Magic pt. 21
Hello, hope you are having a good day.
Balinor went to Merlin's side and put his hands on Merlin's shoulders. Merlin screamed for several minutes. Balinor pulled Merlin into a hug and tried to calm him down. Merlin was thrashing about and wouldn't stop. Merlin accidently hit his father. Balinor shushed Merlin. Then Merlin screamed as loud as he could and a jug of water shattered. Then Merlin started coughing.
"Sick." Merlin coughed quietly. Balinor realized that in between coughs Merlin was retching. He grabbed a bucket and put it under Merlin's face. Merlin vomited into the bucket. A few minutes later it was over. Merlin shivered violently. Balinor did not know if it was from the cold or nightmare. Merlin was crying and trembling. Then Merlin shot up and panted.
"Merlin." Balinor said. Merlin laid back down and cried. Balinor picked Merlin up and pulled him into a hug. "Breathe with me, Merlin. Calm down." Merlin tried to but was weak and scared. Hunith came in. she saw that Merlin was covered in sweat and got a wet cloth. She went to Merlin and wiped the sweat off Merlin's face.
"DO you want to tell us what it's about?" Hunith asked. Merlin nodded. He told them what it was about. When Merlin finished he cried. He cried on Balinor for several minutes before falling asleep. When he fell asleep Balinor chuckled slightly.
"He's so tired." Balinor chuckled. Then Hunith saw Merlin and smiled.
"He's still looks very sweet when he's asleep." Hunith happily answered.
"Yes, he is."
Balinor put Merlin down. Merlin whimpered slightly but didn't wake up. For the next week Merlin was like this. One night, Freya was watching Merlin when he started to have a nightmare. He started thrashing and groaning.
"Merlin, wake up." Freya whispered as she rubbed Merlin's cheek. She kissed Merlin and then Merlin's nightmare got worse. Freya didn't know what to do. "Balinor!" Balinor came out of Merlin's room and went to Merlin's side. He got a bowl of crushed lavender and put it near an opened window. Merlin began to scream. He was covered in layers of sweat. Balinor tried to get close to Merlin but Merlin was thrashing a lot. He saw that Merlin was having a nosebleed. He saw that Merlin's hands were bleeding as well. He got a bowl of water and some other things. He put his hand on Merlin's forehead. Finally the nightmare hit its climax and Merlin shot up. He panted a lot and began coughing. He coughed and coughed. When he finished he opened his eyes. Balinor hugged him. Then Merlin felt bile coming up his throat.
"I'm going to die." Merlin moaned.
"No, you aren't. Just let it out." Balinor answered softly. Merlin vomited on Balinor's shoulder. He vomited for a few minutes. He grabbed Balinor's arm and squeezed as he vomited. When it was over, Merlin panted and shivered violently. Balinor put Merlin's head on his chest. "Calm down and breathe, Merlin." Merlin did. His breathing got better but it still worried Balinor. Merlin was very weak. He was very sick. Balinor put Merlin on the bed and covered him. Merlin put his hand on Balinor's arm. He squeezed Balinor's arm. Then Merlin had a coughing fit.
