Chapter 10

Ellie turned to Merlin. "If he get's hurt…" she said pointing at him threateningly. Merlin nodded.

"Don't worry. I'll take good care of him." he said with his dorky smile on his face. Ellie nodded and went to find Katie. Izzy rolled her eyes at her.

"I don't get why she doesn't just tell him." She muttered. "It's totally obvious they like each other." She added and Merlin nodded in agreement.

Night time rolled around and Merlin left Arthurs chambers after finishing up his duties. Arthur was asleep on his bed snoring lightly. Myror crept along the hallway hiding in the shadows when soldiers were near by. He crept up to the door and opened it quietly.

Meanwhile, Izzy knocked on Merlin's door softly.

"Merlin." She whispered. Merlin opened the door and looked at her tiredly. "What are you doing?" she asked raising an eyebrow. Merlin yawned.

"Yeah sorry. I was just resting my eyes." He said smiling. Izzy rolled her eyes at him before noticing a shadow moving. She pushed Merlin in and shut the door leaving just a gap, so they could peer through. They saw a man enter Arthurs chambers and Izzy crept out with Merlin behind her.

They looked around the door to Arthur's' chambers and gasped when they saw Myror lifting a dagger, getting ready to stab Arthur in the heart. Merlin quickly raised his hand and whispered a spell, sending Myror crashing into the wall. Izzy looked at Merlin shocked.

"You're a sorcerer." She whispered. Merlin gulped and panicked slightly.

"I don't know what your talking about." He said not looking her in the eye. Izzy smiled softly and grabbed his hand.

"Your secrets safe with me." She whispered softly and Merlin gave her his dorky smile.

Izzy smiled back at him and then left to go and get some guards.

Myror groaned and got up off of the floor. Arthur, who had woken up when he heard the crash, had his sword pointed at him.

"Who are you?" he demanded, glaring down at him. Myror stood up quickly and backed away.

"My name is not of importance." He said slowly leaning against the wall, Arthur's sword pointing at his throat. "All that matters is that you die tonight." He hissed and grabbed Arthur's sword, yanking it out of his hands. Arthur stared at him shocked. Merlin looked around and saw Myror standing on a rug. He whispered another spell and the rug slipped from underneath him. Myror fell to the ground and Arthur used this opportunity to take his sword back. He climbed on top of Myror and held him by the collar of the neck.

"Who are you?" Arthur asked again. Myror looked up at him.

"My name is Myror." He whispered. "And Oden sent me to kill you." He said and glared at him.

Izzy and the guards ran along the corridor towards Arthur's room. The guards burst into his chambers and one of them shot Myror with a cross bow. Myror's breathing stopped and Arthur got off of him slowly.

"Sire. Are you alright?" One guard said approaching him. Arthur nodded slowly and stepped away.

"Do not tell anyone what has happened here tonight." He commanded. Izzy and Merlin left Arthur alone not wanting him to know that they were there. The guards looked at him confused but didn't question it.

"Yes sire. Shall we dispose of the body?" he asked and Arthur nodded again and sat back down on his bed. Now he had to think about how he was going to face Oden in the morning.

((soz for the badness of the chapter and the lateness. I had major writer's block. Review please. Even if it's to tell me how bad it was.))
