Part 5! I couldn't come up with another name to go with the whole 'holding on' theme... Oh well... Enjoy!
"Damn it!"
The pained yell echoed through the empty cave as Merlin sank to his knees, an ugly sob escaping his lips.
He'd been gone 5 months and the first time he saw Arthur again, Arthur yelled at him, but he couldn't really blame Arthur, Merlin would've yelled too if he was in Arthur's place. But the thing that hurt Merlin the most was that he had ran away, not explaining, not eventrying to, he just left.
Merlin sighed and slowly got to his feet, dried his eyes and took a deep breath.
He would have to go back.
