Hey I'm so sorry it's been so long.

heres the next part!

Arthur sat in his Aston martin, cheek red and stinging with pain. His eyes flicked to Morgana who sat arms crossed glaring daggers at the road.

"It was joke" Arthur tried again

"It was stupid, he's probably terrified" Morgana spat

"He's been arrested for the use of magic, how is that terrifying?" Arthur said with a small laugh.

"He's being arrested by the prince, you could get him arrested for being a leprechaun, say the word and no one would bat an eyelid. Of course he'll be scared. I can't wait till Uther hears about this" Arthur's face pales at the thought of his father finding out about the prank. "He'll skin you alive" Morgana mused.

Merlin sat in the back of the van, hands still enclosed tightly in handcuffs. Two men were staring at him, sitting in the back with him. Another two sat in the front, one driving, Merlin's mind raced through his time since meeting Arthur, trying to figure out when he found out about his magic. How he found out. His tongue darted out wetting his lips. He needed to escape, they wouldn't put him in a jail cell, not knowing he could break out, would he be locked away on his own. Armed guards there all the time. How would they tell his mother, would they take her in to, for harbouring him. Would they do anything, last time he checked he'd never seen a law against having magic. As his heart begun to beat faster he tried to figure out what to do. He couldn't breath, attempting to gasp in breaths only for them to gush back out, his eyes found the floor of the van, tears brimmed in his eyes as his breathing got more erratic. Suddenly he felt it, his magic washing over him pulsing through his veins before it thrummed out, unseen to the eyes of the guards but felt as the tires went flat simultaneously. The van violently swerving.

"I swear if he needs therapy because of this I will kill you Arthur Pendragon. Not to mention you will get him the best, most expensive therapist in the world." Morgana continued her ranting. Arthur throwing his eyes from the road for a second to look at her, her face filled with a mix of anger and worry. Teeth gnawing on her lip.

"Relax Morgana! We'll catch up with them in a minute, I'll explain to Merlin I was screwing around. He'll call me a dollop head and you'll look like a moron for worrying so much about his delicate little feelings" Arthur tried.

"I don't see how you can think this was a funny joke" She growled.

"I don't see how you guys thought me jumping into a pool of slime was funny" Arthur retorted.

"Because Arthur we have a sense of humour unlike someone" Arthur rolled his eyes, turning the wheel rounding the next bend in the road. "Arthur" Morgana breathed.

"What?" Arthur groaned, eyes flicking to Morgana who's eyes where just past the next small bend where he couldn't see from the driver side. A few seconds and Arthur saw it, the turned over van curled around a tree of the side of the road. He slammed his foot on the breaks as Morgana jumped from the car before it had fully stopped, stumbling to a safe landing before high heels clinked along the road as she sprinted to the van. Arthur came barrelling after her, phone to his ear. Screaming down it for an ambulance. He got to the back, phone falling back into his pocket as he looked to Morgana

"Where is he? Arthur where the hell is he I swear if this is some prank. If this is a set up I" Arthur was spinning around as she babbled at him. His eyes flicking down the road and into the tree's before falling on a body slumped on the floor.

"Merlin!" The two yelled in unison running to the boys body.

Merlin felt his body lurch, eyes widening as the van smashed. Merlin felt his wrists rip in pain as he got thrown from his seat, handcuffed hands still attached to the chains from the floor. His head smashed against the cold interior. The guards flying off their seats completely.

It took a few seconds for Merlin to figure out what happened. The guards in there front where unconscious if not dead. One in the back sharing their fate, the last standing up shakily and taking a step towards merlin. As he tried to drag himself away, wrists screaming at him his magic flared again. The roof, or was it the side of the van, above the guard concave'd swinging and smashing into the man's head knocking him unconscious.

Merlin flinched as blood dripped into his eyes. 'get out now' Merlin's mind screamed, with a deep breath merlin turned to his hand cuffed wrists. Eyes burning orange before the shackles contorted and broke off, freeing himself. Merlin stood up, reaching forwards pressing his working hand against the unmoving door. Taking in a shaky breath.

