"What do you mea-"
The Doctor smashed his fingers on Merlin's lips. He looked at The Doctor in utter confusion.
"Shh... Listen." Said The Doctor.
They heard the thumping and cracking of horse hooves on the leaf covered ground.
"Go!" The Doctor yelled.
They all quickly mounted their horses and dashed in the opposite direction of the noise. They rode until they came to a cliff and they had to stop.
"Doctor, where do we go?!" Amy was panicking,"We need to get back to the TARDIS! Now we'll never get back!"
The Doctor didn't respond, instead he just turned his horse and led them in another direction. They came across a small village and stopped. No one really suspected anything of them and welcomed the guests.
"We need to get rid if these horses. They will give us away if we get caught." The Doctor said.
They found someone and sold the horses for a good bit of money. Someone was kind enough to supply them with a meal and they set back off into the woods walking slowly and silently.
"Merlin?" Asked Amy.
"Yeah?"
"Why did you do that for us? Once Arthur realizes you're gone wont you be in trouble? You helped us get away!"
"Don't worry. I have things under control." Answered Merlin assuringly,"Doctor, do you know of sorcerers?"
The Doctor had been walking silently, in front the whole time and suddenly stopped.
"Yes, I've heard of them." The Doctor turned around and looked at Merlin,"Do you have magic, Merlin?"
"Magic?! Doctor, are you insane?!" Amy found this comical. "Magic isn't real, Doctor."
"I-I saw you walk out of nothing. Just appear out of nowhere." Said Merlin. "I thought you were a wizard or something. No I'm not a sorcerer. That's preposterous." Merlin tried to lie as best as he could.
"What did you mean by spell earlier?" Asked the Doctor.
"Spell?" Merlin laughed fakely. "I never said spell. When did you hear me say that?"
"You said I used a spell to see your blue box. I am quite sure of it."
"No, no. I did not. Maybe you got a little knock to the head back there." Merlin teasingly knocked the doctor on the head. He didn't appreciate this.
"Amy did you hear it?" The doctor was annoyed.
"Erm.. No, Doctor. Are you okay?"
The Doctor became frustrated, sort of did his little doctor growl, turned, and began walking again.
Amy looked at Merlin and smiled. He smiled back and felt his face blush so he quickly looked away. She was so pretty. Maybe now she would notice him when he helped them.
After a while of walking the doctor turned around again.
"We need to get back to Camelot. Soon."
"Um. Okay. I can manage that. We'll need to go north of here. First we must figure out which way is north." answered Merlin.
The Doctor licked his finger and held it up.
"This way."
Amy and Merlin followed behind him. They came to the same cliff which let them know they were close. They wouldn't, however, be able to cover distance as quickly on foot. The Doctor now trailed behind with his thoughts as they walked along the edge of the cliff.
"Doctor, should we tell Merlin?" Asked Amy.
The Doctor smiled.
"Maybe. He did help us after all."
"I think we should when we get back."
"Merlin, when we tell you this it will blow your mi-"
The Doctor's voice stopped.
"Doctor?" Asked Amy and she turned around. The Doctor was nowhere in sight.
"Doctor?!" Amy yelled.
"Oh no." Merlin looked over the edge and saw the Doctor laying draped over a thick branch of a tree below. There was still a long way to fall from the tree too.
"Doctor?" Merlin called.
There was no response. He must have been knocked unconscious on the way down.
"Amy, I need to tell you something you cannot tell anyone else."
Amy nodded.
"Amy, I am a sorcerer. I need to use magic to save the Doctor."
Amy's face lit up. She smiled.
"Haha. You can't expect me to believe that magic is real?"
"I can, Amy."
Merlin reached out his hand and said some words Amy couldn't understand and some pebbles on the ground raised from the earth and danced in the air over the edge of the cliff and then fell.
Amy's expression was one of surprise.
"No way. Magic is real? This is wonderful, Merlin! I won't tell a soul!"
Merlin smiled. He began climbing down the edge of the cliff and said some more words Amy didn't know and she saw his eyes glow golden. He was then able to easily climb down. He made it to the bottom under where the doctor was.
"Amy, jump!" Merlin yelled from below.
"Jump? You can't be serious? I'm not jumping!"
"Just trust me and jump please!"
Amy looked down and at the doctor then back at Merlin. She didn't know what she was thinking but she jumped. She screamed and before she hit the ground she was gently stopped in mid air. She opened her eyes and softly landed on her feet. She took a deep breath.
"That was amazing!" She was so joyed. "I guess we should save the Doctor now? How?"
"I've got an idea." Merlin smiled at her.
He lifted his hand and said a spell. His eyes flashed golden and the doctor slipped off the branch. Amy gasped as her friend fell through the air. The Doctor stopped about six feet above the ground. Merlin put his hand down and the doctor fell to the ground with a thump.
"Oops. I was a bit off."
"Oh. I'm sure he's fine?" Amy said unsure.
They both walked over to him. He sure was knocked out. There was a lump on his forehead and his clothes were ripped. His skin was scratched from all the tiny branches scraping him when he fell. Six feet was still pretty far to fall. Amy looked at the doctor and looked up in the tree. The doctor's coat was hanging by a branch.
"Umm, merlin? The doctor would be devastated if he lost his coat."
Merlin lifted his hand and the coat fell. Amy retreived it and put it over the doctor.
"Maybe we should stay here for the night." Said Merlin. "We'll have to find a way to get back up there to get back to Camelot tomorrow but for now its getting dark and cold and we must build a fire.
