"I can't believe Uther would sack him over one mistake" Merlin said to Arthur
"A mistake that almost killed Morgana, besides it wasn't the only one" Arthur said back.
"What do you mean?" Merlin asked
"Edwin said his work was full of mistakes"
"That's nonsense"
"No one wants him to go, my farther has made his decision, there's nothing anyone can do"
"Gabby is really upset he's gone"
"Well, it hurts me to say this but she is just going to deal with it"
Edwin had given Uther a paralysing drug, Uther lay on his bed unable to move and was defenceless.
"My lord, it seams the drugs I gave you have taken hold, your body is now paralysed, I want my face to be the last you ever see. You took my childhood from me, and now finally I will get my parents revenge" Edwin placed a magical bug on Uther's pillow and it crawled into his ear, "In a few hours that will eat at your brain, and you will suffer as they suffered, how I long to here you scream, as they screamed as you gave the orders for the firs to be lit, with your death magic will return to Camelot"
"What are you doing?" A voice came from Uther's bed room door, Edwin turned around to see Gabby in the door way
"Nothing my lady, I have just given your uncle something to help him sleep" Edwin said with a bow
"You liar! I herd you say something about your parents revenge! And I saw you put something in his ear!" Gabby said
"You really are smart, but are you smart enough to dodge this?" Edwin said and he raised a staff from the wall and started to beat Gabby repeatedly with it, Gabby blacked out. Edwin dragged her out of the castle and placed her in the forest were no one would find her 'till too late.
As Edwin walked into his room he was met by Gaius
"I will not allow you to kill Uther" Gaius said
"You have never had a problem letting people die before" Edwin replied
"Your parents were practising dark magic, just like you, Vaki ierlt"
"I think you meant Vaki ierlt" they way Edwin said it sounded different and it shot Gaius across the room and he hit a pillar.
"Forbaern ypile" Edwin said and then a ring of fire came around Gaius. Merlin came in and saw this.
"What are you doing?" Merlin asked
"He was trying to kill the king I couldn't let him!" Gaius shouted over the flames
"I can rule the kingdom now, with you at my side, we can be all powerful" Edwin said
"Release him!" Merlin shouted
"Your loss Merlin" Edwin said, throwing an axe at Merlin with his magic. Merlin managed to dodge it and used magic to reverse it and make it fly it back at Edwin, Edwin fell to the ground, as the fires died down. Edwin was dead! Merlin managed to get the bug out of Uther's ear, Uther now wasn't going to die.
Uther had rehired Gaius and had a like knighting ceremony for him, everyone was there… but Gabby. Where was she?
"Where is Gabrielle!" Uther shouted, everyone could tell he was worried since he said her full name, "Send out a search party! I need her back" Everyone nodded and left but Uther, Arthur, Gaius and Merlin, all of them had a look of worry on their faces.
An hour later there was a knock on the Throne room door and Uther, Arthur, Gaius and Merlin all quickly turned their heads to the door, a knight came in
"We found her my lord, but she isn't in good shape, it looks like he had been beaten badly"
"Fetch her in" Uther said with worry all over his face, the Knight nodded to another knight and he bought an unconscious Gabby in. Her wrist looked broken, her lip and check was cut and she had a huge black eye, her ribs might be broke but that would be too hard to tell. Gaius ordered her to be sent to his chambers.
Gaius confirmed Gabby had a broken wrist, three broken ribs and her ankle, a huge cut down her stomach. Once they were all bandaged up he put Men's clothes on her since he wanted to have easy access to the cut on her stomach in case anything happed to the wound
"We can ask her when she wakes up who did this to her, I'm about to give her a potion that will wake her up, but be gentle with her, she will be in a lot of pain" Gauss said to Arthur and Merlin as her pored a potion in Gabby's mouth, she woke up with a start which made her cry out in pain.
"Who did this?" Gaius asked.
"Edwin, I saw him doing something to Uther"
"Don't worry, he's gone now"
"Good, it hurts to breath" Gabby said still lying on the bed Arthur wanting to put a joke in the situation said,
"Well don't breathe them"
"That's going to be a bit hard" Gabby said smiling
"Gabby you must stay here for a few days then you will be moved to your room but you can not be up and around until you are fully healed which will be a while" Gaius said
"Ok, anything you say!" Gabby asked
"Thank you Gaius, Merlin" Gabby said
"For what?" they both asked
"Well you are helping me get better, Edwin has left and I don't know why but I have a feeling you two had something to do with it"
"Get some rest" Gaius said smiling, Gabby nodded and shut her eyes, Merlin lay in his bed hoping Gabby would get better 'look on the bright side, if she's staying here for a while you get to spend more time with her' Merlin smiled, little did he know that Gabby had a similar thought as she drifted to sleep.
AN: poor Gabby that must be a lot of pain! Ouch!
