chapter5
Time stands still, beauty in all she is, I will be brave, I will not let anything take away, whats standing in front of me.
Merlin woke up that night feeling the need to go to the bathroom, he figured he could just go since Arthur and Morgana were both nice to him so far. So he did just that. After relieving himself, Merlin went in the kitchen to get a drink. He poured himself a cup of water then gulped it down. He put the glass in the sink and went back towards the living room.
Only before he stepped one foot in the room, a hand slapped over his mouth and pulled him back in the kitchen. Merlin struggled. He kicked and whimpered into the hand at his mouth.
He was pushed against the wall face first.
"What the hell are you doing out?"
Merlin tried using his hands to pull away from the wall and whimpered when he only succeeded in scratching his nails against the tiles.
"You think I wouldn't know? Well guess what, the moment I looked down at my keys, I realized I forgot one. And if I forgot it then it must've stayed in the basement, which means I left the door unlocked. Which means, the little bitch got out." Uther's breath was hot on his face and Merlin tried screaming for Arthur and Morgana. But no sound came out. He whimpered again.
Uther pulled Merlin away from the wall and walked him towards the back door in the kitchen. Just as the man got Merlin out of the door, Uther was pulled backwards.
Merlin quickly turned to see Arthur punch the man in the face. Merlin tried to run back in. "Stay out Merlin!" And the blond shut the door. From the inside, Merlin could hear commotion. He heard things falling, glass breaking. He heard Arthur screaming, Morgana screaming. Then... nothing.
Merlin tried to open the door but no matter what he did it wouldn't budge. He slammed his hand flat on the door."Arthur! Arthur open! Arthur please!"
He tried using his body to push the door open with his body, but of course that was useless. Merlin looked at the door then looked to the side where there were plants. The boy bit his bottom lip and pushed the plants away from the window, opened it, then climbed inside.
Merlin looked around with wide eyes. He was outside for less than two minutes and the mess looked like it had been hours. His bare feet stepped over glass and broken plants from inside the house.
He started breathing heavy through his mouth. "Arthur?" He whispered, barely able to talk. He gulped and his eyes teared up. "Arthur? Morgana?"
He stopped when he ran into the open basement door. He heard noises. "Arthur?"
"Merlin?"
The boy looked to the living room and ran when he saw Morgana getting off the floor. "Morgana? Are you ok?"
The girl gulped then nodded.
Merlin wiped at a bleeding cut on her forehead and she hissed. "Where's Arthur?" Merlin asked.
"I don't know, it happened so fast."
"Merlin?"
The boy looked towards the basement door. "Arthur." He whispered. He got to his feet and ran to the blond then wrapped his arms around him. "I thought you were dead. You weren't answering."
Arthur took a deep breath and chuckled. "I'm stronger than I look. Besides, I'm strong for you."
Merlin looked up at him and smiled.
"Where is he?" Morgana growled. "He made me hit my head. I'd like to repay the favor."
Arthur smirked. "Not yet."
Merlin frowned. "What did you do?"
Arthur shrugged.
