Chapter 10.
Merlin knocked on the room where Tawni was sleeping. "Tawni? Dinner's ready if you want some." He called. Tawni opened the door, she had tears in her eyes and she didn't look like she had slept even a bit. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"I never knew." She whispered. "You too have suffered due to your gifts. And your and Arthur's home... Camelot. The hardships you too have been through." The tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Hey. It's alright. Really." Merlin put his hands in his pockets unsure of how to comfort her.
"Well. I'm sure the news I have for you will bring the gladness back to your and Arthur's hearts once more." She said, rubbing the tears away.
"Come on. Come and have something to eat." Merlin said, leading Tawni to where he had put the food. "Unless Arthur's eaten it already!" he laughed. Just then they heard loud music coming from the living room where Arthur was sat. Merlin and Tawni ran into the room. Arthur was sat there with his hands over his ears. "MERLIN! HELP! I CAN'T TURN IT OFF!" Arthur said pointing to the iPod that was in the docking station blasting music into the room at full blast. Merlin's eyes flashed gold and the music switched off.
"I told you not to touch anything." Merlin said. Tawni smiled. Merlin was like a big brother telling off a younger brother, Arthur in this case. Merlin went into the kitchen. "Tawni? Can you give me a hand?" he asked. Tawni followed him into the kitchen. Merlin shut the door behind her.
"All the food is in the other room. Why do you need help?" Tawni asked.
"You know the news you were telling me that you had for me and Arthur? If it is anything that you think might get Arthur's hopes up I would suggest for you not to tell him." Merlin said, Tawni nodded. They went back into the other room to eat. As they came back Arthur looked between the two of them suspiciously. "Wow!" Merlin said in mock surprise. "You managed to sit there and not eat all the food! I'm impressed!" he laughed soon followed by Tawni and Arthur.
