A/N: Here is chapter 25! This chapter will be Arthur's POV of him interrupting Cenred attacking Gwen! After some reviewers have expressed their curiosity to see how he came to rescue, etc. I decided to do it. There is a poll on my profile to see who Gwen is better with! Please look if you already haven't. I DON'T OWN Merlin!

Arthur's POV

I can't help looking at the entrance of chevaliers'. I was becoming worried about Gwen. We were supposed to meet here at 8pm and its gone 20 past.

As I looked at my phone to see if she had messaged me, I decided to call her. After all, what would the worse scenario be? That she's changed her mind? Or, something much worse?

The phone went straight to answer phone and it was becoming harder to tear my eyes away from the door.

It wasn't just the time that was worrying me but something else. I had a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that I just can't shake and for some reason, it seemed connected to Gwen's absence.

I need to check she's alright! I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happens to her….

I quickly grabbed my coat before making my way out of the restaurant. Where I was going I don't know but I need to find out if she's alright. I walked around the restaurant a bit before deciding to check if she's at home. As I began walking, I couldn't help but pray that she was.

I know it was ludicrous to feel so protective, and so worried about her but the feeling of something bad happening, seems so potent.

As I walked to the beginning of Gwen and Meg's road, what I expected to see I don't know but what I saw I knew would make me feel sick and angry for a long time.

A man who seemed familiar and not in a good way, was bent over a woman who seemed unconscious… Although, he could have been helping her as I was a bit away from him, I knew what he was doing as he started to unbuckle his belt. The sight made me not only feel sick but furious. What type of man does this to a woman?

I knew I couldn't let this happen and I definitely wouldn't! I couldn't have that on my conscious.

"Get away from her!" I thundered to the man, furiously.

The man seemed startled for a moment as his back stiffened but after that he seemed to pull himself together. Enough so, that he stood and turned to me.

I knew exactly where I had seen him before. He had been the man who had propositioned Gwen in the club! If anything this made me feel even angrier.

"What are you goin' do about it, Arthur?" He snarled at me, smirking.

The woman was still in the shadows so I couldn't see her face but she, too, looked familiar. As I took in her clothes which were in disarray, I realised that I knew her! It made me feel sick again, so much so, I wondered if I was going to throw up.

He wanted a fight, I know he did, especially, as he was walking closer to me. It'd be my punishment for interrupting him.

"Only this…!" I told him, before punching him in his face.

I was starting to think that perhaps he wasn't in the right state of mind as he started to laugh manically. Not before, of course, punching me back.

Every punch I delivered seemed to bounce off him and although, he was looking slightly bloody his smirk would still remain.

I was becoming more exhausted by the minute so when the creep punched me hard in the stomach, I wasn't ready for it at all. I couldn't help hunching over in order to quell the pain but I only managed to lose my balance and start swaying.

The creep seeing this was getting ready to deliver his winning blow, and looked so smug and victorious I wanted to throttle him!

As I my phone started to ring, I noticed that it was Guinevere's ringtone. I looked to the woman unconscious and I could see the woman had sat up but there was a faint light near her. A mobile…?

The woman was Gwen! I thought angrily.

That fact it was Gwen whom the man- more like bastard- had attacked made me angrier than I ever had ever been.

The thought that she needed me and was injured made all the exhaustion I had been feeling go away.

I knew that I could bear near her if I only end this. As the man noticed I had become angry again, he looked to Gwen and seeing she was conscious, his eyes became full of lust again. It was like he knew I cared for her!

It was this which pushed me over the edge. I wanted to hurt the scumbag and he was taunting me!

With one violent punch, I punched him straight to the side of the head. The man didn't seem to look like it had even hit him but after a moment, he went down like a tonne of bricks!

Without even looking at him, I ran to Gwen's side.

Now that I could see her properly, a lump rose in my throat which I had to swallow before speaking.

Gwen looked awful as her eyes showed how terrified she still was even if he was unconscious. Her look made me want to hug her and never let her let go. It also made me feel guilty. After all, tonight had been my idea.

"Oh my god, Gwen. Are you alright? Has he hurt you? What has he done?" I asked her desperately, still taking in her appearance.

Gwen didn't seem surprised by my appearance but she did have a perpetual grimace of pain which seemed to be a permanent feature.

"I'm alright, Arthur. I'm just sore." She told me, almost inaudibly.

I could see she was trying to be brave and I could help look sceptically at her. I looked over her again for injuries and this time I noticed her head. There was a cut to the back of her head which was bleeding profusely.

I reached out to examine it but before I could get anywhere near her, Gwen flinched violently. I couldn't help but feel heart-broken and upset that she was frightened of me but given what had happened, I couldn't blame her. Even if I did feel sad, my desire to help her, protect her was so strong that I knew I would have to move past my own ego in order to do so.

"Let's get you to a hospital, Guinevere." I told her, softly.

Gwen looked so fragile and scared that I needed to remind myself that the scumbag won't hurt her again. I couldn't fail her again….

"Okay. But what about him?" She asked me fearfully, looking at the unconscious man.

I followed her gaze wishing every kind of evil onto the scumbag before looking at her again.

At her words, I couldn't help but think how happy I would be just to let him rot in hell but saying that to Gwen wouldn't make her feel any security or relief. If I'm honest, she'd freak out.

"We'll ring the police and tell them." I told her, emphatically.

A/N: There you go. I didn't want to make it repetitive but I kind of wanted to show how Gwen reacted from Arthur's POV as well as the attack. Also, if any of you can tell me why I have used the name of the resturant- which is Chevaliers'- I will dedicate the next chapter to you! Just a hint: people who speak french will find this easier.

Please review! I hope you like it.
