They galloped through the woods playfully. Amy had never ridden a horse before and was over come with laughter. She was overjoyed and having a wonderful time. Merlin was enjoying how much she was enjoying this and smiled at her. While looking at her instead of in front of him she was smiling at him and then the smile quickly vanished.
"Merlin, watch out-"
*BANG*
Merlin ran strait into a subjacent branch knocking himself off of his horse landing strait on the ground. Amy quickly stopped her horse and jumped off. Arthur and The Doctor's horses reared as they halted to a stop. They both jumped off their horses and ran to Amy and Merlin. He was laying on the ground and not moving.
"He's not moving!" Amy was scared.
"Um..what happened?" The doctor asked.
"He ran straight into a low hanging branch." Amy answered making a face that showed she felt his pain.
There was a red mark across his forehead and it was scratched up.
"Like that hasn't happened before. Don't worry he's just a moron." Said Arthur in an annoyed tone.
"That doesn't mean he's not hurt!" Amy was concerned.
Arthur nudged him with his foot.
"Hmm." Arthur had an idea. He bent down and slapped him across the face. Nothing happened but it left Merlin with a red hand mark on his face.
"Stop! You're hurting him more!" Yelled Amy.
Arthur was taken back by how rude she just was to him. He pulled Merlin up and his hand slipped making Merlin fall back to the ground with a thud.
"Doctor help him!" Amy was angry now."He's obviously hurt and you're not even concerned."
The Doctor helped Arthur heaved him up and leaned him against a tree. The Doctor splashed some water on his face but he didn't seem to want to wake up. The once again lifted him up and draped him across his horse. The horse was trained to follow the others.
"Always leave it to Merlin to ruin something." Laughed Arthur.
They rode back to Camelot and Amy was silent the whole time. When they got back Arthur threw Merlin over his shoulder and carried him to Giaus.
"Giaus, here's Merlin."
"What happened?" Giaus asked.
"He ran into a branch. I'm sure he's fine." Answered Arthur.
"Yes, I suppose. Give him until morning," Giaus opened his eyes and examined them,"he doesn't have a concussion. It just knocked him out."
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Arthur there is nothing about the Doctor or Tardis recorded anywhere in our records. I think they may be lying to us." Said gwaine.
"What?" Arthur was devastated. He liked the doctor and Amy. How could the be lying to him.
"We also found this in his coat. I have the slightest clue what it is." Gwaine pressed the button on it and it buzzed and emitted a bright green light. Arthur was startled.
"What is this sorcery!"
"What shall we do, sire?"
"I don't know. Lets just wait a few more days. We don't know if its sorcery or not. This sounds like what the young serving girl described to me be used to light candles. Perhaps it is just a modern device for lighting candles."
"Yes, sire."
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Merlin woke up in the morning with a headache. His back hurt. He remembered what happened.
"Oh..." Merlin moaned. He was extremely embarrassed.
'Now she probably thinks I'm a wimp.' He thought. He quickly got up and got dressed. He quickly got breakfast and headed to the castle to tend to Arthur and apologize for being obnoxious.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"It's fine, Merlin." Arthur looked like he was in distress. He thought for a moment,"I think there is something askew about Amy and The Doctor."
"What? Why?"
"I don't know. I'll talk to you about this later. I need you to go into town and pick up my boots from the cobbler."
"Yes, Sire."
Merlin was walking through town and decided to take a detour. He went through a small alley between two houses and ran smack into something. He fell to the ground. When he opened his eyes he saw nothing.
"Great. Another blow to the head is just what I needed."
He got up and looked around but saw nothing. He walked forward again only to run into it again. He stepped back a put his hand in front of himself. He pressed his hand on what felt like wood but there was nothing there. He felt it until he found something that felt like a handle. He pulled on it but it wouldn't open. It was like an invisible door of some sort. He felt around for a key hole and found one. 'It's locked' he thought. He put his hand out and whispered some words. His eyes flashed a golden glow and then a blue box rippled into sight.
"Wha..." Merlin's mouth was open. He then realized this was the area where he saw Amy and the Doctor appear. They were sorcerers. Should he say something to them about it? No. Arthur is already suspicious of them. But Amy. Oh how he loved Amy. He couldn't let her get killed. Merlin was scared.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
The Doctor knocked on Arthur's door.
"Come in!" He yelled,"Oh hello, Doctor. What do you need?"
"You wouldn't, perhaps, care to tell me where I might find my jacket?"
"Oh yes. Here it is." Arthur pulled the jacket out from under his desk. He gave the doctor a strange look and threw it to him.
"Thank you." The doctor quickly slipped his coat back on and proceeded to leave but was stopped.
"What is that in your pocket, "Sire"?" Said Arthur suspiciously.
"What do you mean?" The doctor gulped.
"That metal thing that glows. What is that?"
"Umm well you see..." The Doctor was slowly backing up,"It's uh..."
"Where are you going? What is it?" Arthur stood up.
"Yes. Well there is a perfectly good explanation for what is in my pocket." He pulled out his sonic screwdriver and pointed it at the window and pressed the button. Arthur saw the green lighting and then heard a crashing noise and he had to shield his head from flying glass. The Doctor sprinted for the door and ran down the corridors as fast as he could to Amy. Arthur quickly followed him with tiny shards of glass embedded in his arms and back.
"GUARDS! GUARDS, GET HIM!" Arthur pointed down the hall where the doctor ran.
The guards sprinted down the hall after him.
The Doctor ran to his room and grabbed the TARDIS key out of his drawer very quickly and ran to Amy's room.
"AMY! AMY! AMY, WE HAVE TO GO NOW! NO QUESTIONS COME NOW! RUN!"
Amy ran to the door,"What's happenin-"
The doctor grabbed her hand,"No time for questions run! We have to find the nearest exit!"
They ran as fast as they could but the guards were much faster and were getting closer. Everywhere they turned there were more guards. The flew down a flight if stairs and Amy was trailing slightly. They found an exit and ran out into the courtyard of the castle. They ran and attracted the attention of guards and more began chasing them. They ran into Merlin, literally. They all fell to the ground and Merlin opened his mouth to speak but the doctor and Amy jumped up and began running again. Amy looked back at Merlin and smiled. She loved going in exciting adventures like this. Merlin just sat there and was startled when he saw a group of knights run past him.
"They know.." Merlin whispered to himself.
He jumped up and began to run too. He knew the city and every detour that existed. He cut through buildings and alleys and came out running right behind the doctor and Amy. He knocked down some barrels slowing down the knights and caught up with the doctor and Amy. He pulled them away from the TARDIS and led them to the horses. They all quickly got on them and galloped away. They went out the gates and over the draw bridge into the woods. They ran and ran and ran for hours until Merlin told them they could stop. They didn't say a word the whole time. When they unmounted their horses the doctor laughed. "Well! That was a close on eh, Amy?"
"Doctor! What just happened!?" Asked Amy.
"Well Arthur found my sonic and became suspicious. I couldn't tell him." The doctor made wide eyes at Amy.
"Um. Hello. I'm still here." Said Merlin.
"Oh, yes, hi." Said the doctor,"it's not what it seems. Why did you help us?"
"Because I know about your secret."
"You know I'm a-"
"Yes."
"Oh. How do you understand?"
"Because I am too."
"You are? I don't think that's possible."
"But it is. I found your invisible blue box and made not invisible."
"What? How?" The Doctor was very confused.
"I used a spell."
"A SPELL?" The Doctor was extremely confused.
"Yes. Why is that surprising?"
"I don't think we're talking about the same thing, Merlin."
