I used an online old English translator to get the old English down so if there are any mistakes I am sorry but the meaning of the words is put right after the words so I hope you like this chapter please review and enjoy the show.

Chapter 4

Merlin zipped through the trees till he was right behind the two he was hunting their scent was thick in his nostrils. He snuck up behind one of them and knocked him out cold then disappeared for a second while the other man tried to understand what happened. Merlin jumped the other man grabbing the top of his heir hard in his hand making it hurt as he pinned the man against a tree "You murdered your own wife and child in drunken rage that is what I hate about men like you. Well now their deaths will be avenged by someone who will kill you by draining you dry and I will make sure to make it painful as you did for them when you hacked at them with a knife till they bled to death." The man's eyes grew wide with fright and he started to struggle but it was fruitless because no matter what he did Merlin kept a tight grip on him until he had had enough of watching the man squirm. Merlin wrenched his head to the side making it hurt as much as possible then he bit into the man's neck hard making the man cry out in pain as Merlin's fangs drove into his skin. Merlin sucked the man dry slowly so the man would feel the life slowly ebbing out of him. The man's struggles became weaker and weaker until Merlin could hear his heart was barely beating. The man's heart gave one final thud as Merlin released him and the man hit the ground dead.

Merlin picked up the man's body and threw him in the nearby river where no one would find him. After taking care of the body Merlin went back for the other man who was still knocked out and put him over his shoulder and carried him back to the cave where Arthur was waiting. Merlin took the man inside and dumped him unceremoniously on the cave floor then went to retrieve the shackled he had collected almost twenty years ago. They were made so that one they were on the only way to get them off was for the person who put them on to take them off or the person wearing them to die. The chain attached would latch onto anything including a rock wall to make sure the prisoner does not escape.

The man was starting to stir as Merlin placed to shackles on his wrists by the time he was done hooking the chain to the shackles the man was fully awake "What do you want with me you filthy vampire why haven't you killed me yet?" Merlin growled at the man then said "You better shut your mouth . As for the reason I have not killed you is I need you alive at least until tonight." Merlin looked over at Arthur who had started to get pissed at how the man was treating Merlin but the man mistook the anger seeing it directed at Merlin as he yelled at Arthur "Run you idiot he going to change into one of them you have to get out of here!" Merlin's eyes blazed and were rimmed with red as Arthur came over putting a hand on his shoulder to calm him as he looked at the man with disgust saying "I know he is, I asked him to because I love him. He is keeping you alive so that once it's done I can kill you myself and still have a clear conscience. You escaped one execution on account of murder but this one you will not escape." Merlin took the man's chin roughly in his hand forcing the man to look into his eyes as he planted what he wanted the man to do in his mind "I want you to go to sleep and not wake up until I wake you myself. When you wake you are not to scream or struggle, you will sit quite and still and be compliant. You will let Arthur drink from you until you are dead am I understood." The man nodded mechanically as the glamour took effect "good then go to sleep now." Merlin growled then the man's fell asleep almost instantly slumping onto the floor.

Merlin took a few unnecessary deep breaths to calm himself from the rage he had been feeling at the man until he was calm again. Soon Arthur was sitting on the pile of furs that made up the bed and Merlin was sitting by the fire he made in silence for a few minutes until the sun started to rise it was time.

"Arthur it's time are you ready?" Merlin asked Arthur was shaking a little but said "I am a little nervous but I am ready but two thing can I make a request and ask a question?" Arthur replied Merlin smiled and nodded "Ok my question is twofold. How does this work I mean what has to be done? And have you ever turned anyone before?" Merlin chuckled they were valid questions "No I have never turned anyone before but the knowledge of how to do so is a part of a vampire from the moment the change is complete so they know how to do it from the moment they open their eyes as a vampire. As for your second question, How this works is I will have to drain you till heart is barely beating, say a few words over the wound then seal it, the final thing I have to do is feed you some of my own blood. After that you have about a minute before the venom that is usually harmless to humans unless the words are said over the wound hits your heart then the pain will start and the transformation will begin. I promise I won't leave your side I will be the first thing you see when you wake up." Merlin paused then asked "Now what is your request?" "I want you to kiss me. I want my last human memory to your lips on mine." Arthur said Merlin smiled and said "I think that can be arranged. Lie down it will be easier if you do. You will thrash around and you will be in and out of consciousness while this is going on so it will be easier if you are laying down." Arthur nodded and did as he was told settling down on the soft furs while looking into Merlin cobalt blue eyes. Merlin kissed Arthur passionately for a few moments which Arthur responded to with force until Merlin broke off the kiss asking "Are you ready?" Arthur did nodded and said "Yes I am ready I trust you." Arthur then tilted his head to expose the skin of his neck to Merlin. Merlin's fangs clicked and sunk into the silky tanned skin of Arthur neck right above the jugular vein. Merlin drank until Arthur was on the verge of death but not close enough for his heart to stop just yet before he pulled away putting his mouth close to the wound and whispering "ic áléon unc sé feorhgiefu sylfum undéadlicnes Arthur Pendragon ic béon úre wyrhta" which meant I give you the gift of immortality Arthur Pendragon I am your maker. the he licked the wound to seal it closed locking the venom into Arthur's body. Merlin then sat strait biting into his own wrist making it bleed then placing the open wound to Arthur's lips which Arthur latched onto it drinking heavily until the wound sealed itself shut. Pulling his wrist away Merlin cupped Arthur's cheek with his hand and smiled down at him saying "I will see you when you wake up I'll be right here." Arthur smiled weakly Merlin knew what he was trying to convey to him.

Once minute later the venom in his system hit Arthur's heart and Arthur screamed in pain. Merlin held Arthur's hand through the screams till Arthur passed out for a while. This went on for the whole day and night. Merlin kept track of how much longer it would take by the smell of Arthur's blood and the scent of his body but also the thudding of his heart as it slowed. By an hour before sunrise the next day there was only a few more minutes before it would be complete. At this point Arthur was out cold again not feeling the last remnants of pain as it left his body, Arthur had been out cold for most of the transformation which Merlin was thankful for.

Five minutes later Merlin knew it was over the transformation was complete now all he had to do was wait for Arthur to wake up on his own.
