Author's Note: This is a continuation of my previous drabble. Please enjoy! Also, if you think it's out of character for Merlin to tell Arthur if Gwen doesn't tell him, then feel free to think of it as a bluff, with him giving her the timeframe in order to force her hand, but still trying to convince her to say something if she doesn't. I do think eventually he would be forced to take action, as I sincerely doubt he would let them keep it from Arthur indefinitely. Anyway, I hope everyone likes it! Thank you to all my supporters! Read and review!

Chapter 10: Ultimatum (part 2 of 5)
Merlin laughed, a bitter, angry, disbelieving sound, and stared at her incredulously.
"Arthur's my best friend Gwen. He's practically my brother. I'm not helping you keep this from him. He's going to feel betrayed enough when he finds out what you and Lancelot have done. I'm not going to make it worse!"
Merlin gave her a long look, and she had to restrain herself from bursting into tears. His expression was angry, disappointed, and so very, very sad.
"I'm giving you two weeks Gwen. You tell him by then, or I will."
Gwen watched him leave, then fell down, sobbing.
