Merlin is owned by people who are not us, with a lot more money. No money is being made from this and no infringement is intended, so don't sue us.
Pairings: Merlin/OC, Arthur/OC, yup we are overwriting the a large chunk of the legend, because we can, kinda written for laughs though. Also the ocs are kinda self inserts.
Rated T because of upcoming events.
Don't like, don't read, simple as that.

Chapter two
Isabella got onto her cream horse and started galloping as if her life depended on it.
She would not be caught by that prat Arthur who was not noble at all, he could be prince of the prats. She slowed down as she entered the forest, not wanting to crash into any trees.
Isabella tied Inara to a low branch and headed further in on foot, only to trip over a tree root ten minutes later.
Arthur was pacing the room, throwing things around the room almost breaking all the windows, Merlin ducked, just in time as a goblet bounced off the wall where his head had just been.
"Bad mood, Sire?"
"Merlin..."
"Yes? Sire"
"Fetch the Lady Cassandra, she would probably know where her sister has gone, then muck out the horses"
"Yes, sire" Merlin replied and hurried to ask Gwen, she had been assigned to the Lady Cassandra and Lady Isabella and would probably know where the Lady Cassandra had gone.
He wasn't going to argue about this order, as his master was in a foul mood and he didn't want a goblet or worse wedged in his head.
Gaius would have trouble fixing that, even with magic. And he would have to work doubly hard to repay him, Merlin thought he was worked hard enough now.
He found a note on the door to Lady Cassandra's chambers, saying she had gone to the library.
Only to nearly crash into Lady Cassandra herself when she was coming back from the stables,
"Obviously got tired of the library" He thought.
"Hello Merlin" Lady Cassandra said, politely.
"Prince Arthur would like to see you, Merlin said
"Is this on the whereabouts of my sister?"
Merlin nodded then asked "how did you know?"
"Her horse wasn't there when I went to groom Willow"
"You know where she might have gone?"
"Knowing Izzy like I do, Probably the forest"
"The forest full of dangerous creatures, the forest that currently has rumors of raiders and bandits living in it at the moment"
"Ah" Lady Cassandra replied "with my sister, and her habit for injuring herself, I can see some rescuing might be needed. But never the less she can look after herself"
"You think?" Merlin said, sarcastically, and Cassie giggled.
Arthur was still pacing the room when Merlin returned with the Lady Cassandra and asked
"Merlin, are you thirsty?"with a pitcher of water in his hand
Merlin looked terrified, before he said "Not in front of the Lady Cassandra" Arthur looked apologetically at the Lady Cassandra and was about to tip it then stopped and laughed meanly, grinning evilly.
The Lady Cassandra tipped her head, to the left with a look of confusion on her face before she dismissed the thought and expression with a shrug.
"I guess you want to know where my sister is" Cassie said, quietly.
"That would be nice" Arthur replied
" My best guess is the forest" Lady Cassandra replied, simply.
"The Forest!" Arthur exclaimed, he looked like he was going to punch something
"I'm just going to go now" Merlin said, quietly, as he edged towards the door and away from the water pitcher.
"No you are not!" Arthur yelled throwing the pitcher at him, Merlin ducked and the water ended up drenching Cassandra by accident.
The prince and the serving boy looked apologetic at the Lady Cassandra, before she stormed out to change her dress.
She would be going into the forest for the second time that day she put on her green hunting dress.
Merlin was getting the horses, followed by Arthur, who was pretty much glaring at everyone he passed.
The Lady Cassandra arrived last, she had needed to dry off before she put on the new dress. But she quickly mounted her horse and was racing ahead of Arthur and Merlin but slowed down once they had caught up.
Isabella sighed as she looked at her now bleeding ankle and winced, but ignored the pain. There were raiders in this forest, from what she heard around the court so far, and although she had some fight training, she couldn't fight off over seven men on her own, unfortunately even when she hadn't hurt herself, fighting off seven men would be basically impossible in this state.
She heard the calls of people on horseback, and she moved against the tree, trying not to be seen in case they were bandits or bounty hunters.
She drew her sharp throwing knife out, Arthur heard the noise and turned her way, as she quickly hid behind the tree, she would not let that prat find her.
Cassie dismounted and took a look at the surroundings and quickly spotted Inara, her sister's horse tied to a branch, not too far away,
"She can't be too far away," Arthur said, Cassie nodded in agreement, she could sense her sister was close and hurt, her gift was drawing her to her sister because she was hurt.
"Knowing her shell have hurt herself on that huge root over there"then she spotted a torn piece of blue dress, stained with a little blood and sighed, as Arthur put together the pieces.
"She's bleeding, which means she can't have gone too far." Arthur replied, worriedly, thinking bout having to go to war at his age.
Their fathers would not be happy about this, Arthur knew that for sure, as he dismounted from his horse.
Cassie's eyes meet her sister's for a second, before Isabella ducked her head back behind the tree again, she obviously didn't want to come out.
"I think I saw her over there" Cassie said pointing to where her sister's head had disappeared.
Isabella cursed under her breath, and stayed quiet while Arthur walked towards her tree and, cursed again as he spotted her with a triumphant smirk and humph as he endeavored to help her and she just ignored him as he held out his hand to help her up.
"Go away," She replied, this took the prince a little by surprise.
Arthur looked indignant and said full of himself, "No, I'm the Prince of Camelot and you will show me respect, and not act like a child"
Isabella replied with the retort "Well you would certainly know how to act like a petulant child,you act like one everyday and you treat your servants like dirt"
"I do not!" Arthur replied, and looked at Merlin "I treat you fine,like the most trusted servant in Camelot, you have a great job"
"When you threw water at me and make me muck out the stables seven times a day, and wear ridiculous outfits to embarrass me."
Arthur looked annoyed and said "Don't lie Merlin, I'm a great master" Merlin raised an eyebrow and then shook his head.
The Lady Cassandra spoke up then said, in a quiet voice "He threw water at me" Isabella turned to look at the prince and glared.
Arthur replied "I was aiming for Merlin in my defense"
"My point exactly" Isabella said, rather angry that she had heard that her sister had been drenched, by the prince.
As she threw her knife at the prince, missing his head on purpose and it was stuck in the tree right next his head.
"Woah" the prince murmured as he almost got a knife in the skull, and had a weird sense of vertigo.
He glared at her and saw blood on the edge of her dress and looked at her ankle as she quickly hid it.
She struggled to stand and was about to fall to the ground, when Arthur caught her and she blushed just a little, but tried to cover it up.
((A/N: Angry Email: Hurry up and kiss already
Lady Isabella: *throws knife at Angry email* *Just misses*
Angry Email: *squeaks in fear,*
Gonril123: *laughs*))
Merlin looked at Isabella's blushing face and said "Oh my god, that's disgusting"
Arthur turned to face Merlin and growled "Merlin! Go take a walk to the nearest stables and muck them and then take a long walk off a short cliff"
Cassandra giggled quietly behind her hand,
"You like him, that is disgusting" He said, to Lady Cassandra
"I don't, Arthur and I used to be betrothed a long time ago, but that's past. We were no more than children at the time" Cassandra replied to Merlin, calmly. That was a long time ago, before the kingdoms had drifted apart Cassie had , but she was happy that there was now an alliance between the two kingdoms once again. "The fact that we used to be engaged is enough to put me off" s
Arthur glared slightly at Lady Cassandra as he helped the Lady Isabella onto her horse. She was strong enough to ride home on her own horse, but would be needing to see Gaius when they got back to Camelot.
