"What happened?" Arthur questioned, he had a genuine fear that something like this would happen. Gwen was breathless " we were walking" she began rubbing her right arm tenderly, " we were going to my house, nothing seemed at all amiss until we reached my door, she suddenly became frazzled, threw me inside and ran off."
"Are you alright?"
"Yes I just don't know what caused her to flee." Arthur knew it was her instincts; he wouldn't kill her because she wouldn't be here to do so. He couldn't trust her because she was beyond human; she used people because she didn't trust anyone, not even Merlin.
"Maybe she saw someone, one of the men who captured her perhaps." Merlin offered as he feverishly looked out of his window, the concern that painted his face made Arthur's stomach burn in anger, how could she do this to Merlin? He would find her and when he did he would rid her from the world.
Merlin scrambled to get materials to follow her, he trusted her, Gwen trusted her.
"Maybe she fled to protect us." Gwen began, "that's what she kept repeating when she was infected with the dragon venom, that her being her was wrong and she had to leave."
"Have you realized that she has told us nothing?" Arthur tried to manage his tone, but his anger came out anyway, Merlin looked as he had just been slapped in the face and you would have thought Gwen had lost her best friend. However, neither of them could deny his statement. "We will find her and get the answers we require to keep Camelot safe."
He walked out before he finished the sentence, his brain stretched in confliction, he wanted to trust her, but for what purpose, how had she proved any loyalty? It wasn't like Morgana who he had known throughout childhood, who had supported him, guided him and even she was not to be trusted.
