Chapter three is up and running people! Read and review please!
You would have thought that Merlin being the kind boy he is would go to his mother and talk to her about what he heard and try to live by with his mother having a boyfriend. Then he'll meet the man, get along well and be happy when they say that they're getting married and it'll be all happy skipping through a field of daisy on a beautiful summer's day...
Yah, that's not going to happen, not in a million years.
The first thing Merlin did when he was allowed to get out of bed was follow his mother everywhere. He got another servant to so Arthur's dirty work. He had much more important things to be doing.
He had followed her all day and seen nothing of this mystery boyfriend. He had written everything down on paper, studying her every move. He had followed her to the lower town where she had shopped for food. Merlin had nearly been flattened by horses ten times. She then went through the forest collecting herbs for Gaius. Merlin had to fight off a giant, killer bear... more like run away from one, but it still counted as fighting since it had him pinned to a tree at one point in time. She then stopped off by the lake on her travels back. Whilst Merlin was spying on her, her tripped and fell in the lake. On the walk back to Camelot, Merlin fell down a hole and tripped over into a bush of stingy nestles. Then later that day, when she went to get water, Merlin bumped into some knights, who just so happened not to like him at all and they threw him in the stocks. He had fruit and vegetables all over him, since that children the of Camelot found it fun to mush all the fruit up and pore it all over him like its water. He quickly got washed up and changed then set out to find his mother again. He followed her to the kitchen door. He didn't go down the stairs towards the door since the Cook hated him. He had no idea why though. His mother came back up with some bread a few moments later. He wrote that down and went to follow her. However, the floor was wet and he slipped, falling down the stairs backwards. No damage was done to him though, just a mild concussion. He then followed her get water again, and once again, he bumped into those knights who decided to hang him by his foot upside down outside the Tavin. Some kids decided it was a good idea it throw fruit at him then hit him with sticks. In the end, the Tavin owner cut him down. He went home just as the sun was going down and got washed up. It was night when he was dressed for bed. He walked down for some food, but tripped in the steps, hit the table and a pot of water tipped over and water gushed down on top of him.
"Pass the salt Merlin." Gaius said who was already sitting on his side of the table. He picked up the pot and placed it the right way up. Merlin blew the water off him and climbed up to sit at the table. He picked up his spoon and started to eat his soup. Half way through the meal Merlin noticed something.
"Where's my mother?" Gaius dropped his spoon and gave the young warlock a death glare.
"I thought you talked to her!"
"Why should I? He's just another boyfriend that I'll try and kill!"
"She's gone to have dinner with him. Now finish your soup." Gaius said eating again. Merlin's mind said only to do one thing. Merlin picked his bowl up when Gaius wasn't looking and pored his soup into a nearby bucket. He placed it back on the table.
"Finished. I need to go and deal with Arthur, can I go?" He asked, eyes pleading his mentor. Gaius sighed and Merlin knew he had won him over. He jumped up before the old man could say a word and left. He ran knowing exactly where she and her boyfriend would be.
Cutter's field.
It didn't take Merlin long at all to get to Cutter's field. He knew she'd be there because of the view of the sky. It was obvious.
He ran up the hill and hit the ground when he saw his mother. He moved his head, trying to see who the man she was dating was. He couldn't see through the grass properly, this and his mother was in the way. He rolled over to the side to see who he was, but it failed as he rolled over in something's poo. He huffed. This was not his day.
He heard his mother talking.
"When do you think we should tell our children?" She asked. Typical of her to think about him now. "I mean, I hate keeping secrets from Merlin. Especially when it's a relation." Oh, she's all heart thought Merlin as he watched her.
"Telling them will be hard," Merlin's heart skipped a beat, as he knew that voice. "But it will all be worth it." Huith moved to the side to see her man in the moonlight, letting Merlin see him and sadly, he was right.
It was Uther.
Merlin did not think as he leaned in to kiss his mother. Merlin picked up a rock and threw it at the two. The rock landed in-between the pair, making both pull apart before their lips could meet.
"What was that?" Merlin's mother questioned.
"I'm not sure, but we should get you somewhere safe." Merlin felt like being sick at how romantic Uther was being over his mother. He felt sick when any adult acted soppy and romantic. He watched Uther and his mother walk away, hand in hand. Merlin secretly gave Uther the evils as they went.
Putting a stop to this relationship would be fun.
What's up Merlin's sleeves? Well, I know, but you don't ;)
Review please.