"Aperi" He whispered, the doors flying open. Blood ran into his mouth, down his neck. The surroundings blurring as his mind kept telling him to run. He tried, the blood seeped down to his side before he dropped. He tried to blink the blood out of his eye to no success. His non blood covered eye was no better at seeing through. It was as if he was under the ocean, looking to the surface without googles. Everything was still there but not, like you'd entered an entirely different world and where just looking through a portal. The earth swam in his vision before it was gone.

"I swear I'm going to kill him" Morgana spat, as Merlin blinked his eyes open. He looked around the white room. Morgana Gwaine and Gwen situated around it.

"Whats" Merlin started, before stopping unsure of what to ask first, his voice felt scratchy.

"Merlin!" Gwaine screamed, noticing Merlin's wince at his loud town he lowered his voice before continuing "Mate you gave us a scare!" Gwaine said with a smile, quickly walking towards him.

"What happened" Merlin decided to go with, he wasn't in prison yet, surely that was good.

He hung on every word, ignoring his throbbing brain as they explained about Arthur doing a prank which consisted off Merlin being chained up and well, treated like some crazy threat to the world, for a few hours before Arthur would no doubt swagger in and laugh at him telling him it was a prank. Although Morgana did most of the explanation as Gwen and Gwaine sat glaring, occasionally butting in with a "it was very irresponsible" (Gwen) and "Fucking prick" (Gwaine). "but the tires popped and you crashed."

"everyone's okay" Gwen quickly added in.

"except the van" Gwaine joked.

"Everyone has their injuries but none are fatal. You have a minor concussion." Morgana finished. Merlin held up his wrist, which he hadn't failed to notice was in a cast. "and a broken wrist, obviously" Morgana said apologetically. The group sat in silence for a little while.

"Please say no one called my mum?" Merlin asked nervously.

"Arthur did. He had to explain himself and tell her you would be okay,"

"Got a right earful from what I heard" Gwaine laughed.

"I also made him tell Uther, he's off having a video conference with him now." Morgana said proudly.

"so.. I'm not being arrested" Merlin questioned, head still throbbing making the explanation harder than it should be to understand.

"Of course not mate. Like magic is even real" Gwaine snorted. Merlin faking a laugh with the rest of them.

"Now you have a choice, you can either get released now. Go back to university and have our doctor look after you there, or you can stay cooped up in a hospital room and have our doctor look after you here." Morgana said happily.

Arthur ran through the hospital. Darting into the private room a nurse had walked into a second before. Only to be met by an empty bed.

"Where's Merlin" He snapped making the nurse jump, spinning round to face him.

"Who" He asked.

"Merlin, the patient that's meant to be in this room" Arthur growled, advancing on the poor man.

"I don't know" The nurse said awkwardly.

"What do you mean you don't know"

"I was told to prepare the room for the next patient. I'm sorry sir" The man said quickly.

"The next patient. There is already meant to be a patient in here." Arthur yelled.

"I don't know about that. I just started my shift."

"Well go find out then! His name is Merlin emrys. He was in a car crash."

"Yes sir" The man said quickly fleeing from the room, leaving Arthur standing clutching a get well soon balloon in one hand and a teddy in the other donned in a tee shirt that said 'I'm sorry, I forgot you were an idiot'. Which Arthur was swiftly regretting making a few calls to get made during the four hour lecture from Uther.

"Um.. Sir." Arthur spun quickly at the voice, the nurse stood in the doorway. "Mr emrys was released a few hours ago." Arthur did a small nod. The nurse standing awkwardly in the doorway before clearing his throat. "I have to prepare the room now. If you don't mind...your highness"

"What, oh..of course. Yeah" Arthur slowly drifted from the room. Before he took off running again.

He stood outside his dorm room. Staring at the wood wondering if he should knock it's your own fucking room you dollop head Arthur immediately cursed himself for his use of dollop head before taking a deep breath and pushing the door open. Stalking over to the bed and shoving the bear and balloon into an unsuspecting face. His own eyes screwed shut.

