Backfire

Epilogue

Hey guys, thanks so much for reading this story, the last of the sequels, I guess. I didn't get as much reviews as in Daily Interference so I guess it just didn't push me as well as the other story did. However, I write the ending now, even though it is late, but please excuse me, I have had a week full of exams. But tomorrow I start my crossover with Merlin and 'A Nightmare on Elm Street'. Tell every Merlin fan you know, because it's going to be the first EVER crossover of Merlin and A Nightmare on Elm Street! Anyways, to the fic!

Gaius watched as the two boys walked together across the courtyard. It was two months after the incident. Merlin's arm was healing, but healing slowly. What panicked him the most about it was the fact that Merlin could feel nothing with it. Gaius had a feeling that Merlin would lose the use of his arm, of course, that was the worst case scenario. He smiled as he watched Arthur and Merlin talk, but Merlin was still skittish. Merlin talked to no one but Arthur now, and stayed clear of Gwaine. If Gwaine came up to Merlin, Merlin moved as far away as he could get.

LEON

I felt sorry for the training dummy. This was now the fifth training dummy replaced after Gwaine's anger and hurt hit him. Ever since Merlin was back, and edgy around Gwaine and Arthur, Gwaine had been really upset.

By the end of the day, the training dummy was in pieces, but it was not an amusing site. Gwaine didn't cry in front of no one. He was a knight, he wasn't allowed to cry. But who said that was true when his friend, his best friend was hurt? But still, Gwaine didn't cry.

Sighing, Leon knocked on the physician's door and walked in. Gaius was sitting at his bench, reading his books.

"Gaius, can I see Merlin?" Leon asked in a whisper.

"Sure, he's in his room." Gaius said, indicating to the door. The knight nodded and walked up the steps and knocked on the door.

"Merlin? It's Leon, can I come in?" There was shuffling behind the door and the door opened. Merlin looked out.

"Hi." He said.

"Can I come in? I need to talk to you." Merlin nodded and allowed the knight into the room.

"What do you need to talk to me about?" Merlin asked in a whisper.

"Gwaine." Merlin's eyes flew wide at the name.

"Wait-you need to know. Gwaine hasn't done anything to you. Gwaine is just like Arthur. Gwaine hasn't done anything. All you have seen, all you have heard. It's been a hallucination. Gwaine is crying his eyes out over this. I just need you to think Merlin. Think hard at all what we have done, as friends, with Gwaine, with Arthur. I know it's hard but you need to remember. Please, just think about it." Leon said, standing up. He smiled sadly before leaving Merlin to his thoughts.

GWAINE

Gwaine sighed as he sat in his chair that night. There was no mead, no wine. Just water. He didn't want a drink, not until his friend was better. Not until his friend knew who he was. Gwaine almost through his goblet into the fire with frustration, he was almost tempted to go and kill Stephen for this. The idea was very tempting and after several moments of thinking, his mind was made up. He was going to kill him. He grabbed his sword and was making his way to the door when a knock sounded.

"Enter." Gwaine said. The door opened and Merlin stood there, frozen. His eyes were fixed upon the sword and he was breathing heavy. Gwaine noticed what was happening and threw his sword to the side, making Merlin flinch. Gwaine opened his arms carefully, showing he had no other weapon on him.

"Merlin. It's okay. Gwaine, friend. Gwaine, best friend." Gwaine said slowly. Merlin nodded and stepped forward, hugging Gwaine.

"I'm sorry." Merlin whispered.

"It's alright, I know." Gwaine soothed.

The dragon smiled, another twist in destiny was complete.

There you go, cheesy ending I know, but I can't wait to start my next story! I really can't! The next story might be up tonight. So watch out!
