" he said, glaring at the two dark haired women.

"We kinda...followed you to the shopping centre." Merlin admitted.

"You what?"

"We went, because we needed to see if what we thought was true and it is."

"Get out, now." Arthur said pointing to the door behind him.

"Arthur, you have to listen to us, we're trying to avoid you getting hurt!" Morgana explained.

"God help me Morgana, leave, or I'll do something you will not like."

"Arthur-"

"Father!" Arthur shouted at the top of his lungs and Merlin and Morgana's eyes widened.

"No Arthur, please." Merlin begged but it was too later, the door to Arthur's room opened and an annoyed Uther stepped through.

"Arthur, what's with all the shouting?" he asked and then his eyes settled on Merlin. "Ms Emrys, what are you doing here?"

"Um..." she stuttered looking between the three Pendragon's for some kind of explanation.

"Morgana broke Merlin out of the hospital several days ago and has been keeping her here."

"What, Morgana, is this true?"

"Dad, please, I had to-"

"Morgana, enough. Merlin will be taken back to the hospital immediately, I'll phone some people to come and collect her and as for you Morgana, I'm sorry but just because you're my daughter does not mean you get any special treatment, you're fired." That shocked everyone.

"W-What?" Morgana stuttered.

"You're fired, I will give you next week to clean out your office." Uther said before taking his mobile out of his pocket. "Hello, yes, I've found Merlin Emrys, yes that will be fine, thank you." he turned back to the three. "They will be fifteen minutes, Miss Emrys if you would like to follow me."

Merlin nodded and followed the man out of the room only looking back once at Morgana and Arthur who were stood stunned and as soon as she and Uther had gone Morgana turned on Arthur.

"What the hell did you do that for?" she practically growled.

"Why are you stalking me and my girlfriend and making up lies about her?" Arthur growled back.

"I'm not." she said. "And you're just an idiot for not seeing that and now you've put Merlin back in hell." Morgana said before storming out of the room and leaving Arthur alone.