"Here. I guess I'm glad your not dead." He ground out.

"Um.. Thank you your highness" A voice, different from what he was expecting piped up. Arthur's eyes flying open and looking into the eyes of someone vaguely familiar, who's grubby greasy hands where already closing round Arthur's gifts.

"What! No. Get off! These aren't for you" Arthur snapped yanking them out of his reach. "Who the hell are you and what are you doing in my dorm!" Arthur bellowed.

"I'm Keith, your new room-mate" Keith said happily. "I can't tell you how honoured I am to have you as a room mate. Not to mention to get away from that oaf gwa"

"My room mate. You're not my room mate. Where's Merlin!" Arthur gasped. Mind quickly reeling to thoughts of Merlin sitting on a train travelling back to his home. "wait. Where you saying Gwaine" Arthur questioned. The spotty kid nodding, pushing his glassed further up his sweaty beak of a nose. "Don't get comfortable Kevin!" Arthur shouted as he marched from the room. Not noting the quiet 'its Keith' being said in his wake. Three doors down his hand thumped against the door. A minute later it slowly pulled open, Gwaine peering through the gap.

"what the hell do you want."

"You seem to have misplaced your room mate." Arthur snapped.

"No. Don't think I have. Merlin's quite happily asleep in his bed" He turned his head, locks of hair spinning, looking to the sleeping Merlin before turning back to Arthur. "yep he looks very cosy."

"I mean kyle! Merlin is my room mate." The door suddenly opened fully Morgana appearing only to push her way through the gap stepping into the corridor causing Arthur to step back, before she closed the door behind her.

"What do you want." She asked angrily.

"My room mate back. Why is there some creep in my room."

"Keith is your new room mate. He and Merlin have switched."

"How. You'd have to go to th"

"Everything has been done properly. Being the daughter of the king means I got it done fast enough for you to still be gone. I believe everyone is happy with this new arrangement."

"I don't. I was fine with it the way it was. So was Merlin!" Arthur argued.

"Really... Then why did he agree to switch rooms. Happily, may I add." Morgana taunted, a smirk on her face.

"that's ridiculous. Merlin loves rooming with me. Let me talk to him"

"he's asleep"

"then wake him. Should he even be asleep in his condition"

"I am not waking him up!" Morgana snapped. Now, it has been a long day so go back to your room. I need to call Will again to assure him Merlin's okay"

"No. I'm not leaving with out my room mate. You can't do this."

"Oh yes I can. You almost got him killed today Arthur. You never wanted him as your room mate anyway and now you're free of him."

"bu"

"No. You should be happy that this is all that's happening. Uther has managed to stop any stories of this going to the press. Merlin doesn't want to sue, although I really think he should and you finally have a room mate who will stay out of your business or live to serve your every command. So just go to bed." Morgana ranted. Arthur opening and closing his mouth a few times before slowly nodding.

"is he okay" Arthur ground out. Hand rubbing over his face before looking back to his half sister. He watched as her eyes softened, slowly moved to the balloon and teddy. Pale hands grabbing them both quickly.

"He'll be fine" she cracked the door back open sliding back inside. "I'll give these to him when he wakes up." With that she shut the door with a gentle click, leaving Arthur standing, once again staring at the door. He slowly shuffled back to his room. Walking in looking around at the Kierons side of the room. Noting how neat everything was, not a single paper out of place. His eyes moved back to his side, Merlin's hoodie no longer hung across the back of his desk chair as if it belonged there, something that had started many arguments as Arthur threw it across the room telling him to keep his shit together. None of Merlin's stupid themed pencil's sat scattered across the desk from when the two would sit silently working on assignments side by side.

"Can I do anything sire? Get you a bottle of water? Help you with an assignment ?"

"Could you just leave me alone Klive? I need some sleep" Arthur snapped. Dragging his eyes off his desk and making his way to his bed.

"It's Keith and of course sire. If you ever need anything you can just ask me" The boy said happily. Arthur tried not to scowl at the nice reply so use to the constant argumentative banter going on in the room.
