Chapter 2
Merlin pov
"Gwen," I whisper
"Merlin? you've been whipped," she whispers back
"Yes" I answer
"Why didn't you tell me?"
I look down. I feel guilty for not telling her but…..
"I haven't told anyone except my mother and now you, Gwen you mustn't tell anyone. Please, I beg you."
"Merlin I…"
"Please, Gwen, swear you won't tell anyone"
"I swear Merlin"
"Thank you, Gwen," I say
I look at the ground. I know that mother and Gwen are looking at me. I don't meet their eyes
"I don't understand though Merlin," Gwen says "Why would you never tell us."
I look up but don't look at them
"I didn't want to be a burden and…. I thought you'd all think I was weak"
I quickly put my shirt on and go outside. I leave my mother and Gwen staring after me. Its late out and the sun is setting. I run to a lake close by to Ealdor, there is a pink and orange light in the sky and it hits the lake so that there is a mirror image reflecting on the lake. It's very beautiful.

Gwen Pov
Merlin has scars is all I can think. He's always been stronger than all of us and yet he thinks we would all think he was weak. Merlin has scars.
I sit on the bed and put my head in my hands.
He thinks of himself as a burden to.
"Why would Merlin think of himself as a burden," I ask Merlins mother
She winces
"I…. I can't tell you everything since its not for me to tell."
I nod
"When Merlin was a child here in Ealdor he…. He would accidentally do things that the town didn't like or accidentally do things that got in the way of important things going on in the village. Because of this people would constantly call him a waste of space, or a freak…. Things like that. So Merlin grew up thinking he wasn't important, he was weak or no one cared what happened to him." his mother finishes her story with a sigh.
"That's horrible!" I yell
"Yes" she sighs again
We sit in silence for a while
"Gwen?" she asks
"Yes" I answer
"Look after my son, he's had too much hardship already."
"I will try"
She gives me a sad smile
"Thank you" she sighs sadly but also happily, "I'm glad he has such good friends."
I smile back

Finally, it's here. are you ready for some beginning Mergana.
Merlin PoV
I'm sitting in front of the lake. Just in my thoughts. Suddenly I hear a crack of someone stepping on dried leaves and sticks. I turn around. It's Morgana.
"Are you alright Merlin?" she asks
"Yes thank you, Morgana." I smile
She smiles back and comes and sits down next to me
"Its very beautiful," she says
I turn and look at her. She doesn't notice
"Yes, it is."
The lake is very beautiful but I'm more talking about her. She is maybe the loveliest person on this earth. She has wavy long raven black hair same color as mine. She also has emerald green eyes. Perfect cheekbones and that's only on the outside. On the inside, she is kind, good-hearted, and smart. She is also a complete badass.
"I'm sorry about Will" she says
"So am I," I say "he was my only true friend."
She gives me a hug.
"If it helps I think of you as a friend." she whispers "your kind and you do so much for all of us, like helping me with the Druid boy."
I blush, I have a bit of a crush on Morgana.
"Now Morgana." I tease "what would Uther think, you being friends with a servant."
"I don't care what Uther thinks," she says
"For the record Morgana, I think of you as a friend too"
They smile at each other
