A/N another short one sorry, don't think this episode will be any where near as long as the last.
Thanks for reading :)
Hope you enjoy it
Gaius awoke to odd noises coming from Merlins room, he couldn't quite place what it was is, so slowly and quietly he climbed from his bed, it was still pitch black so he had to light the spare candle he had by his bedside. He climbed the stairs to Merlins room, pushing the door open slowly he looked in, just in time to see a figure tumble through the window.
'MERLIN!' He cried shocked but happy. Suddenly an invisible force slammed him into the wall, his feet dangling above the ground. 'Merlin?'
'Oh no, sorry Gaius.' He said looking at him guiltily, the force let him go, his feet dropped back to the floor.
'What was that for?'
'I am so sorry, I didn't mean to, you just made me jump and my magic is out of control it just did it on its own.'
Gaius frowned; concerned for his ward he took a step toward him and pulled him into a rough hug, 'It's good to have you back. Now.' He said standing back, but leaving his hands upon Merlins bony shoulders for support. 'I assume you have been travelling all day, so I think you should get some rest. We'll sort this out in the morning.'
Merlin nodded, his eyes drooping suddenly as if he remembered how tired he was and he dropped onto the bed. Gaius smiled at the form of his ward who's long and lanky limbs were spilling from the bed, and he quietly went to leave. 'Oh Merlin, one thing, how on earth did you get through that window?' Merlin face was buried in his pillow so Gaius was unsure of what he really said next but he could have sworn it sounded like. 'I flew.'
When he awoke again he hurried straight to his wards room, hoping it hadn't all been a dream, to his relief and utter amusement he saw the form of his ward loudly snoring in a deep sleep is limbs dangling from the edge of the bed, he briefly remembered when he first arrived, how he used to fit in the tiny cot, now it looked like child play furniture under the filled out form of his ward.
'Merrlin.' He called softly hoping to wake him. No such luck he didn't move an in inch. 'Merrlin.' He called slightly louder, again he didn't move. 'MERLIN.' He finally snapped, he bolted upright in bed and Gaius found himself flown upwards his back connected with something solid and he looked down to realise he was on the ceiling.
'Again Merlin?'
Merlin jumped and looked up at him, 'Gaius? Oh Gaius, god I'm sorry.' He said lowering him down 'I didn't even realise.' He buried his head in his hands 'I need to get control of this.'
'Control of what? What's going on Merlin?'
Merlin sighed and told him everything Kilgharrah had told him. Gaius found it hard to contain his shock, Merlin had been one of the most powerful people he had known or even heard of before this, how could it be possible that he was even more so, what made it worse was that he had no idea how to help him.
'Well.' He said after a while 'You are just going to practice here then, learn how to control it again like you did before, and your right I don't think you should see Arthur until you have got this under control.'
Merlin nodded in agreement, 'I'll start now.' He said leaning under his bed to get his magic book.
'After you've eaten breakfast.' Gaius said firmly.
