Sorry for such the long wait, but this was such a hard chapter to write! It's also really short, only like 350 words. It's only in Arthur's POV, because I couldn't bear writing it in Merlin's. I've also had compete writers block all week. On the bright side, in a lecture on iTunes U (Yes, I'm that much of a nerd that I watch that stuff for no reason) the professor used the "Two sides of the same coin" while describing physics and bio. He's been speaking with Kilgarrah!
I waited, breathing in and out. I gently closed my eyes. I could see the events in my head, as if they were happening, forever etched into my memory.
FLASHBACK
"Merlin! Where are you?" I called, walking towards my chambers. Where was that idiotic boy? I arrived at my room, and was about to open the door, when a flash of light shot out from the door.
"**** (AN: insert swear word of choice)" That was definitely Merlin's voice. What was happening? Were we under attack? Was there a sorcerer in there? At least I found Merlin, but was he in danger? I burst through the door. Only Merlin was in the room. What was going on? He was sprawled on the floor, soaking wet.
"Merlin? What'd that light come from?" I half yelled, walking to the center of the room and drawing my sword.
"Um, I dunno?" He said, more asking me than telling.
"Where? I have to get the sorcerer!" He shrunk to the ground. Slowly my mind numbed, it couldn't have been, but was it? "Merlin," I said slowly, "Was that you?" He lowered even further. "Merlin," this time it was a warning. He nodded, slowly, fearfully. I didn't think, just attacked. That was my instinct: see a sorcerer, kill it. I didn't stop to think about reasons, just that there was a sorcerer that couldn't protect himself, doing magic in my room.
I lunged, landing on top of him, twisting his arm. His eyes were fearful, but I didn't care. I punched him in the eye, pushing him further into the ground, crushing him. I got up, dragging him with me. I pushed him to the wall, and he crumpled back to the ground. I grabbed the nearest object, my helmet, and chucked it at him. I kept flinging everything possible at him, before stopping to look for my sword, to finish the deed.
By the time I found it, he was gone.
