Hello everyone. Here is the next chapter.
Next one should be the last.
Enjoy.
"I'm telling you the truth." Merlin protested towards Arthur. Ever since Merlin found out who his mother's boyfriend was he had been more determine to stop their love than ever...
(Flash back)
Merlin sat down behind the wall and listen to what they were talking about. Hunith and Uther were arm in arm looking out at the view of Camelot. Merlin wrote down some notes that he had found out. He stopped writing as they began to talk again.
"This is beautiful Uther," she said sighing. Uther looked down at her and smiled. Merlin wished his mother wasn't so short.
"So are you." She smiled lovingly back at him.
Merlin knew what was going to happen next.
As his mother and Uther's faces become closer and closer together, Merlin looked around rapidly for something to throw at them. Even if he threw something anyway, his mother would guess that it was him and it would be game over. Their faces were close now and Merlin covered his mouth as they kissed. The kiss was long and full of passion. They broke apart and said their goodbyes, as others would miss them.
When they left, Merlin could not hold it anymore. He ran over to the edge and was sick.
(End flashback)
"You meant to tell me that our parents are in love?" Arthur asked him. Merlin nodded. "What have you done to stop them?" Merlin looked up at the ceiling and thought about what had had done earlier that day...
Merlin walked along the wall with the bucket in his hand. He had passed many knights along the way and all gave him looks. The wondered why the Prince's manservant was carrying a bucket of... rotten vegetables or what was going to do with it. Some even muttered that, someone should follow him and make sure he didn't do anything stupid, but no one followed. However, Merlin was going to do something stupid. Well, he didn't class it as stupid. He classed it as getting a little bit of revenge. If anyone asked, he wouldn't deny the fact that at that moment he wished to kill the King. Therefore, this was him calming down. He stopped when he got to his point, and looked down.
He saw Uther and his best knight.
Without second thoughts, Merlin tipped the bucket over the edge and watched the rotten fruit fall right on top of Uther's head; Merlin had good aim so every bit ended up on Uther's head. Even the bucket, as Merlin dropped it. It landed over his head perfectly. Merlin clapped his hands together and walked off...
Later that day, Uther was out on a hunt. Obviously, Merlin followed. Uther kept trying to get away from his knights. Merlin was also surprised the he himself was remembering everything Arthur had tort him about hunting. Of course, Merlin wasn't hunting to kill... However, he normally would when it came to his mother's boyfriends... Nevertheless, he couldn't kill the King, could he now? It sadly, wasn't in his destiny. Alternatively, was it? He'd have to ask The Great Dragon, but for now, he'd have to live with his plan. Merlin smiled as Uther came into view. Merlin looked down. He picked up the weapon and pulled the arrow back. He knew Arthur wouldn't mind him borrowing cross bow. He slipped a roll of paper on the end of the arrow and got ready to fire. He stopped though. He was about to give Uther a message by shooting an arrow at him with a roll of paper on it. What was he thinking? Uther was the King for crying aloud. He couldn't do it like this. This was dishonourable.
Merlin looked at the end of the roll of paper. In words of magic, the paper was set alight. He smiled at the flames. Now he could send it.
He pulled the trigger and the arrow shot through the air. It hit a tree missing Uther by inches. The King's horse flew its front legs up in the air, filled with fear. Uther regained control over his horse and looked around. Merlin ducked out of sight. Trying to control his laughter. Uther blew out the flame and read the note.
Stop seeing her or else.
Uther looked around again then road off towards Camelot...
"Wait, you tried to shoot my father?" Arthur asked, cutting him off.
"That's not the half of it." Was his only reply.
Hunith walked down the corridor carrying some herbs in a big basket that hit her hip as she walked. She looked up and tried not to show emotion as Uther walked down the corridor the other way. They both passed one another. However, unseen by everyone else. Hunith and Uther reached out their hands and they both touched one another briefly.
However, Merlin saw it. The way Uther was walking, no one was around. Once he turned the corner, no one could see him. Uther wasn't far away, so Merlin only had around thirty seconds to think of some way to get a quick message across. He went back round the corner and did his troublesome thing Uther came up to the corner quicker than Merlin expected.
Uther turned the corner and screamed.
His foot had gone straight into a hoop mad of rope. The rope, tightened around his ankle and he flew up off the floor, upside-down. He looked about and one the wall in red was the same words:
Stop seeing her or else.
Uther felt a little rage build inside him, but all he could do was shouting for guards.
"Let me get this straight," Arthur said standing up. "My father and your mother are in love and you have been trying to get my father to stop seeing her by, poring rotten fruit over his head, shooting an arrow at him and trapping him in a Man trap. Correct?" Merlin nodded.
"Yep." Merlin popped the 'p'.
Arthur shook his head. "That it the most pathetic excuse for why you didn't attend me that I have ever heard." Arthur said turning round to get ready for a bath.
"It's the truth Arthur!" The warlock protested to his master.
"It's also the funniest I've ever heard." Arthur added, ignoring what Merlin had said.
"But-"
"Merlin, run me a bath NOW!" He said, throwing his shirt into Merlin's face.
Merlin tried and failed in more than one way.
Review please.
