Chapter 2

Merlin was rejoicing at his good luck. How Uther had granted him a pardon instead of his death. He bounded into Gaius' room.

"Gaius!" he yelled

"What is it Merlin!" cried a frantic Gaius, rushing out from Merlin's room. "What did Uther say?"

"He said-" His smile fell and his heart stopped beating momentarily when Merlin saw them come to the door.

Guards.

"No!" thought Merlin "Uther promised!"

A guard cleared his throat. "I have been sent by his majesty the King to get the signature from the boy known as Merlin's guardian, Gaius."
Gaius slowly walked up to the guards and peered at the piece of parchment that one of the men had handed him. If he was angry, he didn't show it. With a heavy sigh Gaius grabbed a quill and signed the form. Suddenly Merlin realised what the parchment meant. He wouldn't be able to talk to Gaius or anyone forever.

It had been one year since Merlin had last said a word to anyone. His skin was even paler and his once happy blue eyes had turned sallow and dull. Merlin tried to go up the stairs as fast as he could. He needed to get to his room before his tears would start pouring out. The reason was that he had just seen Gwen and Morgana laughing at the markets. He couldn't stand this. Abruptly his foot slipped on the step. Merlin came plummeting down. A shooting pain erupted at the side of his head as Merlin fell into unconsciously.

He expected to have been lying on his bed with a kind person staring at him from above but no. He was still lying in the same spot as before he had passed out. A huge puddle of blood was surrounded around him. He couldn't stand it. Merlin knew what he needed to do. He had made up his mind.
