A collection of 100 word drabbles. Mostly based around Merlin and Arthur. Ch 78- Arthur did not understand yet the evils of sorcery. The intention behind the act did not matter. Who knew that better than he did?

Author's Note: Here's the third drabble in the current series. I hope everyone is enjoying these so far! Read and review! Thanks to all those who already have!

Chapter 22: Nightmare (part 3 of 8)

Now that Merlin knew what was keeping Arthur awake, he had to admit that he didn't know what to do. He had to start thinking things through more.

Arthur would hate Merlin seeing him like this, but even as he watched, Arthur became more restless, and Merlin was torn.

He saw Arthur thrashing, face twisting in pain. With a sympathetic pang in his heart, Merlin realized a few tears had even escaped Arthur's closed eyes. He had never seen Arthur so vulnerable.

Suddenly, he heard a whimper coming from his friend. "Mother..nng..no."

Merlin's eyes widened because suddenly everything made sense.
