Merlin's Prank ch2
So I've decided to continue with this story, for now anyway. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!
"I wonder why she ran away screaming when I tried to talk to her." Asked Arthur, referring to the girl they had seen earlier
"Look I know you don't usually get that kind of reaction from girls usually but, you don't look the same anymore. I don't think that she was used to seeing a man with blue hair." Merlin explained, Arthur hit Merlin over the head
"And whose fault is that? Said Arthur
"Hey-!" Merlin didn't get a chance to finish, for the girl had reappeared with what looked to be an angry mob behind her.
"Look! He's a warlock!" she shouted, pointing at Arthur
"Oh great, this is just perfect!" said Arthur as he and Merlin turned around and ran. The mob followed them, apparently they had planned for a chase because soon Arthur and Merlin were surrounded
"Look, I'm no warlock. My buddy here just spilled some dye on my head, that's all. It will fade soon." Said Arthur, trying to get them out of this situation
"Liar!" someone from the mob called out
"Warlock!" shouted the girl, the cry was taken up by everybody as the mob closed in on Merlin and Arthur
"Anytime now Merlin." Said Arthur under his breath, it was too late, the mob grabbed Arthur and dragged him towards the court house. Nobody paid any attention to Merlin.
"That's right, don't mind the warlock wearing the red scarf, just drag the Prince of Camelot away." Said Merlin to himself as he followed behind.
Merlin was the last to enter the courthouse, he stood in the back to listen as Arthur was put on trial.
"You are a warlock, if you admit guilt then you will be treated less severely. That is, you will be killed quicker." Said one of the villagers
"For the tenth time, I am not a warlock!" protested Arthur
"Where did you come from?" before Arthur could come up with an answer Merlin had come up with a plan.
"Look outside! A man doing magic!" he shouted out, everybody turned and looked to where Merlin was pointing, but there was no one there.
"But, he was just there! He must have disappeared! Come on, I'm sure he is still there, just blending in!" said Merlin, the villagers got angry, a few of the grabbed torches of the walls and they all headed outside, during the villagers confusion Merlin ran forward and used magic to free Arthur from the rope that was tying him down
"I have to admit Merlin, that plan was not half bad. Now, can you get us out of here?" asked Arthur
"I can try, but we have to hurry, sooner or later they will realize that there is no one there." Arthur an Merlin ran outside and began to run out of town. They came across someone on the path, by the time they realized that he was there it was too late for Merlin and Arthur to hide.
"Why are you guys running?" demanded the boy.
"Nowhere, who are you?" asked Merlin
"Name's Bob, and I reckon that you are running away from the law that says no magic is to be practiced here. I saw you in the courthouse." He directed that last bit at Merlin
"You didn't see anything! Bye now!" said Merlin, he and Arthur started running again. They boy shouted in the direction of the villagers, who were still searching for a man who wasn't there,
"Hey dad! The Warlock and his friend are escaping!" the villagers turned and abandoned their search in favor of the chase, Merlin and Arthur had the entire village on their tail, but the group was slowly getting thinner as people got tired and stopped, soon there were only about five men left to chase Merlin and Arthur, not to mention Bob.
"Now would be a fantastic time to get us out of here Merlin!" shouted out Arthur, the only thing Merlin could think was how annoyed he was at the Prince
"I don't know if it will work you dollup-head!" he said
"Well try it anyway!" demanded Arthur, Merlin started to shout out a spell, finishing a moment later. Once again Merlin and Arthur travelled through time and space, hopefully back to Camelot.
Unfortunately instead of Camelot, they landed in…
Meanwhile in Camelot, everyone was going crazy, people searched every inch of the castle and the town. Arthur's horse was still in the stables, as well as all the other horses. Leon was just going to tell Gaius about Merlin's disappearance as well as Arthur's. He knocked on the door to the physician's chambers.
"Come in." said Gaius, Leon opened the door and stepped inside, Gaius los mixing some ingredients together in a bowl. Leon was one of the trusted few whom Arthur told about Merlin's powers, the others were Gwen and Gwaine, the latter always knew there was something different about Merlin
"Gaius, I'm afraid Merlin and Arthur are missing." Said Leon, Gaius stopped stirring and looked up
"How?" asked Gaius
"No one knows, there doesn't look as if there was a struggle, his breakfast was untouched. Could it have been Merlin? Is there a sort of…. transportation spell?" asked Leon
"Hmmm, I don't know. Bring me Arthur's food and drink, I can examine. Be sure Uther does not see you." Said Gaius, Leon nodded and left. Gaius was worried, he knew that Merlin wouldn't purposely risk exposing himself by transporting Arthur somewhere, if that is what happened then it must have been an accident or a different wizard. Possibly Morgana, we haven't heard from her in a while. If it is indeed Morgana, then Merlin and Arthur could be in grave danger.
Next chapter will be longer, and could possibly be up very soon, seeing as I've already written most of it. From now on each chapter will be a new place/time period. If you have any requests please let me know!
