'thoughts'
'talking'
Once Arthur had reached his chamber's, he walked in and closed the door quickly behind him, he would not let anyone see him like this, he leant his back on the door, slipped down to the floor, brought his knees up under his chin, wrapped him arms around them, placed his head on his knees and began to cry.
'How could she' Arthur sobbed 'how could she go to him and not to me, her safety means everything to me, I would have helped her'
After a while Arthur calmed himself enough to move away from the door and started to remove his armour, he was glad that Merlin had not come to help him because at the moment he did not know what he would do to the boy. Taking off his chain mail and placing it on the table Arthur sighed, tears started to build up in his eyes again and his heart felt heavy in his chest. No one had every hurt him this bad before he felt betrayed. He blinked and rubbed his eyes willing for the tears to stop but they continued. In the end he gave up, walking over to his bed, sat down and took off his boots then turned to lay on his side curling into a ball, this is when he finally broke down completely, crying into his pillow letting the tears flow freely and he slow fell into restless sleep filled with nightmares.
This is how Merlin found Arthur the next morning, curled in a ball in the middle of his bed, eyes all puffy and cry streaks down his cheeks. Merlin was very concerned to how he was meet with the sight of the prince, since he had become the princes servant he had never seen him like this.
Merlin run out of the prince's chambers straight Gaius's chambers, he would be able to tell what was wrong.
Within a few minutes Merlin throw open the door to Gaius's chamber, 'Gaius' Merlin said trying to catch his breath back.
The physician looked up from the book he was reading and looked at Merlin, 'what is it my boy? '
'It's Arthur' Merlin started, Gaius frowned 'I found his curled in a ball in the middle of his bed, eyes all puffy and cry streaks down his cheeks, Gaius I have never seen him like this before.' Gaius could see that Merlin was very concerned about Arthur.
'Merlin I will come and take a look at the Arthur, go back to his chambers just in case he wakes up, I will be along in a moment' Merlin nodded and run back to his master's chamber's as fast as his feet could carry him.
Merlin arrived back at Arthur's chambers just as he began to stir, Merlin walked softy to the end of his master bed and slightly watched waiting for him to wake up fully.
Still in the same position as last night, Arthur slowly opened his eyes he couldn't remember how he got there….until the memories of last night came rushing back to him, he closed his eyes again willing and wishing the images away. Knowing the images of the conversation between Del and Merlin would not go away, he opened is eyes and turn to sit up only to come face to face with Merlin !!!
