chapter10
Merlin struggled with the chains Cenred had chained him with inside of the castle. There had been a moon tonight, and Merlin had tried to make it to Arthur, but Cenred had apeared right then.
"Let me go." The boy growled, then began to shruggle even more.
"Not until I teach Arthur Pendragon a lesson. His foolishness will be your dome."
Merlin froze. "What? What are you talking about?"
Cenred smirked. "When Arthur Pendragon pronounces his love to the wrong person, your heart will break. You'll feel the pain of loseing your true love."
Merlin stared with narrowed brows.
Cenred lifted Arthurs family seal. "Then you'll die."
Merlins eyes slowly widen as the words sunk in.
Cenred whispered some of his magic words. His eyes and Arthurs family seal turned gold. When he finished with his magic words, Cenred brought the neckless around his own neck.
Merlins eyes widen more when once Cenred put the neckless over his neck he had become a second Merlin. It was like the boy was looking into a mirror.
Merlin shook his head.
"Arthur will love me." Cenred growled. Then he turned and left.
"NO!"
XOXOXOXO
Arthur paced around the throne room.
"Arthur! What is it, son. The servant said you said it was ergent."
Arthur turned to Merlins and his own parents at Uthers voice. "Father. Mother." Then he lightly bowed his head to Merlins parents. "I have called you all here to dicuss something of great importance. I... have found the love of my life."
His mothers brows narrowed. "Arthur! How could you be so insensitive? We are guests here and these two are hurting because their son is missing."
Arthur shook his head. "Mother. It's not what you th-"
"I can't belive you would behave so selffishly when Merlin, your best friend has been taken." His mother continued.
"Mother, please-"
"Arthur?"
The blond prince turned to Merlins mother.
"Where is she?"
Arthur smiled. "She'll be here in any minute." He turned to the door. "I hope." He whispered to himself.
XOXOXOXO
"Ugh!" Merlin slammed his chained wrist against the wall as he figured it was a lost cost trying to break the chain on the stone. He stared at the chain and his eyes began to water.
If he couldn't get loose, and get to Arthur, then Cenred would trick the Prince. And Merlin would...
Merlin let out a loud sob. He sniffled.
"Merlin?"
The boy look up and saw Morgana, Nim and Emily. Then lowered his head again.
"It's over." He whispered. "He won."
"No h-"
"Yes he did, Nim!" Merlin sighed as he saw the bunnies face and realized he had sounded very rude. "I'm sorry." He whispered.
"It's ok Merlin."
"Merlin?"
The boy looked back up at Emily now.
"You have to know that he hasn't won. As long as you're still alive, you know he hasn't got to Arthur yet."
"Which means we can still do something." Morgana said.
Merlin raised his wrists. "How? I can't even get from here to the window."
The bunnies stared at each other. Morgana and Nim stared at each other while Emily turned the other way. Thats when she gasped and smiled.
"The key!"
Everyones head turned to where Emily was pointing at the table.
XOXOXOXO
They were still in the throne room when a knight walked in.
"Your majestys. There is someone here who wishes to speak to you."
"Where are they?" The king asked.
The knight lightly bowed then moved aside. A person in a hooded cloak walked in.
Arthur took one step forward.
The person in the cloak walked until they reached the center of the throne room.
Arthur slowly walked up to the person. When the blond prince reached the person, he reached out his hands and pushed back the cloak.
Everyone gasped.
Arthur smiled as he looked into Merlins blue eyes.
Merlin smiled back.
Arthur turned to both Queens and Kings. "I've looked everywhere for someone I care for more then anything in the world."
XOXOXOXO
"Emily hurry up!" Morgana yelled.
Emilys eyes narrowed. "You try carring this." The grey bunny pushed the key till it fell off the table.
Which then, Morgana and Nim both ran and picked it up. It was much easier with the two bunnies than with the one tiny Emily, who was too tired to move at the moment.
The two bunnies ran up to Merlin, who snatched the key with a smile.
XOXOXOXO
"I'm very happy to say that I have found my true love, my future mate. No one can change my mind. No one." Arthur glanced at his father. "If you want to change my mind, you'll have to kill me. Though not even death will change my mind."
Arthur reached out beside him and grabbed onto Merlins hand.
"I always have and always will truley love Merlin."
Arthur jumped when all off a sudden there was a shattering. He pulled away when he saw his family seal Merlin was wearing shattered to the floor. Arthurs brows narrowed when he saw Merlins face transforming.
XOXOXOXO
Merlin ran across the grass on the lake, the bunnies hopping right behind him. Just as he got near the water, he gasped. Merlin froze as he felt the breath in his lungs tighten.
He gasped again and brought his hand his chest.
He inhaled quickly and deep. His eyes widen. "No." He gasped again then whimpered and fell to the ground.
XOXOXOXO
Arthur backed up to his family.
Merlins mother yelled. "It's him!"
Cenred smiled darkly. "I did enjoy your little speech young Pendragon. I'm sure if Merlin could have made it, he would have swooned."
"Where is he?" Arthur growled.
Cenred smirked. "I'm afraid the young prince is no more."
Both queens gasped.
"My son? Merlins dead?"
Cenred turned to the Queen. "I truly would have taken care of him. But you'll have to blame Arthur. He promised to love Merlin forever, but he went ahead and pledged his love to another."
Arthurs brows narrowed. "You tricked me." He growled. "Merlin is the one I love!" Arthur drew his sword.
Cenred smirked. "Do you really want to fight me? When young Merlin is dieing a slow and painfull, lonely death?"
Arthurs eyes widen. "Where is he?" He growled again.
Cenred still smirked. "Where you first laid down your sword and decided he was the one you wanted."
Arthur turned to the two kings.
They pulled out their own swords. "Go son." His father said. "We'll take care of him."
Arthur didn't have to be told twice.
XOXOXOXO
Morgana, Nim and Emily all stared down at Merlin on the ground.
"Merlin?" Morgana whimpered.
"He isn't moving." Nim whispered.
"Is he..." Emily sniffled and brought her her to Morganas shoulder.
